My Christian experience evolved in three denominational schools of thought

1. GARBC Baptist
2. Free Will Baptist
3. Pentecostal Holiness

No regrets. And I of heart do not think one denomination is better than the other. Most Pentecostal Holiness preachers I know will go on to get Masters Degrees at places like Liberty University. The preaching sounds exactly the same as it did GARBC Baptist.

When I was a teenager I read the book 2150 by Thea Alexander where she theorizes the height of what she calls Macro Philosophy. I may try to find this book and hope I didn’t throw it away…

Macro Society - The place at its height
Micro Society - The place at its lowest

In looking at the book below it shows what was thought to have been an advanced man and woman of the future. I thought at the time that the futuristic look would be of people in their tunics and looking like citizens of the Roman Empire. What has amazed me is that there is no “advanced” look to people these days. They all look like the did in Noah’s time. And it is clear to me that society will not last until 2150AD. I believe in that year we will be into the millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For decades I had no need to explore anymore into this philosophy as there was so much wonderful experience inside my churches of choice. Now the revivals are behind us I see the need to delve back into this study… Especially as a movement can easily pass from hot to lukewarm to cold these days...

If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that...

Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2)

And there are three varieties...

Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma
Mental E/c2 - Mentally, A mathematical formula, but this has chemical and spiritual properties as well.
Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. - 1 John 1:5

God can take mass and turn it into plasma... God can take the plasma and reform it into mass. All to his will and imagination... No man being his counselor. Even then... How would we humans know to create living things out of the dust alone?

Unfortunately, though, the light and the darkness interact here on planet Earth...Comparing the light and the darkness, the opposite of E/c2 would be z (absolute zero)/ d (darkness)...

Natural z/d - Nothing, empty space.
Mental z/d - Again nothing but empty space.
Spiritual z/d - z (laziness, coldness, hatred) / d (fear, despair, greed, sorrow)

Spiritually then we have...

Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)
**** The World of the Flesh - Everything in-between
Spiritual z/d - z (laziness, coldness, hatred) / d (fear, despair, greed, sorrow)

4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: - 1 John 1


And again... I do not believe there is any greater height of E/c2 than we have in God. As it is written, "He taketh the Wise in their own Craftiness." To be taken of God in such state can invite unwanted challenges and in my opinion, very much not worth it!

Tough future! I remember when reading the book 2150AD by Thea Alexander I imagined a future of advanced society where everyone walked around in great shape and in tunics. Looking like leadership of the Roman Empire of old. Everywhere I go it seems like people are terribly out of shape these days. And I would say it is hard keeping young people as they cannot see any kind of upper, advanced way in the people these days.

I have come to the conclusion that Isaac Newton was closest in his 2060AD Christ return prophecy. I would also venture to say that in 2150 AD we will probably be walking in white tunics and looking like folk of the Roman Empire of old. But it will be the time of the last millennial where the evil angels will be locked up for a thousand years during the reign of Christ.

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. -Revelation 20

So… In the meantime, I will work and do the best I can. Awaiting the return of Christ Jesus

Hi rocky,

From what people have told me "Life is what you make it."

Future - If you have a wife and a child and a family. There will be challenges.

If you stay single - If you live with your parents. There will be challenges.

Yeah the gas prices go up and down, so does the price of food it flucates throughout the year.

You will always need money to pay your bills.

Some people benefit of government who need it and who do not.

Not say no one ever does anything wrong and dont end up in prison. That is a challenging life surely in prison.

But not any different than being in the free world.

All people are gonna struggle and need something. The Resurrected Lord Yeshua and his Spirit is helpful.

Sometimes those struggles can get us down. I am hoping I do not discourage other folk during those times.
