Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: 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. |
