Confession Good for the Soul

Also thinking about the differences in terms. Confession is good for the soul. Confession is used to talk about our Confession of Faith. This word is also used to talk about our confession of sins. Confession really has the main point of profession of a personal statement. This can be a profession of our faith in detailed points. This can also be a profession of our problems or sins.

Confession is good for the Soul. Any time we are able to get things off our chest we can feel better. Any time we can tell people what we truly believe, this is still getting things off our chest. We are able to confess to people who we are. This means I could also confess my status in a community. I can profess all my vocations as well as what I believe about God, and my relationship to God both through my sins and my faith in forgiveness.

Therefore, you can look at a Public Confession of our sins, generally includes the confession that God will have mercy upon us because of Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ is one who we confess to and one we Confess about. This is where the word becomes confusing. Confession of Faith verses Confession of Sins both carry the same idea of a statement concerning both our problems and or truths. Thanks be to God that he allows us to confess our sins and Forgives our sins, this is at least my Confession of Faith concerning the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 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...

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...
