Of course, all arguments either way are pretty much just variations on the 'angels on the head of a pin' discussion. The only possible source of correct knowledge is God, through revelation. Everything else is mere speculation. Somehow, I doubt that man is able to logically work out the dimensions of the box into which God will perfectly fit.

Would you please change the title of this thread to "Review of 'Philosophical Problems with the Mormon Concept of God'" to avoid confusion with the two threads with similar names?

Thank you.

I have also asked the Admin Moderator to change the name of this thread to "Review of..." to alleviate confusion between the two threads.

And, Illbay, I have also printed this one out for later read.

Thanks Rest. My wife and I went to a 'That's Amore' couples dinner at the church last night. It was a lot of fun.

BTW, in your graphic there is a bit too much hair on the guy's head to be me!

Have a great Sunday!
