Streatching out the Heavens: Chuck Missler Part9

http://www.khouse.org/articles/1999/245/

Do you understand the universe to be over 15 billion years old? Or that it was created in 6 days less than 10,000 years ago? If you believe the latter, was the light that appears to have traveled millions of light-years created in transit? Were aging factors "built-in"? Were the "days" of Genesis actually geologic ages?

Stretching the Heavens

There are, of course, many other provocative issues. Is the vacuum of space really empty? What is the firmness of the "firmament"?

The term "stretching the heavens" appears at least 17 times in the Bible. According to the Scriptures, the heavens can be "torn," "worn out" like a garment, "shaken,"1 "burnt up,"11 "split apart" like a scroll, 1 and "rolled up" like a mantle13 or a scroll.14 The concept of being "rolled up" carries some additional insights. There must be some dimension in which space is "thin." If space can be "bent," there must be a direction it can be bent toward . Thus, this tells us that there must be additional dimensions beyond those of space itself. And what about the velocity of light-is it really a constant as most physicists have been taught to presume? Or has it, too, been changing as a result of Genesis 3? (The properties of free space-an "absolute vacuum"-will be explored in next month's article, along with some startling discoveries which may alter our perceptions of this universe in which we live and move and have our being.)

Thank you jinkyfc- an excellent and timely word. True Christians really need to know where they are and get their oil in their lamps. We need to be prepared to die if asked for our faith in Yeshua- all praise be to Him.

This is an incredibly powerful prayer, an uplifting message of hope and salvation for all of us, Christian and non Christian alike.

Thanks for uploading Jinky,

enjoyed very much'... I am Always learning .. I would think some how it would be easier to believe God is in control.. Scientifically put forth here very well however it raises questions for me' about free will' I ask if god ..lord .. if god traveled back he knows our paths all laid out ? do we have free will ? to choose sin or perhaps we are some how predestine ? If god wanted worship would not the tree's and beasts sing? faith is all that man can have that pleases god as I understand..?

Excellent stuff as always. Stomps all over the bureaucrat tools of satan, without actually stomping, nicely done.
