A Medical Thriller
Follow Dr Faith Pernitelli, a fresh medical school graduate, as she starts her training in Ob-Gyn, motivated, excited, and eager to become an excellent obstetrician. Her marriage to a high-risk obstetrics specialist is in shambles, romantic advances come from a co-worker, and her landlord forces her to move. The COVID pandemic turns life upside down. Challenged by her patients' critical illnesses and deaths, the threat of the virus to herself and her colleagues, and her husband's turbulent struggle with fentanyl washes over her. Can she land on her feet? Who will survive and who will die?
Man lives on a timeline in a Physical World where time governs all aspects of our lives. We don’t determine when we are born or when we die, we can’t speed time up, slow it down, or reverse it. Events in our lives happen in a fixed sequence, we can’t see the future, and we can only be one place at a time.
God has no timeline, is outside of time, and is not confined to time. The Spiritual Realm has no clock or calendar. God has always existed and will always exist. God has no beginning and no end. He is everywhere all the time.
Take a Deep Dive into the scriptures to see why this is true, how the differences explain confusing passages of scripture, and see communication conduits between the Physical World with time and the Spiritual Realm without it.
This rigorous Bible study, with more than 400 scriptural footnotes, will open your eyes and bring you closer to God. So grab your Bible and enjoy the read.
God exists in the Spiritual Realm, a digital dominion of yes and no, black and white, or 1 and 0 much like our computers. Either you are for Him or against Him, either your name is in the Book of Life or it isn’t, either you believe in the Holy Spirit or you don’t. There is no middle ground.
Man lives in the analog Physical World, a temporary creation which will eventually end. We use measurements, locations, and comparisons in daily life. We make the punishment fit the crime, and we compete with each other for status, wealth, and fame. We know no other way of life.
Using more than 400 scripture references, this book contrasts God in the Spiritual Realm to Man in the Physical World. Come closer to God by taking a deep dive into scripture to reveal this dichotomy.
Imagine what Heaven (the Spiritual Realm) looks like. Scripture gives us hints, but describes it in words, which belong to humans on earth (the Physical World), and for that reason is limited. Additionally, we only know the Physical World, only know time, gravity, location and speed, which limits our ability to understand the Spiritual Realm which lacks all those things.
Jesus only gave us hints about the Spiritual Realm. To form a twenty-first century understanding, we need to read between the lines, look at corroborating scriptures in both testaments, and then use our brains to create an image.
In this detailed analysis of over 400 scripture references we find that not only does the Spiritual Realm not have time, distance, location, or size, but also has no genders. After all, gender’s purpose is only for reproduction in the Physical World. Gender does not create our spirits (souls), did not create the Christ (but did create a human named Jesus), and therefore serves no purpose in the Spiritual Realm.
