The Coming of the Holy One

Advent is a season of waiting for the coming of the Christ. The First Advent of the Holy One is considered at the Birth of our Lord and through his life on earth. The Second Advent of the Holy One is considered to come on the final day of Judgment. But one should also remember that Christ has never left his holy people.

God came to his beloved Job and came to Abraham those who believed in him. God came to his people while they were in the Land of Egypt and sent them a great prophet and leader Moses to mediate for him. God then used his judges to mediate to the people his divine reign over them. When they rejected his reign and rule he allowed them to have a King like other Nations. There God placed his beloved on the Throne, namely King David. God reigned along with the Kings over the people. But finally he would bring the reign of David which would last forever with his own reign in his beloved Son Jesus Christ.

Christmas is a Celebration of the coming of the Holy One of God. The Holy One of God is the one foretold to us by the prophets. Therefore, it is of great note how much detail is used to remind us that Jesus does fulfill these passages from the Old Testament or Law and the Prophets.

The Prophets do not call the Christ the Messiah but they tend to call him the Holy One of God. The Holy One also again refers to God himself. Therefore, we must remind ourselves this is a celebration of the Holy One coming to his people. It is not only important for God to come to his people, but also that comes to bring Salvation to his people.

Sometimes these celebrations can take background to the birth of a Child. But this is not just any Child and not just any birth. The Child which is born is the Holy One of God. This Child is not just one who will die for his people. He is our leader and King. This is the Holy One who will die for his people but is also God himself. The Christ Child is both born of a virgin as Man and Conceived by the Holy Spirit and true God.

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...
