We are Approaching an Inflection Point

Image
According to the Bible, before the Great Deluge, rebellious angels—violating God's natural purpose for them—defiantly cohabited with human women to father a creation of their own, all with the intent of destroying God's work. They would have eventually succeeded if God had not intervened. In addition, these rebellious angels possessed power and technology that God did not want imperfect humans to have at that time. So God completely buried everything that was part of that corrupted human society beneath the sea and mud of the earth. God knew exactly when human technology would again reach a point where it would become a threat to their own existence—and we are very close to that point. The AI world humanity is planning for marks the moment when God will need to intervene. AI technology is about information: controlling what people see, hear, and read—essentially influencing their thinking. It is the most dangerous weapon in the hands of an imperfect being. Added to that threat ...

God's Plan in Action--His Universe

When we look into the universe beyond our solar system, we sometimes see what appears to be threatening chaos—supernovas, black holes, exploding stars, colliding galaxies, comets speeding through space, and the like. However, the truth is that we are witnessing precise, calculated order. Everything happening in our universe is governed by laws. Every law has a maker and an enforcer who compels compliance with the established law to avoid chaos. Unarguably, it is a simple fact: "…every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God." God has a plan. Part of that plan was to create spirit beings like himself, who have been given the task of applying and enforcing his laws in the universe in harmony with his design. The Bible says all these "sons of God" applauded at God's creation of the earth. So, when we see a supernova, or spot what we call a black hole, or an exploding star, it is these spirit beings carrying out their task to m...

When it comes to God and Jesus Christ, there is a reason why the Bible calls one the Father and the other the Son, and that is because it is exactly what their relationship is, a father to a son.  A father and a son are two distinctly different individuals. A father does not have to share life; he chooses to share life. A father gives life to his son; a son does not give life to the father. A father does not need a son to live. A son owes his life to the father. A father teaches his son; a son does not teach his father. Therefore, a father is greater than a son in every way. A father possesses the ultimate power to choose whether to share life or not to share life.  God the Father had no beginning, the Son, who was called the Word and became Jesus Christ, is the firstborn of creation and had a beginning. The Word lives because his Father decided to share life and he was God's first creation.  Don't take my word for it, listen to the words of Jesus Christ, God the Father's...

Why do religious leaders insist Jesus was executed on a cross, when he was not? It is either they do not know what they should know, or they are complicit with promoting an untruth.  When reading the Bible it must be pointed out, it was not written in English, it was translated into English from Hebrew and Greek. The two Greek words used by the writers of the New Testament to describe the instrument upon which Jesus was executed were "stauros" and "xylon". All reputable Biblical historians agree (footnote), the Greek word "stauros signified a stake, an upright pole, or piece of paling." The Greek word xylon meant "tree". In fact, KJ, RS, JB, and Dy translations recognize "xylon" to mean "tree" as written in Galatians 3:13, where it says, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree..." Acts 5:30 concurs, "The God of o...

My question is, why do Christian denominations refuse to use or say God's name? God is just a title not a name, and quite impersonal. Jesus prayed on the last night of his life, lifting up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."  Jesus clearly says his Father is "the only true God". As Jesus concluded his prayer, he said, "And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it..." Jesus clearly states his Father, "the only true God", has a name, and he made it known. What is Jesus' Father's name?  God's name in the Bible is the Hebrew Tetragrammaton represented by the four consonants YHWH. It is recognized as Yahweh in Hebrew or in Engli...
