The Righteous Will Shine

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

(Matthew 13:43) NKJV

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

(Matthew 4:21-22) NKJV

There’s nothing in this definition of the word used for the act of creating the universe about it being from nothing. The clear understanding is that something was mended, repaired and completed.

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

(Matthew 6:30) NKJV

“Grasslands limited“. This is a microcosm of circular reasoning in two words. Whenever the remains of a grassland habitat is found fossilized it’s assigned to something other than the Eocene. The Eocene is the Eocene because it’s the Eocene.

Hypothesis 4

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

(Genesis 7:11) ESV

Was Mars the source of sediment for the Old Red Sandstone in Scotland and other deposits around the world? Comparing specimens from Mars and Scotland will show that they have the same provenance.
