1 Corinthians 15:40-41 – The Naked Prophet

The Role of Synonymy

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV

Synonymy has primary and secondary roles. The primary is to make it seem as if the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy is impossible. In which case, if the Bible is the inerrant word of an omnipotent God, it’s a fraud.

Sun Star Synonymy

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
(Psalms 147:4) KJV

We’re on popular science turf (SciPop) when we start talking in scientific terms about the cosmos. This is where some sleight-of-hand has been deployed: SciPop wants you to believe that the stars are suns.

Galileo & the Mind Pirates

There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) ESV

We’re investigating the Biblical nature of stars and how they’re derived from crystalline firmament material (CFM). If you have any experience with science then you will know the importance of definitions.

The Second Heaven

(celestial realm, cosmos, observable universe or space)

The stars fought from the sky;
as they moved across the sky,
they fought against Sisera.
(Judges 5:20) Good News Translation

Most of the space between the firmament and Earth is the cosmos or observable universe. There’s something very odd about the cosmos: there’s a disconnect between what we can see vs. what we believe about it.

Biblical Cosmology

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV

Based on our first Principle, God Can’t Lie and the Bible is True, it must be possible to use the Bible to deduce an accurate model of the cosmos. We’re not talking about the Star Trek universe of the popular science paradigm (SciPop).

The Space Narrative

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV

The peer review driven popular science space narrative (SciPop) starts with the premise that the Bible is wrong and the Earth is billions of years old. It continues with the idea that stars are distant suns and galaxies.

Synonymy

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) Good News Translation

Galileo was one of the first to popularize the idea that stars are distant suns. He was trying to explain why he couldn’t measure the stellar parallax that he predicted would be there if heliocentricity was true.

The Induced Axioms of Mainstream Science

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) NKJV

Yesterday we looked at definitions of axioms, corollaries and principles. We’ve diagnosed the five inherent flaws in the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop), its supposed axioms. They are:

Axioms

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
(2 Timothy 4:3) ESV

Axiom (law): a statement or proposition that is regarded as being 1) established, 2) accepted, or 3) self-evidently true. The law in physics is actually same as axiom in mathematics.
– Axiom (law), definition

The axioms of Principia Mattymatica are (1) established and (3) self-evidently true. They aren’t (2) accepted because they’re in deliberate defiance of peer review*.

Absolute Dates

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:41) KJV

Radiometric dating has been contrived in such a way as to make it look as if the “dates” it calculates for rocks are absolute. Absolute means that the dates are separated on a timescale which is known.
