DaveH, your comment above reminds of the following line from Lewis Carrol's "through the Looking Glass":
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful
tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor
less."In the past you have used the dictionary to define "Christianity". Lets see what "damned" means according to a secular dictionary, Merriam-webster. In the first sense it means, "1. to condemn to a punishment or fate; especially : to condemn to hell".
Further, condemn means, "1 : to declare to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil usually after weighing evidence and without reservation. 2 a : to pronounce guilty : CONVICT b : SENTENCE, DOOM".
Doesn't sound to me like it means "impedance of eternal progression".
Okay, lets see what Strong's says about the word "damn": katrakino - to judge against, i.e., sentence:-condemn, damn.
Again, I fail to see "impedance of eternal progression". Now, how is it that you came up with that meaning? Can you give me a reference to where you got that?
LDS tend to follow the thinking of Humpty Dumpty. When they use a word it means exactly what they choose it to mean."
