In the past, Col 1:15-20 was one of the most mystifying passages in The Bible. Now, Catholic Fundamentalism sees how easily it fits when seen from the perspective of our own age and our computer technology.
“Brothers and sisters: Christ Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in Him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
It was very hard for those in earlier ages to understand that.
It makes more sense to us, in our time, nearer the end of The Age. We simply see God The Father as “The Loving Programmer”. We see The Son as “The Program”. We, whose programs are written in “the image of The Loving Programmer”, have within our own minds the capacity to store vast information about The Creation Program. The Creation Program was written by The Loving Programmer, The Program is all there is.
Catholic Fundamentalism goes on to respectfully suggests that we consider the mystifying “For in Him were created all things in heaven and on earth,” has a logical explanation more understandable to us in our time than ever: Jesus is The Program. He took human form, was born of Mary, and came to earth.
When we see The Father as The Loving Programmer, and Son as The Program, look how simple the rest of the once-mystifying passage is: “He is the head of the Body, the Church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He Himself might be preeminent. 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.”
So, we may see The Father as “The Loving Programmer”, The Son as “The Program”, but how do we understand The Holy Spirit?
It is respectfully suggested that we consider visualizing The Holy Spirit not as The Loving Programmer or as The Program, but as” The Verb, Programming.
This is how we go about explaining The Three in One tie together, separate but one: Programmer, Program, Programming.
