The Law of Gravity or the Gravity of Law?

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
( 1 Corinthians 15:50-57 )

If we accept an effect as being its own cause we have done something called inductive reasoning, where our premise is used to supply evidence for our conclusion. This is circular reasoning.

The Father of Lights

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
( James 1:17 )

If God made a point in space the permanent center of creation, but yet he dwells above and apart from it, does this represent a sacrificial act? Did God have to give up part of himself to accomplish this?

A Garment Of Light

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
( Psalms 104:1-5 )

Taking Bible verses out of context and making doctrines is dangerous, but what if we keep the context and find that they are consistent with our paradigm, the broad narrative of scripture and empirical observations?

The Three Heavens

I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
( 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 )

For the Christians out there who have capitulated with science and believe that the earth is adrift in an infinite universe, there is no third heaven, so what is Paul referring to?

Tried Like Silver

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
( Psalm 66:10 )

The purpose of creation is to provide God with immortal companions who have chosen to fellowship with him for eternity. Eternity is for the pure. Jesus Christ is the means by which we are purified.

Tares Among the Wheat

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
( Matthew 13:24-25 )

The purpose of creation is to give life with free will to all souls. God created companions to fellowship with, but he is not going to force anyone to spend eternity with him. You have the free will to choose.

The Milk of the Word

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
( 1 Peter 2:2 )

If the deep was a formless mass in zero-G, and the entire mass burst into light during nucleosynthesis, then the Matty’s Paradigm scientific theory of creation has a reason why the CMBR has uniform distribution.

If God is Love Why Would He Send People to Hell?

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
( 2 Timothy 1:8-9 )

True science uses empirical observations & physical evidence to show that the Bible is an accurate account of the creation, history, & future of earth. It gives us an answer to the question.

Destroying the Wisdom of the Wise

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
( 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 )

Evolution, “change in allele frequency in a population over time,” started in Genesis 3. Evolution is not a lie. Evolution is an extensively documented process of change over time.

They are Without Excuse

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
( Romans 1:18-23 )

Life began in zero-G, that’s why Prototaxites, an organism with the internal structure of a mushroom, could grow to be as big as a Yew tree (Taxites – from where the name Prototaxites is derived).
