Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
Does God play three dimensional golf like we do? I doubt it. But he may play golf. Would it look like golf to us? Are there are a lot of other things He does differently? Does he put the milk in his cup before he puts the tea in - or the other way round? Or, in some wondrous multidimensional way do...

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
... an eternal glory with is the source or basis of divine power. What the hell does that mean? - Doc Doc, it is not my idea, if find it vague at best. It is a residual in my mind about comments in the Lectures on Faith. It does recognize the puzzle of how in Mormon view a person transcends human l...

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
That, I must concede, is where Mormonism wins big time: Heavenly Father is an exalted human with a material body, who did not create the cosmos, but lives in it like we do. Such an object of worship (if he exists) can be spoken of in ways that might potentially convey real and verifiable informatio...

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
I do not know if it adds anything to the discussion but personally I have , it seems always, to find the idea of God being outside of time in a way that all time is visible to God as absurd. I am inclined to think it is a mistaken speculation. Of course I am not one who knows for sure about such th...

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
Thanks Chap and Gadianton for digging up that early Mormon reference. It is a clear use of traditional theology about Gods knowledge and time. My fading memory of statement by Aquinas on this connected to his view that events all flow from the mind of God and flow back to that source. This has some ...

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
The Mormon "eternal now" idea is sheer nonsense. It would be to anyone that believes that you’re born and then you die. Full stop. Regards, MG I am puzzled. I do not recall the words ''eternal now'' being used in a Mormon context. Is it a new thing? How is it used? I believe Gadianton mentioned the...

Re: Phil Spector: The Master of Teenage Hormones
I like this thread as an excuse to review a bit of teenage music history. Wikapiadia provided some specifics about this wall of sound I had heard of. Interesting information, lots of instruments repeating the same simple lines. That is hardly new at the time. Think of big band with banks of horns re...

Re: Economic Fallout of Trump's Incompetence
Yes I remember your arguments. I also remember Obama blaming Bush for the bad economy for 8 years. Whoever you want to credit it for, the preCovid economy in the US was wonderful. All boats seemed to be lifted. I count myself blessed to have been alive and working to take part in it. And I doubt we...
