Someone’s Own Interpretation

And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
(2 Peter 1:19-21) ESV

One of the things which allows Matty’s Paradigm to be consistent with the broad narrative of scripture is understanding that creation has a specific purpose. This purpose harmonizes physics with spirituality.

Newton’s Perpetual Motion Machine

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
(Hebrews 1:3) ESV

Every particle in the universe is emitting a stream of bosons all the time in proportion to its total energy, which takes energy, so why isn’t the universe cooling off and running out of energy?

Tis Inconceivable

Quantities aren't really quantities, even if we give them names. Words define the thing, even though the thing may be unknown.

always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
(2 Timothy 3:7) ESV

Gravity decreases with altitude as one rises above the Earth’s surface because of a greater distance from the Earth’s center.
– Wikipedia

A lot of what we know about gravity was unknown to Sir Isaac Newton, like the seemingly simple and innocuous fact above. If, according to Newton’s premise, gravity is a property of matter, why would the effect of it be concentrated at the center of a body?

A Gravitational Mechanism for Redemption

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
(1 John 5:5) KJV

If we’re being bombarded by a stream of A gravity which is God’s love propelling us away from the center of the Earth, but something about our nature causes us to sink down into it, then what happens inside us to determine our outcome?

Newton’s Firmament

Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord of hosts is his name:
“If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.”
(Jeremiah 31:35-36) ESV

“And therefore as it is possible, that in the remote regions of the fixed stars, or perhaps far beyond them, there may be some body absolutely at rest; but impossible to know…” Sir Isaac Newton speculating about the firmament.

A Spellyng Mystaque

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
(Jeremiah 10:12, 51:15) KJV

It turns out that theologians fudge their data just like scientists do. Sometimes things don’t make sense, do they? What could possibly be wrong with helping them make sense? This approach is inductive, aka eisegesis.

Carnal vs. Spiritual

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
(Romans 7:14) NKJV

A major theme of the Bible, particularly the New Testament, is that we have two natures: carnal and spiritual. Even if we’re born again through faith in Jesus Christ, these two natures are at war within us.

Deductive Questioning

But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.
(1 Samuel 13:14) ESV

Deductive reasoning is a way to use logic to deduce the answers to questions, but it’s also used to deduce which questions we should be asking. We use a technique which we call deductive questioning.

Gravity was Created on the Second Day

a drawing compass and the creation of gravity on the second day

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:1-2) ESV

Gravity was created on the second day. Matter space and time existed before gravity was created. This has profound significance for theoretical Physics but we’re going to ignore that for now.

The Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15) KJV

Our unified theory of everything is, in large part, based on a theory of Biblical quantum gravitation (BQG). Gravity is something that’s been with us for a very long time. Us as in me, not us as in everyone else.
