Job our Father

Just was looking around for something to read, and opened my bible up to Job chapter one. Something struck me as very interesting. Job is the great example of a Father. Most of the time when I think of Job, I think of his righteous deeds and remaining faithful even to the point of near death. Job knows his redeemer lives and never falters in the faith.

But when Job is described before Satan comes and attacks, he is a great Father. He allows his children to party and commit evil, but the next morning he is ready to offer sacrifices for their forgiveness. Whether he knows his children have sinned or not, he offers the sacrifice. He provides for his children, even by trying to protect their eternal soul.

This is a great example of our Father. God is the one who provides the Sacrifice for our sins. He is the one who offers it up even when we do not even know we need it. It does not matter whether we actively sinned or not, because we have all fallen short of the glory of God. God provides us with the Sacrifice of His only Son Jesus Christ.

Job is an example not only for Satan to see the faith of God's people. But God points to Job as an example of a good Father and he treats others in a similar way in which God treats us. Even further down the rabbit hole you will notice Satan attacks Job in a similar way he will try to attack God.

Satan condemns God's people and God will suffer all but Satan will never be able to kill God. Even when Christ dies he rises again. When he rises he is given new children and new flocks. Job a reflection of 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...
