The Theology of Biology: War & Peace at the Molecular Level - Paperback

by Emuel Paul Kirbas (Author)

Are you ready to tread where none have ever gone before? Are you ready to knuckle down and endeavor to identify and to appreciate those things that our awesome God has prepared for us? Let's face it. Scientists, theologians, teachers of the Word, lawyers, doctors, senators, presidents, and potentates have all failed to recognize and to consider that when the Bible speaks to us, it really speaks to our biology! We are all biological creatures! We act and react to what excites our cellular DNA molecules. After all, we live in both a theological and a biological world, and somewhere down the line the two are bound to intersect and bind into one unified whole. What do you see when you look at the front cover of this book? First you will see an image that resembles the DNA molecule, with its notable helical twist that extends from the top of the page to the bottom, with two side rails and connecting rods. Every living person on the planet has these molecules of life embedded in each cell of his or her body. Without it, we are dead. With it, we are at liberty to soar to heights unknown. There is also a passage in the Biblical book of Genesis where Jacob, grandson of Abraham, is sleeping under a tree, dreaming about a ladder extending from heaven to earth: "And behold the angels of God ascending and descending upon it; and the Lord stood above it"; possibly alluding to, I believe, the DNA molecule as described above! This has come to be known as Jacob's Ladder where Jesus, the Son of man, said: "Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man", referring back to the Old Testament to Job's perplexing desire to find a certain Person, a daysman, who, with his one hand, would place it upon man, and with the other, to place it upon God, binding together the two, in order to reestablish the link of communication between God and man, a Mediator, a One who can plead our cause before God: "Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both." Your author is adamant in identifying this divine/human Person as Jesus, qualified to lay His hands on both of us, to restore the relationship that was severed in the Garden of Eden. God stands above the molecule, performing His transforming work upon the human soul; the Son below bestowing blessings upon man, restored at Calvary; and angels as messengers, coming and going between heaven and earth, to assist the Holy Spirit in His ministry to each of us. This is what this book is about, tracing our lives from when we were naturally born to when we were spiritually reborn. A revival! A regeneration! A new life!
