"The Association Between Our Dates of Birth and Death"

Frequently one or more ridiculous hypotheses are bandied about. Almost as often an hypothesis becomes an undeniable fact as its nonesensical nature is unfolded. A veritable hoch-potch of pseudo-scientific claptrap is its crumbling foundation. 

The latest example to come to light is the one quoted at the top of this "post." "The Association Between our Dates ofBirth and Death." Surveys undertaken by individuals and collectives from America, Germany, Ireland, Japan and Switzerland. In order to have a semblance of a chance to understand its implications, it is necessary to have a spectacular knowledge of "scientific" terms, and a formidable grasp of the English language. I lay no claim whatsoever to either!

As with every false hypothesis it has needed to be investigated, altered, and added to constantly. This particular study appeared in the ambitiously entitled "Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health" (1987).

Its two principle idealogies are labelled, "death postponement" meaning exactly what it implies; and "birthday blues," said to be "a stressful event provoking a rise in mortality."  

Further studies were carried out in 2001, 2012, and 2018. As far as I can gather they all disagreed in a number of key elements, in their fatally flawed efforts to no doubt undermine the truth as revealed in the Scriptures.

They all refer to numerous persons of fame, fortune and academic prowess. They used an interminable amount of time, and expended massive fortunes, to no satisfactory conclusion, nor solution in their understanding of death. 

What a terrible waste of time and resources when these supposedly erudite men and women could be engaged in something that would be of universal benefit.

The Word of God states unequivocally that, "The soul that sinneth it shall die;" "The wages of sin is death;" "It is appointed unto men once to die and after this Judgement." That "appointment" cannot be postponed or cancelled! It is inevitable for the Word of God cannot be broken.

An Example of "Man's Wisdom" in Ireland, Norway and Spain 

May 28th will be an "historic" date in the calendar of the terrorist organisatio, P.L.O. it has declared publicly. On that date three more countries will blindly follow those blind leaders of the blind who already recognise a Palestinian State. I have no political views; nor am I associated in any way with politics; nor have I ever voted in any political elections; nor do I intend to vote at any time. because Democracy is as unscriptural as Autocracy, Communism, Republicanism and Monarchy.  Furthermore, I follow the news stories in a very, very limited way. The only real exceptions are those that impinge on my fundamental Christian beliefs, or upon the nation of Israel in its connection with these beliefs.

It is apparent that all three nations are predominately Roman, (Catholic is a misnomer, and is only used to veil the truth of its deep-seasted Romanism), that is why its adherents are happy to be generally referred to as simply "Catholics!" This I maintain even though Norway claims (nominally) to be "Evangelical Lutheran," whatever that may mean! 

But nevertheless, what horrifies me is the stand about to be taken by Ireland. It has surely been amongst the most favoured nations under the sun, in enjoying such manifold blessings from our "great God and Saviour," and withal becoming the "birthplace" of the divinely inspired "Brethren Movement," commonly so-called. 

May the Lord have mercy on that nation that borders my own; and may it please Him to keep the U.K. from venturing into such a pathway, which will only increase the rapid filling-up of our cup of iniquity.

 

 International Tract Distribution Day (8) Feedback

Before the "Distribution Day" becomes a distant memory, I hope nevertheless, a precious memory, I feel a little update as to "fedback" would not go amiss.

I received some wonderful encouragement even before that day dawned in the gracious, loving-kindness of our faithful God. It was so good to know how this huimble ministry is laid upon the hearts of His dear people, who take the time to so uplift me (and others too, of course), in this exercise.

I received four little "reports," each of them so heart-warming, and it thrilled me to read them. The feedback was received from Northern Ireland, from Seattle, U.S.A. from Canada and from Zambia! They are archived in heaven! 

May it please the Lord to richly bless all who participated on that day, befor its dawning, and since it drew to a close. Dear brethren abd sisdters in Christ, please water the "good seed" sown with your earnest and fervent prayers for the lost, and the backslidden, that each and all of them may be led to repentance in "the goodness of God." Romans 2:4.
