    You think it's bad now with 7.6 billion. Wait until it gets to 11.3 billion.

    82 years from now is 2100 with an estimated 11.3 billion. 82 years from then will be 2183 with an additional 4 billion on top of the 11.3? That would make it 15.3 billion? That's at the end of 164 years only. There are 836 more years after that if 1000 years is going to end.

    Working on the physical law outside is the better way to achieve any kind of goodness until the end.


    Outside physical laws such as no nudity in public places; no child extortion; no rape; etc... Working on things such as these is the better way to achieve any sort of Godliness.

    You want to help 'save' other people? Help them begin keeping the Law(s) of the land they are living within.

    It's usually after a routine keeping of the Law as second nature that one begins to accept Christ much easier.


    It's not that difficult for 'law keepers' to accept Christ. The 'law breakers' are the ones with the difficult time(s).

    What are the laws of the Land? Look it up in the local State and City and County Law books/guides. They will tell you what is and what is not Lawful for that State and City and County. Not each State, not each City and County abide by the same 'laws'.

    Law keeping even usually helps parents and children reunite under a good 'lawful' home roof/protection. When runaways begin keeping 'law', they will begin making amends with their estranged families.


    It is not good to justify the lawless and condemn the lawful.


    Police brutality and police discrimination to ticket citing are as above. Justifying the wicked and condemning the just.

    What is the will of (J)esus Christ? What would He have us do?

    Matthew 12:50 "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."

    1 Thessalonians 4:10;12 "And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; .. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing."

    Hebrews 1:10 "And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

    11They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

    12And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."


    Hebrews 1:9 "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."

    Angels are as 'ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation' - Hebrews 1:14

    Who/What is/are the 'they' in verse 11?

    sundry times
    divers manners
    the fathers
    prophets,
    last days
    us
    our sins
    angels
    this day
    ministers a flame of fire
    thy fellows.

    Hebrews 1:1-10 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

    5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

    6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

    7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

    8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

    10And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:"

    Compare 'angels' with 'holy angels'.

    Luke 9:26 "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."


    Mark 8:38 "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."


    Revelation 14:10 "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"


    Matthew 25:31 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"


    1 Peter 1:12 "Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.'

    Who are the 'angels'?

    Galatians 3:15-22
    "Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it beconfirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

    19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.20Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 21Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe."


    What 'law' is this referring to? The 'law' of the land within Government.

    - Though it be but a man's covenant
    Galatians 3:15

    Angels are those that 'ordained' law in the hand of the mediator.


    1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"

    Galatians 3:24 "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."


    What 'law'? The law(s) which were ordained by angels in the hand of Christ (J)esus. Government was supposed to be these 'angels' which were as our school masters to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith, and maybe by faith alone.


    If the 'law(s)' were enforced and kept and adhered to, faith would be a part of, secondary, to our outwardly 'righteous' living, according to the ordained law(s) of the angels.

    The outward righteous life would be the 'acts'. And 'faith' would be justified.

    That is why for the believers, faith and works justify and not just 'faith' alone; seeing that faith alone is as dead. Nor does works alone justify seeing that no man is accounted 'righteous' based only on works.


    1 Corinthians 6:3 "Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"


    We shall judge 'angels'; not 'holy angels'.



    Matthew 18:10 "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."


    behold:
    991. blepó
    Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
    behold, perceive, take heed.
    A primary verb; to look at (literally or figuratively) -- behold, beware, lie, look (on, to), perceive, regard, see, sight, take heed. Compare optanomai.


    [the] heavens:
    3772. ouranos
    Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
    air, heaven, sky.
    Perhaps from the same as oros (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension, heaven (as the abode of God); by implication, happiness, power, eternity; specially, the Gospel (Christianity) -- air, heaven(-ly), sky.

    face:
    4383. prosópon
    Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
    countenance, face, appearance
    From pros and ops (the visage, from optanomai); the front (as being towards view), i.e. The countenance, aspect, appearance, surface; by implication, presence, person -- (outward) appearance, X before, countenance, face, fashion, (men's) person, presence.

    Father:
    3962. patér
    Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
    father, parent.
    Apparently a primary word; a "father" (literally or figuratively, near or more remote) -- father, parent.


    Matthew 18:10 "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."


    Most definitely 'holy angels'; not 'angels' because of the question.. 'Can anything unrighteous continually stand before The Father'?


    The concept of 'guardian angels' come from this verse, I think. I'm not sure if there are truly 'guardian' holy angels so maybe this is referring to the 'angels' which are of Galatians 3.

    Regardless if they are 'holy angels' or 'angels'. They are 'angels' to the little ones; the ones who are small in number or in esteem or in some other way. The little ones. And their 'angels' do want them to be successful and well just as most parents want for their own 'little ones', right?

    Romans 13.. Obey and be subject to the higher power(s). Parents are as these 'higher power(s)' and they are also as 'angels' to/of the little ones.


    Single adults which are not parents are not as 'angels' but could be as 'higher power', depending on their job title in Society.

    One dark day in the middle of the night
    Two dead boys got up to fight
    Back to back they faced each other
    Drew their swords and shot each other

    And came to kill the two dead boys

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    Quiz question:

    A fourth grader comes into the classroom and sits down. Upon the teacher entering and upon the class beginning, the student raises his/her hand and waits to be called upon. The teacher calls upon the student and the student asks, "Why do we need to use pencils to do our math problems while in the classroom'?

    The teacher responds that pencils are easily erasable if any mistakes are made.

    The student raises his/her hand again and is called upon again.

    The student replies, 'But what if I don't want to erase the mistakes I might make but want to continue the math problem on the side of the mistake'?



    What makes the teacher be able to give sound reasonings to questions/responses such as the one the student made?

    Angels are as parents and Schoolmasters are as Government. Both are concerned about the 'little ones'. All others are not 'involved'?

    Okay.. now if you can explain it to me, since I'm asking, maybe it will be 'better'?

    Or is the 'better' way saying, 'You don't make any sense'.

    EBOLA: The Science moves forward; Fear Crawls back under its Rock...

    [​IMG]

    An illustration of safe burial practices


    [​IMG]Bushmeat being prepared for cooking in Ghana. In Africa, wild animals including fruit bats are hunted for food and are referred to as bushmeat.[70][71] In equatorial Africa, human consumption of bushmeat has been linked to animal-to-human transmission of diseases, including Ebola.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease


    [​IMG]

    Workers and cattle in a slaughterhouse in 1942.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughterhouse


    Question:

    Does ebola and other viruses attach itself to more healthy lifes or unhealthy lifes, do you think?

    In my estimation, viruses would make the unhealthier 'habitats' their dwelling places. Such as filthy water or very murky, rotting waters.


    Do human 'women' lactate when they are not pregnant? What about 'cows'? Do they lactate when they are not pregnant? What is the number of times a natural 'cow' gives birth, in her lifetime, in the wild? So if certain cows are forced to lactate unwillingly many times over than 'natural', would that cow be a healthy cow or an unhealthy cow?


    Here is another example: An overachiever in a place where he/she can achieve nothing. Could that make that person ill/unhealthy?

    Or a 'laid back' person in a place where deadlines must continually be met. Could that make that person ill/unhealthy?

    Or how about a person with a high I.Q in a place where the others' are low? Could that make that person ill/unhealthy?


    Out of overachiever, laid back, high I.Q and low I.Q, which would you say would be the 'clean' and which would you say would be the 'unclean'?

    Let's use clean and unclean as generic terms which those 4 'words' must be placed within.

    Would overachiever and high I.Q be in the same category? Would overachiever and low I.Q be in the same category?

    What would the name be if only 'clean' and 'unclean' were available?

    So... if when both 'sets' are established, does the clean, when it comes into contact with the unclean, clean up the unclean or does the clean, when it comes into contact with the unclean, become unclean itself? Does the 'clean' have a tendency to make clean the unclean or does the unclean have the tendency to make the clean, unclean?

    Is it important or not important to keep yourself clean, outwardly and/or inwardly?


    Luke 11:39 "And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness."


    What if the ebola virus was on the outside of the dish verses inside of the 'meat'?


    What do you think?

    My post was meant to do exactly that, present you with an example of what your postings are to me. Gibberish of confused ranting impossible to understand as coherent commentary.

    In 2100 it would be more like 400 million instead of 11.3 billion. :heartbreaker:
