The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is one of the most harrowing in the Bible, that is, if it hadn't been softened by spaghetti theology. It's a conversation with a man who's burning in hell.
Hell is Expanding into the Great Gulf
If Hell is Expanding Why isn’t the Earth Getting Bigger?
Continuing the theme of weird things that people say on social media there's another question which comes up from time to time which pertains to Jesus' teaching on hell.
Bending the Truth
If P-waves (sound waves) travel in straight lines then why are the lines depicting their paths through the interior of the Earth curved in the popular science interpretation of data from seismic waves (SciPop)?
The Great Gulf P-wave Shadow
The popular science "liquid outer core" is speculative at best, and there is no reason why it can't be open space. The P-wave shadow zone is the great gulf of which Jesus spoke in Luke 16:26.
Theoretical vs. Empirical
Theoretical and empirical are opposites, like dark and light. Empirical means verified by direct observation. Theoretical can't be seen, it's what we hope for, which is why we became a scientist.
Biblical Seismology
The testimony of Jesus Christ establishes that there's a great gulf of open space inside the Earth. It's described in the passage known as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31).
Tehom was Wet. Sheol is Dry
The space in the interior of the Earth formerly occupied by the great deep is now a great gulf (chasm) of open space that Jesus spoke of in Luke 16:26. The open space is no longer referred to as tehom, it's now sheol.
Based on Gravitational Interaction
Having a value for Earth's average density is critical to the popular science (SciPop) model for its internal structure because we can't see inside the Earth, we can only infer what we think it's structure may be.
Where is the Gravity in a Comet?
We upset a compromised Christian when we told them they they were defending the mainstream science paradigm (SciPop). It started when we confronted them about a statement that they make on their website.
Established Science
There was a time when we stopped using the phrase cluelessness event horizon because we thought that it was needlessly judgmental. Sadly, it serves such an essential function that it's here to stay.
