The bible says God created the universe through Jesus, that Jesus is the exact imprint of his nature, and then became flesh. He always was, but was given a name that had been prepared for him from the beginning, with hints even recorded in Genesis 1 and 3. Genesis 1, in the beginning God spoke saying, "Let there be light." For the first time in all physical history, God -a transcendent and all powerful being- spoke to a blop of dark potential matter and mass that had a form like water saying, "Let there be Light." God not only made his presence directly known to a super cosmic void, the making of his presence at all brought a type of energy and force that the material blob had never experienced before.. sonoluminescense is cool here because we can use it's principles as a potential analog. Genesis 3, the curse to satan that through the woman's "seed," which later passages expand the meaning of "seed" to include reproductive material like sperm, not just lineage, which means in Genesis 3, seed could be seen as an oocyte by modern understandings. God knew the specific oocyte that he would use for his body way back in the garden. Redemption was his mission not his purpose. His purpose is to reveal the full glory of God; which is done through the redemption and restoration purchased through the cross. It sounds like im just trying to argue a small thing, but the distinction that Jesus's purpose was redemption vs Jesus's purpose is to reveal the full glory of God is important.

Imagine being indoctrinated for 12 years by a system that teaches strict methodological naturalism and then saying you aren't biased. Open your eyes and question what you think you know. Jesus is the only truth worth seeking.

I love how God lives rent free in the minds of people who claim he doesn't even exist. I love how they pretend to be intellectual and open only to reveal that they don't actually read or have any serious stakes in anything meaningful.

Shout out to @trad_west_ [From Facebook] Scientists confirm: Joshua in the bible really stopped the sun. For centuries, modern skeptics have completely dismissed the Book of Joshua as mere poetic imagery or mythological exaggeration. But history has a profound way of permanently validating Scripture. ​In Joshua 10, the text describes one of the most astonishing military victories in the Bible. During the battle of Gibeon, Joshua commands the heavens: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon… and the sun stood still for about a whole day." ​While critics love to mock this as a physical impossibility, researchers from Cambridge University recently reexamined the ancient text and the astronomical data, uncovering something completely groundbreaking. ​By analyzing the original Hebrew, they realized the phrase translated as “stand still” can directly mean “ceased to shine”—the exact terminology used in the ancient world to describe a solar eclipse. ​Using highly advanced astronomical calculations, these researchers pinpointed the exact celestial event. On the afternoon of October 30, 1207 BC, a massive annular solar eclipse—a "ring of fire"—passed directly over the land of Canaan. ​But the historical anchor goes even deeper. This timeline perfectly aligns with the Merneptah Stele (carved around 1208 BC), a massive Egyptian granite slab that contains the absolute earliest known non-biblical reference to Israel as an established presence in Canaan. ​Look at the absolute, undeniable convergence of truth: ​Joshua commands the sun to alter its normal shining. ​ The ancient Hebrew wording perfectly aligns with eclipse terminology. ​A mathematically confirmed "ring of fire" eclipse occurred over Canaan on October 30, 1207 BC. Ancient Egyptian stone carvings confirm Israel was actively warring in that exact region during the exact same timeframe. ​The modern world constantly tries to reduce the Bible to mere fables. Yet, the deeper we dig into archaeology, history, and astronomy, the more the foundation is proven to be completely unshakeable. ​The day the heavens altered over Gibeon wasn't just poetry. It was an awe-inspiring, recorded historical reality.

Time is not fundamentally a coordinate waiting to be measured. Time is recognized through transformation, and clocks are simply standardized transformation counters. The days of Genesis 1 then should not be read with a modern understanding of a day. A "day" is recognized when a transformational state reaches completion and is observed. Not because a certain number of seconds elapsed, but because a distinct phase transition has occurred. On days 1 -> 3 of creation, there were no stars, things like Cesium, or any relativistic anchor meaningfully connected to anything scientific we use today. So to say those days were literally 72 hours would be to impose an entirely modern interpretation and understanding. We currently don't have a scientific way to map how those 3 days of creation translate to what we observe in physical time. They could look like 72 hours, they could look like 3000 years, or they could look like millions or billions, but these are just what it **looks like**. Stars would have been in their protostar forms before ignition and they would not have had the same dominance on relativistic influences as they did post ignition. Stars coming to ignition on day 4 radically and fundamentally altered the make-up of the universe. The bible explains this by saying stars were given authority to govern time, seasons, and so on. It doesnt say they were just placed in the sky where it was day and night.

The bible suggests that as it gets closer to Jesus returning, God will directly start issuing corrective judgements and punishment upon the earth. It says many people will respond to these by cursing God more, trying to hide from him, or otherwise refusing to repent of their ways to turn to him. (Rev 9 and 16)

Romans 5:12-14 [12] Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— [13] for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. [14] Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

The geneologies of Genesis are the primary reason anyone is a young earth creationist. Even when granting that it's possible some generations werent listed; you arent getting thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years worth of lost/unnamed generations. People aren't clinging to a young earth model just because we feel like it, want to be contrary to the world, or even necessarily dogmatically believe in 6 literal 24 hr periods of creation week.

What do these passages say to you? Isaiah 42:8 [8] I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols. John 17:1-5 [1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, [2] since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. [3] And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. [4] I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. [5] And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

Good morning. If you are reading this, it is not an accident and it's not coincidence. God has called you His and has sent His son to redeem you and set you free. Be free indeed. Enjoy the true freedom that only comes from recognizing the Lord Jesus as our savior, and God in whom Jesus was sent.

Human flourishing and longevity is not the exact point of God's interventionary miracles like healings or saving someone's life. "Why does God save some but not others," is a real and difficult question we face, but the above statement helps give understanding. This physical world is fleeting and is marked for ultimate destruction. Even those who are saved, healed, or made whole one day still must die and experience more suffering at some point in the future again. So why then do some get saved and others not? Because both move people towards God, just in different ways. We do not have a God though who is cold or calloused in this but rather shares in our griefs and sufferings. Colossians 1:16 ​"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him." ​Hebrews 1:2 ​"...but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world." ​John 1:3 ​"All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made." ​1 Corinthians 8:6 ​"...yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist."

God calls us purchased, owned, and inherited property. This gets revealed through Jesus Christ. We are slaves to God. But it is better to be a slave to God than to be a freeman of the world while quietly building your own chains for a worse slavery. Jesus said, "come to me, all ye who weary," just as he said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one," (John 10:27-30) The world sells “freedom” as self-ownership, but Scripture says self-ownership is usually just slavery with better branding. Man says, “I belong to myself,” while sin, appetite, pride, fear, death, and the approval of others quietly write the deed. Christ flips the whole thing: you are not free because nobody owns you; you are free because the right Lord owns you. “Ye are bought with a price” means God’s ownership is not exploitation, but redemption. He purchases what sin had enslaved, not to crush it, but to restore it.

The bible is the best book in the world. Everyone knows it. That's why it's talked about so much.

Not trying to engagement farm, but if you have received the Holy Spirit and have been sealed, will you like this post and perhaps consider sharing it so that others may like it? It would be cool to see how many true Christians are on X and willing to be bold in their faith.

Time is the most valuable resource you have, and it is what the world and satan love to take up the most. Ephesians 5:15-16 ESV [15] Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. The KJV uses a good phrase here: "Redeeming the time." The Greek phrase used is exagorazo ton kairon, which carries a much stronger sense of urgency and deliberate action than simply "making the best of it." ​ ​"Redeeming" (Exagorazo): This is a marketplace term meaning "to buy up" or "to rescue from loss." It implies intense, active effort—like a merchant snatching up a valuable commodity before it's gone. ​"Time" (Kairos): Instead of chronos (linear, ticking clock time), the author uses kairos, which means a strategic, God-given opportunity or a decisive moment. ​Because the text notes "the days are evil," it means the current cultural and spiritual climate is actively pulling people toward worthlessness. Therefore, you can't just passively manage your schedule; you have to aggressively seize and rescue every spiritual opportunity right now before it slips away. It is absolutely an urgent call to action. What is the solution? Practice mindfulness. Dont let your thoughts wonder and dont fall into autopilot. Be conscious about being concious. Be present and take control over your life.

Could watch and learn from Dr. Lennox for hours. He isnt one afraid of hard questions. youtu.be/dLrvJeSugkM?si=Zhgw…

The same hands that wrote, "The Lord is my Shepherd," also wrote Uriah's death sentence because he would not cover up the king's sins. The same hands that were going house to house persecuting and arresting the early church were the same hands who would then go on to preach house to house, joining the very people they were persecuting. The story of Scripture is not that God uses perfect people, but that He transforms broken ones. The same grace that forgave David and transformed Paul is the same grace offered to us today. The gospel is not the story of good people earning God's favor; it is the story of a holy God redeeming sinners and making them new. If God can turn persecutors into preachers and adulterers into psalmists, then no one is beyond the reach of His mercy, and no past is beyond the power of His redemption.

Psalm 46:10 ESV [10] “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

They reject God the Father, but embrace "Mother Earth." They reject the authority of Heaven, but seek to build heaven on earth. They reject the Kingdom of God, yet promise a human utopia. They reject the idea that mankind is fallen, while simultaneously trying to solve the very greed, lust, envy, pride, violence, and corruption that Scripture says flows from the human heart. And so men are set against women, children against parents, and every institution is called into question. The conflict is not ultimately between men and women. It is between God's created order and mankind's desire to redefine it. The first temptation was not merely disobedience. It was autonomy: "You shall be as gods." The ultimate inversion of a holy, righteous, heavenly Father is not simply a matriarchal figure. It is the worship of creation over the Creator. It is exchanging the throne of God for the sovereignty of self. It is seeking salvation through human will instead of divine grace. The beast does not always arrive wearing chains. Sometimes it arrives offering freedom.

Is it not possible for someone to still remember a public speech 20-30 years later? Or any form of conversation or event? As the bible records though, the Holy Spirit of God was with the early disciples teaching them and guiding them in what to say, and even what to record.

Imagine you are a believer when the mark of the beast starts rolling out. Your partner, who claimed to be a believer, is with you in protests at first.. But when time goes on and you start running out of food, the lights get shut off, you are living in absolute stone ages because yall dont have the mark, what happens then when your partner starts insisting getting the mark is a good idea? Are you going to be able to resist then? What happens when your partner starts using your children as leverage against you? What happens when they take the kids to go get the mark behind your back and then go back to living a seemingly normal life without you? Will you still be able to resist?
