Here’s a ponder (Evangelicals take note):

Do you think God knew that this species Man has a ~12,000 year expiration date before evil degrades it to worthless?

Is that why the cycle of the micronova of Sun is ~12,000 years?

Mathew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

26 What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?”

So, who promised salvation in return for blind obeisance to the golden calf of Israel and all its evil?

What if they were lying?

God's will in all things. The Sun, the infinite Math, to Eternity.
