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 maintain the stability of our universe.

When men build cities, they begin with a plan and then start construction. They also establish laws and assign enforcers of those laws to maintain order. As time goes on, a city never stays the same. It must progress and change. Trees are cut down. Ground is dug up. Things are moved around. Buildings are erected and, in time, destroyed, with something new taking their place.

So it is with the universe we live in. When we see a supernova, or spot something we call a black hole, or an exploding star, it is God's plan progressing—and his enforcers, spirit beings like himself, carrying out their task to maintain the precise, calculated order of our universe.

It is also a fact that our home, Earth, is located in the most stable part of the Milky Way Galaxy. That was no accident; it was planned that way. God also gave us a task: to populate the earth, care for all other life we share it with, and turn it into a paradise. He even gave us a model of what he wanted the earth to look like—the Garden of Eden. God's plan will succeed; his will shall be done. God's enforcers will make it happen.

The Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, and the Cross--What is the Truth about These Objects

Image
Many religious legends and fables have been concocted through the centuries. The reason was to legitimize the grand lie that became a new religion during the reign of Constantine, when Christian names were attached to pagan celebrations and beliefs. As to the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, and the Cross, you will find none of these objects being physically used or spoken of in the New Testament after the original events they were involved in, and two never existed. The Ark of the Covenant disappeared before Babylon conquered Jerusalem and its temple. When the Babylonians ransacked the temple before burning it, the Ark of the Covenant was nowhere to be found. Is it possible God disposed of it to prevent it from being misused if captured or shown inappropriate idolizing? One thing is certain, Jeremiah stated its relevance would no longer be consequential with the original temple gone. It served its purpose. Jeremiah the prophet wrote the following about the Ark...

Jesus' Birth According to the Bible

Image
Jesus set the standard when it comes to worshiping God. He said, "...they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth." This is the truth about Jesus’ birth according to the Biblical accounts of Matthew and Luke. The scriptural account in Luke tells us the shepherds were living outdoors watching over their flocks and it was nighttime. This is something they would not be doing in late December. When the winter cold began, it is a fact the shepherds brought their flocks in from the fields and would not be living outdoors, especially at night. So, Jesus' birth took place in a warmer month. More appropriately, a fall month. While the shepherds were in the fields with their flocks, angels appeared and announced Jesus’ birth to them. There is no mentioning of them seeing a star. The shepherds did not need a star to point the way. The angel told them exactly where they could find Jesus. The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see their Messiah. There was no mention of the M...

Jesus Christ is the Rock Upon Which the Church was Built

Image
Nowhere in the New Testament does it say or even imply that the Apostle Peter ever went to Rome. However, it does say that the Apostle Paul went to Rome. He was the perfect choice to do so. He was Jesus' choice. When Saul was converted and became the Apostle Paul, Jesus said this of him, "But the Lord said to him: “Go! because this man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel." (Acts 9:9-19) (Romans 11:13)  Even though the Apostle Paul was born a Jew, he was also born a citizen of Rome, Peter was not. Being a citizen of Rome gave Paul certain valuable rights and immunities. One important right Paul had as a Roman citizen despite being a Jew was the ability to appeal an injustice. If certain capital offenses were involved, a citizen could request to be sent to Rome, there to stand trial before the emperor himself, which Paul took advantage of on several occasions. Thus, he fulfilled Jesus words, "to bear my nam...
