Описание: What is God's ultimate purpose for my life? What is the Doctrine of Eternal Progression, and why do the Mormons believe it? Did the early Christians really believe men could become gods? Did they, at least in part, believe as the Latter-day Saints do? What of other Christians? Did the earliest Christians really believe that the Son was another God, and that a plurality of gods existed in heaven? Does the Bible contain, or even permit such teachings? What did Psalm 82 mean to them? Is it true that early Christians taught in ways to hide sacred teachings of the Church from both their less advanced members and the public? Did ancient scribes deliberately alter their own sacred scriptures? Are many of the scripture proof texts most used by critics of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to attack the Doctrine of Eternal Progression really as useful to them as they think? Author and researcher D. Charles Pyle tackles these questions and critics' objections relative to the Doctrine of Eternal Progression, disentangles proof texts twisted by the critics, attempts to reconstruct the original readings of a few verses in the Bible, based on manuscript evidence, cultural background, structure and style of the texts, and furthermore explains the likely reasons why the Bible reads as it now does in several key texts. Comprised of two parts, one to be read through (presenting to the reader a cross section of texts from the New Testament and other early Christian literature, connecting elements of the early Christian doctrine of deification with part of the LDS Doctrine of Eternal Progression), and the other being a reference collection intended to be consulted as needed when questions arise (although it too can be read through, if desired). The author's original 1999 FAIR Conference paper has been revised, updated, and supplemented in this new print edition, and is the equivalent content of two volumes of material under one cover. Four indexes, including a scripture index listing every scripture or related text cited or quoted in the book, increases its usefulness and makes it easier to find what one is looking for in the text. While not an official LDS Church source, for Mormons and non-Mormons alike this book ought to be a part of any library on the subject of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons), and Latter-day Saint beliefs. Indispensable for those seeking thought-provoking discussions of difficult questions relating to LDS teachings regarding the doctrine of eternal progression, the nature of God, the relationship of man to God, the creation, Bible mistranslations, and more.
Описание: Abstract: The stratigraphy of the western Florida Carbonate Platform above the mid-Cretaceous Sequence Boundary (MCSB) is defined using 9,600 km of multifold reflection seismic data tied to 29 wells. Concordant reflections at the MCSB deny subaerial exposure of the platform. A drowning unconformity related to an oceanic anoxic event is a more likely cause of the MCSB. Preexistent structures influenced the MCSB surface which in turn affected subsequent deposition. Biostratigraphic data tied to magnetobiochronostratigraphic interpretations provide a time-stratigraphic framework of four main units: Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene-Eocene, Oligocene-lower Middle Miocene, and upper Middle Miocene-Holocene. The Upper Cretaceous has two subunits KU1 (Cenomanian-Santonian) and KU2 (Campanian-Maastrichtian). KU1 has continuous, parallel reflections and thickens in lows on the MCSB. In the Apalachicola Basin, KU2 has uniform thickness, discontinuous, subparallel, even-to-wavy reflections, and is intensely faulted. Sonic velocity of KU2 shows a southeastward change from siliciclastics to more carbonate rock. Hummocky-to-contorted seismic facies and thickening of KU2 on an MCSB high suggest a deep-water carbonate buildup. The Paleocene is thin and Danian strata absent from the Destin Dome to Apalachee Bay. The Eocene margin marked by a north-south belt of west-prograding clinoforms at 85oW developed from a homoclinal ramp to a flat-topped shelf. Landward this margin, a seismic "marbled zone" suggests dolomitic facies. In the Apalachicola Basin, Ypresian-Lutetian (?) sequences form a wedge that thickens to the west. Basinward of the margin Lutetian-Priabonian sequences with lenticular shape and wavy, subparallel to hummocky seismic facies are stacked to form broad, en echelon mounds. Near the Florida Escarpment, and Eocene, elongate mound with disrupted seismic facies restricted progradation of post-Eocene clinoforms. Post-Eocene strata are of continuous, parallel seismic facies and drape the Eocene surface, thickening in lows. In the Tampa Embayment, Oligocene-Lower Middle Miocene strata form sets of progradational clinoforms that steepen to the southwest as they impinge upon the Escarpment. Truncation of clinoforms has been reported beneath a mid-Miocene unconformity, but apparent truncation of clinoforms can also be observed at the tops of other, older sequences.
