Sam, awhile back I asked you a question contained within a quote by you,

You said ...It refers to something beyond the material/dimensional, such as when you say, "not as a 'god' in any way shape or form--that is, an idol with dimensions--or even a supernatural being, with dimensions ...."

I also asked,

Then you added,

I think both science and theology can be thought of as ways that humans have devised ...to study the source....

You mention, studying, "the source". With this "source" in mind I am a new member of new forum. It is http://wondercafe2.ca
Welcome to members of all faiths, of no faiths, including curious inquirers, agnostics and atheists.
========================
There, I started a thread, in the form of a dialogue, about the source of Christian theology and its central figure, Jesus. Here it is:

BTW, some Bible scholars believe that the Gospel of Mark is the oldest written Gospel. It was written down by Mark about 25 years following the death of Jesus and is based on the sermons of Peter, who was illiterate.

THE SOURCE?
There is some evidence that long before Mark, a document circulated among the first Christians, which was called the "sayings of Jesus".

In modern times, German scholars gave it the title, the quelle (the German for 'source') or 'source' document. For short, it was called the 'Q' document.
