Evangelical Apologist Hank Hanegraaff Converts to Eastern Orthodoxy
Posted by: Rob Bowman
On Palm Sunday, April 9, 2017, Hank Hanegraaff formally joined the Orthodox Church. Since 1989 Hanegraaff has been the President of the Christian Research Institute (CRI) and (since ca. 1992) the host of CRIs Bible Answer Man radio program.[1] Hank, his wife Kathy, and two of their twelve children were inducted by a sacramental rite called chrismation into the Orthodox faith at St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, near where CRI is based. In chrismation, a baptized individual is anointed with oil in order to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.[2]

Thinking about that led to the thought that, other than within realm of the theoretical, there's no such thing as circle?
They may look like circles, but if measured minutely enough -- not quite exactly equidistant here, and here too, and just a littlest smidgen right there...
I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine that not even electrons hold a pure (orb) circle for very long, since by nature they're so jiggly.
That's putting too fine of an edge to it, I admit.
It's like trying to drag concept of a circles into in other theoretical realms, then wandering around with them, attempting to try them for size on stuff that has component of velocity --which makes it impossible. It won't hold still long enough to be able to slap a test gauge on "it". It's a rigged game, I tell ya'...
Factor in there being an ever-so-slight trembling shakiness to even the steadiest of human hands, and I give up.
Reminds me of a story allegedly coming from among a Native American Indian tribe, who when doing bead work on moccasins or what-have-you, would purposefully introduce some noticeable if but slight flaw into the pattern, doing so in acknowledgement there be only One --the Creator--- whom possess perfection.
I don't know if it's a true story, but it appeals to my own senses of reality.
Yeah. I had some other thoughts about it, but this is not the place — stay cool. Thanks for responding.
Electrons are even worse. Their orbits are described as probability functions, and only a few of the orbits can be described as spherical.
Stupid, even thugh I've taken partial differential equations and matrix algebra and tensor analysis. Never quite got the idea if finite element analysis, though.
match, not math
Yes, that's what I thought.
But for better or worse (smarter, or plain ignorant dumber) I wasn't thinking of electrons obits so much as what shapes electrons themselves may have, while imagining (possibly wrongly) them to be somewhat spherical in the shape of area any one particular electron would occupy.
That's far out (of my league). Seriesly.
To me, that stuff is like hearing about a world champion sport's team -- on, and from another world.One I'd hardly ever heard of until just now doing a word search (and dimly recalling having come across mention of it before, and had glanced at it then as just now -- only momentarily).
I imagine that stuff could be useful for going after that last possible edge of definition? Mathematically expressed anyway.
This may be vain pondering, but thinking about the shape of things...got me to wondering about 'shape' of an electron.
What if a single electron could be isolated from everything, every other electrical potentiality, or 'charge'? Could it even exist might be the first question to be solved. And hoo-boy, just now as writing this I wondered; if one could coax an isolated electron into collapsing in upon itself -- then what? but that's beside the other pointless point I was otherwise wondering about...
If one electron could be isolated (and not collapse) would it assume a perfectly round spherical shape?
After I figure out how to isolate one single hydrogen atom, and then split off the theoretical "one" electron, I'll let you know. Estimated project completion date...what was that number again, that you posted in comment 432? No need to fetch it, but that's about as good an estimated year date, after taking stock of what tools are on hand, that I presently have a handle on...
BD, try this one on: the electron may not be fully in our spacetime, such as we are ‘sensing’ the ‘shadow imprint’ in our spacetime from an item existing more in a different spacetime.
I applies to us all; I think.
I think I asked what Rome teaches about them.
1. Bible says that FLESH and BLOOD will NOT inherit the kingdom of GOD.
2. No where in the book that Rome assembled are the two ever described as DYING.
3. ERGO; if ya ain't dead; ya ain't gonna get no GLORIFIED body.
4. Yeah; that put Rome's Mary in a quandary; doesn't it!
5. Now it's your turn to put Rome's spin on it all.
But it did.
Now then; is you the forgivin' type or is you ain't?

Therfore; she did NOT need to be saved or get 'born again' to get a GLORIFIED body; since hers was (we've been told) born immaculately.
I think that James had something to say about that:
James 2:8-128 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself,[a] you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, You shall not commit adultery,[b] also said, You shall not murder.[c] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 3:1-2
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
James 4:11-12
11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[d] or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But youwho are you to judge your neighbor?
Those that understand binary numbers and those that don't.
Only if the flux capacitor is slighty more than 50% charged.
Otherwise the tractor beam coherence will vary too much and the teleporter will malfunction.
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Hints of:
"It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these;
but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figuresantitypes of the true;
but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:" (Heb 9:23-24 AV).
Are you suggesting that the electron on earth is but a shadow--a type--of some other antitype entity in the Heavenly dimensioning system?

(Hmmm. What then is dark matter, accounted as a very real thing, eh?)
Think Hanegraaff of Creation Research Institute had this all figured out? If so, then what is the oil needed for to "give him the Holy Spirit"?
The electron ‘presence may only be the footprint of resonance between two differing spacetime coordinate systems.
1 - without time, events do not occur;2 - without space a thing does not exist in the Universe God has Created.
The moment we are transformed, we will still be in the Created Universe, so our being will have spacetime reality, but of such nature that we will be as invisible as the being who wrote on the wall of Palace Party Central (see Daniel 5).
