		<description>It is a waste of time to argue with people who
are illiterate of God's word. Just like their models
Benny Hinn, Mike Murdock, Oral Roberts, Rick Warren
and many more in ecumenical and pentecostal circles
who pretended to be a bible scholars but absolutely
an idiot in disguise. The above mentioned are the
real pictures of Isaiah 56:11. 
A genuine believers of Jesus, love His physical 
brethren. To be more exact,the oracles of God were
committed to them ( Romans 3:1).
I love JJP, Arnold Fructenbaum, Sam Nadler, and
many more who teach faithfully the entire counsel
of the word of God.</description>

		<description>Greatings Tysen,

How are you?:)

I am not writing to argue with you at all but rather that you may be saved and come to a knowledge and relationship with our loving yet holy God In Christ Jesus the saviour of those who believe and to this end i shall now proceed.:)

and i hope you are blessed by Christ in finding his truth and salvation to the glory of God.:)

Can I ask you a question Tysen?

What do you believe? and why?

And what if you where to die tonight?
where do you believe you would spend eternity?
Do you believe in an eternity?
If so what is it and if not why?
If you do however believe in a heaven and God  
can you define accourding to the bible why you believe you would get into heaven and could you please provide the scripure of the bible that you believe to back up your response?

and by what merits would you get there?.
yousing the bible to quote the scripture you would base your view on ? thanks.

Have you given much thought to such things and if so what has become your conclusion friend?

I am not going to debate with you about Moriel, and i am not you critique or your judge but rather can you thoughtfully answer these following questions and thoughts :

what are our lives are they not a vapour are we not here one moment and then gone the next, would you agree?

Tysen Where are you going when you die and
What will be the sum totall of your life when it meets its end?

what will you do in the day you stand before your maker,?
who loved you so much he died to set you free, free from sin free from the bondage of the devil, and free only by the atoning blood of the Lord Jesus to spend eternity in heaven.

In that day what will be the purpose of your arguments on earth, this blog, the time you spent critiquing another mans efforts whether "you" believe them to be right or wrong?.......

what will you say to your maker who formed you in your mothers womb who fashioned you according to his design,who gave you the ability of logic the power to think form and create? for he made you in his image?

do you think you will be able to reason with the God of "ALL the Earth"?

 and ask yourself what is the hindurance from my being able to except such love ,
that despite of our sins christ died for us he became sin for us he who new no sin!
Why do you believe he did Tysen?

Why did he suffer on the cross?
what is your personal belief?
can you please share the scriptures you wouls use to support such beliefs?

If the devil could and does go out and decieve the world and he aims to blind mens eyes from recieving the truth what would make you so sure he cannot do that with you and me if we live without Christ as our saviour, who said:

John 4:23-24
23 “But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” 

Tysen what did Jesus mean by this that those who worship me will worship in spirit and truth?

What is the truth he is talking about?
Have you ever humbly got in prayer and ask the real Jesus to reveal himself to you?

In this day and age where there are many false prophets,decievers and those who are being decieved what shall shield your from becoming thier prey:

have you ever read in the bible:
Corinthians 11:3 

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

and also that:

In Proverbs 14:12 it says, There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. 

If Gods word clearly states that we can think we are in the right and yet be so wrong!
What makes you so sure you are right friend?

can i ask you friend to think on the above scripture, is it possible to know true knowledge apart from Christ? and a relationship with him? 

Can you define your relationship with him ? and that not for the sake of posting a rebutle to me on this blog but for your own sake.

Did you know it is by the Holy spirit of God that one is lead into all truth ?

For the scripture says: 
 	
 Jesus said,:

When he, the Spirit of truth. has come, he will guide you into all truth(John 16:13).

 The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He is truth essentially in himself, and he is the one who leads the church into all truth. ie:(The Church is the body of believers not the building i must add)and ,It is those whom are christ that will be lead by the holy spirit into all truth.

If this is the case How can i ask Tysen friend can you have truth apart from the Spirit of truth?

that alone belongs to Christ and is put into those who follow Jesus...
 
and thus are the true christians, and if you are not his ie: a biblical Christian who has accepted Jesus as Your LOrd,Savior and master can you really Know truth about and accourding to God?

What can you say to these things?
 not as though you have to give any answer or account to me friend ,but what answer would you give to God in relation to these things for we must give an account?:

2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.

would you tysen but for a moment put aside all futile arguments and look to Jesus for all things pertaining to this life,?

 For he knows all things and is above all things and by his spirit and only His spirit can you be lead into all truth can you say you have part with him are you his and is he yours?

Dear friend if thiere be any heart still pumping in you it is not to late, God is a great God slow to anger and full of mercy, if you will only stop this , striving with others and look to him for rest and thus find peace for your soul ,

Dont waste your life on things that do not satisfy but look to Jesus and him alone for salvation please here me for i am not your critique or your judge but if you can but heed my final words Tysen:

 LOOK,LOOK TO JESUS.

May God be gracious to you and draw you to himself.

Amen.</description>

		<description>Romans 3;1, Psalms 147:19, Deut 29:29
Pastor JJP qualifies to be a true bible preacher.
I love to read and listen to his bible exposition.
My country, the Philippines has no bible teacher
like him who can teach the bible in its own merit.
My country is pre dominantlypentecostal/charismatc
where teachings have no more substance nor nutritional values. MONEY, MONEY,MONEY gospel is preached!!!
visitors like Benny Hinn, John Avanzini, Don Clowers are junks. They knew nothing about biblical lessons to enrich believers on the word
of God, instead this charlatan preachers have
enriched their pockets from their collections
during offering. Sad to think that the vast 
majority of believers are victim. We are praying
that one day we could have true teacher like JJP
to mentor us for spiritual growth and maturity.
Prosperity gospel preachers have nothing to do for
one's bible knowledge.</description>

		<title>Comment on Sustaining Australia’s Future – Building Mountains by Martin</title>

		<description>By the way I like your idea about firing high velocity projectiles into the centre of Australia and making a volcanoe. I would like to expand on this idea:-
What you need to do is to build either a huge rail gun in space, orbiting the earth. Or alternatively there is an American company startup which has proposed buidling a kilometer of so long gun which floats under the sea and sticks out only a little bit out of the water and attched and serviced by an oil rig type platform so it can be rotated in all directions. This gun is proposed to fire projectiles into space which can service space station, but my personal opinion is that the shear G-forces probably would make the transported goods difficult to say the least as it is similar to putting something into a shot gun and firing it. But really to make a crater impact I believe that even this gun would not be sufficient. You have to think bigger, such as an asteroidal impact forces. The technology that could best achieve such a terraforming crater which if not done for military purposes would be in my opinion a great idea. How you do this is with a couple optons. You can build an    orbiting space rail gun of suitable size to fire a 4 metre diameter tungsten carbide projectile about 10-20 meters in length. The projectile needs to have a ballistic rounded tip to dissipate heat most effectively as a tip speeds of mach 17 plus will be encountered. This is why reentry vehilces or hypersonic vehicles dont have sharp tips as they over het due to to mu suface area to volume. Anyway the projectile then is tapered slightly as parralel shaped projectiles are hard to steer at hypersonic speeds (you can read about this on NASA and other defence blogs). A deep impacting tungsten carbide projectile of 4 metres diameter and 10-20 meters long, travelling at mach 17 to mach 25 has the ability to match a small asteroid type collision say something such as the Tungusta event in siberia russia earlier this century. You would create a crater with this projecile. It all comes to speed and weight. Tungsten carbide is about 19 times heavier than water (I have to check this again) but it is much heavier than iron and is very hard and has a high melting temperature which means it would withstand re - entry speeds. Small military weapons based on this principle are used as the deep penetrating bombs used a future bunker busting bombs by the military. 
However mankind will have to choose if such an engineering marvel will be used for good or evil. The ultimate weapon or either terraformming concept that mankind has technology right now, which I have come up with is quite simple. Think about the Pentagons top weapon systems to take out an Iranian deep bunker nuclear bunker or something equivalent of forming a crater for terraforming in places such as central Australia. How you can do this today on current technology is to set aside between 6 and 12 ARES heavy launch lift rockets. We are talking bigger payloads than the Saturn 5 Apollo era rockets tha lande n on the moon. What you do is launch separate tungsten carbide tapered cylidrical pieces which when combined in space fit to form a large projct. These individual peices are screwed together on internal ground taperd mating surfaces and assembled ann zero gravity in space. Once the 4- 8metre wide projectile is assembld from large pieces in say 6-12 rocket launches, you then have a huge ARES type rocket in space to accelerate the projectile which would weigh several hundred to may 2500 tonnes (based on ARES heavy lift rocket lifting 200 tonnes on each launch into suitable geostationary orbit, 400km or so) into the centre of australia. This would really make a big crater, the projctile of 2500 hitting the eath at about Mach 25 - Mach 40 would creat a huge crater, something like an asteroid impact. You could wait till the volcanoe cooled down then use it as a lake or it may creat a small mountain. The dust and ash it jects into hig atmosphere would be a cause for concern though as it would alter climate for about 3 years making it cooler as it takes time to dissipatesmall dust particles. So what ever you do it has to hit the right spot, well away from people and you need plenty of warning. But if you want a true equivalent of a non nuclear bomb with no radiation and want to take outa deep bunker somewhere then the enemy would really not stand a chance. This rojctile could literally penetrate more than a kilometer deep and the shock wave both underground and above ground would heat up everything for maybe a radius of 10-25 kilometers,it could create a mountain or take out any underground North Korean nucler site with ease to more than a kilometer depth, so it is no laughing matter when this things approahes. You will be roasted alive if it came down on top of you by the air pressure heat and hock waveould then obliterate you well before impact. So if I was a North Korean nuclear scientist then I would be very scared as reinforced concrete even 100 meters thick would be like going through tissue paper when this thing hits. But yes apart from the truly awesome military power of such a weapon in the hands of a "good" superpower, you culd easily build a small yet useful crater in central australia for terraforming purposes such a lake creation or a basin to catch water and grow trees in a cooler area. Think of the kimberley mountains with all the crevaces and gorges which support life well away from the hot 40 plus temperatures. This is what a crater would also do, giv much needed protection from the Northrly and westerly sun.

Thank you,

The projectile needs to have a ballistic rounded tip to dissipate heat most effectively as a tip speeds of mach 17 plus will be encountered. This is why reentry vehilces or hypersonic vehicles dont have sharp tips as they over het due to to mu suface area to volume. Anyway the projectile then is tapered slightly as parralel shaped projectiles are hard to steer at hypersonic speeds (you can read about this on NASA and other defence blogs). A deep impacting tungsten carbide projectile of 4 metres diameter and 10-20 meters long, travelling at mach 17 to mach 25 has the ability to match a small asteroid type collision say something such as the Tungusta event in siberia russia earlier this century. You would create a crater with this projecile. It all comes to speed and weight. Tungsten carbide is about 19 times heavier than water (I have to check this again) but it is much heavier than iron and is very hard and has a high melting temperature which means it would withstand re &#8211; entry speeds. Small military weapons based on this principle are used as the deep penetrating bombs used a future bunker busting bombs by the military.<br />
However mankind will have to choose if such an engineering marvel will be used for good or evil. The ultimate weapon or either terraformming concept that mankind has technology right now, which I have come up with is quite simple. Think about the Pentagons top weapon systems to take out an Iranian deep bunker nuclear bunker or something equivalent of forming a crater for terraforming in places such as central Australia. How you can do this today on current technology is to set aside between 6 and 12 ARES heavy launch lift rockets. We are talking bigger payloads than the Saturn 5 Apollo era rockets tha lande n on the moon. What you do is launch separate tungsten carbide tapered cylidrical pieces which when combined in space fit to form a large projct. These individual peices are screwed together on internal ground taperd mating surfaces and assembled ann zero gravity in space. Once the 4- 8metre wide projectile is assembld from large pieces in say 6-12 rocket launches, you then have a huge ARES type rocket in space to accelerate the projectile which would weigh several hundred to may 2500 tonnes (based on ARES heavy lift rocket lifting 200 tonnes on each launch into suitable geostationary orbit, 400km or so) into the centre of australia. This would really make a big crater, the projctile of 2500 hitting the eath at about Mach 25 &#8211; Mach 40 would creat a huge crater, something like an asteroid impact. You could wait till the volcanoe cooled down then use it as a lake or it may creat a small mountain. The dust and ash it jects into hig atmosphere would be a cause for concern though as it would alter climate for about 3 years making it cooler as it takes time to dissipatesmall dust particles. So what ever you do it has to hit the right spot, well away from people and you need plenty of warning. But if you want a true equivalent of a non nuclear bomb with no radiation and want to take outa deep bunker somewhere then the enemy would really not stand a chance. This rojctile could literally penetrate more than a kilometer deep and the shock wave both underground and above ground would heat up everything for maybe a radius of 10-25 kilometers,it could create a mountain or take out any underground North Korean nucler site with ease to more than a kilometer depth, so it is no laughing matter when this things approahes. You will be roasted alive if it came down on top of you by the air pressure heat and hock waveould then obliterate you well before impact. So if I was a North Korean nuclear scientist then I would be very scared as reinforced concrete even 100 meters thick would be like going through tissue paper when this thing hits. But yes apart from the truly awesome military power of such a weapon in the hands of a &#8220;good&#8221; superpower, you culd easily build a small yet useful crater in central australia for terraforming purposes such a lake creation or a basin to catch water and grow trees in a cooler area. Think of the kimberley mountains with all the crevaces and gorges which support life well away from the hot 40 plus temperatures. This is what a crater would also do, giv much needed protection from the Northrly and westerly sun.</p>

		<description>Great to hear your comments on the article I wrote, we think very much alike. In the near future I would like to write a more detailed and scientifically backed book or online resource with alot of illustrations of my and other peoples mountain building or terraforming ideas. Basically building a mountain range or extending an existing mountain range in length and height like you suggested is a worthy scientific and engineering goal of a society in my opinion. I also share your idea on expeanding Lake Eyre with the Spencer gulf in S.A.. I would love to both expand and deepen lake Eyre, as when you creat a body of water large enough you do change the climate into a much more moderate one which can further help establish plant life which would othewise not exist. I strongly believe that the residents of South Australia and Australians in general Lake Eyre would benefit enormously by deepening Lake Eyre to about 10 metres deep (up to 20 in areas) or deeper, as at the moment from the Lake while being very large in area is very shallow, maybe 2 metres or less on average, which means it evaporates very fast as water is shallow and stays to warm. Deep lakes dont evaporate as fast. Also I agree that it needs additional water from somewhere which is more reliable than occassional seasonal rainfal or once in a 5-10 year filling event. I would build a mountain somewhere inland in SA, well behind Lake Eyre which would then have a river system feeding Lake Eyre and also The Murray Darling. What wil happen is that the agricultural and also temperate climae would extend into SA and allow greater food production, allow greater population and better standad of living, better soil structure and allow forestry and greater animal habitats in areas which arent very favourable to human settlement. You would change Australia in so many beneficial ways that the costs of building a mountain or an artificial sea as you suggested would very much justify such a project once people start to see the benefits to the economy. I agree that an inland lake is preferable to be freshwater as you can then use it for irrigation, industy and domestic purposes, but a seawater area is also beneficial if done correctly. If you are going to build a mountain then there will be ample freshwater runoff to fill a lake, without a mountain then extending a seawater lake will be the most beneficial. And I totally agree with you that computer modelling has to be done with a team of CSIRO scientists and engineers, to calculate what would be the best option. I do agree with you that an inland shipping channel would generate enormous benefits to Lake Eyre which in my opinion is under utilised resource. And yes adding any length to the australia alps would be beneficial and increasing its altitude by 1000m would help alot. The reason I didn't suggest increasing existing mountains height is that it would be hard to convince green groups and justify that you can cover up existing maybe threatened ecosystems which mountain building material like conctrete or earth. But I am glad you raised this point as it is something i forgot to include. Tht is why I suggested that it may be better to select arid, poor quality land which doesn't have any existing overlying vegetation, such as desserts and improve them and turn them into oasisis. I believe if you build any high altitude land water naturally comes with it, it is very simple natural. I am glad there are like minded people around so I really appreciate your email. I want to spread this idea around to as many people as possible so that Australia and other places which are dry areas can benefit from additional water. Because water is the bottom line which is why a mountain is to be built. 
Thank you again for your comments,
Lets hope that one day people smarten themselves up to these ideas.
 
Best regards,

		<description>Interesting to hear others have entertained ideas I have had for at least two decades. I have even thought of a channel linking Spencers Gulf in South Australia to Lake Eyre, but I suspect that the salt content would soon make this inland sea too salty. But the additional preciptative possibilities could be subjected to rigorous computer modelling to see what such an inland shipping channel come canal to Lake Eyre would reap.
In terms of building mountains, how about extending the Australian Alps about 30kms along its spine and adding about a 1000 metres at its highest?
Or firing high volocity projectiles into the earth in Central Australia and building volcanoes?
Just some thoughts. Terraforming is a science of the future.....</description>
