It's come to my attention that this blog was linked to my old sil.org email address, so if you've responded by email to me over the last weeks, it's gone into outer space. If you could resend to hill@americanbible.org, I'd get it. If I succeeded fixing this, all future responses should come to this box. You can also respond on the blog itself.
And while I have your attention, I found "Weight of Glory" on line, and here's one quote I love:
"In beyond Nature, we shall eat
of the tree of life. At present, if we are reborn in Christ, the spirit in us
lives directly on God; but the mind, and still more the body, receives life
from Him at a thousand removes—through our ancestors, through our food, through
the elements. The faint, far-off results of those energies which God’s creative
rapture implanted in matter when He made the worlds are what we now call
physical pleasures; and even thus filtered, they are too much for our present
management. What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which
even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what
lies before us. The whole man is to drink joy from the fountain of joy."
The reason we know so little about the afterlife, I understand, is that it is beyond words and our present ability to comprehend.
