Yet more on how the holy Scriptures proclaim the supremacy of the Father.

 John10:29AKJV "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." 

According to Christendom's theologians our Lord's God and Father is not the most high God but merely one of three coexisting person's (not Gods of which there is but one) who subsists within the most high God, but note that our Lord and his apostles do not concur. Thus through out the scriptures the Father is equated with the God (Greek ho Theos), and our Lord is distinguished not merely from the Father but from the God. For instance  

1Corinithians8:6AKJV" 6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." 

Note the Father is the one God worship by our Lord and his genuine disciples .

John14:23,24AKJV"23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. 2(the)God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."  

Again the God and Father of Jesus Christ is portrayed not merely  as divine in some vague way, but as that one God to whom all faithful servants of JEHOVAH owe their highest allegiance, we are not surprised then to find that the scriptures do not merely distinguish between Jesus Christ and the Father, but Jesus Christ and the God. 

John14:1AKJV"1Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in (the)God, believe also in me." 

Yet again the God and Father of Jesus is not merely a hypothesis subsisting within the most high God but he is the most high God, thus in this passage our Lord is represented as distinct not merely from an abstract Father who is his equal but from the most high God who is peerless. 

Psalms83:18AKJV"That men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the MOST HIGH over all the earth."


Why science must be examined by the real world.

 Paul Nelson: Listen to Nature for Her Answers

Evolution News @DiscoveryCSC 

On a classic ID the Future episode, philosopher of science Paul Nelson concludes his discussion with host Andrew McDiarmid about what it takes to converse effectively with scientists who are trapped in a naturalistic parabola — that is, researchers who draw their conclusions from naturalism’s authority rather than following the evidence wherever it leads. Nelson urges us to keep the third party in the conversation: nature herself. We listen to nature through experimentation, he says, and warns against the message from scientists such as Caltech’s Sean Carroll who have suggested that testing is “overrated.” If we listen and test, nature can keep revealing herself in surprising ways, which is what makes science so fun.
