Another example in 2 Peter 3 The Day of the Lord 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. 11 Therefore...

Another thought I have about self driving cars. It could be that you think you are driving the car, you have all the pedals, steering but reality is the AI computer is doing the driving, constantly monitoring the road and perhaps your intentions.

1 John 3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of [a]God! Therefore the world does not know [b]us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that...

Thier is no record in scripture of the church venerating Mary. Mary was there with them, but there is little written about her. There are no Mariology doctrines, all that was added on to the scriptures.
