I Believe in God?

There are many Christians out there who say they believe in God. I am also told that all that matters is that I believe in God. Some will even say all that matters is that you have Faith in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior. But the question in my mind is what does that really mean?

I have to ask you is this really enough. I believe in Jesus Christ who died for the people of this world. Does that mean I believe that Jesus was God and Man? Does that mean that he and the Father are one with the Holy Spirit? Who is the God that you must believe in to be saved.

You can simplify your faith to the point where you welcome in all people everywhere. Jesus says the way to hell is wide and I believe that we are starting to get these messages inversed. The way to Heaven is narrow. The way to life everlasting is very narrow. There is only one way. Jesus Christ true God and True Man one with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. But when does our definition of Christianity become too simple or too narrow?

Do you have to believe everything I believe in order to be saved? Do you have to know all the verses of Scripture? Do you have to understand the full counsel of God? No, because that is making requirements. There are no requirements we can live up to for salvation. We all have fallen short of the Glory of God. Our Salvation also must be entirely in God's hands otherwise, we will fail or boast. Thus, we believe him who has revealed himself to us. Some of us have been able to see more or understand more that does not make us anymore saved.

But the more you know, the greater responsibility you have to help keep others from falling into error. You are responsible not for your next door neighbor but to present the full truth to all you come in contact with. If you know that something is wrong it is your duty to speak. It is your duty to explain who you believe in. So make sure you explain that with every bumper sticker and every conversation you have. I do not just believe in Christ or Jesus or God. I believe in Jesus Christ True God and True man who died and rose again to claim me as his very own, and Father Son and Holy Spirit have created redeemed and sanctified me in the true faith for life everlasting with a Bodily resurrection.

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...
