PROfound and/or CONfound
By definition, there are no absolutes in a finite world. . .
That explains, very simply, why mankind was advised not to ‘eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ – the indigestion would surely be fatal if not somehow transcended by a form of salvation.
To my mind the American legal system is analogous to the content of the Bible. The scale is different and the same presence of perfection provides an undeniable relationship.
One example in the American legal system is the legal concept of ‘de minimus’ which recognizes that there are facts which fall beneath the threshold of any judicial importance/notice.
De minimus is from the Latin meaning so small as to not be counted.
There are finite concepts which derive from this principle, but are frightfully confusing because of a lack of knowledge of the etymology. A prime example is the ‘white lie’. - Is it moral or not?

IT IS ANOTHER PERFECT DAY IN PARADISE - With President Obama, Our First Lady, and their family in attendance . . .
Finite perfection would be the ultimate oxymoron
If it wasn’t for Jesus Christ
In the beginning was the word
And the word was with God
And the word was God
The scene in the Garden of Gethsemane is perfect
As is the scene in Bethlehem's manger
Lean not unto Thine own understanding
But with all your getting, get understanding
life is always profound
when we are aware
. . . and not
If it wasn’t for Jesus Christ
In the beginning was the word
And the word was with God
And the word was God
The scene in the Garden of Gethsemane is perfect
As is the scene in Bethlehem's manger
Lean not unto Thine own understanding
But with all your getting, get understanding
life is always profound
when we are aware
. . . and not
