Absolute Fiction!

Is there Absolute truth? Most people will tell you there is nothing you can know absolutely. Well I would ask you what your name is? But you would give some argument about relative truth. You may even talk about references to nicknames. You may take me someplace else.

The old illustration of saying there is no Absolute truth. Then someone coming back will how do you know that there is no Absolute truth. You can not say there is no Aboslute truth without being an Absolute truth. But is there another way to talk about Absolute truth?

I think there is. Someone once told me that Hitler was evil. Someone else told me that Mother Teressa was good. How can I determine whether these statements are true? Are these statements only true for the person who stated them? Do these statements apply to the world?

I think if I took a straw poll I would find more people that agree with these statements than disagree. I think this means that there is a determining factor. All old women are good, and all Germans with a tiny mustache are evil. These statements could be correct based on this information. But I am guessing that you may know people that do not fit these categories.

Hitler is not evil because he is Austrian. Mother Teressa is not good because she was a young lady once. Hitler was evil because of the way he lead the German people to War and lead to the death of a lot of people. Mother Teressa is good because she spread the word of God and the mercy of God to many different Countries. These statements may fit better into our Categories.

But in order for me to determine this, I need to judge them in relation to some standard. This standard can not be in direct relationship to only these figures but in relationship to all things which are good or evil. The standard can not be relative or subjective because we see that most people would agree and it has to be applied equally to both parties. I find this very interesting to say that there is Absolute Truth. This standard by which they are judged must be an Absolute truth. This standard then can be applied to you or me or anyone else in history. Think about the people like: Emperor Palpatine, Napoleon, Judas, King David, Julius Caesar, or Bill Clinton. How many of these people are evil and how many are Good? Are you not going to use the same Absolute truth you used with Hitler and Mother Teressa.

Hopefully you can see that there are Absolute truths in this world. If you need further proof think of the Laws of Mathematics. Sin Law, Cosin Law, Pythagorean Theorem, and others help to illustrate that they are prove to be true.

Thank you for reading this.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

The Death of the Holy Innocents

Many people die for what they believe in. Some die for righteous people. But these chosen few die on behalf of the one who will save us all. These children have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. But these children die on account of the Christ Child. Many people have been martyred because they confessed the faith. These children did not stand or even get a chance to stand. They were cut down because they were seen as the threat to King Herod. Rachael mourns for her children. Rachael died giving life to Benjamin near Bethlehem. Rachael now weeps as all the children of this town are slaughtered. But just as Rachael died giving birth to life. These children die to protect the Christ Child who left the town and will die to give all of us life. St Peter once said that he would not allow Christ to go to the cross. St Peter drew his sword in the garden to die for Christ. But only these Children truly give their life for Jesus Christ to live. Their sacrifice should b...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
