colossians 1:17

அவர் எல்லாவற்றிற்கும் முந்தினவர், எல்லாம் அவருக்குள் நிலைநிற்கிறது.

 -கொலோசெயர் 1 : 17

Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Why Do Christians Link Laminin to the Cross of Jesus? (Faith)

Some Christians point to Colossians 1:17, which says:

“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

They draw a symbolic connection:

• Laminin literally holds the body together
• Laminin’s shape resembles a cross
• Jesus’s death on the cross is what Christians believe spiritually holds life together

So the idea is this:

Just as laminin holds the physical body together, Jesus holds us together spiritually, and the cross — visible in the shape of the protein — is a "divine fingerprint" in creation.

• The claim suggests that the cross-shaped structure of the laminin protein, which plays a crucial role in holding human bodies together (cell adhesion and tissue organization), could be seen as scientific evidence of the Christian belief that Jesus holds all things together, as referenced in Colossians 1:17.
• Proponents suggest the cross-like shape symbolizes Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and laminin's function of binding cells together symbolizes Jesus' role in holding believers' lives together.

Conclusion

The connection drawn between laminin's structure and the cross of Jesus is a theological interpretation based on the observed shape of the protein. From a scientific perspective, laminin is a crucial protein with a specific structure that enables it to perform vital functions in cell adhesion and tissue organization within the human body.
