The earth being more than ~6000 years old, bio evolution and the big bang are more lies that have their roots in the heliocentric theory.
The Bible proves that the earth is ~6000 years old, that all things were created, and that the big bang is a big lie. The Bible also has many verses that descibe the earth as flat, immovable, and encased with a firmament, above which are the heavens and God's throne.
That's what you think because the god of this world (Satan) as blinded your mind to the truth, with the deception starting from a very young age.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake, seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:3-6 WEBPB)
Interesting, but could be a false prophecy. We shall see.
If this is true then this next pope shall be the one whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8).
The Soul Who Sins Shall Die
The LORD’s word came to me again, saying, “What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? “As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.
“But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right, and has not eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbour’s wife, hasn’t come near a woman in her impurity, and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment; he who hasn’t lent to them with interest, hasn’t taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man, has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live,” says the Lord GOD.
“If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things, or who does not do any of those things but has eaten at the mountain shrines and defiled his neighbour’s wife, has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination, has lent with interest, and has taken increase from the poor, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.
“Now, behold, if he fathers a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and fears, and doesn’t do likewise, who hasn’t eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbour’s wife, hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment; who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good amongst his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.
“Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live. The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
“But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die. None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord GOD, “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
“But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal? When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, then he dies in his iniquity that he has done. Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive. Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair? “Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord GOD. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore turn yourselves, and live! (Ezekiel 18:1-32 WEBPB)
The term “free will” as it is commonly understood today does not appear in the Bible.
While we do have the freedom to make choices, what happens when our choices go against the will of God? At first, the consequences may not be immediate. But how long is our life in God’s eyes?
“Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah”. (Psalm 39:5 ESV)
What ultimately happens to those who reject God’s will? How about the wicked—do their plans always succeed as they intend? Consider these biblical examples:
Jonah—What happened when he refused to preach to Nineveh? •Jonah 1:1-3 – Jonah attempted to flee from God’s command, boarding a ship to Tarshish. •Jonah 1:17 – God sent a great fish to swallow Jonah, keeping him there for three days and three nights. •Jonah 3:1-3 – After being delivered, Jonah obeyed and preached to Nineveh.
Satan—What is the result of his rebellion? •Revelation 12:7-9 – Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven after warring against Michael and his angels. •Revelation 20:1-5 – Satan is imprisoned, defeated, and finally destroyed forever.
Christ—Even in his greatest trial, he submitted to His Fathers will: •Luke 22:42 – “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (ESV) •Matthew 26:39 – “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” (ESV) •Philippians 2:8 – “He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a stake.” (ESV)
Adam—What were the consequences of his choice in Eden? •Genesis 2:16-17 – “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (ESV) •Genesis 3:6 – Adam and Eve ate the fruit, disobeying God. •Genesis 3:17-19 – The ground was cursed, bringing much toil and death as a result of Adam’s sin. •Romans 5:12 – “Just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.” (ESV)
Pharaoh—Was it not God who hardened his heart? •Exodus 4:21 – “But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.” (ESV) •Exodus 9:12 – “But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.” (ESV) •Exodus 10:1 – “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these signs of mine among them.’” (ESV) •Romans 9:17-18 – “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ‘For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.’ So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.” (ESV)
Now, think about the core belief of Satanism: “Do what thou wilt”. This sounds remarkably similar to the modern concept of free will. But are people truly free to do whatever they want forever, without consequence? Do the wicked choose to perish and be thrown into the lake of fire?
What about our choices themselves—are they not preordained by God? Consider these passages:
Ephesians 1:3-14—This passage strongly emphasizes God’s sovereignty in salvation. •Ephesians 1:4-5 – “Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will.” (ESV) oThis makes it clear that God chose believers before creation—not based on their future choices, but according to His will. •Ephesians 1:11 – “In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.” (ESV) oGod is not reacting to human choices; rather, He actively works out all things according to His plan.
Romans 8:18-30—This section discusses both suffering and God’s eternal purpose for believers. •Romans 8:28 – “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” (ESV) oOur lives unfold according to God’s purpose, not random events or mere human decisions. •Romans 8:29-30 – “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.” (ESV) oThis “golden chain” of salvation shows that God’s plan is set in motion before we ever make choices. Those whom He predestines will inevitably be called, justified, and glorified.
Romans 9:1-29—Paul explicitly argues that God’s will—not human effort—determines salvation. •Romans 9:11-13 – “Though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls—she was told, ‘The older will serve the younger.’ As it is written, ‘Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.’” (ESV) oGod’s choice of Jacob over Esau happened before they were born, showing election is based on God’s purpose, not human decisions. •Romans 9:15-16 – “For he says to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.’ So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.” (ESV) oSalvation does not depend on human choice or effort but solely on God’s mercy. •Romans 9:18 – “So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.” (ESV) oJust as God hardened Pharaoh’s heart (Exodus 9:12), He actively shapes human choices according to His will.
John 6:44—people cannot come to God by their own “free will”. •“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” (ESV) oHere, Jesus directly states that people cannot come to Him by their own “free will”. The Father must draw them, implying divine intervention in human choices.
1 Corinthians 1:18-31—Paul contrasts human wisdom with God’s sovereign choosing. •1 Corinthians 1:26-29 – “For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.” (ESV) oGod’s calling is not based on human ability, status, or choices. Instead, He chooses whom He will call, ensuring that salvation is entirely by His grace.
Lastly, our faith itself is a gift from God, not merely a human-generated decision. Here are key scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (ESV) •This passage suggests that even faith itself is a gift from God, not something we produce on our own.
Philippians 1:29 – “For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake.” (ESV) •The phrase “granted to you... to believe” implies that belief (faith) is something God gives.
Romans 12:3 – “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.” (ESV) •Here, Paul speaks of faith being “assigned” or distributed by God.
Hebrews 12:2 – “Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” (ESV) •Jesus is described as the “founder and perfecter” (or author and finisher) of our faith, meaning faith originates from Him.
John 6:44 – “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” (ESV) •This shows that even the ability to believe in Christ requires God’s initiative.
Acts 13:48 – “And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.” (ESV) •Faith is shown as the result of God’s appointment to eternal life.
These verses affirm that faith is not merely a human effort, but something granted, initiated, and sustained by God.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while the concept of “free will” as commonly understood today is not explicitly stated in scripture, the Bible clearly teaches that our choices are influenced by God’s sovereign will. Throughout biblical history, we see that individuals, such as Jonah, Adam, and Pharaoh, made choices that ultimately aligned with or went against God’s plan, with consequences following their actions. Moreover, God’s will is shown to be supreme, as demonstrated in passages like Ephesians 1:3-14 and Romans 8:28-30, where God’s purposes and choices are emphasized as the foundation of salvation. Ultimately, even our ability to believe is a gift from God, demonstrating that human will operates within the framework of God’s overarching sovereignty. Therefore, while we make choices, they occur within the context of God’s divine plan and purpose.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 13:41-43 WEBPB)
The person must first change to receive forgiveness. In the Bible, the word repent means “to change one’s mind”. The Bible also tells us that true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8–14; Acts 3:19). In summarising his ministry, Paul proclaims, “I declared that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance” (Acts 26:20).
Biblical repentance is changing your mind about your sin—no longer is sin something to toy with; it is something to be forsaken as you “flee from the wrath to come” (Matthew 3:7). It is also changing your mind about Jesus Christ—no longer is He to be mocked, discounted, or ignored; He is the trusted Saviour to be clung to in faith; He is the Lord to be obeyed, worshiped and adored.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.” (Luke 13:1-5 WEBPB)
He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble. (Proverbs 28:13-14 WEBPB)
gôy – Pronunciation: go'-ee – Strong’s H1471 BLB (see also Bible Hub). Definition: The Hebrew word “goy” primarily refers to a nation or a group of people. In the Old Testament, it is often used to describe non-Israelite nations, commonly referred to as “Gentiles”. However, it can also refer to the nation of Israel itself, emphasizing the collective identity of a people group (e.g., Genesis 12:2; 17:4-6). The term underscores the idea of a distinct community bound by common cultural, ethnic, or political ties.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles. And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 WEBPB)
“You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:3-6 ESV)
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:23-24 ESV)
Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” (Acts 17:29-31 ESV)
“What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols! Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise! Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it. But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.” (Habakkuk 2:18-20 ESV)
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21 ESV)
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV)
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." (Ephesians 5:11-14 ESV)

Thank you, yes I watch Christian Video Vault quite often. Some excellent documentaries on there, although I often disagree with some of the things being presented. Funnily enough, the first video you linked my wife and I only just finished watching yesterday haha.
Regarding Revelation 13:8, Amen, Jesus has existed from the beginning with the Father (John 1:1-3, 14).
I mass-post in many places, including Reddit/conspiracy. I will check out 9gag though, thank you for the recommendation.
