Death starts the Celebration!

Before the opening ceremonies of the Olympics there was a tragic death. Nodar Kumaritashvili a Luger from the Republic of Georgia. This is pretty much all I know. I read the report off of Yahoo.com. I was not even able to watch the beginning of the opening ceremonies. I have actually just started to watch them. The report states that he died during a practice run in which he was going really fast.

But I am not a news writer. I am simply reporting what I have read. This death comes just hours before the opening ceremonies began in Vancouver Canada. But yet the celebration must go on. The Disciples celebrating the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. I did go there. A Death on the verge of the Passover. Or a Death of the Passover. The one who dies and brings sadness to the hearts of the Disciples. Jesus dies on the verge of the Celebration. But his death like all death is not to be mourned.

Now if you want to cry at someones death. You should face your personal grief but it should only be over the separation from that person. Jesus died and three days later he rose again. We celebrate his resurrection every Sunday with the Entire Church. The celebration continues as we remember his death and his resurrection. We celebrate the feast of Victory. We celebrate with all who have come before us.

The Olympics can remind us of a celebration not just with people around the world, but even those who went before us. We watch athletes strive for Gold as other Athletes now dead have tried for Gold. They strive for the Victory. They strive for the Crown. But in Christ the Victory is won. His death is celebrated because through his death we live.

Here we find the world celebrating together for a change. We find us all united. But the truth is we are only united in competition. But upon Christ's return the Victory will be given to all who believe. Christ will bring our dead bodies out of the grave and unite them with our souls in heaven. This is the Resurrection of the Body and the life everlasting. God will unite his people together as one with him for eternity. 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...

Gettysburg of Abortion (South Dakota)

Letter From Dr. Allen Unruh, This one of the most important appeal letters you will have received in a long time regarding the ultimate issue – Human Life. I want to explain why! Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the state of South Dakota this last week. They are claiming the new South Dakota House Bill 1217 law is the greatest threat to abortion in the country and will set the stage for the beginning of the end of abortion as we know it. They are ignoring the language of the legistlation signed by our governor and spinning different meaning to the language of the legislation to deceive the American public. Their intent is to demonize and destroy the Alpha Center in South Dakota in any way possible while ignoring the testimony of women who were victims of their deception and what really goes on in their abortuaries. I watched the documentary, "Gettysburg," this past Memorial Day weekend. Gettysburg was the battleground that turned the tide of the Civil War and e...

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...
