simple truth, martyr, disciple of Yahshua
Sure enough. That was taught in grade schools and high schools (and colleges?) ....
Nothing mysterious about that though, is there ?

Sure enough. That was taught in grade schools and high schools (and colleges?) ....Just out of curiosity, I’d like to ask:
Do any of you folks recall studying about Australia and it being chosen as a penal colony, in part because of its isolation?
The enemy , which includes all society, changes things daily to drag as many as possible to destruction.
Words, ideas, products..... all that is 'good' is gradually taken away. The truth is covered up in every field in society (religion, medical, scientific, health, government, sales, business, corporations, farms, farming, etc etc etc)....
Watching the changes over the decades is with grief and sorrow, being sorely vexed just as LOT was in sodom and gomorrah vexed for all the sinfulness / wickednesses practiced daily there.
Who perceives the truth? Whoever the Creator in heaven reveals it to, that's who. (daily)
??? A particular dog my uncle brought over to my grandma's house when I was two or three years old seemed very big and tall to me. Decades later I still thought that it was the size of a big great dane..... then I saw pictures of it - and it was perhaps half the size ....**********
Australia is no longer the isolated body that I learned about in 6th grade. Now, it’s tucked up close to Papua New Guinea. Not a good choice for an isolated penal colony.
I thought at first that the maps had been updated. But even on old maps in old books (1930’s - 1940’s encyclopedias), it is shown in this very odd location.
And it seems to have become much, much larger. I always wondered why it was called a continent, instead of an island.
The Australia I learned about was smaller, and much more isolated.
To my eye, the globe appears to have shrunken, with the Southern Hemisphere rotating/twisting eastward. This shows up (shockingly, to my eye) most clearly when I look at a map of North and South America.
As we grow in Christ and grace, and I admit grow older, we come to realize what scripture has said all along. "Store up your treasures in heaven", "we live in this world but are not a part of it" ( the world system in a spiritual sense). Our eternal destiny is with Him. Some run right overboard with this and lose sight of reality all together. We should enjoy God's creation and give the glory to Him. We should enjoy life with a free heart in Christ and give the glory to him.. Part of the message too, is to love. Course we don't know true love till we experience agape love, to experience that we first must be His.Serious question: if someone's world view suddenly changed so dramatically, why would said person want to continue living?
I mean, even if they were once loved and successful, they would find themselves on the outskirts. They certainly could no longer fit in. The response on this thread alone indicates this truth.
So what would be the point, then? And where is God in that equation?*

That's my short reply, probably soon to be picked to death lol !!

The disciples lives were totally changed when they turned to follow Jesus and to be His disciples.
Same today. Life is turned upside down , suddenly and delightfully - FREE FROM the old sinful direction and nature (still a DAILY BATTLE) ....
WHY CONTINUE LIVING !? IN JESUS _ LIFE LIFE LIFE !!! For His Sake !
See WHY the disciples in ACTS continued LIVING daily full of JOY, PEACE and RIGHTEOUSNESS.... (and in the other Epistles where described)....
Where is God (not in an equation, no)..... ?
It is only by the Father's Doing, Trusting Him to accomplish salvation, that anyone is saved from this evil wicked generation !
It really is not just a thought experiment , it happens daily in real life.Serious question: if someone's world view suddenly changed so dramatically, why would said person want to continue living?
Whatever it is, we didn’t “make it up”.
We are experiencing something very strange.
The fact that you are not having the same experience does not give you license to insinuate that we are crazy, or stupid, or whatever term you might use to denigrate and insult us.
We are your brothers and sisters.
About 150 kilometers. Pretty fair swim, reckon? But then again, most of the penal colonies were on the other side of the continent, weren't they? Or over in Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land). Just stroll across a few thousand klicks of desert and then a refreshing 150 kilo swim. No worries. Sounds like you didn't really understand it all very well then you were little.Australia is no longer the isolated body that I learned about in 6th grade.

I found this page to be an interesting read fwiw ( should be a link I hope):
