third

Yes, the title is a subtle reference to Ender's Game which you should all read if you haven't yet.

But it also happens to be my third blog of the day. Yes, count em three blogs in one day.

Earlier today I mentioned two different things that I might get back to later:

1. Time travel being Theologically impossible.
2. Fundamentalism preaching doctrines for commandments of men.

Let's start with the first one. As I have not fully developed this thought pattern prior to this blog, you will be seeing the raw product as I work through it here. Though I am not sure there may be much more to develop.

Time travel requires change and flux. And as I sit here thinking about this it seems incredibly obvious to me why time travel is not possible. So much so that to put it into words seems a bit too much. Time travel is not possible because time travel means traveling forward or backward in time. Let me also state that the reason this is a big problem is because of the biblical events. (And I'm beginning to struggle...I will enlighten briefly) No one can go back in time and change history. They can't stop Christ from dying, nor can that event take place again. The same with the future. An unbeliever cannot travel to the future and be involved in or change a whole host of things. My hesitation/struggle arises from the popular views of time travel. That one actually transverses time, and can participate and act within the time frame. What if there are different views of time travel? What if time travel is not a matter of acting but a matter of viewing?

Well, I decided it doesn't really matter. There is no biblical way that anyone (Christian or not), would be able to go back and see pre-Eden, the flood, the tower of Babel, or the cross, or go forward and see the end of time, the 2 prophets, the millennial reign, or the new heaven/earth. Well, anyway, there was very little good reasoning there. I think its because I lack a verse or two. What I know is that it seems illogical for God to allow anyone to see these things. HA! Ending Revelation!! There it is. The verses/theological system.

It is the same reason we don't believe in speaking in tongues. The reason we don't dream or see visions. We believe that all revelation has ceased. Christ came to show us the Father and He sent the Spirit to show us Him. Revelation apart from Scripture has ended. Therefore, for anyone in this present day to go back in time to see Revelation of God is impossible. To go forward and see revelation of God is impossible. Thus, time travel is impossible.....yea? nay? I would appreciate your thoughts on that last part. That is the raw thought pattern. I started completely different and I think, now, that I have finaly come to a conclusion. Revelation being given by God has ceased. Men in this age will not be given more than the Scriptures. There is my time travel theory.

2. I will have to get back to this one. Burn Notice just ended and its on tape DVR or something so I'm gonna watch it and maybe get back to this tonight....possibly tomorrow though. If it's tonight I'll edit. If tomorrow, I'll put a new post up.
