Something someone said to me a few days ago motivated me to write this blog on laminin. No names will be mentioned but I am hoping to get a point across to this person or to any other person who may be having the same thoughts he is having.
Just to make things a little less complicated, we will call him Joe. Now Joe is absolutely correct with stating that 1. God is all powerful. 2. God is all-knowing. 3. God is benevolent. However Joe believes (and this is straight from the source):
"If there is a repeated situation, if god does not act in the same way, that means that he fails one of the three criteria, which is the foundation of the existence of a philosophical god. If he were all knowing, all powerful, etc. he would act in the way that is best in each situation. If the situations were repeated, he would act the same way. If he didn't, that means that he is not all knowing. If he is not all knowing, that means that he is not all powerful (because the ability to be wrong would imply that there is a limit on his abilities), and if he is not all powerful, then he is not by definition a god. "
All I could think to do was ask God to give me words of wisdom and truth to pass on to Joe. I think I did fairly well with explaining that God has His reasons for everything. And that no situation is identical anyways. There will be even the smallest difference in there somewhere and that changes everything. God works for the best of those individuals involved. I told him that I am currently reading the Bible and have not crossed an instance where God has changed His mind about something. But if I were to cross that in scripture, I know that my God does everything for our best, and our faith and trust in Him is the key. No matter the circumstance. He holds us together, in every part of our lives. I told Joe that trying to understand Gods ways is out of the question. If you're trying to understand Gods ways, give up. :) Because we aren't suppose to understand God. That's all a matter of trust and faith in Him. It all shows how magnificent He is!
I did fail to mention laminin to him. It didn't even cross my mind until later. LAMININ is PROOF! Laminin is, to me, the best proof pertaining to scripture that I know of. Laminin is proof that God holds us together, just like He says He will...in Colossians 1:17!
Colossians 1:17 says this:"He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."
Now it is amazing what the function of this little molecule is...laminin is responsible for holding all of our body structures together...basically, it is the rebar (glue) of our body's...
But what is most amazing is actually what laminin looks like, or the sight of it. So I guess I should show you a picture of laminin...
CRAZY, HUH!? It looks like a cross! God indeed kept His promise with holding us together. :) I will always and forever trust and have faith in my God. He keeps His promises. And all I can tell Joe is that God works in mysterious ways! Understanding God...ehhh, not gonna happen. Sorry. Just let faith and trust step in! God is amazing! Laminin. Laminin. Laminin. Laminin. Laminin :)
