QUESTIONS
The 1611 Fellowship explores 10 philosophical-theological questions, as listed below. I welcome your thoughts.
1. Is freewill true or a delusion?
2 Is the universe eternal or finite?
3. Because God allows evil, does that make him evil?
4. What is the value of morality if there is no God?
5. Can a person truly love God if there is no freewill?
6. How does evil prove or disprove freewill?
7. Does God's foreknowledge mean everything must be predetermined?
8. For God to be omniscient must he control every event?
9. What is mind; can it emerge from a strictly material universe?
10. How can a person of high moral values be a servant of the devil?

psalm CXLVII (your guess as good as mine with the number) "He telleth the number of the stars: he calleth them all by /their/ names." doesn't sound like infinity-universe to me
Copernicus refused to have his writings published until after he died in 1543. Some believe he was merely a prop and his works were ghost-written by the newly created Jesuits to start a cosmology revolution in thought. Galileo Gallilei was a very dubious Jesuit-promoted/compromised character (fathered illegitimate children; obsessed with a young cousin; all daughters became nuns i.e. slaves in brothels at that time) who was treated with kit gloves by the Vatican during his show trial which further publicized new cosmology. Georges Lemaitre was the Catholic priest from whom the Big Bang theory originated. Supposedly he considered being a Jesuit at one point in his religious training (my bet is he remained close to them throughout his life.) This is all to say, the Catholic church and the Jesuits are all over the study of cosmology. For example, they currently operate a LBT telescope named LUCIFER on Mt Graham in Arizona. The idea of a limitless Universe and space fit quite nicely into Catholic dogmatic thought. i would encourage all to research the origins of what they have been taught about space and planets and even the sun and moon, You might be surprised at how neatly they fit into historical esoteric religious teaching. For example, the tilt of earth in space is supposedly 23.34 degrees . . 90 minus 23.34 is ..66.6.
Thank you for this Brother!
on freewill. can the evil spirits choose to be good? that is, is it possible (not, that it is complete). just listening along and wondering.
By "evil spirits" do you mean fallen Angels?
4. What is the value of morality if there is no God? can someone word this one a different way?
If there is no God, then do whatever you like, because nothing matters...rape pillage and plunder.
Looking forward to any comments I may get from sharing this.
