Alluded to previously, operating systems and BIOS-accomodating
software of and within computers is a serious reflection of
crucial concepts in vital Biblical doctrines.
Saint John's 1:1-14 prologue: "In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God..." is allusive in a
limited but acceptable way to an Operating System (like DOS 6.22) being
put by the similitude of the Creator (the computer technician) into a
new computer (scentient humanity) for the first time. The Source Code
(the Word) of such integrates with the BIOS chipware (the trinitarian
human soul in the image of God) as a starting basis for everything
structural which follows, including many phenomenal executable programs of
delightfully diverse nature.
The complete forgiveness of sins through the one-time all-inclusive
sacrifice of Christ Himself and resultant total deletion of the presence
and memory of all the viral sins, like a corrupt worms-and-trojans-infested
hard drive [within a confessional penitent in and through Jesus], is
reminiscent of that hard drive being re-partitioned, with a fresh operating
system placed therein and bad files then annihilated by re-formatting.
Even the eucharistically-declared "body and blood" of the Holy Presence
manifested in the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus empowering the forgiven
believer to new realms of creative endeavor and accomplishment is - to a
certain point - similar to the simple but quite adequate one body of
WINDOWS 3.11 directory files being sanctimoniously and almost
reverently engrained on the C-drive of a computer, followed by the bloody
system files being placed within that body in one sacred subdirectory.
Though it ALMOST "goes without saying," the previously-mentioned analogies are admittedly inadequate. Obviously, blasphemy or ridicule is certainly NOT the intention, but rather harmonious incentive to greater edification through understandable associations.
