    Saved in the great Arminian way

    After we went home I tossed on the bed before going to sleep and wondered why God did not do for me what he had done for mother and what he was doing in that meeting for those young people at the altar. I could not understand it. But I resolved to keep on trying, and so dropped off to sleep. The...

    Saved in the great Arminian way

    When George Clark Rankin arrived at his uncles as a teenager he describes his uncle as a farmer like Dallas in whom I just described... In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended...

    Saved in the great Arminian way

    The old generation of Pentecostal/Methodist Virginians would work the farms as well as other jobs. They did not have the time of day to get bored with their salvation and kept up a joy and an interest in their everyday life. The pastors also kept revival going many times a year. Pictured below...

    is the SDA Church then a cult?

    Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, - Colossians 2:18

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: - Genesis 1:22 I would bet you that verse refers to much activity that befell the eternities.

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    We have no account of the creation of angels, only that there are a lot of them! But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, - Hebrews 12:2 My mother used to tell me that God has the big picture and we...

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    When did the Sons of God with the morning stars singing together? 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations...

    Angels? The Lord Jesus? And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. - John 17:5

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    Existence goes forever back... And, I am afraid, out of my ability to comprehend it.

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    The mass always existed. The universe as we know it did not begin until God said, let there be light! Disassociating the mass into E/c2 and spreading out from a point of origin. As the mass was originally described as without form, who knows if God uttered something like, “I always wanted to do...

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    The mass returns to the light and energy from which she was forged. And God will soon do something else with it! 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth...

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    For our God is a consuming fire. - Hebrews 12::29 Which would be E/c2, or plasma energy. In my prayers I bless God of being the source of all light and energy... Naturally, intellectually , and spiritually! God can take the dust of the earth and reform it however to his will and liking!

    C2 is in the denominator, E in joules is in the numerator. When the mass is disassociated there is a lot of energy and light released.

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    The reason why E/c2 is so powerful is that c2 is in the denominator.

    There is a chill in the air!

    What I am trying to describe is the change that happens spiritually in the heart through faith in Christ. John Wesley was almost in despair after a disasterous trip to America and loosing his dad. He did not have the faith to continue to preach. When death stared him in the face, he was fearful...

    There is a chill in the air!

    I believe it is scriptural for things to grow gold in the last days__ And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. - Matthew 24:5 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor...

    There is a chill in the air!

    Pierre Talec is a Catholic French priest and poet. Even though I am not Catholic I like the guy as he brought out the virtues of light and energy. He wrote a book entitled, "Jesus and the Hunger for things Unknown" in 1982 that was a joy to read. I search the internet and am surprised I find...

    I have experience with OES (optical emissions), AA (Atomic Absorbance), and other spectrometers as well. We use to have to use acetylene and nitrous oxide to read tin, which made for a huge flame!

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    I am a lab tech at a large factory and have much experience with spectrometers. Energize mass and it will change it to light and energy. Let that light pass through a prism and you can measure the intensity and come up with a percentage. m (mass) can be changed to energy (E/c2) Energy (E/c2)...
