saint peter is the apostle who holds the key to heaven, letting people in. Peter Lukas’ connection to the Lonely is in the way that he acts as a gate, and holds a boatswains whistle to summon the Lonely.

he can send people in however when he dies it doesn’t collapse or stop existing, it’s not exclusively his.

The Lonely isn’t antagonistic. It’s outright soft. Even if Peter is casting people in here they’re dying peaceful deaths. it’s the closest thing they’d see to an afterlife.

Out of context this bit from Boatswains Call is just an offhand mention about how Carlita Sloane was feeling

You’d think it’s just a weird offhand thing to add to make the atmosphere spookier (and it is, somewhat. especially the mention of the tomb) but it’s early confirmation that Yes. Peter Lukas is slightly inspired by Saint Peter (even ignoring the fact that the guy was a fisherman and Peter/the Lonely is often connected with the ocean and the sea)

which leads me to how this is also connected to Simon Fairchild

Saint Peter was actually born with the name Simeon (later greekified into Simon) (and later sometimes called the compound name Simeon Peter) and given that both Simon Fairchild and Peter Lukas can directly send victims into the “realms” of their respective entities, jonny clearly just took one look at Saint Peter and split the guy in half (with the actual item resembling a key remaining with Peter)

sometimes its so crazy to realize that there's actually a lot of things i like. that i thought i didn't like because i was a depressed teenager. i love being outside! i love swimming! i love talking to people! even strangers sometimes! i love getting dressed in fun outfits and doing makeup! i love reading and going to art museums! i just thought i was doomed forever to a life of complete and total apathy and void! and now look at me! still a little shaky but i'm doing it!!!!!

[thelucidduchess]

Alright I have a lot of ocs for Percy Jackson, but I don’t have a lot of powers for them. Like, the most interesting power I have rn is an Apollo kid who can inflict plague and sickness on other people. All my other characters? Lame! So, give me suggestions on powers for any cabin that aren’t just “Oh, a son of Poseidon controls water”.

Thanks :)

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

ever since I was little I never gave a fuck if anyone else liked me, I just wanted to like me and eventually I did for a little while but then I forgot how

Cancelled Missions: NASA's October 1977 Space Shuttle Flight Itinerary

"Soon after President Richard Nixon gave his blessing to the Space Shuttle Program on January 5, 1972, NASA scheduled its first orbital flight for 1977, then for March 1978. By early 1975, the date had slipped to March 1979. Funding shortfalls were to blame, as were the daunting engineering challenges of developing the world's first reusable orbital spaceship based on 1970s technology. The schedule slip was actually worse than NASA let on: as early as January 32, 1975, an internal NASA document (marked 'sensitive') gave a '90% probability date' for the first Shuttle launch of December 1979.

In October 1977, Chester Lee, director of Space Transportation System (STS) Operations at NASA Headquarters, distributed the first edition of the STS Flight Assignment Baseline, a launch schedule and payload manifest for the first 16 operational Shuttle missions. The document was in keeping with NASA's stated philosophy that reusable Shuttle Orbiters would fly on-time and often, like a fleet of cargo airplanes. The STS Utilization and Operations Office at NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston had prepared the document, which was meant to be revised quarterly as new customers chose the Space Shuttle as their cheap and reliable ride to space.

The JSC planners assumed that six Orbital Flight Test (OFT) missions would precede the first operational Shuttle flight. The OFT flights would see two-man crews (Commander and Pilot) put Orbiter Vehicle 102 (OV-102) through its paces in low-Earth orbit. The planners did not include the OFT schedule in their document, but the May 30, 1980 launch date for their first operational Shuttle mission suggests that they based their flight schedule on the March 1979 first OFT launch date.

Thirteen of the 16 operational flights would use OV-102 and three would use OV-101. NASA would christen OV-102 Columbia in February 1979, shortly before it rolled out of the Rockwell International plant in Palmdale, California.

As for OV-101, its name was changed from Constitution to Enterprise in mid-1976 at the insistence of Star Trek fans. Enterprise flew in Approach and Landing Test (ALT) flights at Edwards Air Force Base in California beginning on February 15, 1977. ALT flights, which saw the Orbiter carried by and dropped from a modified 747, ended soon after the NASA JSC planners released their document.

The first operational Space Shuttle mission, Flight 7 (May 30 - June 3, 1980), would see Columbia climb to a 225-nautical-mile (n-mi) orbit inclined 28.5° relative to Earth's equator (unless otherwise stated, all orbits are inclined at 28.5°, the latitude of Kennedy Space Center in Florida). The delta-winged Orbiter would carry a three-person crew in its two-deck crew compartment and the bus-sized Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) in its 15-foot-wide, 60-foot-long payload bay.

Columbia would also carry a 'payload of opportunity' - that is, an unspecified payload. The presence of a payload of opportunity meant that the flight had available excess payload weight capacity. Payload mass up would total 27,925 pounds. Payload mass down after the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm hoisted LDEF out of Columbia's payload bay and released it into orbit would total 9080 pounds.

A page from the STS Flight Assignment Baseline document of October 1977 shows payloads and other features of the first five operational Space Shuttle missions plus Flight 12/Flight 12 Alternate

During Flight 8 (July 1-3, 1980), Columbia would orbit 160 n mi above the Earth. Three astronauts would release two satellites and their solid-propellant rocket stages: Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-A (TDRS-A) with a two-stage Interim Upper Stage (IUS) and the Satellite Business Systems-A (SBS-A) commercial communications satellite on a Spinning Solid Upper Stage-Delta-class (SSUS-D).

Prior to release, the crew would spin the SBS-A satellite about its long axis on a turntable to create gyroscopic stability and raise TDRS-A on a tilt-table. After release, their respective solid-propellant stages would propel them to their assigned slots in geostationary orbit (GEO), 19,323 n mi above the equator. Payload mass up would total 51,243 pounds; mass down, 8912 pounds, most of which would comprise reusable restraint and deployment hardware for the satellites.

The TDRS system, which would include three operational satellites and an orbiting spare, was meant to trim costs and improve communications coverage by replacing most of the ground-based Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN). Previous U.S. piloted missions had relied on MSFN ground stations to relay communications to and from the Mission Control Center (MCC) in Houston. Because spacecraft in low-Earth orbit could remain in range of a given ground station for only a few minutes at a time, astronauts were frequently out of contact with the MCC.

On Flight 9 (August 1-6, 1980), Columbia would climb to a 160-n-mi orbit. Three astronauts would deploy GOES-D, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather satellite, and Anik-C/1, a Canadian communications satellite. Before release, the crew would raise the NOAA satellite and its SSUS-Atlas-class (SSUS-A) rocket stage on the tilt-table and spin up the Anik-C/1-SSUS-D combination on the turntable. In addition to the two named satellites, NASA JSC planners reckoned that Columbia could carry a 14,000-pound payload of opportunity. Payload mass up would total 36,017 pounds; mass down, 21,116 pounds.

Following Flight 9, NASA would withdraw Columbia from service for 12 weeks to permit conversion from OFT configuration to operational configuration. The JSC planners explained that the conversion would be deferred until after Flight 9 to ensure an on-time first operational flight and to save time by combining it with Columbia's preparations for the first Spacelab mission on Flight 11. The switch from OFT to operational configuration would entail removal of Development Flight Instrumentation (sensors for monitoring Orbiter systems and performance); replacement of Commander and Pilot ejection seats on the crew compartment upper deck (the flight deck) with fixed seats; power system upgrades; and installation of an airlock on the crew compartment lower deck (the mid-deck).

Flight 10 (November 14-16, 1980) would be a near-copy of Flight 8. A three-person Columbia crew would deploy TDRS-B/IUS and SBS-B/SSUS-D into a 160-n-mi-high orbit. The rocket stages would then boost the satellites to GEO. Cargo mass up would total 53,744 pounds; mass down, 11,443 pounds.

Flight 11 (December 18-25, 1980) would see the orbital debut of Spacelab. Columbia would orbit Earth 160 n mi high at 57° of inclination. NASA and the multinational European Space Research Organization (ESRO) agreed in August 1973 that Europe should develop and manufacture Spacelab pressurized modules and unpressurized pallets for use in the Space Shuttle Program. Initially dubbed the 'sortie lab,' Spacelab would operate only in the Orbiter payload bay; it was not intended as an independent space station, though many hoped that it would help to demonstrate that an Earth-orbiting station could be useful.

ESRO merged with the European Launcher Development Organization in 1975 to form the European Space Agency (ESA). Columbia's five-person crew for Flight 11 would probably include scientists and at least one astronaut from an ESA member country.

Flight 12 (January 30 - February 1, 1981), a near-copy of Flights 8 and 10, would see Columbia's three-person crew deploy TDRS-C/IUS and Anik-C/2/SSUS-D into 160-n-mi-high orbit. Payload mass up would total 53,744 pounds; mass down, 11,443 pounds.

JSC planners inserted an optional 'Flight 12 Alternate' (January 30 - February 4, 1981) into their schedule which, if flown, would replace Flight 12. Columbia would orbit 160 n mi above the Earth. Its three-person crew would deploy Anik-C/2 on a SSUS-D stage. The mission's main purpose, however, would be to create a backup launch opportunity for an Intelsat V-class satellite already scheduled for launch on a U.S. Atlas-Centaur or European Ariane I rocket. An SSUS-A stage would boost the Intelsat V from Shuttle orbit to GEO.

NASA JSC assumed that, besides the satellites, stages, and their support hardware, Columbia would for Flight 12 Alternate tote an attached payload of opportunity that would need to operate in space for five days to provide useful data (hence the mission's planned duration). Payload mass up would total 37,067 pounds; mass down, 17,347 pounds.

Space Shuttle Flights 13 through 18 would include the first orbital mission of the OV-101 Enterprise (Flight 17), during which astronauts would retrieve the LDEF payload deployed during Flight 7.

Flight 13 (March 3-8, 1981) would see three astronauts on board Columbia release NOAA's GOES-E satellite attached to an SSUS-D stage into a 160-n-mi-high orbit. OV-102 would have room for two payloads of opportunity: one attached at the front of the payload bay and one deployed from a turntable aft of the GOES-E/SSUS-D combination. Payload mass up would total 38,549 pounds; mass down, 23,647 pounds.

Flight 14 would last 12 days, making it the longest described in the STS Flight Assignment Baseline document. Scheduled for launch on April 7, 1981, it would carry a 'train' of four unpressurized Spacelab experiment pallets and an 'Igloo,' a small pressurized compartment for pallet support equipment. The Igloo, though pressurized, would not be accessible to the five-person crew. OV-102 would orbit 225 n mi high at an inclination of 57°. Mass up would total 31,833 pounds; mass down, 28,450 pounds.

Flight 15 (May 13-15, 1981) would be a near-copy of Flights 8, 10, and 12. OV-102 would transport to orbit a payload totaling 53,744 pounds; payload mass down would total 11,443 pounds. The JSC planners noted the possibility that none of the potential payloads for Flight 15 — TDRS-D and SBS-C or Anik-C/3 — would need to be launched as early as May 1981. TDRS-D was meant as an orbiting spare; if the first three TDRS operated as planned, its launch could be postponed. Likewise, SBS-C and Anik-C/3 were each a backup for the previously launched satellites in their series.

Flight 16 (June 16-23, 1981) would be a five-person Spacelab pressurized module flight aboard OV-102 in 160-n-mi-high orbit. Payloads of opportunity totaling about 18,000 pounds might accompany the Spacelab module; for planning purposes, a satellite and SSUS-D on a turntable behind the module was assumed. Payload mass up would total 35,676 pounds; mass down, 27,995 pounds.

Flight 17, scheduled for July 16-20, 1981, would see the space debut of Enterprise and the retrieval of the LDEF released during Flight 7. OV-101 would climb to a roughly 200-n-mi-high orbit (LDEF's altitude after 13.5 months of orbital decay would determine the mission's precise altitude).

Before rendezvous with LDEF, Flight 17's three-man crew would release an Intelsat V/SSUS-A and a satellite payload of opportunity. After the satellites were sent on their way, the astronauts would pilot Enterprise to a rendezvous with LDEF, snare it with the RMS, and secure it in the payload bay. Mass up would total 26,564 pounds; mass down, 26,369 pounds.

For Flight 18 (July 29-August 5, 1981), Columbia would carry to a 160-n-mi-high orbit a Spacelab pallet dedicated to materials processing in the vacuum and microgravity of space. The three-person flight might also include the first acknowledged Department of Defense (DOD) payload of the Space Shuttle Program, a U.S. Air Force pallet designated STP-P80-1. JSC called the payload 'Planned' rather than 'Firm' and noted somewhat cryptically that it was the Teal Ruby experiment 'accommodated from OFT [Orbital Flight Test].'

The presence of the Earth-directed Teal Ruby sensor payload would account for Flight 18's planned 57° orbital inclination, which would take it over most of Earth's densely populated areas. Payload mass up might total 32,548 pounds; mass down, 23,827 pounds.

Space Shuttle Flights 20 through 23 would include the first mission to make use of an OMS kit to increase its orbital altitude (Flight 21), the first European Space Agency-sponsored Spacelab mission (Flight 22), and the launch of the Jupiter Orbiter and Probe spacecraft (Flight 23)

Flight 19 (September 2-9, 1981) would see five Spacelab experiment pallets fill Columbia's payload bay. Five astronauts would operate the experiments, which would emphasize physics and astronomy. The Orbiter would circle Earth in a 216-n-mi-high orbit. Payload mass up would total 29,214 pounds; mass down, 27,522 pounds.

Flight 20 (September 30-October 6, 1981), the second Enterprise mission, would see five astronauts conduct life science and astronomy experiments in a 216-n-mi-high orbit using a Spacelab pressurized module and an unpressurized pallet. JSC planners acknowledged that the mission's down payload mass (34,248 pounds) might be 'excessive,' but noted that their estimate was 'based on preliminary payload data.' Mass up would total 37,065 pounds.

On Flight 21, scheduled for launch on October 14, 1981, Columbia would carry the first Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) Kit at the aft end of its payload bay. The OMS Kit would carry enough supplemental propellants for the Orbiter's twin rear-mounted OMS engines to perform a velocity change of 500 feet per second. This would enable OV-102 to rendezvous with and retrieve the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite in a 300-n-mi-high orbit.

Three astronauts would fly the five-day mission, which would attain the highest orbital altitude of any flight in the STS Flight Assignment Baseline document. JSC planners noted that the Multi-mission Modular Spacecraft (MMS) support hardware meant to carry SMM back to Earth could also transport an MMS-type satellite into orbit. Payload mass up would total 37,145 pounds; mass down, 23,433 pounds.

On Flight 22 (November 25 - December 2, 1981), Enterprise might carry an ESA-sponsored Spacelab mission with a five-person crew, a pressurized lab module, and a pallet to a 155-to-177-n-mi orbit inclined at 57°. Payload mass up might total 34,031 pounds; mass down, 32,339 pounds.

During Flight 23 (January 5-6, 1982), the last described in the STS Flight Assignment Baseline document, three astronauts would deploy into a 150-to-160-n-mi-high orbit the Jupiter Orbiter and Probe (JOP) spacecraft on a stack of three IUSs. President Jimmy Carter had requested new-start funds for JOP in his Fiscal Year 1978 NASA budget, which had taken effect on October 1, 1977. Because JOP was so new when they prepared their document, JSC planners declined to estimate up/down payload masses.

Flight 23 formed an anchor point for the Shuttle schedule because JOP had a launch window dictated by the movements of the planets. If the automated explorer did not leave for Jupiter between January 2 and 12, 1982, it would mean a 13-month delay while Earth and Jupiter moved into position for another launch attempt.

Almost nothing in the October 1977 STS Flight Assignment Baseline document occurred as planned. It was not even updated quarterly; no update had been issued as of mid-November 1978, by which time the target launch dates for the first Space Shuttle orbital mission and the first operational Shuttle flight had slipped officially to September 28, 1979 and February 27, 1981, respectively.

The Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia lifts off at the start of STS-1.

The first Shuttle flight, designated STS-1, did not in fact lift off until April 12, 1981. As in the STS Flight Assignment Baseline document, OV-102 Columbia performed the OFT missions; OFT concluded, however, after only four flights. After the seven-day STS-4 mission (June 27 - July 4, 1982), President Ronald Reagan declared the Shuttle operational.

The first operational flight, also using Columbia, was STS-5 (November 11-16, 1982). The mission launched SBS-3 and Anik-C/3; because of Shuttle delays, the other SBS and Anik-C satellites planned for Shuttle launch had already reached space atop expendable rockets.

To the chagrin of many Star Trek fans, Enterprise never reached space. NASA decided that it would be less costly to convert Structural Test Article-099 into a flight-worthy Orbiter than to refit Enterprise for spaceflight after the ALT series. OV-099, christened Challenger, first reached space on mission STS-6 (April 4-9, 1983), which saw deployment of the first TDRS satellite.

NASA put OV-101 Enterprise to work in a variety of tests and rehearsals (such as the 'fit check' shown in the image above), but did not convert it into a spaceflight-worthy Orbiter.

The voluminous Spacelab pressurized module first reached orbit on board Columbia on mission STS-9 (November 28- December 8,1983). The 10-day Spacelab 1 mission included ESA researcher Ulf Merbold and NASA scientist-astronauts Owen Garriott and Robert Parker. Garriott, selected to be an astronaut in 1965, had flown for 59 days on board the Skylab space station in 1973. Parker had been selected in 1967, but STS-9 was his first spaceflight.

The 21,500-pound LDEF reached Earth orbit on board Challenger on STS-41C, the 11th Space Shuttle mission (April 6-13, 1984). During the same mission, astronauts captured, repaired, and released the SMM satellite, which had reached orbit on 14 February 1980 and malfunctioned in January 1981. Challenger reached SMM without an OMS kit; in fact, no OMS kit ever reached space.

STS Flight Assignment Baseline document assumed that 22 Shuttle flights (six OFT and 16 operational) would occur before January 1982. In fact, the 22nd Shuttle flight did not begin until October 1985, when Challenger carried eight astronauts and the West German Spacelab D1 into space (STS-61A, October 30 - November 6, 1985). Three months later (28 January 1986), Challenger was destroyed at the start of STS-51L, the Shuttle Program's 25th mission.

In addition to seven astronauts — NASA's first in-flight fatalities — Challenger took with it TDRS-B, NASA's second TDRS satellite. The Shuttle would not fly again until September 1988 (STS-26, September 29 - October 3, 1988). On that mission, OV-103 Discovery deployed TDRS-C. The TDRS system would not include the three satellites necessary for global coverage until TDRS-D reached orbit on board Discovery on mission STS-29 (13-18 March 1989).

Following the Challenger accident, NASA abandoned — though not without some resistance — the pretense that it operated a fleet of cargo planes. The space agency had at one time aimed for 60 Shuttle flights per year; between 1988 and 2003, the Shuttle Program managed about six per year. The most flights the Shuttle fleet accomplished in a year was nine in 1985.

Shuttle delays meant that JOP, renamed Galileo, missed its early January 1982 launch window. It was eventually rescheduled for May 1986, but the Challenger accident intervened. Galileo finally left Earth orbit on 18 October 1989 following deployment from OV-104 Atlantis during STS-34 (October 18-23, 1989).

Between the time JOP/Galileo received its first funding and the Challenger explosion, NASA, the White House, and Congress had sparred over how the Jupiter spacecraft would depart Earth orbit. Eventually, they settled on the powerful liquid-propellant Centaur-G' rocket stage.

Citing new concern for safety following Challenger, NASA canceled Centaur G'. Galileo had to rely on the less-powerful IUS, which meant that it could not travel directly to Jupiter; it had instead to perform gravity-assist flybys of Venus and Earth to reach its exploration target. Galileo did not reach the Jupiter system until December 1995.

LDEF had been scheduled for retrieval in March 1985, less than a year after deployment, but flight delays and the Challenger accident postponed its return to Earth by nearly six years. On mission STS-32 (January 9-20, 1990), astronauts on board Columbia retrieved LDEF, the orbit of which had decayed to 178 n mi. LDEF remains the largest object ever retrieved in space and returned to Earth.

During reentry at the end of mission STS-107 (16 January-1 February 2003), Columbia broke apart over northeast Texas, killing its international crew of seven astronauts. This precipitated cancellation of the Space Shuttle Program by President George W. Bush, who announced his decision on 14 January 2004.

The end of the Space Shuttle Program was originally scheduled for 2010, immediately following the planned completion of the International Space Station. In the event, STS-135, the final Space Shuttle mission, took place four years ago (July 2011), three months after the 30th anniversary of STS-1. The Orbiter Atlantis lifted off on 8 July with a four-person crew — the smallest since STS-6. It docked with the International Space Station to deliver supplies and spares and landed in Florida 13 days later."

[adventism-atheism-orthodoxy-me]

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...

I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.

This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.

For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"

You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.

Yet I have never been the only one asking this.

Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.

Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.

None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.

What was understood was life and death.

And this is where I found my peace.

Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!

But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).

Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.

However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.

The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).

Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.

I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?

I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).

In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.

~ Scriptures about forgiveness ~

Matthew 6:15 "But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Colossians 3:13 "Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."

Daniel 9:9 "To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him."

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16

“In all circumstances part 1: trust in God's character” By Antique Candle Co.:

“Why is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...” —Proverbs 3:5

Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.

So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.

GOD IS UNCHANGING:

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” —James 1:17

GOD IS FAITHFUL:

“...if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” —2 Timothy 2:13

“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5

GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:

“He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” —Psalm 94:9

GOD IS SOVEREIGN:

“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” —Romans 11:36

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.” —Ephesians 1:7-8

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” —Matthew 24:14

Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.”

1：1]神が天と地を創造された当初、

[1：2]地は無形の空虚であり、暗闇が深層の顔を覆っていたのに対し、神からの風が水面に吹き荒れた。

[1：3]それから神は「光あれ」と言われました。そして光がありました。

[1：4]そして神は光が良かったのを見ました。そして神は光と闇を分けました。

[1：5]神は光の日と呼ばれ、闇は夜と呼ばれました。そして、夕方があり、朝、最初の日がありました。

[1：6]そして神は言われた、「水の中にドームを作り、水と水を分けさせなさい」。

[1：7]それで神はドームを作り、ドームの下にある水とドームの上にある水を分けました。そして、そうでした。

[1：8]神はドームスカイと呼ばれました。そして夕方があり、二日目は朝でした。

[1：9]そして神は言われた、「空の下の水が一つの場所に集められ、乾いた地が現われるように」。そして、そうでした。

[1:10]神は乾燥した土地を地球と呼び、集められた水を海と呼びました。そして、神はそれが良いことを見ました。

[1:11]神は言われた、「地は草を生みなさい。種を産む植物、種を含む実を結ぶ地上のあらゆる種類の果樹」。そして、そうでした。

[1:12]地球は植物を生み出しました。植物はあらゆる種類の種を生み出し、あらゆる種類の木は種を含む実を結んでいます。そして、神はそれが良いことを見ました。

[1:13]そして夕方があり、三日目は朝でした。

[1:14]そして神は言った、「空のドームに昼と夜を分ける明かりを置いて、しるしと季節と日と年とにさせなさい。

[1:15]そして、それらを空のドームの光にして、地球に光を放ちましょう。」

[1:16]神は二つの大きな光を造りました。昼を支配する大きな光と夜を支配する小さな光、そして星です。

[1:17]神は彼らを空のドームに置き、地球に光を与えた。

[1:18]昼と夜を支配し、暗闇から光を分離します。そして、神はそれが良いことを見ました。

[1:19]そして夕方があり、四日目の朝があった。

[1:20]そして神は言った、「水が生き物の群れを生みだし、鳥が空のドームを越えて地球上を飛ぶようにしましょう」。

[1:21]それで神は偉大な海の怪物と、水が群がるあらゆる種類のあらゆる生き物、そしてあらゆる種類の翼のある鳥を創造されました。そして、神はそれが良いことを見ました。

[1:22]神は彼らに祝福を与えて、「実り豊かになり、海の水を増やし、水を満たし、鳥を地上で育てなさい」と言われた。

[1:23]そして夕方があり、五日目に朝があった。

[1:24]そして神は言った、「地はあらゆる種類の生き物を生むようにしよう。牛と忍び寄る物、あらゆる種類の地の野生動物。」そして、そうでした。

[1:25]神はあらゆる種類の地球の野生動物、あらゆる種類の牛、あらゆる種類の地面に忍び寄るすべてのものを造られました。そして、神はそれが良いことを見ました。

[1:26]それから神は言った、「私たちの似姿に従って、私たちの姿に人類を作りましょう。海の魚、空の鳥、牛、そしてその上に彼らを支配させましょう。地球のすべての野生動物、そして地球に忍び寄るあらゆる忍び寄るものの上に。」

[1:27]それで神は人類を彼のイメージで、神のイメージで創造した。男性と女性が作成しました。

[1:28]神は彼らを祝福され、神は彼らに言われた、「実り豊かになり、地を満たし、地を征服し、海の魚と、空の鳥と、すべての生き物とを支配する。地球上を移動します。」

[1:29]神は言われた、「見よ、わたしはあなたに、すべての地の表面にある種を産むすべての植物、およびその実に種を含むすべての木をあなたに与えた。

[1:30]そして、地球のすべての獣、空のすべての鳥、そして地球上にcreepうすべてのもの、生命の息吹を持つすべてのものに、私はすべての緑の植物を食物に与えました。」そうだった。

[1:31]神は自分が作ったものすべてを見ました。実際、それはとても良かったです。そして夕方があり、6日目の朝がありました。

[2：1]こうして天と地は完成し、すべての群衆は完成した。

[2：2]そして、七日目に神は彼がした仕事を終え、七日目に彼がしたすべての仕事を休んだ。

[2：3]それで、神は七日目を祝福され、神を祝福しました。

[2：4]これらは、天と地が創造された時の世代です。主なる神が大地と天を造られた日に、

[2：5]畑の植物がまだ地上になく、畑の草がまだ芽を出していないとき-主なる神がそれを地上に降らせず、地上まで耕す者がいなかったから;

[2：6]しかし、小川が地球から上昇し、地面の表面全体に水をまく-

[2：7]それから主なる神は、地のちりから人を形成し、命の息を鼻孔に吸い込んだ。その男は生き物になりました。

[2：8]主なる神は東のエデンに庭を植えられた。そしてそこに彼は彼が形成した男を置きました。

[2：9]主なる神は、地上から、目にやさしく、食物に良いすべての木、庭の中にある命の木、善悪の知識の木を育てられた。

[2:10]エデンから川が流れ出て庭に水が行き、そこから川が分かれて4つの枝になります。

[2:11]最初の名前はピションです。それは金があるハビラの全地の周りを流れるものです。

[2:12]その土地の金は良い。 bdelliumとオニキスの石があります。

[2:13]第二の川の名前はギホンです。それはクッシュの全地を流れるものです。

[2:14]第三の川の名前は、アッシリアの東を流れるチグリスです。そして4番目の川はユーフラテス川です。

[2:15]主なる神はその人を取り、エデンの園に入れてそれを耕し、それを守った。

[2:16]そして神は主に命じられた、「あなたは庭のあらゆる木を自由に食べてもよい。

[2:17]しかし、善悪の知識の木からはあなたは食べてはならない。あなたがそれを食べる日には、あなたは死ぬであろう」。

[2:18]主なる神は言われた、「その人がひとりでいるのは良くない。わたしは彼を彼のパートナーとして助手とする」。

[編集] 2:19それで、主なる神は、地上から野のすべての動物と、空のすべての鳥とを形成し、それらを人のところに連れて行って、彼らが何と呼ぶか​​を見させた。そして、その男があらゆる生き物と呼ぶものは何でも、それはその名前でした。

[2:20]男はすべての牛、空中の鳥、野のすべての動物に名前をつけた。しかし、男性にとって、彼のパートナーとしてのヘルパーは見つかりませんでした。

[編集] 2:21それで、神、主は深い眠りを人に降らせ、彼は眠った。それから彼はrib骨の一つを取り、肉でその場所を閉じました。

[2:22]そして、神、主がその男から取ったrib骨は、彼が女にして、その男に連れて来た。

[2:23]それから男は言った。「これはついに私の骨の骨であり、私の肉の肉です。これは女性と呼ばれるでしょう。

[2:24]それで男は父と母を離れて妻にしがみつき、彼らは一つの肉になります。

[2:25]その男とその妻は両方とも裸で、恥ずかしくない。

[3：1]さて、蛇は、主なる神が造られた他のどんな野生動物よりもcraftであった。彼は女性に言った、「神は「庭のどの木からも食べてはならない」と言ったのですか？」

[3：2]女は蛇に言った、「庭の木々の実を食べてもいい。

[3：3]しかし、神は言われた、「あなたは庭の真ん中にある木の実を食べてはならない。また、それに触れてはならない。さもないと死ぬ。 '"

[3：4]しかし、蛇は女性に言った、「あなたは死なない。

[3：5]神はあなたがそれを食べると目が開かれ、善と悪を知って神のようになることを知っています。」

[3：6]それで、女性は木が食物に良いこと、そしてそれが目に喜ばしいこと、そして木が一人の賢者を作ることを望んでいることを見たとき、その実を取って食べました。彼女はまた、夫と一緒にいた夫にいくつかを与え、彼は食べました。

[3：7]それから、両方の目が開かれ、彼らは自分たちが裸であることを知った。そして彼らはいちじくの葉を縫い合わせ、自分用にふんどしを作りました。

[3：8]彼らは夕風の時に庭で神の主が歩いている音を聞き、男とその妻は庭の木の間に神の主の臨在から身を隠した。

[3：9]しかし、神、主は人に呼ばわって、「どこにいるのか」と言われた。

[3:10]彼は言った、「庭であなたの音が聞こえた。私は裸だったので、怖かった。自分を隠した」。

[3:11]彼は言った、「だれがあなたが裸だとあなたに言ったのですか。あなたは私に食べないように命じた木から食べましたか」。

[3:12]男性は言った、「あなたが私と一緒にいた女性は、木から実をくれたので、食べました」。

[3:13]それから、神、主は女に言われた、「あなたはこれをどうしたのか」。女性は「蛇が私をだまして、食べました」と言いました。

[3:14]主なる神は蛇に言われた、「あなたはこれをしたので、あなたはすべての動物とすべての野生の生き物との間でのろわれている。あなたの腹の上に行き、あなたはあなたの人生のすべての日を食べなければならない」 。

[3:15]私はあなたと女性の間、そしてあなたの子孫と彼女の間に敵意を置きます。彼はあなたの頭を打ち、あなたは彼のかかとを打ちます。」

[3:16]彼は女性に言った、「私は出産時にあなたの苦痛を大きく増します。痛みであなたは子供を産みますが、あなたの欲望はあなたの夫のためであり、彼はあなたを支配します。」

[3:17]彼は言った、「あなたはあなたの妻の声に耳を傾け、わたしがあなたに命じた木を食べたので、 『あなたはそれを食べてはならない』と呪われた。あなたの;あなたは苦労してあなたの人生のすべての日それを食べるものとします;

[3:18]いばらとあざみはあなたのために生むでしょう。あなたは畑の植物を食べなければならない。

[3:19]顔の汗で、地面に戻るまでパンを食べる。あなたは塵であり、塵に帰らなければならない。」

[3:20]その男は妻イブと名付けた。なぜなら彼女はすべての生きている母親だったからだ。

[3:21]主なる神は人とその妻のために皮の衣を作り、それを着た。

[3:22]主なる神は言われた、「見よ、人は善と悪とを知って、わたしたちのようになった。そして今、彼は手を伸ばして、命の木から取って食べ、永遠に生きる" -

[3:23]それで、主なる神は、彼をエデンの園から、彼が連れ出された地まで送られた。

[3:24]彼は男を追い出した。エデンの園の東に彼はケルビムと、命の木への道を守るために燃え上がり回る剣を置いた。

[4：1]今、その男は妻のイブを知っていたので、彼女はカインを考え出して、「主の助けを借りて男を産んだ」と言った。

[4：2]次に彼女は彼の兄弟アベルを産んだ。アベルは羊の番人であり、カインは地の耕うん機でした。

[4：3]カインは時間の経過とともに、地の実のささげ物を主にささげた。

[4：4]そしてアベルは、その群れの初子である脂肪分を持ち込んだ。そして、主はアベルと彼の捧げ物を尊敬していた、

[4：5]しかし、カインと彼の捧げ物については、彼には何の配慮もありませんでした。それでカインは非常に怒っていて、彼の表情は落ちました。

[4：6]主はカインに言われた、「どうしてあなたは怒っているのか。なぜあなたの表情が落ちたのか。

[4：7]うまくいけば、受け入れられませんか？そして、あなたがうまくいかなければ、罪はドアに潜んでいます。その欲望はあなたのためですが、あなたはそれをマスターしなければなりません。」

[4：8]カインは弟アベルに言った、「野原に出よう」。そして、彼らが野原にいたとき、カインは彼の兄弟アベルに対して立ち上がって、彼を殺しました。

[4：9]主はカインに言った、「あなたの兄弟アベルはどこにいるのか」。彼は言った、「私は知らない。私は私の弟の番人か？」

[4:10]主は言われた、「あなたは何をしたのですか。聞いてください。あなたの兄弟の血が地からわたしに叫びます

[4:11]そして今、あなたはあなたの手から兄弟の血を受け取るために口を開いた地面からのろわれています。

[4:12]あなたが地面に着くと、それはもはやあなたにその力を譲りません。あなたは地上で逃亡者であり、放浪者になります。」

[4:13]カインは主に言った、「私の罰は耐えることができないほど大きい！

[4:14]今日、あなたは私を土から追い出しました。そして、私はあなたの顔から隠されます。私は逃亡者であり、地球上の放浪者になります。

[4:15]それから主は彼に言われた、「そうではない！カインを殺す者は七度の復venに苦しむだろう」。そして、主はカインに印をつけられたので、彼の上に来た者はだれも彼を殺さない。

[4:16]カインは主の前を離れ、エデンの東のノドの地に定住した。

[4:17]カインは妻を知っていたので、彼女は妊娠してエノクを産んだ。彼は都市を建設し、息子エノクにちなんでエノクと名付けました。

[4:18]エノクに生まれたのはイラド。イラドはメフヤエルの父、メフヤエルはメトサエルの父、メトシャエルはラメクの父でした。

[4:19]ラメクは2人の妻を連れて行った。一人の名前はアダで、もう一人の名前はジラでした。

[4:20]アダはジャバルを産んだ。彼はテントに住んで家畜を飼っている人々の祖先でした。

[4:21]彼の兄弟の名前はジュバル。彼はly琴とパイプを演奏するすべての人々の祖先でした。

[4:22]ジラは、あらゆる種類の青銅と鉄の道具を作ったツバルカインを産んだ。トゥバルカインの妹はナアマでした。

[4:23]ラメクは妻に言った：「アダとジラ、私の声を聞いてください。あなたはラメクの妻たち、私の言うことを聞いてください。

[4:24]カインが7倍に復すれば、本当にラメクは77倍になります。」

[4:25]アダムは再び彼の妻を知り、彼女は息子を産んで彼にセスと名付けた。彼女は言った。

[4:26]セスにも息子が生まれ、エノシュと名付けました。その時、人々は主の名を呼び始めました。
