Thanks for reading/watching, and God bless!
This is the official ping list for Depths of Pentecost: I’m a Christian blogger who writes weekly Bible lessons. Topics range from Bible studies, apologetics, theology, history, and occasionally current events. Every now and then I upload sermons or classes onto YouTube.
Let me know if you’d like to added to the Depths of Pentecost ping list. New posts are up every Saturday.
Galileo wasn’t burned at the stake. He was sentenced to house arrest.
It was Giordano Bruno that was burned at the stake.
It’s all science. Science is seeking to understand how God works.
Even the Bible is scientific.
God has built in protection for us in that the abilities and knowledge are not available for anyone with an impure soul.
So let me differentiate between science and scientism. There’s a difference between being pro-science and worshiping science as a god.
And his belief that the stars were other suns which could be circled by other worlds was way, way down the list of his beliefs that countered Catholic beliefs.
It’s poetry in motion...
Do they ever make this complaint against de, 'ow you say, indigenous pipples???
The story we're told in high school is that he was set ablaze at the stake until he screamed for mercy and recanted his support of Copernicanism.
I had thought this until just recently. Shows how bad the public school system is lying/indoctrinating students, even in my time (18 years ago). Can't imagine how bad it is today.
And from what you said, I still haven't been completely de-programmed. That's how insidiously deep the lies can crawl into the mind.
What does ‘Pentecost’ the word literally mean?
Galileo was not burned at the stake!
He was under house arrest.
The whole Galileo-Catholic Church conflict was not as black & white as is popularly taught. The Pope at the time was far more sympathetic to Galileo’s views then against. Galileo’s impatience, international pressures & the challenge of Protestantism provoked a reaction that made Galileo collateral damage.
His cosmology may have had little to do with it.
He had other views that probably were more an issue.

Religions have codes that act to restrain behavior. Yes often these fail sometimes but usually the restraints return.
Scientism has no restraints. Thus we see eugenics and dialectical materialism which slaughtered more people in the 20th century alone than all the religious wars since the fall of Rome. By a magnitude more.
The Counter Revolution of Science: studies on the abuse of reason
and Hayek may well have coined the term scientism itself.
The book is divided into two parts:
"(1) Scientism and the Study of Society; and (2) The Counter-Revolution of Science. The former expounds the differences and peculiar histories of both the social and natural sciences, while the latter seeks to understand the historical development of "scientism", finding its roots in the rationalistic tradition of French (continental) thought."
I tend to think of science as the study of God’s creation, not God himself. Trying to understand God through his creation would be like trying to understand Picasso through his paintings. You might get a glimpse of some aspects of his personality, but not the whole picture. At some point you must go beyond science, since God himself is not limited by it.
Science is a process of gaining understanding, not a limited, quantified body of knowledge.
The human soul and the mind were created in such a way that human consciousness, knowledge and the corresponding abilities are not available to people who hold onto low frequency consciousness of fear, anger, jealousy,...... If you have the abilities and get angry you would cause much harm to yourself and others. Intelligence and perception of reality is a function of the level of consciousness from which you view it.
Just as a washing machine has a built in tilt safety switch so that an unbalanced load such as a wet blanket can not reach high rpms, the human consciousness is blocked from reaching high frequencies of consciousness.
Just as an out of balance tire is ok at low speeds, but at high speeds the entire car begins to shake, higher consciousness does the same thing to the soul. It’s the reason the Quakers and Shakers earned their names. This is part of the secret that Jesus, Buddha, and many of the mystics figured out and tried to teach us.
Excellent article with which I agree. I wrote about the same issues and came to largely the same conclusions on a couple of occasions:
