| 486367 | 2006-11-13 20:18:00 | Special relativity is shown in the account of Jacob.... (Genesis 28:12) 12 And he began to dream, and, look! there was a ladder stationed upon the earth and its top reaching up to the heavens; and, look! there were God’s angels ascending and descending on it. . . This is referring to the instantaneous communication between heaven and earth...in a vision of course, as people of that time had no knowledge of time-space travel. Religious nutters can make any stupid phrase fit whatever interpretation they like. Like the above. Of course ladders with angels walking up and down = physics. Right. And theres fairies at the bottom of my garden. |

| 486368 | 2006-11-13 21:40:00 | I think there are aspects of life which help define the meaning. As to why we are here. To give and receive love through our energetical selves. :) Religious nutters can make any stupid phrase fit whatever interpretation they like. True, but then many things in life can and are described quite easily by eupherisms (pardon the spelling). Infact the era surrounding the mystery of christ and the last 2000 - 3000 is one of the greatest most interesting things I have ever studied over the years. And no I arent a religious nutter, just a seaker of information. Anyhow I believe all religions/prophets were basically saying the same thing. |

Right. And theres fairies at the bottom of my garden. Ok, I can understand where you are coming from. I don't think SurferJoe's comment is conclusive evidence for General Relativity. I didn't quite understand the connection either but he may be right. The purpose of the Bible isn't supposed to be a Physics textbook, however it should be consistent with the real world where it makes statements about it if the claims it makes to its origins are true. I do agree with the rest of his comments though. Anyhow I believe all religions/prophets were basically saying the same thing. Some claims made by Jesus: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved John 10:9 Both of these quotes relate to how you get to heaven, how can ALL the prophets say the same thing when this is what Jesus is saying? |

| 486370 | 2006-11-16 03:08:00 | Easy... They've obviously each got their own heaven. It's much more fun to believe in several - and they don't have to all be in the same place. Just pick your prophet... Edit: Oh dear. I forgot that I resolved not to enter this thread again aaages ago. |

OK wouldn't he have been better off saying that he was A way rather than THE way (singular)? Also note that Mohammed (a supposed prophet too) says that you have to become a muslim and follow the Quran to get to heaven, there is no other way. |

Right . And theres fairies at the bottom of my garden . Well . . there are eyes of discernment and eyes of foolishness . I will dismiss the "religious nutter" part . Remember to whom the scriptures was originally written . . . these people had no idea of physics or nuclear reactions either . . . yet the Bible, when it does enter the scientific, is accurate . The up and down the ladders part was just a hint by the creator that there is more to the eye here, and that the hearer of prayers could make an instantaneous response where required . This was in complete disagreement with the pagans around who had to throw another virgin into a volcano for a blessing on next years harvest . Here's what I proffer for consideration: IF god were to live on the sun, then at the speed of light, the fastest communication would have latency of . . . what . . . about 3 1/2 minutes one-way . . and probably 7 minutes both-ways for a severe delay in communication to and from god . Heaven, since it is not in this realm should therefor be at least a little further away that the sun . Time is a constant, velocity is not . Time is perpetual, velocity is relative, forcing the perception of time to shift when in reality speed is the true variable . Read those last two sentences (^^) over a few times and see what I am implying . The angels climbing up and down indicate the existence of special relativity . . . the ability to accelerate in a curved space beyond the speed of light and therefor arrive at the same time of departure (but never before), in this case, hearing and answering prayers instantly . . . and in some cases when the prayer wasn't finished . Take into consideration this too: the answer to some prayers is: "NO" . Prayers have to be in alignment with god's purpose for them to be positively acted upon, at least from a human standpoint . It doesn't take much mental gymnastics to visualize such a presentation . Like I said, there are also the instances of other physical realm revelations and parallels in the bible . Would a loving and kind creator write science fiction? You indeed may have fairies in the bottom of your garden . . . consider their source and be careful to what you admit . . . you will be tested later . |
