I see what you are saying there. I felt that way as well, as it does have a bit of a multiple personality thing going on.

However, for him the concepts are related as they both involve worldwide judgment, investigation, etc.

Didn't concern me until he told Progmonk that he'd be ejected from the wedding feast. But I expected that was forthcoming. Some folks get offended that you won't spend six hours watching repetitive videos and another hour trying to decipher some strange cartoon graph that had to be "updated" in 2006 because it didn't work out.
So now that I see the OP is willing to assume he knows the condition of another man's soul, I'll unsubscribe and be on my way.

LOL. I love that too. All these false prophets have to update their predictions in order to keep pushing their false doctrine.

Wow. I've just witnessed someone playing God.
Not so, the Word of God is the Judge itself, for listen a moment if you will please:

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Matthew 12:34

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:45

Can we judge what comes out of the mouth?

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24

Can we also judge the fruit?

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:16

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:20

progmonk, in many places has openly rejected the 7th Day Sabbath of the Lord thy God, and refuses Him in His Commandment, and presently refuses to repent and obey Him, and refuses to cease from being at enmity with God and His Law, so much so, that even after patiently speaking with him, he now has set himself against these things - even calling those things of the Spirit of God, heresy. Like the Pharisees of old, he is setting himself in the place of God, even judging the Ten Commandments by His own standard, and thus sets up his own righteousness. The whole life of Chrtist Jesus was in obedience, and we are given grace and empowered by it to live in it, to even obey God in all His Commandments.

Matthew 22, reveals that investigative judgment [the King comes in to "see" the guests before the wedding] going on now, during the proclamation of the 3 Angels Messages of Revelation 14:6-12 and 18:1-24.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: Matthew 22:11

God is searching all those whom call themselves his Friends, for many say "Lord, lord..." and refuse His will [Psalms 40:8].

Therefore, the Word is judging him, and I pointed it out to him, that if he turn not unto God and find grace and repentance in His eyes, he, as others which do the same, will be a fulfillment of Matthew 22:12.

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Matthew 22:12

I also spake in the future tense, "It will be asked of you...", that is unless there is repentance.

From the mouth, we can see the heart overflowing, and I do not have to be God to notice that portion which is revealed as such.

As it was in the days of Noah...so shall it be in the days of the son of man...

Many speak evil of the Law of God, and cast a evil light upon The Awesome Eternal Law of God:

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:2

Consider, the following text:

Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. Isaiah 28:17

Understand this... and it becomes clear.

Indeed, for this concept, we all are to understand, for Christ Jesus Himself, gave it as such:

But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Luke 17:26

Evidence of the Global Flood from the science itself:

102 - A Universal Flood - Amazing Discoveries TV

102 - A Universal Flood / Genesis Conflict - Walter Veith


102 - A Universal Flood / Genesis Conflict - Walter Veith - YouTube

Yes, the Flood was real, the evidence is all around us, and beneath us, and in the oceans, and we utilize flood materials all of the time in fossil fuels.

The Holy Spirit of God was striving with man, and sending prophets, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, and for a long time, God was patiently waiting, patiently calling for repentance, and for acknowledging of the truth, and God "saw" the wickedness of man, that their hearts were only evil continually, though many claimed to honour and worship him... yet only a very, very few lived, Noah only and the 7 others.

A similar message is going forth today, and like Noah, the whole world mocks at this message of mercy...

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Hebrews 11:7

For God:

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2:5

The message of Revelation 14:6-12, 18:1-24, is such a world-wide message again, and many will refuse it, for they are hardened of heart...

Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 14:14

Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness. Ezekiel 14:20

Repent. Turn unto the Creator/Redeemer Jesus Christ, Lord of the 7th Day Sabbath, even as it is written, Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11; Revelation 14:6-7, etc.

The message then was real, do not reject this last message, for God again sent a messenger, God again raised up the last Elijah's message, for the final "Flood
" is almost upon this world... and how sad, that many will not know that then, once the "door" is closed and those which are in the "Ark" are "sealed" by God, the "rain" comes and will take them all away who refused Jesus, and His Commandments, and knew not the time of their visitation, they will exclaim "peace, peace...", but "sudden destruction" cometh.

...and all the "...ologies" and even that which claims to be "science", but is "falsely so-called", will find excuses and time for just a little more sin, a little more selfishness.

For Roman Catholics and others [Thomas' followers, Philosophers, etc]... Creation, the 7th Day, Flood and Final Fiery end...


Even the [Roman Catholic] Thomas Aquinas [Doctor Angelicus] believed in a literal six day creation with God resting the seventh day...


Thomas Aquinas cit. SUMMA THEOLOGICA: The nature and extent of sacred doctrine (Prima Pars, Q. 1)

"...for all the senses are founded on one — the literal — from which alone can any argument be drawn..."

"...nothing necessary to faith is contained under the spiritual sense which is not elsewhere put forward by the Scripture in its literal sense. ..."


In case any have not read Hebrews 11:3, Creation is necessary to faith, even as it is found in the Ten Commandments, it deals with Faith and Morals.

There can be no such thing as a 'mystical' or any other [i'll add allegorical, since his 'mystical' is something else entirely, for another forum] without there first being the literal.

The literal is the root.

Genesis is the first book! Genesis is that which all the other books are based! Every single doctrine may be found in its pages, from state of the dead, to sanctuary, diet, to destruction of the wicked, salvation, sin, law, grace, Jesus, etc.

Here is what Thomas Aquinas wrote about Creation in the days, which btw he believed in ex-nihilo, and also consider the same in the light of the Law of God, dealing with Creation and His authority and the changing of it, in his Summa Theologica:

[He begins by rebutting and refuting Augustine] "...by the "evening" and the "morning" ... But, according to Basil (Hom. ii in Hexaem.), the entire period takes its name, as is customary, from its more important part, the day. And instance of this is found in the words of Jacob, "The days of my pilgrimage," where night is not mentioned at all. But the evening and the morning are mentioned as being the ends of the day, since day begins with morning and ends with evening, or because evening denotes the beginning of night, and morning the beginning of day. It seems fitting, also, that where the first distinction of creatures is described, divisions of time should be denoted only by what marks their beginning. And the reason for mentioning the evening first is that as the evening ends the day, which begins with the light, the termination of the light at evening precedes the termination of the darkness, which ends with the morning. But Chrysostom's explanation is that thereby it is intended to show that the natural day does not end with the evening, but with the morning (Hom. v in Gen.). ...

Reply to Objection 7. The words "one day" are used when day is first instituted, to denote that one day is made up of twenty-four hours. Hence, by mentioning "one," the measure of a natural day is fixed. Another reason may be to signify that a day is completed by the return of the sun to the point from which it commenced its course. And yet another, because at the completion of a week of seven days, the first day returns..." - Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Question 74, Article 3, Reply to Objection 6 and 7 [The Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas

MARIÆ IMMACULATÆ - SEDI SAPIENTIÆ] - SUMMA THEOLOGICA: All the seven days in common (Prima Pars, Q. 74)

Let us see what Thomas Aquinas [Summa Theologica] himself says how it came to be that the Roman Catholic church observes the 'first [day] of the week'; aka, Sunday, and He says that it was not God - not Jesus, not even the Apostles that changed the day from the 7th Day to that of the first, but He clearly says it was "...by the institution of the Church and the custom of Christian people..." and he also says that the Sabbath Commandment of the Decalogue is that which "...describes the exterior worship of God as the sign of a universal boon that concerns all." and the "...sign of this we are commanded to keep holy seventh day..." and "the reason for it is given: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth . . . and rested on the seventh day."".

So even Thomas Aquinas understood that the 7th Day Sabbath Commandment points out the Creator of All and was given for All [not just Jew; for he says, "a universal boon"], and directly cited Exodus 20:11:

"
I answer that, ...Now the precepts of the decalogue are, so to speak, first and common principles of the Law, and consequently the third precept of the decalogue describes the exterior worship of God as the sign of a universal boon that concerns all. This universal boonwas the work of the Creation of the world, from which work God is stated to have rested on the seventh day: and sign of this we are commanded to keep holy seventh day--that is, to set it aside as a day to be given to God. Hence after the precept about the hallowing of the Sabbath the reason for it is given: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth . . . and rested on the seventh day." ..."

"
...Reply to Objection 4. In the New Law the observance of the Lord's day took the placeof the observance of the Sabbath, not by virtue of the precept but by the institution of the Churchand the custom of Christian people...." [Roman Catholic Online Summa Theologica; Thomas Aquinas; "Second Part of the Second Part "; "Question 122. The precepts of justice"; "Article 4. Whether the third precept of the decalogue, concerning the hallowing of the Sabbath, is fittingly expressed?"'

MARIÆ IMMACULATÆ - SEDI SAPIENTIÆ] - SUMMA THEOLOGICA: The precepts of justice (Secunda Secundae Partis, Q. 122)



Thomas Aquinas on the Globality of the Fire to consume all things, likened unto the Globality of the Flood [sections throughout Summa Thelogica, Suppliment, Question 74]...

"Article 3. Whether the fire whereby the world will be cleansed will be of the same species with elemental fire? ... it is declared that the fire of the judgment will rise as high as the waters of the deluge; ... following Augustine, say that "just as the deluge resulted from an outpouring of the waters of the world, so the fashion of this world will perish by a burning of worldly flames" (De Civ. Dei. xx, 16). ... by the Divine power ... the fire that will burn the surface of this world will result. ..."

"...Further, a gloss on 2 Thessalonians 1:8, "In a flame of fire giving vengeance," says: "There will be in the world a fire that shall precede Him, and shall rise in the air to the same height as did the waters of the deluge." But the waters of the deluge did not rise to the height of the higher heavens but only 15 cubits higher than the mountain summits (Genesis 7:20). Therefore the higher heavens will not be cleansed by that fire. ..."

"...Reply to Objection 2. Peter explains himself to which heavens he refers. For before the words quoted, he had said (2 Peter 3:5-7): "The heavens . . . first, and the earth . . . through water . . . perished . . . which . . . now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire unto the day of judgment." Therefore the heavens to be cleansed are those which before were cleansed by the waters of the deluge, namely the aerial heavens. ..."

"...Further, this final cleansing that will be effected by fire will correspond to the first cleansing which was effected by water...."

"...the authority of Scripture, because it is written (2 Peter 3:7) that those heavens are "kept in store unto fire," which were cleansed by water; and Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xx, 18) that "the same world which perished in the deluge is reserved unto fire."..." [The Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas

But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Luke 17:26


...just as then the Holy Spirit was pleading with men, even through men, so too it is today, and just as then it shall not be forever, for there is a cut off coming...

"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man..." [Genesis 6:3]

... for The Holy Spirit is already slowly withdrawing from this earth and ceasing from striving with its hardened and rebellious hearts, and therefore more and more disasters and calamities will come from satan, the protection of God removed, a nation in apostacy will reap national ruins, and the whole world thrown into such a scene as never before witnessed; and satan no longer restricted and in greater and greater intensity as he marshalls his forces against those who refuse him and stand for God, and satan will take control of all not under the Holy Spirit of God...

As of right now the "four" [universal] Angels [all the angels of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit; Revelation 1] are already having begun to release...

"...I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree." [Revelation 7:1]

And all the forces of satan, the other "four" angels, are already having begun to be let loose from under this restriction, though not yet in full control of the finally impenitent, and spiritual Babylon the Great will overflow her banks... to wreak havoc on all which have rejected the grace, love, mercy and calling of God unto repentance...

"...to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea," [Revelation 7:4]

"...to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates." [Revelation 9:14]

"And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year..."; the hour in the day, the day in the month, the month in the year - the Day of Atonement it already begun... [1844; the end of the 2,300 day/years of Daniel]...

MARIÆ IMMACULATÆ - SEDI SAPIENTIÆ] - SUMMA THEOLOGICA: The fire of the final conflagration (Supplementum, Q. 74)

There is no Catholic doctrine which says that we should not observe the Sabbath. There is no Catholic doctrine which says that we should not believe what Genesis tells us. But the Bible does not say that Sunday was the first day and Saturday was the seventh day. But let's just say that Saturday is the Sabbath. Catholics and most Christians worship Christ on the eighth day. Christ fulfills the OT.
To be honest, lots of Catholics worship God every day.

What I believe is that science does not (can not) contradict Genesis, and Genesis does not (can not) contradict science. Anything that science says that contradicts Genesis is a false path.
