Yeah,

There’s a loving way to tell people that they need to know how to teach a Bible passage without sinning but I’m not one of them.

Hey guys, I just found out that the Jesus protein isn’t always up to good in your body, read this-

“Under the direction of neurosurgeon Keith L. Black, M.D., chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai and director of the institute, the research teams have compiled a series of “firsts” over the past decade. They recently: … Found that laminin-411, a protein that is synthesized by tumor cells and deposited in newly formed tumor blood vessels, is over-expressed in human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Subsequently, the researchers found they could reduce a tumor’s ability to invade neighboring tissue by blocking the expression of laminin-411, and they identified over-expression of laminin-411 as a predictor of tumor grade and potential for recurrence, as well as patient length of survival.”

I am substituting today at a Christian School in Salem, Oregon for a Science teacher. We watched Louie’s message in EVERY class! I cried the 1st and 2nd time I have yet to watch it 4 more times with the next 4 classes. What a blessing today the Lord gave me to see this! Last night I was looking at the moon. 5/18/08 and there were “rays” coming off it in the form of a cross… It’s as if Yahweh our God is trying to show us from the Heavens, “LOOK UP” it’s ALL about the Cross and what Messiah did for us. It’s in our being…. When the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, they were camped in the form of a cross with the tabernacle in the middle!
Can we get a clue? Awesome doesn’t come close to what YAWEH is……..

Our pastor loves to tell us about how “science catches up with the Bible”, and he pointed out that the earth and everything on it, humans included, were in a perfect state—BEFORE the Fall. AFTER the Fall, Death entered the world, and as a result, natural physical chemical changes would have taken place. So in response to “Did He alter our chemistry after the fact?” I could say “Yes” and “No”–”Yes”, God altered human chemistry after the fact of the Fall, NOT of the Crucifixion. Remember, the first Messianic Scripture is Genesis 3:15–God planned for our salvation long ago.

Which came first the Laminin or the cross?

You are saying God made Laminin to look like a cross, but man, with all of his Laminin was on Earth before Christ. The cross may have been intentionally paralleled to another one of God’s creatios, Laminin.

In everything, we are to acknowledge Him, so it really doesn’t matter if it was intentional or not. We often use paralles to teach or children intangible ideas. Jesus was infamous for “paralleling” in His teachings.

Lamimin is not a sin, God created it, so observe what you will from it. But, BEWARE of any idea derived from man. If it is not laid out in the Bible, it is not of great value.

I think it’s way cool that Laminin–the stuff that holds us together–is the shape of a cross, which beared the Man who holds us together. It is not the be-all end-all of the Christian faith, by any means, but I definitely think it’s cool, and possibly more than mere coincidence.

The part of this original article that caught my eye the most, though, was at the end, where Mudpuppy (?) states, “…thinking that God designed it that way on purpose leads me to believe that he expected man to fall at the very start, making the cross necessary. Did he know all along?”

I apologize if someone has tackled this question already, but in short–YES. There is no way I can explain all the paradoxes and go into significant detail, but even though God gives us free will, and even though God can and does intervene directly in our lives when we call on His name, God knew our actions from the very beginning. This is not easy to believe, because it means he knew that that man over there would become an alcoholic, and that that woman would suffer in an abusive relationship for 10 years before she got help, and that thousands would die in skyscrapers overrun by terrorists, etc. I am not here to explain why He lets that happen because we will never fully know until we reach Heaven.

BUT–what I can declare with certainty is that God is sovereign. Scripture declares that “God ordained or willed or planned everything that happens in our world from before creation, from before time began.” (Mark R. Talbot, from Suffering and the Sovereignty of God)

In Rev. 13:8, “John writes, ‘all who dwell on earth will worship [the beast], everyone whose name has not been written BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.’ That is a good, literal translation. This means that before the world was created there was a book called The Book of Life of the Lamb That Was Slain. The Lamb is Jesus Christ crucified. The book is the book of Jesus Christ crucified. Therefore, before God made the world he had in view Jesus Christ slain, and he had in view a people purchased by his blood written in the book. Therefore, the suffering of Jesus was not an afterthought, as though the work of creation did not go the way God planned. Before the foundation of the world God had a book called The Book of Life of the Lamb That Was Slain. The slaying of the Lamb was in view BEFORE the work of creation began.” (John Piper, from Suffering and the Sovereignty of God.)

In short, God didn’t make a mistake. He knew Adam and Eve would fall, and He knew He would have to crucify His Son to reconcile us to Him–all before He even created the world.

Does this idea go beyond your typical understanding? Probably. I highly recommend reading the book I quoted, entitled Suffering and the Sovereignty of God. The first three chapters are especially good.
