Laminin: Jesus Holds Us Together




I once watched the YouTube video where Louie Giglio discusses the importance of laminin--a cell adhesion protein. To watch this clip, click here. Basically, laminin is the protein that holds all of our cells together. It keeps us functioning normally and protects us from degenerative diseases such as muscular dystrophy or progeria. Laminin is also made up of three parts--three in one, just like our triune God (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)

Amazing, isn't it? Laminin--called the "basement membrane" without which we would literally fall apart--is in the exact shape of the cross.

The Bible says: "For by him [Jesus] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (Colossians 1:16-17)

Yeah, on a diagram it looks like a cross. In your body, not so much. Bird Flu is a perfect star. In real life. Nice try. Actually, not really.

Your skeptisim is understood. And, along those lines, this is not intended to be irreputable proof of God's existence; however, for a Christian, to see something like this--or the star, too, actually!--is just another reminder of all the infinite ways God chose to display Himself to us through creation.

i watched it also... God is cool... he is amazing, no one can ever do that but him. i watched the movie also, it's great...

Laures, thanks so much for your comment. You are so right! God is really amazing! This is just one example of the literally billions of ways He has marked our universe with His fingerprint. Only a God who deeply loves us and deeply desires our love in return would do such a thing.
God bless you today and always!

Amen, Praise God!! He truly confounds the 'wise' and resists the proud. His Wisdom is above man's wisdom as the heavens are above the earth.

THIS IS THE WORD OF LORD....

"I WILL CONFESS AND PRAISE YOU FOR YOU ARE FEARFUL AND WONDERFUL AND FOR THE AWEFUL WONDER OF MY BIRTH! WONDERFUL ARE YOURS WORKS, AND THAT MY INNER SELF KNOWS RIGHT WELL"> AS FAR AS LAMININ IS CONCERN THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT IS IS GODS FINGERPRINT ON ALL HUMANITY....

I had just seen this video for the first time. I looked up laminin for myself and was in awe. It is amazing that as far as we look outward in the cosmos, and inward to cells of every living thing, we see the face of God in everything around us.

I am a new Christian, and I am now seeing this world for the first time as our creator had intended it. It is amazing that science points us towards God. The very thing that I thought would lead me away from God when I was a nonbeliever. It is amazing.

you are all delusional idiots. laminin is just another molecule among MILLIONS. its sad how brainwashed you all are to think this molecule has any connection to "god". (who isnt real)

Unknown said...

GOD IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH INCLUDING THE VERY MOLECULES IN OUR VERY BODIES....FOOD FOR THOUGHT...DELUSIONS...MAN CAN CREATE....BUT THE HEAVENS AND EARTH INCLUDING HUMAN BODIES WERE CREATED BY GOD ALMIGHTY.....FROM DUST HE MADE US AND DUST WE WILL GO....THIS IS JUST A REMINDER THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER ALL CREATION......AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD IMPOSSIBLE FOR MAN .... BUT ALL THINGS OUR POSSIBLE WITH GOD....

Unknown said...

QUESTION OF THE DAY: ANYONE THAT GOES AROUND CALLING PEOPLE DELUSIONAL IDIOTS ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF GOD...IS QUESTIONABLE BECAUSE THEY LEAVE NO NAME THEY DON;T HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE OR FACTS TO PROOF SUCH A STATEMENT... OF THE CONTRARY....JESUS DOES HOLD IT TOGETHER...GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER ALL THE EARTH....HE IS THE CREATOR OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS INCLUDING YOURSELF......IRIS "GOD" IS REAL... A FOOL UTTERS ALL HIS MIND PROVERBS 29:11 A FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.....A FOOL VENTS ALL HIS FEELINGS BUT A WISE MAN HOLD THEM BACK. PROBERBS 29:11 HAVE A NICE DAY MR OR MRS.

oh my God! i am a believer and this just amazes me even more. God is just so so cool... Ü

God is indeed an awesome God! All week I have been reading about MS. There is research being done that ties the milk protein Lactose to the breakdown of the myelin sheaths protecting the nerves. In some people they react to this protein as an alergen. The immune system attacks the protein but also begins to attack other proteins in the body leading to a breakdown in the cell walls. I am suspecting that my daughter has the beginnings of MS. My Father led me to this research and at church this morning I heard of Laminin, and the Daily bread booklet that I read for the day talked about the Pure Milk of the Word in Acts 15. I ask you who or what can stand against us when God is for us? Praise Him always.

Praise the lord, my name is Roy nd b4 i even say anythng ad like 2 tel the anonymous crackhead how stupid he is, it is clear tht u cnt see a miracle even when it is pointing at ur face rite infront of u, 2 say smthng like that 2 the Lord almighty is smthng shameful, i am disgustd.

Now on 2 laminin, its amazin how God took time 2 even create such a cel, there are so many thngs tht God has created tht cant be simply explained, i watchd a part of the video nd i was amazed, by the fact tht it has 3 parts,trinity, nd that it holds al cels 2gether, crazy rush. Praise God for ths miracle. Amen.

Kimberly said...

I am amazed, for a new believer like me this just seals the deal for me. I am convinced that I need to spread the word of God to all non believers. If everyone could see the beauty of our Lord and Savior then this world would be a much different place. Thank You.

I think it is sooo cool that it is shaped like a cross cuz its just like Jesus is holding us together!!!!!! I love Jesus!!!! He is sooooo amazing!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I think it is just amazing and another way God shows himself everywhere to everyone and those who choose to not believe will not be in the Kingdom of Heaven. Try reading Romans, a book of The Bible, it talks about how he shows his glory everywhere and those who choose not to see it, will not have a place in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sorry, Kate but the milk protein lactose does not destroy myelin. Number one, lactose is NOT a protein. Never was and never will be. Number two, ingested protein does not get transported in the blood intact... recall digestion and absorption of amino acids.

Laminins do not simply hold our cells together. There are a number of extracellular matrix proteins, all of which contribute to maintaining the integrity and stability of the basal lamina. Sorry to inform you, but it's very unlikely that laminins in solution even exist in such a rigid cross-like structure due to the laws of thermodynamics and the environment in which they exist.

I just want to know how many of you have read a cell biology or biochemistry book?

I am going to go have gay sex now. bye.

Anonymous said...

Yeah! Gay sex or non gay sex the mystery of laminin remains.we do not really know for certain many thing in our world. It all come down to faith. Some have faith in the God of the Bible who is the Creator and some don't. I pray that all will respect and love one another. I believe in God Almighty the Creator who reveals Himself in Jesus Christ my Lord. Hope that all is well with you guys.

One thing you have to remember is that in your body the molecule bends as it adheres to the cells around it. So the molecule appears not to be a perfect cross. The scientific drawing is when the molecule is outside the body - a cross. Whether this can be seen as proof of god's existence is in the eye of the beholder. A great teacher of mine told me you can only prove god to a certain point. You must make a leap of faith after that. The same thing goes if you do not believe. You can't really prove that god does not exist. You have to make a leap of faith in that direction. I chose to make my leap in the direction of god. I will pray for those who don't believe and hope they will some day see the truth.

just a reminder, Jesus said, "Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Matthew 5:11,12

the doubters and haters of God will not see the indelible fingerprints of God on us, on all the earth and in the heavens, because God has blinded their eyes and shut their ears. rejoice in the knowledge that the Creator of heaven and earth knew you before He breathed the universe into existence! Praise the Lord!

I am also amazed with this laminin thing discovery!
Praise God for giving us this type of Molecules in our body to support every living cells we have.
But have you ever heard about Laminine too? the one with "e"?
