Two hard passages in Hebrews support the Catholic Fundamentalism description of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as The Loving Programmer, Program, and Programming.
Don’t get mad until you’ve actually read this! Some, particularly close-minded Protestants, are actually outraged as they demand to know “What is the point of that?”
The point is that right now, a few billion people in the world are more familiar with computers than with Catholic theology. When we help them realize, “Once we describe Catholic theology with Computer-Age terminology, instead of using words from the Iron Age, The Catholic Church makes more sense than anything! Jesus Christ may be seen as The Program, Who took perfect human form to save those who would let their soul, the essence of each precious human program, be purified and restored by He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies!”
Heb 1:1-6 is hard: “Brothers and sisters: In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he spoke to us through the Son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe, who is the refulgence of his glory, the very imprint of his being, and who sustains all things by his mighty word.”
Now, read that with Computer-Age words: “In times past, The Loving Programmer gave previews of coming downloads to a few human programs; in these last days, He provided direct information. His Actual Program took human form, was given all things and through whom He created The Creation Program, who is the refulgence of His glory the very imprint of His being, and who sustains all things by His mighty power to program self-sustaining entities and systems in The Creation Program.”
Because The Program let Himself be erased and restored, He allowed all to choose to obey His great instruction, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”, to be forgiven and freed from all corrupting errors. The Program, still in human form, is now next to The Loving Programmer, as far superior to the Programming Assistants (“angels”, in the Iron Age) as the name He has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the Programming Assistants did God ever say: You are my Beloved Program; this day I have written and downloaded you? Or again: I will be a Programmer to Him, and He shall be The Wholeness of My Beloved Creation Program? And again, when He leads the first born into the world, He says: Let all the Programming Assistants of God worship Him.”

1 Hebrews 2: 5-12 also cries out for words from the Computer Age to help those who know nothing of Catholicism: “For it was fitting that He, for Whom and through Whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering. He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin.”
It is a joy to re-translate the Iron Age Words and discover that “He, for Whom and through Whom all things exist” is described far more meaningfully to moderns as “The Program took human form so that those who obeyed The Operating Instructions could get to Heaven.”
We quickly see why The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit may be better understood by those more familiar with computers than Catholicism as The Loving Programmer, Program, and Programming. All Three were necessary to write and download The Creation Program, possibly using what we may imagine as 3-D pixels, compiled into systems and beings and making a set where each of us plays a starring role as we decide what character we will act.
Catholicisms is more easily understood from the point of view that Jesus is The Creation Program, that He took human form, came among us, and left One Church to provide the opportunity for each human program to believe and obey sufficiently to spend eternity with The Loving Programmer, the Fullness of The Program, and the Holy Wireless Connector in joy otherwise unobtainable forever. We attain that by downloading His Body and Blood in Catholic Communion.
To gain eternal and everlasting joy by having our soul uploaded to Programming HQ (“Heaven”, in Iron-Age words), we human programs have to make the right decisions on earth. To be saved, we must choose to believe and obey The Operating Instructions downloaded for us in Church and Scripture.

Thank you for considering. We want to be able to give unbelievers a Brief History of The First Programming Sessions:
The most complicated sub-Program in the early Creation Program was the Adam Program. It was modified and joined by the Eve Program. Those two beloved sub-Programs were programmed and downloaded with the ability to replicate future human programs (children) within the larger Creation Program. The Creation Program had been previously written and downloaded for the precise purpose of giving each human program ample opportunities to freely make the necessary choices to be saved.
Since every human program must be free to choose belief or apostasy, The Creation Program has within it all that each of us need to make choices. It has layers of sedimentary rock, for instance. We can choose to believe they are billions of years old, or that they were laid down by The Big Program Upgrade known in the Iron Age as “The Flood”. Within the layers is a fossil record. Each is free to believe them to be ancient, or that they simply reflect which animals sank first in that Flood.
The Creation Program has distant galaxies. We may freely choose to think they are billions of years old. Or, we can with equal validity believe that The Loving Programmer had His Angelic Programming Assistants copy and paste countless galaxy programs as far as we could see. Why? The Creation Program exists to provide us with free will.
Jesus, The Creation Program in human form, left us with the choices. He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies also left us with One Church and Sacraments to help us make the right decisions to be saved by obeying His most frequent Operating Instruction, repeated a dozen times in the passages between John 6:33-66, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
