“Thus you shall say to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.” – Jeremiah 10:11 “Heaven and earth shall pass away; but My words shall never pass away” – Jesus Arnobius and all the early church fathers were indeed wise to have trusted Christ over the gods of Rome.

Arnobius makes a pretty cool point below but first the only Jesus that has been spreading and enduring across this planet for the last two thousand years (the Jesus of the Bible): “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I TESTIFY OF IT, that the works thereof are evil.” John 7:7 “Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.” John 2:24–25 “Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, YE WOULD LOVE ME: for I proceeded … Continue reading Are men really good?
Does it not occur to you to reflect and to examine in whose domain you live? on whose property you are? whose is that earth which you till?11 whose is that air which you inhale, and return again in breathing? whose fountains do you abundantly enjoy? whose water? who has regulated the blasts of the wind? who has contrived the watery clouds? who has discriminated the productive powers of seeds by special characteristics?

Methodius of Olympus. 1886. “Fragments.” In Fathers of the Third Century: Gregory Thaumaturgus, Dionysius the Great, Julius Africanus, Anatolius and Minor Writers, Methodius, Arnobius, edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A.

“Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever; Let Yahweh be glad in His works; He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. Let my musing be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in Yahweh.” Psalm 104:31–34 We love Hom because He first loved us! While we were yet sinners He died for us! “As for me, I shall be glad in Yahweh” and may His glory endure forever! And … Continue reading Not decided by the stars
