So do you believe in the ever expanding universe and outer space? The Ein Sof?
Is there a circle that surrounds the ball earth? A circle at the edge of the ever expanding universe where Heaven begins?
I've never seen a picture of it. Have you?
Mary of Agreda's depiction seems compatible to this:
I do not believe in an expanding universe for that would suggest it is infinite. A heliocentric universe could be said to be infinite. A geocentric universe proves it cannot be infinite.
The ever expanding stars, not the universe, comes from Hubble's interpretation of the red-shift of stars. Robert Gentry wrote that many scientists disputed this interpretation. Anyway, it was extrapolated back to a big bang beginning.
Few know that Copernicus wrote:
'‘But if someone opines that the Earth revolves, he will also say that the movement is natural and not violent. Now things which are according to nature produce effects contrary to those that are violent… and are kept in their best organization. Therefore, Ptolemy had no reason to fear that the Earth and all things on the Earth would be scattered.’ --- On the Revolutions, Book 1, par 8.'
In other words a geocentric universe could cause an expansion of the stars
I have seen many pictures of heaven above. Heaven is up there, that is all we know about the place of heaven. Aquinas said Hell has to be the furthest place away from heaven.
Just got a phone call as I was writing this to tell me an old friend has just died. Don was his name, a great Catholic whose wife died some time ago. She wanted to die because the world has been taken over by Satan. A prayer for the repose of his soul would be appreciated.
I suppose we have to get our priorities right
