My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.
(Psalms 38:4) NLT
Guilt is the fact of having committed a breach of conduct especially violating law and involving a penalty, the state of one who has committed an offense especially consciously, feelings of deserving blame especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy, a feeling of deserving blame for offenses.
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.
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,
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.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
(Psalms 19:4-6) KJV
Contrary to popular opinion, the Earth doesn’t have an elliptical orbit of the sun. The Earth-sun radius is, for all practical purposes, constant.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
(Psalms 139:14-16) KJV
We’re making a bold assertion that in the Biblical doctrine of gravity human souls, gravity nodes, were part of the gravitational singularity which was created on the 2nd day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9) KJV
God created the Earth’s environment and our physical bodies as a way of giving each soul an opportunity to come to know the truth about God and choose for themselves whether or not they want to have fellowship with him in eternity.
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
(Revelation 21:19-20) KJV
We don’t hammer square pegs into round holes to get the pieces of Matty’s Paradigm to fall into place. It’s deduced, not induced. This is another nail to hammer into the lid on the coffin of Flat Earth.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
(Psalms 97:2) KJV
God covered the proof of his presence as part of the plan of redemption. God gave us free will so that believing in Him is a choice. If proof of God was in plain sight there is no free will.
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
(Deuteronomy 32:22) KJV
The pit, the pit of corruption, and the lowest hell are the same thing: the molten core of the earth from which there is no return. The grave, on the other hand, in the mantle, you can be brought up from.
