I've long thought that it must be true that God can ony be perfect -- or He too would fade?! therefor He MUST be perfect.. also life/the life force. (Thus, thinking ability was a Pandora's box, as with thinking ability - tho veRy limited - comes the ability to make choices, thus to differ w/ Him in any way in thought, word or deed is to be imperfect, the opposite of life, hence death and all imperfection! opposite of good.)

So when I was reading something about Plato a while back -- I finally learned the order of the three (classical) teachers, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle (or of the last two that is) by realizing it's not SAP, but SPA ) -- Socrates was convinced that there had to be truth/true, and that it could only be "good".. So to him, good and truth were one.. That same day when I got into my car to drive somewhere, something i usually do only once a week, at that time anyway, the first line I heard on the radio was a gospel song's "You are all good.. You are all true... In a world falling apart, You are all things new.."

Pretty song, but I can't find it on google, etc.. As I forgot to post about it and now can't remember the artist or title..  But I was reminded of it today when i read about Paul on Mar's Hill to the Athenian philopsophers, the NIV version has footnotes on the quotes he used ("as some of your own poets have said") - "in Him we live and move and have our being" footnote-"by philosopher Epimenides" and "we are His offspring" as being by "Stoic philosopher Aratus"

[But here's a great song I heard while visiting home, which I'd never heard before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocDpFVhyDw - My Father's Eyes by Eric Clapton] :smile:
