Is God progressive?

Hi Cav:

I believe that you have hit a nail on its head.

Yes, in the current situation new understandings, especially in the areas of science, technology, and spirituality are taking humans into realities that are not natural in the classic definitions of that word. Hence, we, and especially children, do not have ready reference points for what is experienced and learned. In such scenarios it is quite easy and natural for us to forget past experiences and lessons, and respond inappropriately to what is presented to us in the new and somewhat virtual experiences that we now have going on. Over time our responses may become more and more baseless and are apt to lead us astray. Radio, motion pictures, and television were only the first episodes of the process.

IMO this is causing us as a species to begin a transformation into a newer version. Now, whether or not this is a cumulative act of G-d is open to conjecture. But it is clear from what I have experienced and learned that it is happening and accelerating in each generation.

Dondi...I admire what you are doing with your children. It will take almost superhuman balancing activities on the part of parents in the future to avoid the tragedy of more lost children. Intergenerational traditions and renewing the form and interpretations of the traditional human myths and stories will become more and more important as time goes on.

flow....

I wouldn't say God himself is progressive. What is a very important and fundamental concept for us to know about God is that he is absolute. Therefore we constantly strive to get closer and understand him. What is known today could be ludicrous in 1000 years. People only remain equal through the legacy and amount of effort put in at that time of history. I guess the human spirit has remained the same even as bacteria form.
