Deliver Your Soul From Death

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

(Psalms 33:18-19) KJV

Being dead doesn’t mean that we cease to exist. Dead or alive refers to the condition of our soul in terms of it’s relationship to God. God has power over the life and death of the soul, through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.

There’s no other power available which can keep your soul alive. Only faith in Jesus Christ can deliver your soul from death.

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:

  1. Alive (quickened),
  2. 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.

  1. Alive (quickened) in a new body in heaven,
  2. 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.


The Gospel is Physics

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

(Ephesians 2:4-5) Good News Translation

Passing from death to life is referred to as being quickened, q. We’re quickened when we put our faith in Jesus Christ. It’s also called being saved, or “born again.”

The Gospel is Physics (logic)

  • IF being dead in sins (pG) is when we’re under the power of the law (M),
    • AND we receive the forgiveness of sin (A),
      • when we’re quickened (q) through faith in Jesus Christ,
  • THEN pGxq=A. (F=MA)

The Gospel as Physics

“Make the people sit down,” Jesus told them. (There was a lot of grass there.) So all the people sat down; there were about five thousand men. Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted. When they were all full, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces left over; let us not waste a bit.” So they gathered them all and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left over from the five barley loaves which the people had eaten.

(John 6:10-13) Good News Translation

It’s possible to write the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as a physical formula, but that’s just algebra, can we prove a real-world connection between Physics and the Bible?

Where Mainstream Science Went Wrong

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

(Acts 17:29-31) KJV

Big G, the gravitational constant, is a property of A, the gravitational field emitted from the singularity at the center of the Earth. This causes a body to have an attractive force proportional to its mass pG. This is where the freight train of popular science (SciPop) jumped the tracks long ago and went steaming off in the wrong direction.

By Him all Things Consist

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

(Colossians 1:16-17) KJV

For by him were all things created.. visible and invisible.. The universe was created from the deep, and now it’s being sustained by the gravitational singularity at the center of Earth which, as we saw yesterday, is emitting a field of A gravity. A gravity is an outward force which causes matter to have p gravitational attraction due to a relationship between a body’s total energy and the gravitational constant, big G.
