"In preparatory times of the Old Testament, the practice of atonement was finite—meaning it had an end. It was a symbolic forecast of the definitive Atonement of Jesus the Christ. His Atonement is infinite—without an end. It was also infinite in that all humankind would be saved from never-ending death. It was infinite in terms of His immense suffering. It was infinite in time, putting an end to the preceding prototype of animal sacrifice. It was infinite in scope—it was to be done once for all. And the mercy of the Atonement extends not only to an infinite number of people, but also to an infinite number of worlds created by Him. It was infinite beyond any human scale of measurement or mortal comprehension."
Is this a good forum for theological (Mormon) discussion?
If so, I'll do it, if not, just skip to the next message...
These pix made me think of the following- Is Christ the redeemer for all the worlds and galaxies that we (Hubble) can see, or just for our little earth? I mean, with 1500 galaxies possible in the space of sky the approximate size of this O, that seems like a lot of life to be redeeming. Plus, a big reason He came to live amongst us is to be an example. How could he be an example for people on other planets? (This obviously assumes a lot of things, but just go with me...)

TWO SLITS DIVIDED (spoofery run wild) A poem by nerds, for nerds...
Two slits divided by a distance d And I, one electron, passing near My path not set; my road not clear Could not decide just where to be I didn't know toward which slit to steer.
I gazed at one, and then at the other They looked just the same as two slits can be Neither more traveled, from what I could see. Nothing distinguished one from another So I put my faith in probability.
Being one particle, through one slit I must pass But if I'm a wave, there's no need to decide. I spread and diffract; through both slits I did slide. But then my energy turned back to mass When with the wall my wave did collide.
I shall be telling this with a "psi" Somewhere nanoseconds from time-naught t Two slits divided by d, and I-- I took them both, Schrodinger to try, And that has made all the difference.
--Freda and Michael Christenson, BYU students
