Alive or Dead?

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
(Colossians 2:13) KJV

Paul’s writing to people who are metabolically alive and telling them that they were dead, but now they’re alive. Clearly he’s not talking about biology or their bodies, he’s talking about their souls. We’ve identified two states of the soul:

Alive (quickened),
dead.

During the days of our time on Earth we can be either dead or alive while our body’s still breathing. The difference between being dead or alive is whether or not we’ve trusted in Jesus Christ and been forgiven of our sins (quickened).

When we take our last breath it’s not the end of existence. We continue to be conscious, aware of our environment and external stimuli. Our soul is a gravity node which continues in one of two states after our body dies.

Alive (quickened) in a new body in heaven,
dead, but receiving stimuli and interacting with the environment,
- in hell (temporarily), then
- in the lake of fire (permanently).

June 18 (12) – Dead or Alive

All souls are eternal, however, they’re either dead or alive. The death of our body isn’t the end of consciousness, and the death of our soul isn’t the end of existence.

Searched out Beneath

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
(Jeremiah 31:37) KJV

The interior of the earth is not seen. The hope of our generation is that hell is a myth. That would mean that there’s no judgement for sin and we can live immoral lives without fearing any consequences.

Unfortunately the very same data that SciPop uses as evidence that there’s no hell may be used as evidence for hell. That’s how evidence works: it’s evidence of whatever you choose to believe about it. This is known as Matty’s Razor.

We all have exactly the same evidence.
Our choice of paradigm determines what we believe it’s evidence of.
– Matty’s Razor

Jeremiah’s Logic

IF God will cast off the seed of Israel,
1. If heaven above can be measured,
2. the foundations of the earth can be searched out beneath,
BUT God doesn’t cast off the seed of Israel,
THEN:
1. heaven above can’t be measured,
2. the foundations of the earth can’t be searched out beneath,

Formed: יֹצֵ֨ר – Yatsar

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
(Psalms 136:6) KJV

On the 3rd day the dry land was stretched out above the waters of the deep in a manner which may be visualized as a potter making a hollow vessel out of a solid lump of clay.

Genesis 1 vs. Genesis 2

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Hebrews 11:3) KJV

Genesis 1 and 2 aren’t contradictory, they have different narrative style. People who want them to conflict are looking for an excuse to dismiss the truth, because they don’t want the truth.

Theory is the SciPop Word for Faith

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Hebrews 11:3) KJV

We all have exactly the same evidence.
Our choice of paradigm determines what we believe it’s evidence of.
– Matty’s Razor

We show that the words faith and theory are synonyms. Sight and empirical are also synonyms. Empirical evidence is what we see. What we choose to believe about it is our faith.

Gravitational Drag Effect (GDE)

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
( Hebrews 1:3 ) KJV

It’s not possible to prove that the earth is rotating. Experimental results which have formerly been used as a way to prove that the earth has daily rotation are examples of Gravitational Drag Effect.

Make all Things According to the Pattern

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
( Hebrews 8:3-5 ) KJV

Hydrogen atoms, H⁺, are necessary for nucleosynthesis, but also for life. If we said that all metabolism is based on a process that produces a supply of H⁺ it would not be an exaggeration.

The First Law of Thermodynamics

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
( Hebrews 11:3 ) KJV

The existence of the deep means that the process of creation does not require God to create anything from nothing. The first law of thermodynamics is not broken in the Biblical account of creation.

Once Offered

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
( Hebrews 9:23-28 ) KJV

The sacrifice, slaying the lamb from the foundation of the earth, made creation possible. The symbolism, a sacrifice made for our propitiation, was given us by Jesus of Nazareth. They are both the Son of God.

One of a row, a letter (of the alphabet): στοιχεῖα – stoixeion

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
(2 Peter 3:10-13) KJV

Stoixeíon is translated as rudiments, principles or elements. It’s the origin of the word stoichiometry, a term with specific meaning in physics and chemistry. The periodic table of elements is an example of stoichiometry.
