Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt01316)

Thanks much for the links.  This can begin to give me a little 
better idea of what's being said.

Now just some food for thought.  My stance is agnostic, meaning that 
I do not believe that a cosmological supergod (omniscient, 
omnipotent, omnipresent) can be known.  Rather, the Old Testament 
Jews believed in a pluralized 'Elohim', interacting only with finite 
angels.  The God of the Old Testament is solely represented through 
the medium of finite angels and mortal prophets, but there is no 
cosmological supergod (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent) which 
directly appears anywhere in the Old Testament.  It is my personal 
experience that fundamentalist Christians have merely misrepresented 
the God of the Old Testament in this sense.

Nonetheless, I fully believe that all human beings have the 
potential to achieve physical immortality, and that it is inevitable 
that the entire human species will overcome death itself at the 
completion of it's current evolutionary cycle.

What does Blavatsky have to say of these things, in the context of 
your understanding?
