Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Answer in terms For those waiting with bated breath, the problem with Emily's statement in the blog below this one is that it attempts to make an absolute statement about a relative condition. If we have "little, human minds" we cannot comprehend God at all, and we certainly don't know enough to make absolute statements about Him. Her statement is the equivalent of saying - Everything is Relative. A contradiction in terms. Like saying, we can never know all about God. Uh, we can only say that if we know everything about God. The truth is that though we are not God, our reason is shaped in his. We become as God when we understand that 1+1=2. Is it possible for that simple arithmetic to ever be false? In some other universe, perhaps? Or can we be confident it is true, always true, and everywhere true for any kind of reality in which intelligence apprehends? I am willing to assert it is an absolute truth anywhere and any time. Doing so makes me God-like. I insist that my reason is absolute in this matter. The same is applied to any true syllogism: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Thus, Socrates is mortal. Absolutely true. Irrefutable. I am God to say so. Thus, there is an interface between us and God which is more than just soul but includes Mind. How can we be sure of any particular limitation upon our minds when it is allied so closely with God's? The fact is, we don't know what or how much we can know about ultimate reality. We certainly don't know any limit to the depths of God's being that we may not know or comprehend. Because He is big, and we're small, it doesn't follow that we can't grow; or that God is limited in what he can do with us. That would presume, on our part, a limitation on God. Logically, we can't do it. Makes no sense. posted by Mark Butterworth | 11:10 AM | |
