DANCE, DANCING. Religious. Social

COMMON SENSE in RELIGION and LIFE. Applied to the use of: RELIGIOUS IMAGES, IDOLS, ICONS, RELICS, SACRED PLACES, and TRADITIONS.   |   To PENTECOSTALISM in GENERAL.   |  To: PENTECOSTAL DOCTRINES and PRACTICES in PARTICULAR: ECSTATIC TONGUES, ANGELIC TONGUES, FRENETIC or DERVISH DANCING, and ECSTATIC PRAYING and MOANING by several or many worshipers at the same time.   |   Applied to GENDER and SEXUAL BIOLOGICAL IDENTITIES, PERCEPTIONS, INCLINATIONS, and CHANGES.   |   To BAPTISM by immersion or sprinkling, for the forgiveness of sin or as a mere "SYMBOL" of faith, and of human beings mature enough in mind and spirit to make personal intelligent decisions, or of infants and small children NOT CAPABLE of such decisions.   |   NATURAL, COMMON SENSE impels the normal human being to PERSONAL DISCIPLINE on every level of his existence, inhibiting vices and dangerous obsessions.   |   The KNOWLEDGE, recognition, understanding, and daily application of COMMON SENSE is absolutely vital for anyone who "desires to LOVE LIFE and SEE GOOD DAYS." 1 Peter 3.10

DANIEL 7. The VISION of the "FOUR GREAT BEASTS."

Act 1 Scene 1. The First Beast rises out of the sea, roiled by the four winds of heaven. Revelation 13:1-2. So do the "four great beasts" of Daniel 7:1-3. The "SEVEN HEADS" of the "FIRST BEAST" of Revelation are not the seven hills on which Rome was built. They are not seven forms of Roman government, nor seven Roman emperors. They are not contemporary. Five have fallen, one is present when Revelation was written in 95 CE, and the other had not yet come. The "SEVEN HEADS"  are "seven kings" and "seven mountains" (Revelation 17:9), both symbolizing earthly kingdoms. Extensive evidence in support of these interpretations is also revealed in Daniel’s visions as recorded in Daniel 7:1-28, which are studied. The seven earthly kingdoms represented by the"SEVEN HEADS" of the "first beast" are identified by name. 1 video clip. 13 images. Response to a "professor" who mocks the "First Beast" as "preposterous... disgustingly abnormal and ugly... pagan language and art forms." 

DARK MATTER

Is Planet Earth TEMPORAL or ETERNAL? “The things which are SEEN are TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.” Key text: 2 Corinthians 4:18.

A New Earth, celestial and eternal, will take its place. The serious consequences of believing or not believing this divine promise. A 3-minute read. Este tema en ESPAÑOL.

DARKNESS. DARK SIDE, Of the "LITTLE TIME." Of SIN, EVIL, IMMORALITY, VIOLENCE, HATRED, CRIME, WAR

In the "ELECTIONS of 2024," the United States of America puts the BRAKES on its unthrottled, reckless, headlong race into the DENSEST, MOST DANGEROUS DARKNESS of the fearful “LITTLE WHILE” between the end of the Millennium and the END of TIME and the MATERIAL UNIVERSE.

DARWIN, CHARLES. DARWINIAN EVOLUTION. WORLD VIEW.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, Christians, God, and the "DOOMSDAY MENTALITY." Are planet, stars, and moon ALIGNMENTS Doomsday omens? The mature Christian's World View. The BIBLE, not a book of "Gloom and Doom" nor of ASTROLOGY. The INJUSTICE of judging all Christians universally by the most unlearned, irrational, infantile, and morally compromised. The SUPERIORITY of the Christian World View over the DARWINIAN. 

CRITICAL ANALYSIS of the article: "NASA was able to RECREATE the ORIGINS of LIFE and the RESULTS are SHOCKING." Sensational Fox News report. Truly "SHOCKING" is the FACT that this bold affirmation rests on a pile of SUPPOSITIONS and unsupported THEORIES.  Unqualified NEWS MEDIA collaborate with suppositional science, leading credulous minds to accept the UNPROVEN as FACT. NASA ASTROBIOLOGISTS in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory study the possible ORIGIN of LIFE in SEAFLOOR FUMAROLES. The concept of a "Primordial Sea." Theories on the AGE of the EARTH. Scientists are unable to CREATE a LIVE CELL. The unethical tendency in scientific communities and the media to state hypotheses as facts, including the underlying ones of DARWINIAN EVOLUTION. Is there LIFE, even of the most simple form, in any place of the universe except Earth? Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, with its supposed salty, subsurface ocean: Are there microbes in it?The TREE of LIFE on Earth TODAY.

"DUTY" in Jesus' teachings. The much-afflicted JOB hears about DUTY.  DUTY is much more important than DESIRE, kicking in when the "Sail of Desire" goes limp. YOUTH in general has little appreciation for "DUTY," railing and flailing against it, the "desires of the flesh" and "eyes" being their "main and secondary sails." The onerous "YOKE of DUTY." The great EVILS of shirking DUTY. The role of DUTY in building character. A message that can serve as a sermon, conference, or resource for Bible classes. Full text. 3 video clips. 8 photographs. Este mensaje en ESPAÑOL.

Do You Know and Understand? Ten great facts that masses of humanity do not know. Examples. A key prophecy was fulfilled in 1967, when Israel put an end to the rule of the Gentiles over Jerusalem during the "Six Days War" and the "TIMES of the GENTILES" came to an end. The sign of the Seventh King was seen in the 20th century with the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991, after it had been in power for only 71 years. The apostle Peter was married and had a son named Mark. That obligatory CELIBACY is one of the "DOCTRINES of DEVILS" that cause the great "FALLING AWAY" (apostasy) from the true gospel of Christ. That universal Peace and Security on planet Earth signal the imminent return of Christ.

DISASTERS, NATURAL, SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL

BENEFITS of NATURE'S DESTRUCTIVE PHENOMENA such as Hurricanes, Floods, Tornados, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanos, and Other Phenomena of Nature.

DISCRIMINATION in CHURCHES

Part 1. The New Testament teaches ZERO DISCRIMINATION in the church. Is the “Demon of Discrimination” active and effective today in congregations and their leaderships? The apostle Peter and the evangelist Barnabas were guilty of discrimination. God is not a respecter of persons. A congregation free from discrimination is a secure refuge, a beautiful creation.

Part 2. What treatment do minority Christians in a multiethnic congregation expect from church leaders and staff? The SATCHEL of PREJUDICES and DISCRIMINATIONS that MINORITIES themselves may have. A minority can be as prejudiced, or even more, than the majority. Discrimination is vanquished when all concerned achieve spiritual maturity. Some procedures to that end.

Which life is most important, that of the MOTHER or that of the FETUS? In-depth reply. "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY" for all humans conceived! Life originated by the Super Powerful Creator, the Super Intelligent Designer, who sets practical and noble purposes for all human beings conceived.

Are comets Doomsday OMENS? Are all Christians mentally deranged to some degree? NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC implies they are, that they have a "DOOMSDAY MENTALITY," in their brief article "The Hate-Bopp Comet and the Heaven's Gate Tragedy."  The subtle opposition, scoffing, and discrediting by National Geographic writers are effectively countered in an incisive and concise reply.  39 Heaven's Gate members committed suicide in 1997, certain their SOULS would board a spaceship in the tail of the HALE-BOPP COMET. 3 images. 2 video clips. Este TEMA en ESPAÑOL
