This popped up today in my reading.
Not long ago I had AI pull together a chart on the size of the World and the Great Void. But there is a Spiritual side to this that we can easily get sucked into….the first article refers to the 2nd more detail one.
I mention these as another traveler to heaven recently came up. I will put some links to material about him at the bottom.
There is a Quantum World out there…it’s part of God’s actual design. And there can be bizarre interpretations in this area. We can add this to all the current discussions of The Unseen Realm, and Non-Earth Aliens, UFO’s/UAP’s, transhumanism (a term that came up in last night’s dinner conversation), etc. Personally, I’m in a time of refocusing on Solid Biblical Reading, Study and Doctrinal Understanding. Perhaps it will be useful in the future:
All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God
2Ti 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2Ti 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Our two major historical Catechisms help to reinforce our singularity of purpose. Yet we almost never teach them.
Westminster Shorter Catechism
Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?
A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.
Q. 2. What rule hath God given to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him?
A. The Word of God, which is contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him.
The Heidelberg starts directly diving deeply in to the Scriptures revealing the true comfort we have in pursuing that.
1. Q. What is your only comfort in life and death?
A. That I am not my own,[1] but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death,[2] to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ.[3] He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil.[5] He also preserves me in such a way[6] that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head;[7] indeed, all things must work together for my salvation.[8] Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life[9] and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.[10][1] I Cor. 6:19, 20 [2] Rom. 14:7-9. [3] I Cor. 3:23; Tit. 2:14. [4] I Pet. 1:18, 19; I John 1:7; 2:2. [5] John 8:34-36; Heb. 2:14, 15; I John 3:8. [6] John 6:39, 40; 10:27-30; II Thess. 3:3; I Pet. 1:5. [7] Matt. 10:29-31; Luke 21:16-18. [8] Rom. 8:28. [9] Rom. 8:15, 16; II Cor. 1:21, 22; 5:5; Eph. 1:13, 14. [10] Rom. 8:14.
I wonder how many times these old Protestant Jewels are actually taught in our churches, or even mentioned in passing. I only began to study and understand them when, I late in years, decided to teach them to a small group in our church. I only became familiar with the Reformed Three Forms of Unity, as I began spending time with a small church about 35 minutes away from our town. There they are taught on a regular basis, in Sunday School to the youth and children, and in the evening service by the Pastor to the whole congregation.
Ok, now for the Bizarre Stuff…
Justin Peters has a whole series he did on Gabe Pairot.
