Yep. Concepts of 'infinity' are beyond our really comprehension. So we end up having a language problem trying to explain and understand these things. And that's one of the reasons some people have given up in believing in God at all. Something that can't fit into their logic/terms simply doesn't exist to them. So, anyway, in regards to these issues, I defer to what Christ taught as opposed to trying to make a syntactically perfect lexical argument. Of course, if you don't believe in Christ, you wouldn't put any weight into what He taught. So, at this point (I'm assuming you don't believe in Christ), you and I are at an impasse to take this discussion any further. But I think we've explained our respective sides clearly enough. I hope I've provided some useful information and I thank you for providing yours. -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
