Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
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 limitation and developes all the trqanscending divine powers. But you used it. So you must have an idea...

Re: Certain people can't ever get it right
Lem, I believe much of the value of a story lies in the details of the telling . A quick plot summary from Wikapedia which I checked does not present a full picture of the actual value of the story. I am a total skeptic about he mechanism proposed but I can see an interest in how a persons thoughts ...

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
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...
