While He May be Found.

Isaiah 55 tells us a great many things about God. One thing it also teaches us is to Seek the LORD. Jesus tells us to seek the LORD. Philosophers remind us to seek the truth. But Isaiah 55 says, "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

The last part of this text makes a lot of sense. You are to forsake all wickedness. You need to turn from your wicked ways. Think righteous thoughts and follow the LORD. Jesus Christ has died for the forgiveness of sins. The LORD sent his only son having compassion on us. God abundantly pardons all our sins. This is pretty basic. But when is the Lord near to us.

Is the LORD really only going to be around for a short time? Is God only near to us for a short time? How long do we really have? Is God really going to leave us? Jesus tells the Disciples that he will be with them always even to the end of the age. Jesus then proceeds to Ascend into Heaven. God tells us in other places that he will be with us always. God will never forsake his children. I would understand if it was Jesus is only on Earth for a short period, but Isaiah is talking about the LORD.

Jesus left so that he will return. Jesus will come back to Judge the living and the dead. Jesus will come near to us. He calls us to repent of our wicked ways before he forsakes those unbelievers to Everlasting death. Seek the LORD while you can, because when God judges the Living and the dead you have no second chances. Repent and be Baptized. Thank you.

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...
