The principle of the excluded middle, part one

Since being and nonbeing are opposites (i.e., contradictory) and opposites cannot be the same, nothing can hide in the "cracks" between being and non-being. The only choices are being and nonbeing.
Any attempt to deny that all meaningful statements must be noncontradictory, by its very nature very nature a meaningful statement, must be noncontradiction. Likewise, any attempt to deny the law of noncontradictory statement about reality- which is self-defeating. So, like other first principles, the law of noncontradiction is undeniable.

Dinosaurs: phylogenetic chart

The next time you see a phylogenetic tree ("tree of life") in a textbook, take a look at the fine print. Honest diagrams will make a distinction between the actual evidence and the interpreted information by using shading or dashed and solid lines.
Dinosaurs were dinosaurs and did not change into something else or from something else. The links between kinds are simply stories about the evidence. The evidence does not prove evolution, as is often suggested.

Looking towards Christ

The Old Testament was a foreshadow of the coming of Jesus. I will examine this ideas for you and me.
There was a place where priest would sacrifice animals. The priest would not shed their own blood but use the animals as a sort of credit cards for the sins of themselves and the people.
This was an ceremonial that Christ fulfilled.
He came to this world as the Lord that became man. He lived a perfect life and he died on the cross. He conquered death and he returned back to heaven.
If a person repents from their sins and follow Jesus then that person is cleansed from their sins.
Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament.


Hebrews 9:6-10

When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.
