Quantum Theology

“Quantum Theology”-- (A poem without end)

1

On the verge of happiness
On the edge of joy
Toward “Quantum Theology”
We must employ:

2

All disciplines available
To usher in--
A man-God relationship
Devoid of “sin“;

3

Bereft of “evil,”
It shall subsume
The notion of devotion
And the shock of doom.

4

Jesus died on the cross
To expiate
The “sins” of all and
To propitiate:

5

Yet, prevailing doctrine
Promotes the conceit:
His life, death and resurrection
Are yet incomplete.

6

Despite his oblation
So perfect and true,
There remains a cross
For me and a cross for you.

7

If “sin” precedes
And if “sin” is abides
Was the Savior’s death
Mere fratricide?

8

Of no force, nor effect?
Just another dead Jew
On a Roman cross
In the morning dew?

9

“Heaven and earth shall pass away:
But my words shall not pass away.”
Mark 13:31 predicts, while Gen. 1:1
“In the beginning God” inveighs:

10

An ineffable energizing spirit,
Creator of time and space;
The devolution of matter,
Within God’s enduring grace.

11

Jehovah created Good and Evil
According to Isaiah 45:7.
“He is before all things,” says Col.1:17
“and in him all things hold together.”

12

“To be or not to be,”
Wrote Shakespeare in Hamlet.
The harmony of polarity is
Quantum Theology’s epaulet.

13

Whether wave or dot nor neither
Each observer’s act decides.
Here and there simultaneously,
Where curses and blessings betide.

14

Both Literal and figurative together
At once, male and female too.
It’s the reconciliation of allegory
With what science believes is true.

15

It’s where math and myth
Approve each other’s theorems;
Where life in all dominions
Is varied as Solomon’s harems.

16

Where everybody is somebody
On God’s spectrum of being
Where everything is everything
Divinely imbued with meaning.

17

“Who (or what) shall separate us from
The love of Christ?” asks Rom.8:35
“Neither death nor life, nor angels nor
Principalities ...” no jive!

18

“Nor things present nor things to come,
Nor height nor depth, nor any other --
Created thing, shall… separate us
From … Christ” our brother.

19

In Christ, the wolf and the lamb shall dwell together.
Likewise, The leopard and the kid.
Cow and bear are not otherwise.
Nor shall the knowledge of the Lord be hid.

20

Isaiah 11:10 predicts: “a root shall come out of Jesse,”
Whom the Gentiles will seek,
Enabling recovery of that ancient remnant,
And the redemption of the meek.

21

The amorphous God and the personal God
Exist as one and the same.
“His" Uncertainty Principle, And
“His” Ordered Universe both bear “His” sacred name.

22

Symbol and substance walk together
From one source both having come,
Light and dark and day and night
Unite in the Summum Bonum.

23

Like a treasure hid in a field, Matt.13:44,
Quantum theology awaited “discovery”
By intrepid explorers, undaunted;
Wholly fixated on its recovery.

24

That which was, that which is,
and that which is yet to be;
Sanctified, mortified, glorified:
There for the blessed to “see.”

25

Great in the kingdom of heaven
Are they who do and teach divine law.
But least in the kingdom of heaven
Are they who do not, but scofflaw. (Matt.5:19)

26

Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"If anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself
and take up his cross and follow me. (Matt.16:24)

27

Heed what you hear: (Mark 4:24)
With what measure you mete, it shall be measured
to you--Pressed down, shaken together (Luke 6:38)
And running over: a good measure is your treasure.

28

Go not into the way Gentiles, nor Samaritans,
But only to “Jews” who are “worthy"; (Matt.10:5-15)
Then, only extend your peace to them conditionally.
Should it be rejected, shake off their dust fully.

29

While all may grieve, all may not receive.
Just like all seed does not bear fruit.
And that fig tree which bears leaves but no food
is deservedly cut off at the root.

30

For he that hath to him shall be given:
And he that hath not, from him shall be taken
Even that which he hath. (Mark 4:25)Sow, then,
Sower your seed faithfully, without fear, awakened.

31

For God has not given us the spirit
Of fear. But of love and of power
And of a sound mind. (2 Tim.1:7) We are
“Thechildren of God” (Rom.8:16) every day and hour.

32

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,(Ephe.3:20)
through his spiritual food and drink;

33

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
