The question wasn't to Barth. ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 5:53 PM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth If that’s all you can cling to on your deathbed….well, why go to seminary?  It takes a bit more understanding to realize that not Everyone goes to heaven regardless of John 3:16.  (Remember the “I never knew you” part?)  I personally can’t speak for Barth; I never knew him.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Taylor Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 5:44 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth   Pretty cool huh? Learn it in Sunday School and never ever exhaust it, no matter what your level of genius.   What do you think, Izzy, does it still excite you like it did him?   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 3:15 PM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth   How very profound.  Exactly what little Sunday schoolers learn in kindergarten.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Taylor Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 9:20 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth   "Jesus loves me; this I know; for the Bible tells me so." -- Karl Barth, toward the end of his life, when asked about the most profound theological truth he had ever learned. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Deegan To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 11:12 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Albert Einstein & Karl Barth   Please provide some statements from Barfh's books or whatever showing he was a saved man & believer.

The Bishop In a message dated 2/24/2005 4:47:46 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: "In the course of a single decade, Albert Einstein discovered special and then general relativity, and in so doing overturned the conceptions of space and time that our species had held for thousands of years. Even so, many of us, at least intuitively, still adhere to those disproved conceptions. We imagine space as an inert stage on which the events of the cosmos take place. We imagine time being recorded on a universal clock, ticking away in a identical manner here, and on Mars, and in the Andromeda galaxy and everywhere else, regardless of differing environments and physical contexts. For most of us, the unchanging eternality of space and time is among the most basic features of existence. But to hold such beliefs is to hold to a pre-Einsteinian vision that isnot only theoretically untenable but, as attested to by numerous experiments, demonstrably wrong."  (The meaning of Relativity-Brian Greene, Princeton UP, 2005)   "We certainly should not forget Barth's reminder that he did not aim to make us students of Barth but students of Holy Scripture. Barth took the lead on this point. His is a passion  in zeal for God's glory."   "Why do human beings learn so much, so soon, about technology, and so little, so late, about loving one another." Henri Nouwen   You need not know anything of or about either of these men (Einstein/Barth) to participate in that which has been accomplished in the Man Jesus.HOWEVER, that which was spoken by David Miller reflects not the 'scandal of the cross' but, 'the scandal of the evangelical mind' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
