very much like the whole presentation here, but you have a graphic example of real discernment which speaks against (what I believe to be) what is (arguably) one of the most self contradictory flawed presumptions in Christian 'accepted' theology, this being that GOD exists outside of time, or that heaven is timeless (which to me seems to be obvious foolishness) it would not seem unreasonable to believe that GOD is not bound by time as we know it (linear time) but to suggest that GOD exists 'eternally' in 'timelessness' seems to be (at best) foolishness, and though I can see objections made against making a 'big' fuss over 'such a small thing', but is that REALLY a small thing ? how many theological issues does that relate to ? I can think of at least a few off the top of my head. but this is just one example of a questionable presumption that mainstream 'accepted' theologians seem to strive to avoid even looking at let alone assessing. like what I've seen of your material so far, keep up the good work, .. and hang in there : )
