Catholic Fundamentalists try to explain The Holy Trinity in terms suitable for our age. Once we understand that God can program particles and compile them into systems and beings, we describe The Father as The Loving Unprogrammed Programmer. We see The Son as The Program in Perfect, Obedient Human form, and The Holy Spirit as The Holy Wireless Connector, joining Programmer to Program and programmed entities. Today’s reading. Col. 1;15-20, shows why we believe as we do:
“Brothers and sisters:
Christ Jesus is the image (The Program) of the invisible God, (The Unprogrammed Programmer)
the firstborn of all creation. (The first thing programmed was The Program.)
For in Him (The Program) were created (programmed) all things in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; (The spirits, also, were programmed entities.)
all things were created through Him (The Living Program) and for Him.
He (The Living Program in all His perfection) is before all things (programmed entities),
and in Him all things hold together (for all programmed entities are organized within The Program).
He is the head of the Body, the Church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, (According to the New Operating Instructions that He personally downloaded, precisely on a schedule predicted by the Prophets, and gave access to The Source Code by His obedience.)
that in all things He Himself might be preeminent. (Everything in The Program is subordinate to Him.)
For in Him all the fullness was pleased to dwell,
and through Him to reconcile all things for Him,
making peace by the Blood of His cross
through Him, whether those on earth or those in heaven.”
