Wednesday, Jan 11, 2023 1579 words 7 mins 1 secs

Sunday, Jan 01, 2023 584 words 2 mins 35 secs

Friday, Dec 30, 2022 1155 words 5 mins 8 secs

Friday, Dec 09, 2022 633 words 2 mins 48 secs

16. Resurrect out of the sinful past into the sinless present

Tuesday, Sep 20, 2022 1827 words 8 mins 7 secs

15. The illusion of space-time

Friday, Aug 27, 2021 1680 words 7 mins 28 secs

Space and time are nothing but beliefs. This doesn't mean that we merely have beliefs "about" space and time, as if they really exist separate from our beliefs. They exist ONLY WITHIN our believing in them, and without believing in...

Tuesday, Apr 20, 2021 3691 words 16 mins 24 secs

(this will be a fairly long post, so please bare with me)

13. Spacetime is heaven's exact opposite in every way

Friday, Oct 02, 2020 1134 words 5 mins 2 secs

Saturday, Jun 01, 2019 421 words 1 mins 52 secs

10. Space and time are not reality

Sunday, Mar 17, 2019 476 words 2 mins 6 secs

8. Spacetime is an attack on God. It does not really exist

Monday, Oct 29, 2018 494 words 2 mins 11 secs

Sunday, Aug 26, 2018 242 words 1 mins 4 secs
