Merry Christmas, Jack!
Immanuel kant basically said that a finite world (space) is impossible because we would see it inside some dark nothingness…
Wonderful things to think about at Christmas. I like this verse from Abraham 2: 12 Now, after the Lord had withdrawn…
Thanks. Yeah really makes you wonder what they learned during the book of Abraham translation process.
cool piece it shows W.W PHELPS believed in infinite space and Joseph in a globe and a multiverse as he…
Thanks, Jack! I always look forward to your comments.
I like your perspective–that the parable has only to do with the scattering and gathering of Israel. And that’s why…

It recently occurred to me that, if true, Ezra’s Eagle describes 8 contrary feathers, whose time proves short.
Absolutely. We don’t know how time passed in the garden. We don’t know if it was even in the same…
