Hi Wil —
What we make of it is subjective, but it, in itself, is existentially real.
So divine idea I can accept, but not because of any desire, which suggests contingency, finitude and potentiality-to-be — that's not God.
God bless,
Thomas
OK
The cosmos was there before man.
What we make of it is subjective, but it, in itself, is existentially real.
I suggest that belongs in the 'old greybeard' idea of God.
But you can't sustain it, nor even yourself, in eternity ...
As I said, there are myriad examples of the triune idea, but that does not correlate with the Trinity.
OK
OK
That's somewhat anthropological, we're back to old greybeard again. The definition of God is that which is Absolute, Infinite, Perfect ... so, by definition, God is not subject to any contingent state, such as desire.
So divine idea I can accept, but not because of any desire, which suggests contingency, finitude and potentiality-to-be — that's not God.
God bless,
