Apr 5, 2007

As noted yesterday, I grew up loving Science Fiction. One of my early exposures was to a program called Time Tunnel. In it, two people get stuck going back and forth in time trying to change history, but never quite succeeding. From stopping the Titanic from sinking, to stopping Little Big Horn and Peal Harbor, they never can seem to get things changed. Another series, Quantum Leap, has the hero jumping into people's bodies in an effort to fix what went wrong. He changes, for example, Jackie Kennedy from dieing with her President husband. He is sent in time by, as the series says, "God, Time or Someone".

Can we actually change time? Can we go back and change what has happened? Will man be able to travel in time to see the events of the past? Are they here among us now?

Heb 9:27 CEV
(27) We die only once, and then we are judged.

It is not possible for us to travel back in time. We can only travel forward, and then only one second at a time. We cannot change the mistakes that we have made. We cannot set right what once was made wrong. We cannot make multiple attempts to fix something, only once, the time it happens.

Is there something in your past life you would like to change? You cannot. You can only change the future that is coming. As you go through life you can ask yourself, if I was caught doing this, would I want to go back and change it? If so, you can not go back and change it, maybe it is better that you do not do it in the first place.
