The church — every gathering of the church, everywhere, under every form — remembers that on a certain night its Founder said and did certain definite things, briefly reported: that on the same night he fell into the hands of his enemies; and that he suffered a violent death (for the broken body and the shed blood can mean nothing else). (religion-online.org)
And experientially, I agree with Cobb that any fact of definiteness requires a plurality of other definite things. (religion-online.org)
But as its process of concrescence proceeds, it narrows the range of possibilities more and more, until all indefiniteness is resolved and it is a fully definite thing (and the continuum of possibility has thereby been cut at one point). (religion-online.org)
