The ressurection of the dead reading we went over in class got me thinking about what exactly was being said in the text. The meaning of course is relative to the reader, but this is what I got out of it.
“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those that have fallen asleep.”, firstfruits can be defined as the first results in a undertaking, the undertaking being death and result being the resurrection. “…all die, so in Christ all will be made alive…” is subsequently stated in the letter meaning that when one dies he is also made alive in the body of Christ. Later it is said that the end will come when all of Christ’s enemies are “under his feet” or destroyed, the enemies being: dominion, authority, power, and finally death, all of which are human constructs. So what I hear when I read this is that when all humans are with Christ (or dead) we are all finally one and there is no longer a limit to what is real and not real. The limit comes from ones static views of existence, which come from our inability to create but innate desire to understand as fact. Reading this caused me to visualize this idea of oneness, as a fraction that I believe is quite apt. 1[god]/(Christ or # of souls with christ)/(# of souls total)). So with this approximation the end or lastfruit is when god is made whole and “God may be all in all”, as it was before man was created, when the fraction also equaled one. So this made me think about what had happened to god when man was created. Before man god was able to created matter from nothing and because man is a part of god the creation of man caused the fraction to no longer equal one. Hence God lost his power to create and gave the power to manipulate and understand (hands and eyes) to his children, and it is only after oneness is once again established will god regain his power to create, the world as an objective object will cease to exist, for when there is nobody to see the world then does it exist. If no then it seems the cycle must repeat anew.
I know it’s a tangent but I think I made some good points

We live during interesting time when it is possible to communicate with all world, you you are independent in what country are, what religion проповедуешь, how old are you. In virtual space it has no value. Certainly not all so is ideal, as it it would be desirable. In fact you actually do not know, who sits on that party(side) of a computer. It would be desirable to wish, that it is that person for whom it(he) gives out itself(himself). The world without borders as it is fine. In fact here it is possible to build any attitudes(relations). I dream, that my international business with corporation Intvej reached worldwide. I dream to communicate with the partners where they would not be. I since the childhood dreamed to travel. This opportunity to me was given by corporation, and you my dear potential partners can help with realization of this children's dream. All world will be at our legs(foots), it is necessary to want. I invite all interested persons in this fascinating travel where everyone cares of the blessing of another Where the command(team) is under construction not simply, and a command(team) of adherents, a command(team) of millionaires, a command(team) not simply dreamers, and people which purposefully go to the purpose.
I wait for you. I of all of you love.Join now://http://tinatin2.intway.com
