Endnotes 30 - 57
(E30) Extra-dimensions discussed here, may be
only a minimum realm of operation for God. God may act in other dimensions
that may even be totally independent from space and time. God
is not limited, and we can only understand biblical doctrines
such as the Trinity, predestination, free-will, spiritual
gifts, and heaven and hell, by taking his extra-dimensionality
into account as we study. Secular scientists often try to
explain away Biblical miracles with three-dimensional
explanations applied to four-dimensional occurrences. In
fact, the "astral" body is the satanic counterfeit of the
"spirit," and is satanic delusion. The spirit is extra-
dimensional. (B37)
"Life After Life," by Dr. Raymond A. Moody, Jr., has
fooled thousands into believing life after death is blissful
for everyone, by recounting near death experiences wherein
people encounter a "being of light." In fact, many people die
screaming in agony that they are entering the fire of hell.
Moody's research was stacked, discounting the ideas of
judgement and hell. The being of light is not always Christ the "Light of the
World." Often the being of light is Satan the "light-bearer"
in disguise.
Florence Bulle says "...examining personal experience can
be useful in understanding biblical truths, but we must be
wary. Truth is not built on the foundation of subjective
experience--our own or others'. Rather, truth is the
foundation on which we stand to examine all subjective
experience. All subjective experience--visions, dreams,
personal perceptions, intuitional concepts--whatever occurs at
variance with the Scriptures, must be flatly rejected as
fantasy. We must stay alert to the possibility of Satan's
intrusion, if not in some visual form of light, then, more
often, as some "enlightening" thought or message. His
manifestation may be fascinating, easily catching our
imagination or interest. But one thing is certain. As we
come to know God more and more, as His radiance increasingly
fills our lives, we will be far less inclined to go chasing
after Satan's counterfeits--whatever form they may take.
Death will hold no terror, nor will life's challenges cause us
to panic, for God will direct our coming in and our going
out." (B38)
(E31) Actinic rays are all of the "rays,"
including x-rays, gamma rays, television and radio signals, etc..
(E32) In 1905, Albert Einstein derived the
equations of Special Relativity: (1) 
= 1/
(1-v²/c²), where v is the
velocity of one observer with respect to the second, and c is
the speed of light, and (2) E = mc², where m is the mass at
rest and E is the energy. In 1915 Einstein extended his
theory with the Theory of General Relativity: (3) 2(d²R/dt²)/R
+ [(dR/dt)/R]² + kc²/R² = -8xGp/c² and (4) [(dR/dt)/R]² + kc²/R²
= 8xGp/3, where R is the scale factor for the universe
(basically its length or diameter), t is time, k is a constant
describing the geometry of the universe, c is the speed of
light, G is the constant of gravity, p is the total pressure
arising from all sources, and is the density of matter and
radiation. The terms dR/dt and d²R/dt² simply represent
velocity and acceleration in calculus notation. These
equations include a correction made by Alexander Friedman in
1922, to correct a simple algebraic error made by Einstein.
These theories have had the effect of discrediting Kant's
philosophical notions, and have had a large role in reversing
the trend towards agnosticism and atheism in scientific
circles. By subtracting the fourth equation from the third
equation, the remainder is (5) 2(d²R/dt²)/R = -8xG(p +
3p/c²)/3. This equation states that the universe is
decelerating, and thus agrees with the Laws of Thermodynamics
and Entropy.
While General Relativity implies an age for the universe
vastly beyond 6000 years, it implies there is, indeed, a
creation date. The instant that the universe burst forth from a single
point of no size at all is called the singularity. Not really
a point, the singularity is the whole of three dimensional
space compressed to zero size, infinitely shrunken, actually
representing a boundary at which space ceases to exist. (B40)
In 1929, Paul Dirac reconciled the Theory of Special Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. Einstein's formula E = mc² turned out to be wrong. The current formula for relating mass and energy is E2 = m2c4
. Though taking the square root of each side produces Einstein's familiar equation, it also gives another "root," leading to the alternate equation E = -mc², implying that the energy of an electron could be negative. Dirac subsequently envisioned "invisible" matter. The result of this work was the prediction that every particle has an associated mirror-image, or antiparticle. Thus, science validates biblical assertions of an unseen realm.
Space, the "void" to us at first glance, is teeming with energy. The spiritual realm surrounds us. Truly, science, the stars, and the vast reaches of space declare God's soverignity!
(E33) Romans 8:20-21 says, "For the creation
was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one
who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be
liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the
glorious freedom of the children of God." Death and decay
(Entropy) in our Time-Space-Matter realm occurred before Adam
and Eve died spiritually. Perhaps decay began when Lucifer
rebelled. Without decay, the three-dimensional plant and
animal life processes could not have existed in the Garden of
Eden prior to the "fall" of Adam and Eve, without some type of
unknown interaction from a "fourth-dimension.". (B41)
(E34) The body should be recognized as a sample
of God's marvelous handiwork, both for its beauty and complexity, even
in its fallen condition. Through yielding to God, the body
may become the "temple" of God, which is the greatest of
accomplishments. But nakedness invariably leads to wicked
thoughts and sexual perversions in the lives of sinful men and
women, so the body is made a vehicle of evil in its present
state of imperfection.
Tim LaHaye comments that "Parents can inadvertently
contribute to [sexually perverted and homosexual, etc.]
relationships [when] parents [are] not discreet in their
lovemaking, and [fail] to shield their small children from
witnessing sexual intimacy before they [are] old enough to
understand. It is traumatic for children to see any two
people experiencing sex, but particularly their parents. Fear
of the unknown is psychologically harmful, especially in
childhood. No wonder the Bible cautions parents against
permitting their children to see their nakedness....Premature
sexual experiences, whether entered into voluntarily or
forcibly, are almost always harmful, particularly to children.
Sex is basically an adult experience, for children are not
psychologically equipped to handle it--even if they have the
physical capacity. The closer a child gets to puberty, the
more dangerous are premature sexual experiences." (B42)
A perfect being would have no cause to be embarrassed by
physical appearance, as mankind is when the strength of youth
begins to fade, yet such a being would not dwell on the
physical things, like the body. Such a being would dwell on
spiritual things. And so should we! We must catch the
greater vision. Why do so many people try to constantly
"undress" the opposite sex to their dying day? Because they
pursue evil, by choice, trying to satisfy the body instead of
the spirit. Because they concentrate on the narrow view of
life of the physical "here-and-now," rather than on the broad
and far-sighted spiritual view of life.
(E35) Only when we look through spiritual eyes
with love, can we see people for what they can someday be (the spiritual
vision), and thus defeat evil tendencies to possess, gossip,
ridicule, reject and destroy other people because of what we
often mistakenly think about them.
(E36) Mankind is referred to as "flesh and
blood" in the Bible. At the resurrection, "Out of the graveyards and from
the ocean and the battlefields of this world the bodies of
saved sinners will come back together, atom to atom and
molecule to molecule, as glorified bodies of "flesh and bones"
with no blood in them (Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:50). As
the dead in Christ are caught up above the fifty thousand foot
level, the living saved sinners will suddenly be transformed.
They will lose their blood (1 Corinthians 15:50), and their
bodies will be made like unto Christ's heavenly body (1
Corinthians 15:42-49; 1 John 3:2). Their atomic structures
will be changed so that the bodies can pass through solid
objects (Luke 24:31; John 20:19), and travel faster than the
speed of light (John 20:17 and Matthew 28:9--Jesus Christ
ascended to heaven and returned to earth in less than a few
hours). These transformed Christians will be caught up WITH
the resurrected saints in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)."
(B44)
I suspect that at the moment of Rapture, those left
behind will experience moments of utter terror as people
disappear before their eyes, leaving behind only a pile of
clothes laying in a pool of blood. How frightening that will
be! Of course, the New Age rulers will claim an "evolutionary
leap" has occurred, to calm the people.
(E37) There are many "proofs" to demonstrate
that the universe is 30 billion years old, and/or that the earth is no more than
a few thousand years old. Obviously there may be some
"scientific" discrepancy here. To be frank, I believe it is
rather brash to try to absolutely pin down a definite period
of time. The singularity creation was of an extra-dimensional
entity that we can simply not fully understand. After this
time, when the material being called Satan rebelled, the Time-
Space-Matter relationship was altered. No one knows how long
Adam and Eve tended the Garden of Eden, but certainly they
must have tended it for more than only one 24-hour day.
Concerning other "dating" evidence, one example being helium,
unexplained changes in too much of, or too little of various
elements must lie in cataclysmic occurrences such as described
in the flood account, and in occurrences such as those
described by Immanuel Velikovsky in "Ages In Chaos", "Worlds
In Collision", and "Earth In Upheaval."
(E38) Genetic mutation does occur through
deliberate tampering by man, and by natural degenerative processes functioning
under the influence of Entropy. Actinic rays can cause
mutation to occur, as in genetic damage through radiation.
Illicit use of drugs can do the same thing. All mutations are
negative aberrant occurrences.
(E39) The Piltdown man is now universally
acknowledged to have been a hoax. A pigs tooth was the only evidence for Nebraska
Man. Ramapithecus was just an ape, and Leaky deliberately hid
some skeletal fragments found in the vicinity of his
"discovery" to conceal the true facts. The Neanderthal man
was supposedly hunched over, couldn't straighten his knees,
and had bestial features. In 1956, further examination of the
remains of this individual showed that his severe skeletal
malformations were resultant from rickets and arthritis. The
Java man "discovered" by Eugene Dubois in 1891, was in 1936
admitted to be an animal even by Dubois. Homo Habilis and
Peking Man were apes. Archeology actually shows the sudden
appearance of the Sumerian civilization in an advanced state
of existence. In truth, the ancient civilizations were
probably more intelligent than modern men, a thought that is
supported by the Law of Entropy. Why are the several
"prehistoric types of men" still taught as fact in American
schools and colleges when they have all been proven to be
fakes? (B45)
(E40) Positive thinkers often get involved with
demons. Napoleon Hill, for example, has "spirit guides." He is
dabbling in divination, which is a forbidden practice, and is
in contact with demons. Divination takes many forms. Mrs.
Reagan consulted an astrologer. Princess Diana does also.
Mrs. Clinton is reported to have discussed the subject of
being First Lady with Eleanor Roosevelt, which if true, in
reality could only have been a discussion with a lying demon.
(E41) The brain is physical, subject to decay,
while the mind is of the soul, and is extra-dimensional.
(E42) Labeling is a principle utilized in
values clarification, used to shape impressionable young people into
what the secular state wants them to be. Labels are used to
excuse or condemn certain behaviors and beliefs.
(E43) Satan's self-centeredness is described in
Isaiah 14:9-17, along with the results of what it brought him: "Hell from
beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it
stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the
earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of
the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou
also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy
pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols:
the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How
art thou fallen from the heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thy heart, I will
ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in
the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be
brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that
shall see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness,
and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of
his prisoners?" Notice the five "I will's" and consider how
they parallel self-centered thoughts and actions in your own
life.
(E44) Individuals like David Koresh are not
born-again Christians. They are "wolves in sheeps clothing" lusting
after the evil things of Satan, who use Christianity for their
own personal material gain. Religion is a group of teachings
designed to tell a person how to live, designed by a leader
who can furnish no power to enable a follower to live up to
the teachings. Christianity is a relationship to a living
Person, Jesus Christ, who has not only provided a group of
teachings about how to live, but who indwells his follower as
the Holy Spirit so as to provide continuous power to live the
suggested life. Christianity is not just religion. It is a
personal relationship with God.
(E45) The word queer more aptly describes the
homosexual and lesbian "lifestyle" because they are definitely the oddballs
in the crowd. In reality, the average homosexual or lesbian
is undistinguishable from the average heterosexual, in
appearance and other habits except for sex. The word "gay" is
a lie. Any sexual perversion tends to grow in a persons life
as the time passes, unless deliberately stopped.
Homosexuality and lesbianism often does exactly that, and many
victims eventually can't even hold a job. Many end up on
welfare, which isn't "gay," and many die a slow painful death
from aids, which isn't "gay." It isn't even a "lifestyle"
since most gays are indistinguishable from the average person
in other ways. It's just a sexual perversion, plain and
simply. The usual route to various sexual perversions begins
in adolescence by letting the mind become overly preoccupied
with sexual things. The child is not yet emotionally developed
sufficiently to propery catagorize pornography for what is is.
Pornography in particular seems to "fuel
the fire" and is therefore dangerous.
(E46) The filthy and dangerous sexual excesses
common to many homosexuals, "fist-fucking" for example, are so abnormal that
they are obviously the result of demonic influence and/or
possession. The body just isn't designed for such things!
Fortunately, demon-possession cannot be
successfully hidden from a true Christian involved in leading
such a homosexual to Christ, and if the Homosexual is
genuinely seeking God's help he will be led to such a
Christian by God (John 7:17). (B59)
(E47) "Buzzwords" fill the media and liberal
rhetoric. A new language is invented that deliberately changes the meanings of
words, in an effort to deceive people, and to soften the
impact of radical liberal secular goals. Learn the buzzwords,
and learn a new way of listening to the news!
(E48) A countless number of women who have
inadequate knowledge of abortions, have suffered perforated, infected and
destroyed wombs that resulted in castration and sterilization.
Forced dilation of the cervix beyond 10 millimeters easily
results in permanent damage to the uterus by perforation. (B62)
(E49) A fetus is able to perform respiratory
movement. The child can move amniotic fluid in and out by breathing. The
silent scream of an aborted child is like the scream of
someone drowning in a lake. (B63)
(E50) Their are six types of abortion: 1)
Dilation and Curettage (D & C), where a sharp instrument is used to chop up
the child and scrape it off the uterine wall; 2) Suction
Curettage (Vacuum Aspiration), described in the text; 3) Salt
Poisoning (Saline Injection), used after 16 weeks development,
wherein amniotic fluid is removed and replaced with a strong
salt solution, that results in the baby kicking violently for
over an hour as it is slowly chemically burned alive (Some
have survived and been born alive), after which labor usually
sets in: 4) Hysterotomy or Caesarean Section, used mainly in
the last three months, wherein the child is surgically removed
through the abdominal wall and left to die by neglect or
sometimes killed by a direct act; 5) Prostaglandin Chemical
Abortion, causing severe contractions and fetal expulsion, so
severe that some babies have been decapitated in the process
(side effect on the mother are many, including many cases of
cardiac arrest when the Upjohn Pharmaceutical Company
chemicals are injected); and 6) The "Pill."
The birth control "pill" is also an abortion method, and
not a method of pregnancy prevention. The pill does not
prevent conception. Rather, it prevents the conceived
individual from attaching to the uterine wall, thus arresting
continued development and leaving it to be flushed out of the
body through the vagina to certain death. The pill is only
another form of murder semantically disguised as birth control
to make it sound nice and acceptable to the uninformed. Who
is guiltless in the eyes of God in this day and age? Almost
everyone in America is guilty of murder through birth control,
or is an accessary after-the-fact by condoning it.
Positively, practices that enable or encourage "risk-free"
sexual promiscuity have led to mass murder.
Should all abortions be outlawed? Of course not. If you are
of that frame of mind, then you need to be aware that a tubal
pregnancy is a pregnancy that is doomed. It is a conceived child
but it stands NO chance of surviving to birth. Its presence must
be removed from the mother, or she will die. It's that simple. So
there ARE exceptions to the "No Abortions!" conservative message.
The answer to correcting this societal problem is to
return to Puritan biblical ethics supporting no premarital sex
and sexual fidelity within marriage. All contrary
philosophies ultimately lead to death. And, "big government"
needs to remove itself completely from the whole issue, other than to
simply outlaw abortions of convience.
(E51) babble (bab 'l), v.i. [-BLED, -BLING],
[of echoic origin], 1. to make incoherent sounds, as a baby does;
prattle. 2. to talk unwisely or too much. 3. to make a
continuous low sound: as, the brook babbles. v.t. to say
incoherently or foolishly. n. 1. confused, incoherent vocal
sounds. 2. foolish or meaningless talk. 3. a continuous
murmur. --bab ble-ment, n. --bab bler,n. ---- from
Webster's New World Dictionary, The World Publishing Company,
Cleveland and New York.
(E52) "Today there is a growing recognition by
the scientific community of spiritual forces beyond those perceived by the
five senses...the chief catalyst awakening scientific interest
in the supernatural and catching the attention of contemporary
society has been the children of darkness--those involved in
spiritism, witchcraft, the occult...Yet the scientists
investigating the spirit realm fail to realize that when
"scientific" study is made of these evil forces, the
conclusions are bound to be false. Why? Because the "data"
from which these conclusions are drawn is innately unreliable.
How could it be otherwise when Satan is the father of lies and
the master of deception?...men and women who initiate [secular
humanist and] unscriptural theologies and practices are not
guilty alone. To become popular, false teaching must be
seized upon and eagerly spread by countless
individuals...Spiritual reality is thus obscured in a haze of
hypocrisy." (B68)
(E53) Though animals do not have
God-consciousness as mankind
does (no ability to meditate on their past or ponder their
future; no comprehension of God), they are of the physical-
material realm and the spiritual-material realm as we are. At
death their spirit must also leave their mortal physical body.
It is reasonable to expect God will give them a new eternal
physical body just as he will us. If God loves even sparrow,
and numbers the very hairs on our head, then God loves all he
has created! I remember a dog I had that the neighborhood
children teased until he began biting. I felt terrible when
I had him put to sleep. I believe God will fix this
situation, that in eternity this dog may be one of my
companions, restored to his rightful place in the magnificent
scheme of life.
(E54) "Death does not bankrupt Christians. It
only brings us into our inheritance. It unites us with our fabulous
fortune...You will have a new body...Just as the caterpillar
emerges from the chrysalis as a beautiful butterfly, free from
the limitations of a worm, you will break away from the
bondage of your earthly house (1 Corinthians 15:35-37 and 42-
44)" At death, there is no "soul sleep" for the redeemed of
Christ. The physical-material body is left behind, and one
enters a spiritual-material existence. This is a substantive
existence, perhaps four-dimensional, an interim "condition"
until the resurrection occurs, at which time we receive the
body we shall enjoy throughout eternity, which will perhaps be
a five-dimensional existence. "So if the Lord tarries and you
die, you will experience three different bodies in your
existence. First, the physical body you have now. Second,
the interim spiritual form you will have as you join the
saints in paradise. Third, your new resurrection body that
you will enjoy for all eternity." (B69)
(E55) "We will also wear crowns in
heaven...There are reasons why a crown is important...First, it shows you have been given
authority. A king or queen does not become official until
coronation day. Second, your crown will reveal your true
attitude in your service to Christ our King. If you truly
sacrificed out of love, the crown will show it. Third your
crown is the only tangible gift you can offer the Lord. The
Lord has everything He needs. The one symbol of all your
achievements is your crown. When you cast it down at the
Savior's feet in honor of Him, it will express your total
loyalty to Him.
The Crown of Life...is given to those who endure great
tribulation or temptation and remain faithful unto the very
end (James 1:12; Revelation 2:10). The Soul-Winners
Crown...is given to those who help others find Jesus Christ as
their personal Savior (1 Thessalonians 2:19; Philippians 4:1;
Daniel 12:3). The Incorruptible Crown...is given to those who
strive to be holy in all their ways (1 Corinthians 9:25-27).
The Crown of Righteousness...is given to those who are
especially faithful and looking for the appearing of Jesus
Christ (2 Timothy 4:6-8). The Crown of Glory...is given to
pastors and Christian leaders of the church who are faithful
to feed God's word to those in their keeping (1 Peter 5:1-4)."
(B71)
(E56) Job illustrates how nature testifies of
the accessibility of God and truth and the plan of salvation.
Without the aid of any scriptures, Job discerned the major
elements of the gospel even when opposed by his peers, and
found eternal life. For us, eternal life should be easier,
because we have the Holy Bible, revealing the plan in simply
just so many words.
(E57) Jesus is constructing the heavenly city
New Jerusalem right now (John 14:2), and it will descend to earth at the
beginning of the Millennium, and a mansion is being prepared
for every individual who accepts Christ's Lordship. It is
described in Revelation 21. "The thickness of the wall is 144
cubits (or about 216 feet thick). It is approximately 12,000
furlongs square or 1500 miles in each direction. It has 12
foundations or floors each separated by 125 miles. The second
floor would be out of sight of the natural eye. If the city
were divided into rooms...it would contain 3 billion, 375
million rooms--each one cubic mile. If we began at the time
of Adam and spent one hour in each room, at the end of 6,000
years we would have visited 52,570,560 rooms--leaving
3,322,529,440 rooms yet unvisited." There are, perhaps,
variables in this figuring, but this illustration gives an
approximate view of the physical scope of the heavenly city.
From the city of New Jerusalem we shall come and go,
travelling the realms of deep space, and govern all of
Creation as co-heirs with Jesus Christ under the guidance and
direction of God. This is so magnificent!
Our earth is only 8,000 miles in diameter. Our sun is
866,500 miles in diameter, only one star in a galaxy of over
100 billion stars. Our galaxy is only one of over one billion
known galaxies. Created to rule the creations of God,
redeemed men will rule the descendants of men who came through
the Millennium. These men will multiply and people other
planets (Isaiah 9:7 and Matthew 13:31,32). We who overcome
shall inherit all things (Revelation 21:7).
Let us pray earnestly that nothing shall rob us of our
magnificent inheritance! Let us work judiciously to inform
others of the wonderful message of Jesus Christ. When we who
are saved leave this life, we will only be able to take along
the Word of God that we have learned, and in a sense, those
that we have successfully witnessed to. I want all of my
family and friends to enjoy eternity with me, with God! How
about you? (B73)
