Theological Branch: Epistemology


Topic: Sabbath and Truth.

Gen 2:3 KJV And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

The standard of knowing Christ as God and Creator is locked in the Sabbath day.

Col 1:16 KJV For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

The Hebrews had a fascinating method of stating a truth through the use of a stylistic literary skill known as a *Hendiyaides*(sic). 

This is a way of saying what something is through the use of two words joined together by an "and" eg Wickedness is defined as Sodom and Gomorrah, Universe is heaven and earth. Aquatic life is usually called "...the sea and everything in them..."


This expression "he had rested from all his work which God created and made." is punctuated by the term "created and made", the term is extended further as "...for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth..."

The first expression is a Heindiayides...'created and made', its telling us that God is the one who Fashioned everything.

 Colossians tells us that the God who did the Fashioning was none other than Jesus Christ Himself. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth...

The Heindiayides expression is *"heaven, and that are in earth..."* which means the universe. 

If this is so, the Sabbath becomes a memorial of Creation reminding us of our relationship with the Creator Jesus.

 It gives an expression of a noble existatiality and it militates against evolutionary biology. 

The Seventh day Sabbath stands more to elevate humanity. The knowledge about God is revealed as we recognize the Seventh day Sabbath as God's way of checking idolatry and to keep us aware that God is real and he's distinct from nature.

Theological Branch: Kairology

Topic: *Time from a Greek Perspective. Part 1.* Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the *times of refreshing* shall come from the presence of the Lord;” (Acts 3:19) The ancient Greeks had two words for marking the differences between the experiences of time: kronos and kairos. "As usual, the Greeks were ahead of us in thinking and speaking about such conundrums. Where we use one word to describe a whole range of things, they had the good sense to use different words to mark distinctions in reality and in experience. “Kronos (or Chronos in the English spelling, from which we take our word chronology) is sequential time. Kronos is the time of clocks and calendars; it can be quantified and measured. Kronos is linear, moving inexorably out of the determinate past toward the determined future, and has no freedom.  Kairos is numinous time. Kairos is a time of festivals and fantasies; it cannot be controlled or possessed. Kairos is circular

Topic: The Sabbath and Cosmology and Sunday as the Mark of the Beast, Part 3 SubTopic: Sources of the week  Sectional topic: Astronomical arguments of the week part 1 Pierre LaPlace called the week "the most ancient monument of astronomical knowledge..." The week has been mostly describes as the creation of Jewish theology. However it is undeniable that the Sabbath day has been kept in the memories of the people through the Hebrew economy. Outside the Hebrew society it is the Germanic Tribes in Europe that had a seven day cycle, probably derived from the Helenestic culture through Alexandria  the capital city of the sciences in the 4th century BC. The Genesis account states the following with regards to the creation of the solar system: Gen 1:14-19 KJV 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the he
