It's Not Pertinent To Your Salvation

Would it be impertinent to say that this thread is impertinent to my salvation?

I didn't even know they still used that slogan.  They had that back when I was a kid.  I haven't watched TV in years.

I find such impertinence to be importunate.

A small diversion here:

Vort, be not deceived. The avatar of ztodd is a kitten, not a pig.

She's a cat alright.  Scarediest cat you ever met.  I need to snap a shot of the expression she gets every time she hears any little click anywhere in the house. But it's too hard to get near her with my scary phone.  Are we off tangent enough yet?

Not to derail the derailment of this thread, but....

Carb, back to the OP... My answer:. I don't know.

For me, there's a lot of information I'd like to know.. But if I ever really consider taking it to the Lord in prayer.. I get the impression that, for me, the mystery question should look less like, "Was the scope of the fall of Adam just this planet/solar system/galaxy/universe ... and how does that square with carbon dated evidence and the current theories about the known universe...?"  

...and something more like...

"Is there anything I could do to better reach/understand/love my little brother who's alienated himself from the entire family and who refuses to even answer my Mom's phone calls?"

I don't know how much of that's just my own feelings of guilt about not doing enough... Vs how much of it's the Spirit trying to tell me that maybe I'm not spending enough time pondering the "right" mysteries...  

LP said it better.. For me it's the "what lack I yet?" mysteries that I'm still trying to find the courage to ask with real intent...
