Hi Lucy-Pevensie I have a much loved gift of Christian interpretation in these matters so always try to make the topics as accessible as possible to human experience by using visual demonstrations and things like that. Your description above is a technical expression of what is called Rule III-...

Jesus used analogies/parables to demonstrate to people what the real value of life is. The same goes for enjoying our solar system surroundings and how we see things from an Earth that turns daily and runs a circuit of the Sun. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap011220.html In that sequence of...

When Galileo had to defend his support of Copernicus and the reasons for the daily and orbital motions of the Earth, he used Augustine to remark on those who misuse the traditions within the Bible and thereby diminish what it means to be Christian in these great affairs- "If' anyone shall set...

The early Christians did discuss these matters and it was a genuine part of Christianity up to the time of Galileo until the denominational Churches jettisoned its vast heritage in solar system observations - "Some of the brethren raise a question concerning the motion of heaven, whether it is...

The last Johannine work answers itself as both faith and a masterpiece (work) of divine nature- "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were...

From 30 years experience, I found that few Christians delight in the genealogies as structures that exists in isolation and are cyclical in nature rather than a timeline trajectory stretching up to our era as history. https://books.google.ie/books?id=5VOGAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA10&lpg#v=onepage&q&f=false...

The idea of a star coming in season, in this case, 'Mazzaroth', within the magnificent Book of Job, is the basis of our present calendar system and much older than the less accurate and more recent Ptolemaic framework. It can be dismaying seeing arguments over a round/flat Earth when these...

Hi Seed_time_harvest. God gave me a gift when it comes to these things and I always want to share the information with other Christians so long as they are open to them. Even within the ancient writings themselves, there are brilliant observations and questions following from those...

I hope people will enjoy the contributions by this Christian and that I properly serve the spirit/inspiration we all share as a community. Most of it is information sharing so although it may appear like lectures or dictates, it really is just giving readers a wider perspective of...

I come from the Johannine tradition where the Bible is constructed of many different traditions, including the Christian traditions. It becomes a matter of loving what is best rather than putting one tradition in conflict with another yet Jesus himself allowed for this distinction- “I pray not...

Many Christians through history felt, as I do, that what fell in Adam, rose and lived in Christ as the reward of being as selfless as possible is a love of life and creation - "What else did Adam do but this same thing? It is said, it was because Adam ate the apple that he was lost, or fell. I...

I suppose St Francis of Assisi put it best when, paraphrasing St Paul through an analogy, he expresses the greatest Christian life there is. All Christian gifts are part of us but do not belong to us so we do not take to ourselves those things which belong to God only while all the internal and...

Although I come from a different tradition to Augustine, I share with him the concern for the misuse of scripture to promote or oppose a physical fact which links the human individual to their terrestrial and celestial surroundings. It is part of spirit/inspiration that people make the effort to...
