God the Son

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

(1 Corinthians 1:30-31) ESV

We successfully tested the hypothesis that the deep, the Word of God and Jesus Christ are identities of God the Son. The scriptural context of each one is congruent with the featured passage. It’s Hypothesis 18.

Interesting Times

So here’s a funny thing…

@Twitter is censoring my @matty_lawrence account and the #HellExpanding hashtag.

The timing of this is very interesting, coming as it does right when I have dug my way down to the very heart of the theoretical foundation of modern science: the gravitational constant.

The gravitational constant gives science a way to deny the existence of Hell and the possibility of the fulfillment of Biblical prophesy such as the stars falling to earth.

Being censored reminds me of what Jesus said: “and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” (Matthew 24:9)

Interesting times to be sure.

The Center of Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

(Genesis 1:6-8) KJV

When the Lord said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters… he established the position of the heavens. Considering the passage: when he set a compass on the face of the depth: it’s completely logical to understand the heavens as a circle, or sphere, which has a fixed distance, or radius, from the center.

Divide the Waters from the Waters

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

This post is part of the series Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

( Genesis 1:6-8 )

Dividing the waters above from the waters below requires at least two things to happen, as we will see. Above what? is a good question, since there was only a formless mass at this time. Whatever was to divide the waters has to be constructed in the process of dividing them because there was nothing there to do it before. God made a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there is something both under it and above it. The concept of under and above tells us that there is now an up and a down, so an ordering has already taken place, at the beginning of the process of dividing the waters.

Propitiation

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(1 John 4:10) ESV

Propitiation is the price paid for our redemption. This was Jesus himself. He lived a sinless life and his sacrifice was sufficient to pay for the sins of the whole world.

Justification

being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

(Romans 3:24-26) NKJV

Being cleansed of my sin and made holy is achieved through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. This is justification.

My Sin

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

(Romans 3:21-23) NKJV

Original sin caused the fallen condition of mankind, but it’s not the reason for the fallen state of creation and and it’s not an excuse for the sin that I/you/we commit. I’m not going to have to pay the penalty for original sin, but I’m going to have to pay the penalty for my sin. Recognition of the fact that we all are sinners is essential for salvation.

Original Sin

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –

(Romans 5:12) NKJV

Why is original sin such a big deal, and why did Adam and Eve eating forbidden fruit have such a profound impact on the world. Why does it still impact each of our lives today? The simple answer: Physics.
