1 | Can the Hubble measure the universe? | Jer 31:37 | Rowdy | 141883 | ||
Response to the two main points of your post: 1. I'm just now reading a very interesting book, edited by John F. Ashton, PhD. The title: "In Six Days." The subtitle: Why 50 Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation. It's quite powerful as all 50 of these scientists have PhDs in their respective science AND they're not just "flunkies" rejected by the science community. Each one has made major contributions to the science community and is quite successful in his/her own world. The 50 different sciences cover the whole spectrum from Astronomy to Zoology and everything in between. (The book even addresses the subject related to Information or Computer Science.) It's divided into 2 main sections: the first dealing with Science and Origins and the second dealing with Religion and Origins. You might also benefit by checking out the website, www.apologeticspress.org by Dr. Bert Thompson. 2. There are a multitude of scriptures in the Bible that speak to this rather difficult topic of the "End of Times" but the most powerful AND overriding statement is from our Lord Himself. Jesus says that the ultimate end of the world will come upon the world like a thief in the night and thus no one will know when that might be. I don't think no one will even come close to guessing when this might happen. I'm convinced we spend far too much time dwelling and discussing this subject. It doesn't really add anything to the whole of Christianity. Most often it causes bad feeling and much confusion for most of the people who do spend their time with this topic. I do hope my words here encourage you to seek other more useful and productive topics. God bless. Rowdy |

2 Pet 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. 11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! "Looking for and hastening (hastening - to urge on, to eagerly await) the coming of the day of God" Titus 2:11 For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; 13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 1Thes 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: "You are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." To say that we will have absolutely no idea when the last days are is not consistant with this scripture. I don't recommend that we obsess over the end times scriptures to the detriment of other studies, but neither should we ignore them. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Love in Christ, Mark |

3 | Can the Hubble measure the universe? | Jer 31:37 | Praise Be To God | 142048 | ||
I wish our country would spend more money on humanitarian issues, and less on space investigation. My OPINION is, we could travel forever and not reach the end of the universe, because it is expanding all the time. Man is so finite. He should not try to play God. It is not becoming. We were created to worship God. Look at how messed up we've become. All we need to know can be found between Genesis and Revelation. Janae |

Hi Janae, But if we didn't spend billions of dollars on space telescopes, how would I get all this nifty wallpaper for my computer? Seriously, I agree, we need to measure instead our love for others by our dedication to them. I get uncomfortable when my church buys new TV screens for the overflow area, when the old ones still worked. The world is so so far away from what God calls us to, however, "there, but for the grace of God, go I." But on the bright side, Jesus is coming to set all to rights!! :) God Bless!!!!! Mark |
