Ask the Author / Re: Breakfast ... it's time to feed at Jesus Feet ...
« Last post by David on August 27, 2017, 04:54:14 AM »
Below I have listed several topics that arose during our first 'breakfast Bible Study' time. I hope you will find the below further references to these topics helpful.

Topics to address:

1) The Holy Bible is NOT man's word and is the standard to which we must compare all our own ideas and all other teachings, (as the Bereans did), else, if we 'light our own fire and walk in its light' ... we will then have from the very hand of God ... 'to lie down in sorrow.' (Psalm 12:6-7, Deuteronomy 12:32, Revelation 22:18-19, 2 Timothy 3:14-17, 2 Peter 1:15 – 2 Peter 2:3, Isaiah 50:11)

2) The wisdom from above is 'easily entreated' ... Note God says to us: 'Come, let us reason together.' (James 3:17, Isaiah 1:18)

3) There is a devil and he has a host of demons that serve him. Jesus overcame the devil for us and cast out many demons ... and commissions us, to do the same. (Luke 10:19)

4) The devil and his demons are not our only enemy ... we are also to overcome our own (fallen) fleshly desires and the voices of this world. (Mathew 26:41 and Mark 14:38 and Romans 8:3-5, John 5:4)

5) God has given us ALL we need to overcome: (a) the blood of Jesus to overcome all the accusations of the devil and his demons, (b) the Holy Spirit to help our weak flesh, (c) faith in His Word to overcome this world and its lusts. (Revelations 12:11, Mathew 26:41 and Mark 14:38 and Romans 8:3-5, John 5:4, also see Ephesians 6:10-18)

6) It is true that many of the children of Ishmael, desire to serve the God of their father Abraham, but 'Allah' does not have the same character as the God of Abraham. The whole religion of Mohamed was created by Rome in the 600's in an attempt to regain Jerusalem from which to rule the world. This was revealed to our generation by Alberto R... after he became a true believer in Jesus, and so he then left Rome and his Jesuit order to expose so much of the evil that he had been taught by Rome and seen there. (Link to be provided.)

http://www.fmh-child.org/Prophet.html

http://fmh-child.org/Alberto.html

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IrOWBqZbbew

7) There is none righteous ... No, not one. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. (Psalm 14:2-3, Isaiah 53:6, Romans 3:10, Romans 5:12, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1-3, Ephesians 2:8, 1 John 1:8-10)

8 ) Not all our saved. The gate is 'strait' and the road is 'narrow' that leads to life, and few there be that find it ... vs ... the gate is 'wide' and the road is 'broad' that leads to destruction and many go that way. (Matthew 7:13-14)

9) We must be born again ... flesh gives birth to flesh ... Spirit gives birth to spirit. Flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God. (John 3:5-8, I Corinthians 15:50, Psalm 51:10)

10) Not every one who says Lord, Lord ... shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 7:21-23)

11) The lake of fire is the eternal end for all who follow the devil and his angels. (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 19:20, Revelation 20:15, Revelation 21 : 8 )

12) See Revelation 21, 22 to see what is prepared for all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ask the Author / A New Explanation for Barry Setterfield's Work Regarding the DECAYING SPEED of C
« Last post by David on August 20, 2017, 05:43:16 AM »


Below is the contents of a recent letter to my niece, re. her daughter, my grand-niece, who hopes to go into engineering, and the text was also copied to my youngest son ...

I suspect that this may be of general interest to all 'Science Types' and also to all 'Bible Student Types' ... and so I have reproduced a copy, as per below:


While researching the other day to try to find a source to confirm what I had said that I had read years ago, re. Einstein's:

E = mc^2 (E equals m times c squared)

... that this formula was (pivotally) inspired by the words he had read from a text in the Holy Bible ...

I again came across much that suggested Einstein, sadly, had greatly plagiarized the work of several others that he was privileged to see ... etc...

I was already aware that his wife was the so very much better mathematician ...
and that he had not been faithful to her ... and that he also seemed to have been used (abused) greatly, in his time of world wars ...
to advance the coming (Satan inspired 666 - see Revelation 13) New World Order / One World Gov. (under the guise of world peace).

But ... I also, happily, came across a profound concept during my web search:

If one rearranges the parameters in the formula to have c, the speed of light, depend on E (energy) and m (rest mass),

then we have this:

c = sqrt( E / m )

where E could represent *all the Energy in the Universe*,

and m ... *all the mass*.

Now, needed also, to understand next, how I just thought to apply the above reformulation of c as a function of E and m  ...
we need to use one very profound outcome of the Bergman (of Common Sense Science) spinning ring model for electrons and protons ...

http://www.commonsensescience.net/

(and for a good 1st approximation to the Bergman model of electrons and protons, think of an hula-hoop shaped electron and proton, with the charge spread uniformly over the surface of the hollow ring), with the diameter of an electron with the order of magnitude about 10^(-15) meters ...
with the charge (i.e. the current in the torus shaped current loop - i.e a magnet) spinning at the speed of light (c) ...
with each electron having the exact same charge but opposite polarity in nature to that of a proton ...
and think of the proton as being very roughly speaking, having a diameter of only about 1/1000 that of the electron, so thusly, this (positive) charge is so much more 'dense' in space ...

and thus, when it 'is moved', the induced (opposing) fields (forces) are so much very greater (for a proton) than when an electron is attempted to be 'moved' ...
and this is what we call 'inertial mass' ... the property that an object has that resists 'change' to its 'rest' state.

SO ...
we see that 'inertial mass' is really a 'derived quantity' ...
while the charge for each electron (and proton) is the primary and constant property.


Also ... years ago, I came across a research paper, published by Barry Setterfield, and from Stanford U., in which he indicated that c, the speed of light, was not a constant, but had significantly steadily decayed over the time frame of about 100 years of its measurements ...
and so Barry further proposed that c, the speed of light had decayed so very rapidly after creation, so that it had reached to the present nearly 'asymptotically flat value, i.e. nearly constant present measured values'. 

Now ... we are also told that God 'stretched out the heavens ...
as a curtain' (Psalm 104:2, Isaiah 40:22, 42:5, 44:24, 45:12, 51:13, Jeremiah 10:12, 51:15, Zechariah 12:1) ... at the creation ...
and one day, it will be 'rolled up again, as a scroll', (Isaiah 34:4, Revelation 6:14) ...
and that finally, there will be a (re)newed heaven and earth wherein is righteousness ...
and that God shall wipe away all tears and there shall be NO more death, etc... (see Revelation 21).

So ... if all the charge in the universe is occupying a shrinking space ...
its charge density is increasing ...
and thusly, the 'secondary derived property of what we call 'inertial mass' is ALSO increasing' !!!

Thusly, in the formula,
 
c = sqrt( E / m )

if E is the (constant) total Energy in the Universe,

and m represents the (now ever more slowly) *increasing* 'total inertial mass in the universe' ...

we can see, very simply and clearly, a formula to validate Barry Setterfield's analysis of all the measured speeds of c ...
and to confirm his conclusion ...
that in the last hundred years or so, the speed of light has been decreasing asymptotically to its present nearly constant value.


You Stephanie, are the first to see this ...
you and your Melissa ...
and our delightful time to celebrate Melissa's 16 Birthday ...
and our conversation about her desire to pursue a career in Engineering Science, over our lunch together a few days ago ...
this was the impetus. 

Please show to Melissa, and I will copy Matt.

Much love,
Your uncle David

P.S.
Also, Melissa might want to know that the main stream idea the c is the upper-speed limit to everything is NOT true.
For example, physicist Tom Van Flanders knows that the effect of gravity is felt at  ...
at least 8 orders of magnitude faster than c

A start to 'Heaven's inspired answers':


Who is GOD?

Every building has a builder, but the builder of ALL things is God.

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
(Hebrews 3:4)

Genesis 1
1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day:wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
(Exodus 20:11)

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
(Exodus 31:17)


Who is Jesus?

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
(John 5:24)

John 10
11  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
...
14  I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
...
26  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30  I and my Father are one.

Ephesians 2
4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


John 8:38
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: ...

John 14:7
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Joh 14:9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

John 15:24
If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin:
but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

Isaiah 9
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 12
1  And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2  Behold, God is my salvation (Yeshua); I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD THE LORD is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation (Yeshua).
3  Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation (Yeshua).
4  And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5  Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6  Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Isaiah 53
3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9  And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.


John 1
1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Hebrews 11:3)



Philippians 2
3  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.



Joh 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Joh 5:17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Joh 5:18
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath,
but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Joh 5:19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Ge 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Ps 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Ps 102:25
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Isa 45:12
I have made the earth, and created man upon it:
I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Isa 45:18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it;
he hath established it, he created it not in vain,
he formed it to be inhabited:
I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Eph 3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
who created all things by Jesus Christ:


For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
(Colossians 1:16, 17)

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
...
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
(Hebrews 1:2,3,10,11,12)

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
(Hebrews 3:3,4)

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
(Revelation 4:11)

Read the story of Jesus and the woman of Samaria at the well ...

What is worship?

What is Spirit? Truth?

What does it mean to be (born again)
Born of the Spirit?
Born of the Word?
Born of God?
(Do we have any part in 'being born again'?)

New Covenant ... why ?
All taught by God

The letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

We are all (who follow Christ, are commissioned to be) ministers of the Spirit ...

In the very place of Christ, we implore men to be reconciled to God ... since ...
(He who knew no sin, was made to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in HIM.)

2 Corinthians 5:
14  For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15  And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16  Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19  To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20  Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

What is the HOLY BIBLE?
See Psalm 119:60, John 17:17, 2 Timothy 3:16,17

Who wrote it?
See 2 Peter 1:16-21

How has it come to us?
As per above, see: 2 Peter 1:16-21

Did God Promise to preserve it?
See Psalm 12:6,7, Matthew 24:35

So where is it (in English) today?

(Compare versions to see: 1 John 4:19 KJV vs NIV; Matthew 7:14 KJV vs NKJV)
(Then see:  Matthew 11: 28-30 'yoke easy ... burden light', Galations 1:6,7, Numbers 24:3-9, Jude 11)

Note: God chose the foolishness of preaching to save whoever would believe ... why? (1 Corinthians 1:17-31)

We love him, because he first loved us. (KJV:  1 John 4:19)
We love because he first loved us.         (NIV:  1 John 4:19)
(Do you see that the NIV is a perverted text?)

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(KJV:     Matthew 7:14 )
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
(NKJV:  Matthew 7:14 )
(Do you see that the NKJV preaches a false gospel?)

Please note these precious words of Jesus:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30 -- so NKJV Matthew 7:14 is preaching a 'difficult way' ... and so it preaches a false gospel.)

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:6-9)

Carefully note this warning from Jesus: (Matthew 7:21-23)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

And see the end of Balaam ... and those who have hearts like his: (Jude 11,12,13)
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Now see the amazing experience and prophecy that Balaam had ... but tragically, it seems he never was truly converted.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. ( Numbers 24:3-9)
