I don’t love General Norman Schwartzkof (ol` “Stormin` Norman”), but I love his sense-of duty; I don’t love Britney Spears, but I love the “Baby One More Time”-schoolgirl.
I was watching Britney Spears’ A&E-biography while writing, and thought of the old soldiers’ “a good soldier doesn’t die, he just fades away.” Replace ‘good soldier’ with “good Name,“ and there you see a major truth.
The man of ’good Name’ sees how his work (like a branch of vine) fits into the Eternal Spiral of the conglomeration of vines, starting at the crack of space between two other vines, expanding and becoming its own vine and merging into the expansion of vines that rise above it.. That truth is the truth of the big ... “THE Conspiracy Theory.”
The vine-conglomeration is whatever state/society/union you consider. It grows, lengthening onward and upward, remembering how much more-comfortable the previous track was and spinning around to get that comfort again (though still growing onward and upward, thus spiraling up).
Eventually the people find that their vines were never comfortable unless they were merged together under one vine—shade provided by the reams-and-reams of scripture surrounding the name “Jesus Christ.”
The Vines here are ‘personal-histories as referenced by our names’ ... e.g. I say ‘Bill Gates,’ your mind registers what you know of his vine in the conspiracy. Jesus Christ is the name toward which all our vines move and -under which all our vines merge.
Jesus Christ the person doesn’t really matter, it’s the action (which earns the name) that matters. “Christ” simply means ‘sacred entity’ (and ‘holiness’ is really ‘comforting from an unknown source.’) Jesus (as the angel told Joseph) means ‘one who saves’ (i.e. ‘a bringer of rescuing usefulness’). So really, ‘Jesus Christ’ is just anyone at the time he brings saving comfort in an unknown way.* When this person is not bringing, he is merely Christ-like—you know he has salvation, but he’s not (at that time) bringing it to you.
That’s why men-and-women need each other: the unspoken comfort (beyond the physical). Oh, the physical comfort can be had without partners; but there is a holiness to knowing that--for the moment (etched into eternity)--you are the ‘only bringer’ in the other’s world. (‘Only bringer (of Amazing Grace)’ could be another translation of ‘Jesus Christ.’)
Thus Christian marriage makes each party ‘Christ’ to the other party.
*If you take only one part of this statement and argue against the whole thing, you’re using the same ‘shadowy reading-lamp’ that Satan hopes you use.

I agree with you but at the same time I feel that when our life is empty and hope doesn't seem to be found we should turn to the one and only. When thinking of this Casting Crowns - What if his people prayed comes to mind. Great viewpoint on the subject though. Jesus and his actions really do matter though. Thanks for the article.
