dad said:You call it imagery, but it is very real. There is a new heaven and earth. There is fire from heaven that comes at the end of the millenium, to destroy the rbels who follow the devil, who is released from the bottomless pit to see if they would listen to him after all that heaven. It burns the surface of the earth, and this is right before the new heaven and earth are revealed. Jesus went up, and that is where heaven is. Not below. That is why the tower of babel was built, not a tunnel dug. No, we cannot see it, as we are in a seperate state of existance at the moment, but one day we will.
Tower of Babel is YET ANOTHER case of people thinking the earth is flat and that Heaven was within their reach "beyond the star/blue sky veil". Actually, the whole story reads like a child's story. Are we really supposed to believe that God was anything but amused at the obviously unachievable goal of men "reaching Heaven" with a tower of mud and stone? . . . .And that God was so upset at this attempt that He decided to confuse their language as their "punishment"? . . . . . As if they would have acheived their goal. :roll:
dad said:The invisible things since the creation of the world can be seen by faith. Like Paul said through a glass, darkly. But one day, face to face. But remember that these things that are not visible to our eyes were things since the creation. That includes the past, and the merged state if there was one.
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
This is NOT a matter of faith. :-?
dad said:No it is true, they are as far away as our present light takes to rravel in billions of years, theoretically. The thing is it was not our light that was here. Adam saw the light of far stars. Our light is temporary universe, physical only universe light. It's speed has nothing to do with real time.
It was not our light that was here, so it was not an increase in it's speed. Our light is what came to exist in the seperated PO state of the universe that we live in now, that is temporary. The deception is claiming, without proof, that theis state will always be, and always was! That is not God doing that. That is some spirit that tried to make God sound dead, or like a liar.
What in the world are you talking about here????? What does "not our light" or "exist in the seperate PO state" have anything to do with the fact that light travels at a certain MINIMALLY variant, nearly constant rate of speed, and if a star is millions of light years away from our planet, the light it releases MUST take millions of years to get here? What were these lights that Adam saw, which were NOT the light from our celestial neighbors?
No offense, but you have some wild thoughts. :o [/i]
