Question

What is the solution to the paradox of Theseus's Ship?

Answer 1

The answer is no once the decision for change has been made there is no going back Heraclitus's river is correct, as is this contribution.

In the inner experience of man, mind is joined to matter. Such material-linked minds cannot survive mortal death. The technique of survival is embraced in those adjustments of the human will and those transformations in the mortal mind whereby such a God-conscious intellect gradually becomes spirit taught and eventually spirit led. This evolution of the human mind from matter association to spirit union results in the transmutation of the potentially spirit phases of the mortal mind into the morontia realities of the immortal soul. Mortal mind subservient to matter is destined to become increasingly material and consequently to suffer eventual personality extinction; mind yielded to spirit is destined to become increasingly spiritual and ultimately to achieve oneness with the surviving and guiding divine spirit and in this way to attain survival and eternity of personality existence.

Answer 2

Leave things alone for, after all our meddling, things change and the essence of permanency rests with nature. Man proposes but God disposes. Does anything remain the same as the percentage of replacement rises? In actuality, anything that is altered to the nth degree, no longer presents itself as what it was originally. Only our preconceived perception of it becomes flawed.

Answer 3

depends on how you define sameness.

the human body replaces all of its constituent parts ,

within seven years all the cells are different~

but the continuity of mind remains...
