Defining the Soul

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

(Mark 12:30-31) KJV

The soul encompasses the aspects of heart, soul and mind: our self-awareness. The mind gives us grief, sorrow and knowledge of the law: all things that require understanding.

Job 16

Job’s response to Eliphaz’s second speech.

Job seems more contrite – at first. After his previous speeches in which he dug his way ever deeper into an understanding of the mind of Christ, now he is having a pity party.

After his deep soliloquy he is jarred back to reality by Eliphaz’s idiotic repetition of his former words.

  • Soliloquy – an act of speaking one’s thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. (Ecclesiastes 10:12)

A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. (Proverbs 18:6)

He begins by telling his friends that if the situation were reversed he would say nice thing to them and try to help them. v. 4-5

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. (Proverbs 20:5)

In v. 7-15 He goes on to severely criticize his friends.

v. 9 mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (Mark 7:20-23)

He seems to be talking about them not to them. He is continuing his conversation directly with God.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. (Psalms 4:4)

v. 16-22 he defends himself once again and boldly claims that he didn’t do anything to deserve this v. 17 he appeals to heaven v. 19

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. (Job 9:15-16)

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you might not sin. And if anyone should sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.ย  (1 John 2:1)

Dark Matter Isn’t

The Nobel Prize for Failing to Detect Dark Matter

Science Headline: Dark Matter Particles Must Be Smaller Than We Thought

This is because, [Brown] explained, since they cannot differentiate between dark matter signals and background signals, “if we had seen a dark matter signal we could have measured its size, but because we couldn’t see it, we can only say it has to be smaller than “this amount,” Brown said. He gave the example that, if there were two signals detected, they would be attributed to the two background events predicted. But because there were no events detected, background or dark matter, the dark matter “particles” must be smaller than they’d anticipated.

By Chelsea Gohd June 01, 2018

It is clear that something unseen is providing the gravitational interaction which maintains the universe in its current stable state. That’s evidence. It is not evidence of dark matter, it is simply evidence of something.

Milestones

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

(Matthew 17:19-21) KJV

Behemoth

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

(Job 40:15-24) KJV

Behold now Behemoth. Is there any doubt that this passage is about a Brontosaurus? If it’s merely poetry then the picture it paints for is of a sauropod dinosaur, lumbering around taking it’s time, eating everything in sight. See the full article.

Salvation

  1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
    • believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
  2. confess your sin.

Fed by Ravens

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

(John 7:17) KJV

Did you know that it’s possible to know God’s will? That is, what to do NEXT? When that’s done, the next task is revealed. It’s like following a trail of bread crumbs, or being fed by ravens. We come to know God’s will by doing God’s will.

Water Of Gall

Deuteronomy 29:18-20

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

Water is the essence of free will. Water is inherently unstable. Water is the physical medium in which cause and effect are linked. Gall is defined in a variety of ways, but they represent cause and effect.

Politics, Hell and Climate Change

For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

(Deuteronomy 32:22) KJV

Some of the most vocally opposed to the idea that climate change is real are evangelical Christians. It’s ironic since the Bible makes it clear that hell’s been expanding since it was kindled at the fall of man.
