Random Questions; Bible-based answers

Okay, we are almost done with the puzzle of the HOB's border pieces with this next set of questions.

What are the most significant events related to the HOB between the previous ones?

1. Between Creation and Writing?
2. Between Hindu-Buddhism and Christ?
3. Between Roman Catholicism and Islam?
4. Between Islam and Us?
5. Between Us and Judgment?

My suggested answers:

1. Between Creation and Writing the invention of Language, the means of communicating beliefs.
2. Between Hindu-Buddhism and Christ the development of Hellenism, which included Humanism and interest in Science.
3. Between Roman Catholicism and Islam and afterward in Europe there was the medieval Dark Age.
4. Between Islam and Us the Dark Ages was ended by the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation of Roman Catholicism.
5. Between Us and Judgment the future probably will continue Humanity's king of the hill (KOTH) struggles.

being outside of time, therefore immortal.

The "being" in what sort of body? What bodily functions or processes would continue? Relevant Scripture?

i envision it as in in heaven there will not neccesarily be a measure of time, because time is simply an illusion created by the rotation of the earth. it is a creation, and the creator is not ruled by it. also being outside of time answeres a lot of questions.

i can possibly explain myself further, but it is really a simple idea but understanding it is more difficult.

If not impossible, which is why I affirm the one teaching of Kant that I think I understand: human categories of understanding are not capable of understanding alternate reality in much detail.

Relevant Scripture includes 1CR 15:35-54 where Paul refers to a heavenly body, imperishable, spiritual, changed, immortal.

Okay, time's up! At this point I will share a few more significant events to include in the last iteration of the HOB game:

1. Between Creation and Christ I find the Roman conquest of the Greek/Hellenistic culture in c. 60 B.C. should be added.

2. Between Christ and the Renaissance/Reformation perhaps what might be termed Mongol Orientalism should be cited, because Kublai Khan (1260-1294) founded the largest empire in history, which served as the interface between the Orient and the West when Marco Polo made his famous journey, which was followed by the plague or Black Death (c. 1347) imported from China that killed almost half of the population of Europe.

3. Between the R/R and Us Protestants were persecuted by kings who cooperated with the Inquisition of the RC Popes and global exploration began a period of European colonization, led by Spain, then dominated by England following its defeat of the Spanish Armada (1588), vying mainly with Holland and France for hegemony.

4. The quest for freedom by the colonies climaxed with the founding of the United States of America (1776), which became the world’s greatest defender of freedom of faith or religious tolerance.

5. Unfortunately, this was followed by an age of national totalitarianism, which might be deemed to have begun with Napoleon (d. 1821), climaxed with Hitler in World War II (1939-1945) and culminated with Marxist communism and Islamic terrorism.

Our puzzle framework concludes at this point, because the number of details that can be deemed significant for the HOB for various reasons (including numerous inventions) begins to grow at an exponential rate, so that memorizing them might seem overwhelming for many of us. However, on the KISSed thread you will find a more detailed summary of history.

Here is the Framework of mainly western history in chronological order:

1. Creation - the beginning of space and time in which history occurs (c. 14-4 billion years B.C.
2. Language - the means of communicating history (c. 10,000 B.C.)
3. Writing - the means of preserving oral history (c. 4,000 B.C.)
4. Judaism - the beginning of the history of monotheism led by Moses (c. 1,200 B.C.)
5. Indian religion - the story of Hinduism-Karmaism-Buddhism began (c. 520 B.C.)
6. Hellenism/Greek culture - Humanism and Sciences by Protagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etal. (c. 420 B.C.)
7. Romanism - the gradual conquest of the Hellenistic empire of Alexander the Great (c. 320 B.C.)
8. Christianity - centered on the teachings of Jesus and the epistles of Paul (c. 30-70 A.D.)
9. Roman Catholicism - Emperor Constantine, St. Augustine and Pope Leo I began Papalism - (c. 325-400 A.D.)
10. Dark Age - in Europe that began when Germanic migrations ended the Roman Empire (in 476)
11. Islam - founded by Mohammed's hegira (610) in Arabia
12. Mongol Orientalism - the Mongol empire of Kublai Khan (1260-1294) was the largest in history
13. Renaissance/Reformation - the printing press (c. 1450) and global exploration (1492-1524) expanded knowledge
14. Colonization - by Portugal, Spain, England, Holland and France in America and Africa (c. 1600)
15. United States - became the leader of the free world (c. 1776-1848)
16. Totalitarianism - Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Islamists (c. 1900)
17. Today - current/modern history continues humanity's struggles (c. 2000)
18. Judgment - the end of earthly history (c. ?)

I have no more random questions in mind at this time, and I guess y'all don't either, so I will quote excerpts from PS 119 by way of focusing on the "Bible-based Answers" part of this thread's theme.

Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
Who walk according to the law of the Lord.
Blessed are they who keep His statutes
And seek Him with all their heart. (v.1-2)

I seek you with all my heart;
Do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
That I might not sin against you. (v.9-10)

I rejoice in following your statutes
As one rejoices in great riches;
I meditate on your precepts
And consider your ways. (v.14-15)

I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set my heart on your laws;
I run in the path of your commands,
For you have set my heart free. (v.30&31)

May your unfailing love come to me O Lord,
Your salvation according to your promise;
Then I will answer the one who taunts me,
For I trust in your word. (v.41-42)

I gain understanding from your precepts;
Therefore I hate every wrong path.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light for my path. (v.104-105)

Time can't simply be an illusion and a creator outside of that illusion.

I think physicists say that time coexists with space, so how the Creator of those dimensions exists before and outside of them is beyond our comprehension, because we cannot even understand the physical dimensions very well. (JN 3:8-12)

Atomic clocks are way more accurate than earths rotation. They use the resonant frequency of specific atoms in which are created by God.

Yes, and my RQ is "I wonder if absolute zero makes atomic clocks freeze?"

What does that have to do with the price of eggs?

My understanding is that when absolute zero is attained nothing vibrates.

At absolute zero temperature, atoms still vibrate due to the zero point energy.

And thus after justice is achieved via fire, annihilation occurs when time shall be no more via it being absolute zero in hell
What I found was this: Atoms are in constant motion and never stop moving due to their inherent energy, even at temperatures approaching absolute zero.

And Wikipedia said "Therefore, even at absolute zero, atoms and molecules retain some vibrational motion. Apart from atoms and molecules, the empty space of the vacuum also has these properties. According to quantum field theory, the universe can be thought of not as isolated particles but continuous fluctuating fields: matter fields, whose quanta are fermions (i.e., leptons and quarks), and force fields, whose quanta are bosons (e.g., photons and gluons). All these fields have zero-point energy.[2] These fluctuating zero-point fields lead to a kind of reintroduction of an aether in physics[1][3] since some systems can detect the existence of this energy.[citation needed] However, this aether cannot be thought of as a physical medium if it is to be Lorentz invariant such that there is no contradiction with Einstein's theory of special relativity.[1]

Seems like God's omnipresence to me!

Folks, I have a random question: What is the solution to our country's fentanyl problem?
