It’s amazing, but once we have this in our minds: “God programs in three dimensions. He programs particles.”, we’re on our way to a better understanding of God and everything He programmed.
As we mentally develop the awareness of God as The Loving Programmer, we can’t help but realize that He programs energies and particles, compiles them into systems and beings, and downloaded them into His vast Creation Program, we see something else: that degree of faith in His power was shared by our ancestors.
Oddly, with computers helping us to see God as The Loving Programmer, and think of ourselves as beloved human programs within The Creation Program, we can relate better to God than those in the generations since the Industrial Revolution.
We can make real progress by keeping two thoughts in our minds: God can program in three dimensions. He programs particles. He compiles them into systems and beings, ranging from angels to turtles, from stars to grains of sand. He writes and downloads us human programs in The Creation Program.
In order to provide us with free will, The Creation Program is written and downloaded in such a way that it’s hard to see that He’s behind it without first letting ourselves be led to believe that He is. To give us free will, He’s unseen.
Fr. Z is, as far as I’m concerned, the most baaencld commentator on Catholic issues of the day. He is so learned on so many things Catholic.I, too, was pleased to see his post recommending your LF-TT blog, Mary Ann!
Great minds……Catechist Kevin
BlogSlave: You’re a LAUGH-A-MINUTE!Without accepting the Pope as the head of the chcurh you have nothing!! You know the scriptures as well as do I, so it doesn’t do any good here, for arguments sake, to quote them. Your Catholic instructional experience in the Roman Catholic Faith sounds like a comic-strip: a laugh-a-minute! Who taught you your catechism fallen-away-Catholics?? Did you ever think to ask a priest your questions when you went to confession? You would not have been told, That’s the rule! , inside the confessional. The priest would have honestly addressed your concerns using intelligent and logical answers. Just always remember, Christ was not a whimp: He offered the rich young man heaven if he go sell what you have, give it to the poor, and come follow me. This was a hard saying, and the young man turned and walked away. Christ didn’t chase after him and say, Oh, I’m sorry, let me see if I can change my rules in order to make you feel better so then you will come & follow me .
