1 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65521 | ||
Joe, [quote from Joe]"We differ in a few respects on what He is like and how He operates, but that is a far cry from saying we believe in different Gods. The problem is not God being "different" for me and "different" for Hank. Our God is the same, but our problem is in our understanding of God." Here is a good one for you or anyone else to answer. It has to do with confusion from communication and definition: What is the definition of "NOTHING", what is the definition of "ZERO" and what is the meaning of the number "0"? Does or can "NOTHING" exist? |

2 | So...what is your theory? | Gen 1:26 | charis | 65532 | ||
Dear zerotheory, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Friend, why don't you just let us in on your theory (zerotheory) before you ask rhetorical questions? :-) Mysticism makes a big deal of "mu." Been there, done that. The intense study of nothing amounts to nothing. It is much more important to study something, and for me, that begins, "in the beginning..." Before that is not yet revealed, but God is not 'nothing.' Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |

3 | So...what is your theory? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65544 | ||
There is a "ZERO" theory but it is not of theological context. Not trying to be mystical, it's just very hard for me because I work from facts and truths, hence all my crazy questions and challenges. Misconceptions or misunderstandings of definitions bother me tremendously. Basically what the "zero" theory is that "0" exists yet it is associated with "nothingness" yet "nothingness" is not capable of existence. If "nothing" existed then it would be something therefore it is not "nothing". "0" is mathematical proof to an entity which is the essence of existence, it is what a philospher Anaximander called the "boundless". Call it God if you wish, "0" is its mathematical proof. Anaximander (532 B.C.) - the beginning and the fundamental substance (stoicheion) of things is an infinite something - "The Boundless" as he designates it. He also says the "apeiron", the absolute is the source of all things. Other elements are constantly being exchanged, but the Boundless cannot partake of this changeableness, or else it would pass away. The Boundless is not like the other elements. This Boundless is uncreated and indestructible, being itself primary. It has no cause, but causes all other things. |

4 | attempt to merge philosophy, logic, and? | Gen 1:26 | Pastor Glenn | 65550 | ||
Zerotheory, It souds like an attempt to merge philosophy, logic, and science. Science is related only to this physical universe and the present rules of physics. Since God is not bound by the laws of physics, isn't this a hopeless attempt? Also, is Stephen Hawking involved in formulation of this "Zero Theory"? Pastor Glenn |

5 | attempt to merge philosophy, logic, and? | Gen 1:26 | phruubeljiie | 65646 | ||
Hello Pastor Glenn! I'm only an amateur at bible study, but here's my best guess: Granted, God is not bound by the laws of physics, the laws of physics are created and bound by God. However, we as humans must look at what our comparatively tiny minds can comprehend. For instance, if you dropped a rock and it went up or flew laterally instead of falling down, would you be confused or would you feel this is the work of God? Physics and logic are our attempt to predict how things will work, though of course God can go on manual override at any time. |
