WONDERFUL GRACE OF JESUS

WE ARE SAVED BECAUSE OF GOD'S GRACE

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MERCY AND GRACE

WE SHOW MERCY TO THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED OR PITIFUL

BUT GOD SHOWED HIS GRACE TO HIS ENEMIES BY FORGIVING THEM


ON THE CROSS WHILE JESUS WAS DYING JESUS PRAYED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CRUCIFIED HIM

JESUS PRAYED. "FATHER. FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO"

GOD HEARD JESUS PRAYER AND ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST WHEN PETER PREACHED IN ACTS CHAPTER 2 = 3,000 OF HIS "ENEMIES" WERE SAVED AND BECAME THE FIRST CHURCH IN JERUSALEM

In Genesis 1 God created the heavens and the earth then God said let there be light, that same light from Genesis is Jesus Christ from the beginning of creation, Jesus is the light before the light, the light before what we see in the sun the moon and the stars.

Calvintaneng, need to gather the faithful sheep , to march into the beatiful land of milk n honey of NETX ? It is not even holy Sunday, looks like business is reallly rotten.
Maybe its a signal that the sheep eyes are wide open now n can think for themselves, what is real n what is too good to be true ?
Rest well n take care of your health, money is not God, dont need to serve it 24by7.
If cant sleep well, could mean you have taken on more than you can chew, God & Mammoth does not mix well, could end up lose all that is really worthwhile, ie your reputation /name gets smelly by the rots in NETX, just not worth it...

All that powerful - The Calculated Total Energy (Power) In The Universe

The zero-energy universe hypothesis proposes that the total amount of energy in the universe is exactly zero: its amount of positive energy in the form of matter is exactly canceled out by its negative energy in the form of gravity.

The Beginning : Massive Star (Super Sun of Earlier Light) Died To Make Like Possible

Massive stars burn brighter and perish more dramatically than most. When a star ten times more massive than Sun exhaust the helium in the core, the nuclear burning cycle continues. The carbon core contracts further and reaches high enough temperature to burn carbon to oxygen, neon, silicon, sulfur and finally to iron. Iron is the most stable form of nuclear matter and there is no energy to be gained by burning it to any heavier element.

Without any source of heat to balance the gravity, the iron core collapses until it reaches nuclear densities. This high density core resists further collapse causing the infalling matter to "bounce" off the core. This sudden core bounce (which includes the release of energetic neutrinos from the core) produces a supernova explosion. For one brilliant month, a single star burns brighter than a whole galaxy of a billion stars.

Supernova explosions inject carbon, oxygen, silicon and other heavy elements up to iron into interstellar space. They are also the site where most of the elements heavier than iron are produced. This heavy element enriched gas will be incorporated into future generations of stars and planets.

Without supernova, the fiery death of massive stars, there would be no carbon, oxygen or other elements that make life possible.

Natural Instinct : Sun Admiration Appreciation and Glorification

The sun or a representation of the sun has been regarded as a deity, as in Atonism in Egypt in the 14th century BCE. Although sun worship has been used frequently as a term for “pagan” religion, it is, in fact, relatively rare.

Though almost every culture uses solar motifs, only a relatively few cultures (Egyptian, Indo-European, and Meso-American) developed solar religions. All of these groups had in common a well-developed urban civilization with a strong ideology of sacred kingship.

In all of them the imagery of the sun as the ruler of both the upper and the lower worlds that he majestically visits on his daily round is prominent.The sun god occupied a central position in both Sumerian and Akkadian religion, but neither the Sumerian Utu nor the Semitic Shamash was included among the three highest gods of the pantheon.

The sun was one of the most popular deities, however, among the Indo-European peoples and was a symbol of divine power to them. Surya is glorified in the Vedas of ancient India as an all-seeing god who observes both good and evil actions. He expels not only darkness but also evil dreams and diseases.

TRACEABLE ORIGIN/FOOTPRINT OF ASTROMYTHOLOGICAL-RELATED CULTS

In the solar myth, the death of the “old sun” occurs as the length of daylight decreases and becomes its lowest at the Winter Solstice which begins on the midnight of December 21 (early morning December 22) and ends on Midnight December 24 (early morning December 25). The sun stop moving south on December 22, it is then at its lowest point in the Northern Hemisphere, residing in the vicinity of the Southern Cross. It stays at this lowest point for three days (December 22, 23, 24 appearing to not moving south or north and was considered “dead”

It “returned to life” at midnight on December 24/ early morning December 25, when it begins its northern journey again and the hours of sunlight start to lengthen. Therefore, the ancient said that the SUN was born on December 25. As a result, mistletoes, holly, wreaths, cakes, gifts, greeting cards and feasts were done to honour the Sun, the undisputable life-giving sun that has the miraculous inexhaustible power to nourish everything, and helping to facilitate agricultural, etc.

A clear-cut case of the ancient protoscientists' ratinalism being hijacked by medieval fundamentalists.

A dying god, also known as a dying-and-rising or resurrection deity, is a god who dies and is resurrected or reborn, in either a literal or symbolic sense. Male examples include the ancient Near Eastern and Greek deities Baal, Melqart, Adonis, Eshmun, Attis, Tammuz, Asclepius, Orpheus, as well as Krishna, Ra, Osiris, Jesus, Zalmoxis, Dionysus, and Odin. Female examples are Inanna, also known as Ishtar, whose cult dates to 4000 BCE, and Persephone, the central figure of the Eleusinian Mysteries, whose cult may date to 1700 BCE as the unnamed goddess worshiped in Crete.

Yes, Noah Of Sumer Origin in Old Wives' Tales

After having created men, gods wanted to destroy humankind through floods. Human beings had indeed multiplied to such an extent that they were making too much noise, annoying gods. They quickly reacted. Namtar, the god of death and plague, was in charge of unleashing a disease upon men and women as an example.

Enki, the god who created the human race, managed to save them. The gods sent other calamities, but each time, Enki helped women and men. Enlil, brother of Enki, was jealous of the creatures of his father. He decided that a universal flood would drown all mankind.

Then Enki appeared in dreams to a human, Atrahasis also called Utnapishtim, and gave him his instructions. (We already know them: “Build an ark soon, embark animals couples, and all your people”, old story). So Atrahasis did what Enki had requested. He built a large boat, embarked birds and livestock.

Atrahasis also embarked in the ark members of his family. Then a heavy rain began to fall continuously. “After seven days and seven nights, the storm subsided. Atrahasis left the boat and made offerings to the gods who were hungry. Enlil, enraged, noted that men had survived the flood.”

'The Epic of Gilgamesh' is an excellent book to read too, no?


_____________

A much earlier and even much older wives's version of the tale:


In the Sumerian version of the flood story (Clay tablet in cuneiform writing ETCSL 1.7.4), the causes of the flood are unclear because the portion of the tablet recording the beginning of the story has been destroyed.

Somehow, a mortal known as Ziusudra manages to survive the flood, likely through the help of the god Enki. The tablet begins in the middle of the description of the flood. The flood lasts for seven days and seven nights before it subsides. Then, Utu, the god of the Sun, emerges. Ziusudra opens a window in the side of the boat and falls down prostrate before the god.

Next, he sacrifices an ox and a sheep in honor of Utu. At this point, the text breaks off again. When it picks back up, Enlil and An are in the midst of declaring Ziusudra immortal as an honor for having managed to survive the flood. The remaining portion of the tablet after this point is destroyed.

Eagles/Enlil (Garuda/Phoenix) vs Serpent/Enki (Naga/Dragon) in Sumer's cuneiform tablets of 5000 years old is a good read too

The eagle actually represents domination & control. The eagle was Enlil’s symbol, a dark “god” if there ever was one, seen as Zeus, among other identities (which they all had, being so long lived). The eagle was Enlil’s symbol because Enlil had command of the skies — of the Anunaki star ships patrolling the air. Enki, the serpent or dragon, was “god” of the seas, of the land, also seen as Poseidon, among other identities.

(The very origin of Satan/dark God)

Now, take a break from old wives' tales - scientists' discovery from genetic mapping:

The male analog to the "Mitochondrial Eve" is the "Y-chromosomal Adam" (or Y-MRCA), the individual from whom all living humans are patrilineally descended. As the identity of both matrilineal and patrilineal MRCAs is dependent on genealogical history (pedigree collapse), they need not have lived at the same time. As of 2013, estimates for the age Y-MRCA are subject to substantial uncertainty, with a wide range of times from 180,000 to 580,000 years ago

The Mitochondrial Eve (also mt-Eve, mt-MRCA) is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all living humans, i.e., the most recent woman from whom all living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers and through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman.

In terms of mitochondrial haplogroups, the mt-MRCA is situated at the divergence of macro-haplogroup L into L0 and L1–6. The age of this split ranged at around 150,000 years ago.

And back to some old wives' tales on Eve comes from Adam :

If woman was created from Adam, after his initial creation, than what happened to the female created at first? The answer, according to the Midrash, was that she was Lilith; created with Adam, she refused to comply with Adam's demand that she submit herself to him, and in the end fled from him.

Lilītu is a Mesopotamian demon , female counterpart of Lilū , born like him by the wind god Enlil . Lilith rerurns as a figure in Jewish folklore, Lilith is often envisioned as a dangerous creature, who is sexually wanton, and who steals babies in the darkness. And in the Dead Sea Scrolls 4Q510-511, Lilith first occurs in a list of monsters. Her rough features are mor consistent with Homo neanderthalensis than Homo sapiens.

Neanderthals and humans interbred ‘100,000 years ago.’” Really, the idea that Neanderthals and humans share DNA from “interbreeding” isn’t new—it’s been known and well documented for years. What’s different about this news item is the timeline. The 100,000-year date, according to evolutionists, pushes the date back another 40,000 years.

According to the second chapter of Genesis, Eve was created from Adam.

Eve was more sapiens because she was Adam's descendant?

And Big Bang would become old wives' tale in the future

Though future astronomers will likely have the benefit of advanced technology and a more sophisticated understanding of physics, they won't be able to take advantage of the last vestiges of evidence left over from the Big Bang. The trace signals from the explosion that set the universe in motion 13.7 billion years ago will likely be all gone.

Astronomers today can look at galaxies more than 13 billion years away that were formed only millions of years after the universe began. They can also study the so-called cosmic microwave background radiation — a pervasive light in the cosmos that was created by the Big Bang and still lingers on.

However, in the future, these clues won't be visible to scientists on Earth or its near environs. The cosmic microwave background light will have faded away and been stretched to the point that its particles of light, called photons, will have wavelengths longer than the visible universe.

And because the universe is expanding, the ancient galaxies that are now just within our field of view will be too far away to see from future Earth.


(Their only hope to reconfirm the big bang theory is hypervelocity stars. These will allow them to learn about the cosmic expansion and reconstruct the past.)

Old Wives' Tales of Chirality Supports Panspermia

Levo- or Dextro-form?

l-forms of amino acids tend to be tasteless, whereas d-forms tend to taste sweet.[12] Spearmint leaves contain the l-enantiomer of the chemical carvone or R-(−)-carvone and caraway seeds contain the d-enantiomer or S-(+)-carvone. The two smell different to most people because our olfactory receptors are chiral.



In biology, 19 of the 20 natural amino acids are homochiral, being L-chiral (left-handed), while sugars are D-chiral (right-handed): Why our body's amino acids are all in levo-form?

The origin of this homochirality in biology is the subject of much debate. Most scientists believe that Earth life's "choice" of chirality was purely random, and that if carbon-based life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, their chemistry could theoretically have opposite chirality. However, there is some suggestion that early amino acids could have formed in comet dust. In this case, circularly polarised radiation (which makes up 17% of stellar radiation) could have caused the selective destruction of one chirality of amino acids, leading to a selection bias which ultimately resulted in all life on Earth being homochiral.

Each version of old wives' tale has a great potential to serve as a the strongest social glue towards extreme ethnocentrism and exclusive cultism.
