"Sigh...."

Are you referring to quantum physics and exceeding the speed of light? Specifically, the possibility that the second and third heavens exist at a speed faster than 186K mps?
There’s a theory that during the pre-Edenic war, again at the fall of Adam, and later at the flood, (among other events) there was progressive loss of ‘bandwidth’ in our physical realm of reality (the first heaven). As the Kingdom of God advances, we will experience a restoration of access to higher bandwidth, thus the experiences of guys like Ezekiel, Daniel, John the Revelator, etc. This also explains the present-day occurrence of miracles, healings, angelic encounters, experiences in worship, etc., as well as demonic interaction.
I’ve wondered about this myself for a long time.
we have the free will to deny our own free will, absurd as that choice may be.
That’s a matter of opinion
My God said He's gonna kick your God's a&&.
and you can also read everything else I said on this thread...
That great Comet Calvin, eh?
It's all about having to face a holy, righteous God and having to answer to that God. People know what God has said about free choice, and they hate the idea that there is this sovereign "God" who reigns over them and over the known and unknown universe, and that this "God" has the unmitigated gall to tell them that there is something wrong with them and, apart from Him and His Son's atoning death on the Cross, there is a price to pay for being on the wrong side of free will.
It's just so much easier and comforting to delude oneself into believing that God is a liar, the Scriptures are a myth, and a person can live his life as he chooses, rejecting God, with no consequences.
Is it available to read online?
There’s an entry at Wikipedia, a good starting point.
The article states that a Hindu myth described that 5 bright planets were aligned...
I recently read that the planets will be aligning again in the year 2012. That’s only 5 years away. I wonder what interesting phenomenon will be headed our way?

I recently read that the planets will be aligning again in the year 2012!
That’s the Mayan date for the end of the world!
I spoke with a fellow recently who started reminiscing about his UFO encounters and paranormal/supernatural experiences. I would lead the conversation to discussing the human spirit and Christ, but he would return to his experiences. At one point he began to speak of some experiences similar to some past vivid apocalyptic dreams I had about 7 years ago, but also touched upon some other CT/lunatic fringe/UFO topics.
At one point he asked if I had heard of the great asteriod that would hit the earth in 2008. I hadn’t, but he made no more mention of it. I was left with the impression it must be the consequence of some paranormal blog somewhere or some other CT, but hadn’t seen it anywhere.
My curiosity was sparked because I sensed there was something spiritual involved, perhaps deceiving or malevolent spirit influencing his thoughts, similar to the little girl foretelling the Aztec/Mayan hunters in Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto.
I leave it in the Lord’s hands, but was curious if there had been some asteroid impact/rain forecasts out there for late 2007 to mid 2008. I haven’t seen any.
We only "dodged" it in the sense that the Tunguska event happened in a very remote area. Did you see the post on The Corner over at National Review Online about Tunguska? John Derbyshire posted the following:
Narrow Escape [John Derbyshire]
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is of the impact site for the 1908 Tunguska meteor, "the most powerful natural explosion in recent Earth history." The meteor hit with a force of about 20 megatons, fortunately in a remote region of Siberia. Isaac Asimov pointed out that the latitude of the strike (60.96°N) was almost precisely that of St. Petersburg (59.93°N), so that if the meteor had arrived about 4hr 46m later, the second city of Imperial Russia would have been wiped out.
I, among others, wrote him a bit of a critique about his logic, pointing out that in 4 hours and 46 minutes the earth would have been over 300,000 miles out of place in it's orbit to have been hit by the tunguska impacter, but that in only about 2 minutes of Earth's movement in our orbit it might have been in line with St. Petersburg, if it have been moving in just the right direction in 3 dimensional space, but then so would lots of other places on Earth, given just the right movement.
He posted this follow up:
Everybody's a Critic [John Derbyshire]
An astronomical number of readers emailed in to observe, with asperity only slightly tempered by mere scorn, that (a) if the Tunguska object had arrived 4hr 46m later it would have missed the earth completely by over 300,000 miles, and (b) a degree of latitude is nearly 70 miles, so the inhabitants of St. Peterburg would have been in the position of Manhattanites watching a 20-megaton blast in Poughkeepsie.
Yeah, yeah. With no offense whatsoever to the fine people of Poughkeepsie, just hope you never find out. In any case, don't blame Asimov, I probably misquoted him.
I think we're beginning to realize that these things happen a lot and we just haven't been paying close enough attention.
They can talk about man made disasters but mom nature is the dealer and there are jokers in her deck.
Forget my link, I forgot what thread I was on. Senior fugue on my part.
