David, what does your comment have to do with open dynamic theology? Do you oppose such wording?
I don't necessarily oppose such wording, but I do see the spiritual connection that Izzy does. The same spiritual forces at work in theologians in high places are at work in Justices in high places.
The point is that the written law, whether Biblical or in our Constitution, needs to be stable and true. If we think we can reinterpret the law when times change, making it open and dynamic, then the baseline no longer exists. Truth becomes relative. It is the classic Plato versus Aristotle debate.

Are you aware that Iz threw in the "Supreme Court" when, in fact, we were talking about biblical studies?
Yes, that was pretty smart of her, wasn't it. She is very perceptive and able to connect ideas from various disciplines. Maybe she will be the one to unlock the Theory of Everything. :-)
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
