I just finished writing a new book, thus far unnamed. To get an idea of its contents, herein I am publishing the postscript:
POSTSCRIPT
As a child, in rural Hazelwood, Indiana, I would lay on my
back in the hot sun. As I laid there, my eyes would look into the sky and my
mind would as well. Even then, I often asked myself, “Who did it? What is it
all about?”
Of course, “it” was the Creation and the only answer Mom
gave me was, “God did it.” She was a simple Appalachian woman and accepted
without question that God did what scripture says He did. There was no science
about it, but merely childlike faith. Jesus said that everyone should have
faith such as that. I did not!
I always professed God because even the child me believed
in God. However, I wanted to understand how God did it. That He did it
was not enough for my young inquiring mind.
Paul spoke of the “Mystery of God” and all my life, my
desire was the solve the mystery. I could have skipped all the study of science
and philosophy because the answer was in the Book of Genesis of all places.
John even pointed me there. The instructions were in the Book of John
chapter one. John revealed the mystery and as such implied that to understand
Jesus, all I needed to do is go back to the beginning.
I have spent more hours studying Genesis chapters one
through three than the remainder of the Bible combined. As such, I discovered
Jesus, and He was there in the beginning all the time just as John wrote.
There was a problem — one huge problem. God had confounded
the languages for a reason; so that only those with bright eyes could
understand that antiquated language. Nimrod had used understanding to stalk
God, obviously to undermine Him as he
was the “Great Hunter.”
As hard as I could, I studied scripture in the English
versions. They are versions of the events of the Creation. I wanted to
know the best version, and that was the original script — Hebrew. Thanks to the
works of James Strong, I could interpret the actual Words of God (Jesus
Himself) in what I believe was His language.
Koine Greek was the common language of Jesus and the
others in scripture. Theologians call the Greek “textus receptus” — the
received text from Jesus, of course. Others may not, but I also accept the
Hebrew as textus receptus; maybe not the exact language but as close to
it as can be.
After studying the ontology of the cosmos for years, I am
convinced that the Word of God is in the Hebrew language. No, Calvinistic Baptists,
the King James Version is just another version; a good one but not
perfect. Jesus never spoke in English, so the right thing to do is to believe
the textus receptus.
The commentary that you hopefully just read are my words and
my thoughts. However, none of those thoughts were from any person, but God
truly inspired me! That sounds narcissistic and it is, but Paul thought the
same thing about his inspiration.
I am humbled that God would groom me all my life to write
this one book. As I type, my fingers did the “walking” as the popular saying goes.
At times, my fingers just went where they seemed to want to go, and voila,
even I was surprised. Whose “fingers” those were is ambiguous, but I believe
that what I wrote was inspired. Of course, be careful in some places where I
may have interfered with what God wanted me to say!
As light was revealed to me time and again, I was humbled. I
did not know so many of those things, but God does. He showed me what I believe
is truth.
Just as the Holy Ghost frightens Christians… maybe not
Pentecostals… science frightens them as well. If science precludes the Word,
that is frightening, but if it validates the Word that is emancipating.
What always created doubt in my mind, and does with others
as well, is the “six-day creation.” Although God is Sovereign, omniscient, and omnipotent, did He truly do the impossible in
six days? He is God and He could have, but did He?
Then was when Hebrew became important. What were the Words
God really said, or as close to them as anyone can expect?
What I found is that God described the process of baryogenesis
perfectly, and it compares well with what science says, except for one thing — Who
did it.
Jesus said to “marvel not” but I marveled time and time
again. God did create in six “days” but the Book of Enoch confirmed that
those “days” are “ages.”
Even to this time, people say, “in that day,” meaning that period
in time, age, or era. Enoch divided the processes in time as ages, and named them
“I,” “Adoil,” and “Archas.” Science may have, but not precisely, named them
“Boson,” “Hadron,” and “Fermion.”
Light in the form of energy fueled Higgs Boson, and from
Higgs elementary particles, massive particles were divided out. Then Higgs gave
way to matter, and matter to darkness — the unseen non-objective field.
Light and Higgs did not do the creating but perhaps God used
those things, or things close to those processes, to fabricate all things.
Have I solved the old mystery of God? Probably not, but I
have discovered that the mystery is true and have now confirmed my belief that
God created it all! That was my doubt, and although, as a human, some doubt
always remains, my faith has increased because now, for me, the things of God
are reality.
That scares many Christians but brings comfort to my heart!
The evidence of God is in the things we see. Add to that now, even the things individuals
cannot see!
Now I am an old man. Perhaps God has revealed to me all that
I need to know. Perhaps one day, some will reveal the apocalypse in the same
way. When all that a person needs to understand is, Why me? then perhaps
the only place to go is to go there.
Paul wrote, for him, death is gain. The gain may be
experiencing what God had revealed to him. He knew a person who had gone there;
in body or in spirit; he did not know. Perhaps he was speaking of Jesus,
another person, or even himself. Maybe the gain is the same experience that
Enoch had. He was so convinced that he need not die to go there!
The Book of Enoch is not canon, but it is valuable.
It reveals science before the science! How else would the patriarchs of old
reveal science unless they used scientific terms of their day. Welcome into the
field of science… Adoil and Archas!
Now inquiring me can relax. I know the truth and it
is comforting. My mind has been made free and now I can rest. Heaven is for
real because God resides there, and science are discovering the reality of it
all.
Good thoughts Larry!!!!!
