Laminin and God

There comes a time when I see something amazing and someone else challenges it and I try to defend what I believe in. This time…it’s Laminin.

Laminin is a protein molecule in our bodies. It is a very useful molecule because it holds everything in us together; our organs, our skin etc. So why does this little protein molecule matter to me? I’ll show you.

Laminin

This molecule is in the shape of the cross of my Lord Jesus Christ. Now, before anyone starts bashing me and claiming it is NOT in the shape of a cross and instead this is used quite often in the medical field as Caduceus. It is from the Greek Mythological God Staff of Hermie’s because, as a fellow YouTuber, pageboythehumanist, has informed me, the cross does not have spirals on it. So I thought about how I could convince people of why Laminin is in the shape of the cross and not the Staff of Hermie’s. And I came up with this theory:

There is proof in the Holy Bible that Jesus holds us together: “[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by [Jesus] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by [Jesus] and for [Jesus]. He is before all things, and in [Jesus] all things hold together” (Colossians 1: 15 – 17 the New International Version of the Holy Bible). God made humans in the image of Himself. Of course there is going to be some sign in the human body that God made us: Laminin. But that’s not it. The Bible goes on to say : “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in [Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through [Jesus'] blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1: 19 – 20).

My third proof also comes from the bible and it always saying that God is three in one: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Now, notice that in the Laminin diagram there are three stands making the whole Laminin molecule: the A1 strand, the B1 strand, and the B2 strand. I have related the intertwining of the B1 and the B2 strands with A1 being that the A1 strand is God and that B1 is Jesus and that B2 is the Holy Spirit. Since God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one being; these three strands make up one molecule, working together to make Laminin. Laminin…represents the Holy Trinity: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

My fourth idea is this: Caduceus is used in medical fields in which healing needed. Jesus Christ heals our broken souls, our hearts, our minds, our bodies. We, are simply a crumpled up piece of paper which can never be perfectly flat again. But Jesus takes us, molds us to His will, making us that perfectly flat piece of paper we were designed to be.

The Father,The Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit holds us together, He healed us from our sins because He died on the cross for us. Laminin shows ALL of this inside our bodies, holding us together. It’s not because of some Greek God…it’s because of my Lord and Savior: Jesus Christ.

Love is Love

A man and a woman; a woman and a woman; a man and a man. We see it and hear about it everyday in the form of questions, taunts and proclamations. We always hear about why it’s not allowed, why it’s ‘gross’ and ‘disgusting.’ How it’s ‘wrong’ and ‘not right.’ We always look at these sort of situations as negative, something to be thrown in the trash. But what we never look at is their side of the story. We never want to find out how they are feeling. What if we were in their shoes? How would we react? Well this is their story. This is my story.

Say you found the love of your life, but they were the same sex as you. You hide from your parents and family members, friends, people at school, teachers, team mates, so on and so forth, who you really are. You can’t go on dates, can’t show PDA (public display of affection) like holding hands, hugging, quick kisses on the cheek. You have to hide your MSN name and Facebook wall posts. No mushy words traded in the halls all because of what people will think of you, say to you and maybe do to you.

Now…let’s put in something even more draining. You were born, raised and taught in a Christian home. You have followed Christ your entire life until now. What do you do? Your God has shunned you, saying that this is a sin. Your parents would be mortified if they found out. You now have nobody to turn to. All alone, except for your boyfriend/girlfriend. So many emotions could be coursing through you at once right now. Anger for the people who shunned you, depression because you’ve lost your friends and family, and appreciation for your boyfriend/girlfriend because at least they haven’t left you because the both of you are in the same outcast boat. You can’t even turn to God, who says you can ask Him for anything. What are you suppose to ask? “God please forgive me for I have sinned. I can’t help it. I love this person so much.” Do you really think that’s appropriate right now? I don’t think so…

So what do you do? What other choice do you have then to hide yourself? Or you could be really brave like I am doing and say to yourself “I don’t care what you people think. Love is love.”

Listen…All I’m trying to say is that there is always more than meets the eye. People can be too quick to judge homosexuals. People don’t know what ridicule they have to go through every single day. It’s draining and heart breaking. So before you think ‘Wow, they’re gay?’ put yourself in their shoes and try to imagine the pain they are going through every day.
