Christianity and the End Times

Oh, good grief...Sounds travels through a medium by vibration. The medium can be anything that has atoms, air, water rock, bone, space suits....whatever. Cochlear implants work via bone conduction. Here's a transcript from Apollo 17:Geology Station 2143:29:03 Cernan: Now, I want to try to take this piece off first. (Pause as Gene hammers)143:29:10 Schmitt: Pretty hard, isn't it.
[Hammering sounds - a soft "plock" - can be heard through Gene's suit. He takes seven whacks at the top of the boulder on the east end.][Cernan - "Although we can hear on the tape that the microphone in my suit was picking up the sound of my hammering, I don't ever remember hearing it. I could certainly feel it; and I've always contended that it's a very fine line between hearing noise and feeling noise. With that hammer, when you hit something the shock went through your whole body; but I'm not sure I ever heard the noise, probably because my ears were covered with the Snoopy helmet."][What seems likely is that, when Gene hits the rock, the hammer rebounds against the palm of the pressurized glove, creating a sound wave in the suit loud enough to be picked up by the microphone at Gene's lips. In brief, the suit acts like a drum.]

That's pretty ;much what I already said, and then it turns out it was the same answer given by others, but then it got answered in turn in that video which I guess you didn't check out. All mediums don't transmit sound exactly the same way. A drum won't transmit the sound of metal clanking on metal.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

You should try reading my post before replying to it. I didn't say anything about recorded sounds or the ISS.What I said was, "Sometimes it's hard to tell the con-men from the rubes. The con-man's greatest asset is the rube who truly believes." I was referring to your stance on the "end times".You can be either the con-man or the rube.

Why aren't they believed on that issue?Since everything they say is taken as unquestionable authority on the moon landing.(Why a double standard?)I might have to finally post a UFO thread.(in a few weeks perhaps)Edited by LamarkNewAge, : No reason given.

Astronauts testify to seeing unmistakable Unidentified Flying Objects (UUFOs). Right.

Probably, I don't get all of this. "rube" ?What is it that you think you have that I would possibly want to "con" you out of?Do you think I want your money ?
Is it allegiance to me personally, I want to "con" from you ?
Or is it that I want to "con" people into loving the Lord Jesus Christ?What do you have that you think I want to CON from you ?? Edited by jaywill, : No reason given.Edited by jaywill, : No reason given.Edited by jaywill, : No reason given.Edited by jaywill, : No reason given.

When the Son of God appeared on earth the first time, it was to sow Himself into some people. That is to dispense His divine life into their life for a combiningand union of the divine with the human.This life produces a new humanity. This new humanity is meant to grow, develop, mature, and ultimately to reign - regaining all that was lost in Adam's fall yet going on BEYOND that fall as well.When Jesus came the first time its was to SOW Himself into man that God and man might be mingled. This life is supernatural and must be cultivated and grow in men and women in the proper environment. Throughout the ages God has been doing precisely that with some who cooperate with His indwelling, implanted life.When a critical mass of such cooperative saved people is reached Christ will come back physically to earth to assign them to regain what was lost on the fall of Adam, They will reign as God-men with Christ.Christ is not coming back because men increase in knowledge.
Christ is coming for the growth of this spiritual life in people.It is not the bulk increase knowledge which is prompting the coming of Christ.
And that includes Bible knowledge or science knowledge of church history knowledge or knowledge of doctrine or creeds.What is wooing Christ back is primarily a growing love to life by Him and unto Him. Some have died growing into this maturity. Some will be alive at the time of His return having grown in this union with Him.

Please take your pulpit and preach your magical nonsense elsewhere.

Interesting. Is that Witness Lee? Or Watchman Nee?I think of salvation as regeneration of the spirit we lost at the Fall, never thought in terms of a literal sowing of the divine nature into us.

But there is no Fall in the Bible and what is in the Bible is God saying that eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge made man more like God; just like the serpent said it would.

This states the Fall:
Romans 5:12

No, that states a totally unsupported assertion by Paul. It does not support a Fall at all. Nor is there any evidence in the rest of the Bible to support his assertion.

As I said, sometimes it's hard to tell the con-men from the rubes. Maybe you're trying to con yourself into believing in the easy-way-out Christianity that you preach.

The Bible is pretty ambiguous about whether the sins of the father should be passed on to the children. Exodus 34:7 says yes, Deuteronomy 24:16 says no, etc.

Romans 5:12 is quite unambiguous in the case of Adam
