I made you a witness

I have been reading through Isaiah 55. Isaiah says, "Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you." The LORD God made Jesus or David to be a witness to the Children of God. He was going to be their leader and commander in a Military Battle. Thus, all the hearers are lead to other nations. Foreign nations who the children do not know will come running to hear. The LORD God and Jesus the Holy One has been glorified in our lives. He has been glorified for our Forgiveness.

One could say we glorify God by our Faith and the Forgiveness we receive. We also glorify God by living in our new creation. We also could take part in Christ being raised from the dead reflects our new life. There are a few different points that are made in the simple passage. The Church militant fights for the glory of God. They fight for the truth concerning God to be spread. These Children of God follow their leader into battle against Satan and his minions. The Church Militant also fights against false teachings. This is why you should always check your sources.

When the Church militant fights against those who would lead people into temptation we bear witness to Christ. Just like the army that goes into battle with its banner. We go into the world with the Light of Christ his banner over me. Therefore, the children of God call to the nations. The Children of God bear witness to all people. This can even be a witness to people you do not know. Foreigners who are not known will still run to the church. Maybe even people I do not know are reading this.

God makes Christ a witness to the people on earth. Christ becomes man in order to witness to us. Though not just to bear witness to humanity. God still chooses to glorify his children through his Son's death and Resurrection. Hope you find this helpful.

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...
