Oh I get it: the usual nonsense. You define the terms to make them mean what you want, so you can get any result you want.

Why is past time achieved and why is infinity unachievable

I don’t even know what that means that past time is “achieved”

And while you are at it tell me what color virtue is.

Talk about confusion caused by words…

There is no confusion, only your refusal to accept the obvious truths that discredit Mormonism. You can’t evade the truth forever.

Ski is like most mormons and the whole mormon house of cards. They hope that if they can close one eye and squint the other, all the contradictions and doubts and fears will go away. They do not want to see that man behind the curtain, furiously pulling the levers and stomping on the foot pedal. If they can just keep dancing fast enough, everything will make sense. Ski loves to ask “what if” questions that he hopes will lead you away from the fact that mormonism is a scam and a fraud and he has been sucked in and desperately does not want to look like a fool. I feel sorry for all those who have pinned their hopes on this ecclesiastical ponzi scheme.
 
There is a story you all should already know, I think it was about Augustine.

He was walking on the beach one day contemplating some weighty philosopical issue, when he noticed a little boy acting strangely.

The boy was digging a hole in the sand, and running back and forth to the ocean with a pail, filling the pail with water, and dumping it into the hole. He did this for some time.

Augustine approached him. “Why are you putting water into that hole”? he asked.

“I am going to put the whole ocean into my hole that I have dug”

Augustine said “But you could not possibly put the ocean in that little whole-- look at it — it is so vast, and your hole is so small!”

The boy looked him squarely in the eye and said “Augustine, Augustine, it is easier for me to put the whole ocean into this hole than it is for you to understand the things of God”.

Little children can have a perfect understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and He has told us to become as little children.

You are constructing logical houses of cards that have no reality.

I wish you well in your quest to make God rational to your little minds.

Your language will never be up to the task. You are living in a state of illusion.

God bless you
 
The Last Words of Thomas Aquinas:

“Such secrets have been revealed to me that all I have written now appears of little value.”

"Revealed"

I never thought of it that way eather. The one thing Jesus is not is like Spock Half Human. He is definitely true God and True Man. The way I understand it, Mormons believe He is only a Half God. With all due respect to good upstanding Mormons, Boy am I glad I’m Catholic!!!

That’s a dishonest distortion of the story. You should be ashamed.

This is an example of the story.
"Do you know St.Augustine? There’s an old story of St. Augustine walking along the beach. He is contemplating about the Trinity… Up ahead he saw a little boy digging a hole in the sand. He saw the little boy ran out into the waves, scooped up a bucket of water, and ran back to pour it into the hole. He did this a few times till Augustine approached him and asked, “Boy, what are you doing?” “See that ocean out there?” the boy asked. “I’m going to pour that OCEAN into this HOLE.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE dear,” said Augustine. “You cannot fit the ocean in that tiny hole.” The boy looked up at him and replied, “And neither can you, Augustine, fit the Trinity in that tiny little brain.” 🙂 Apparently, it’s God bearing His message to St Augustine.

All of Mormonism is a dishonest distortion, and everything it touches becomes corrupt.

You guys are definitely weird.

I remember the story from 30 years ago. You guys look it up, and it’s virtually identical, and you say I distored it.

So it was the trinity? Is that what I supposedly distorted? I don’t see the difference between “the things of God” and “the trinity”.

The point is the same.

That’s just another example of a paradox that is a man made “development” of the original doctrine that is also impossible to make sense of. Three whos and one what. What does that mean?

I really don’t understand the hostility Mormonism corrupts everything it touches? Man alive, you guys are just plain wild dogs. I’m off to find someone who wants an honest dialogue. You seem incapable of answering my questions anyway.

I didn’t mean to be so threatening to you to get that kind of reaction.
