Subject: So...what is your theory? |
Bible Note: Hi Zerotheory, Others have tried to give the teachings of the Bible a philosophical foundation, or have tried to understand it in a certain philosophical framework as you are doing. The problem was not philosophy, but that their philosophy was not "according to Christ," that is, it was not biblically based. Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. What results is the imposition of alien concepts on the Bible that further result in misinterpretation of the message of Scripture. You say, "Call it God if you wish, "0" is its mathematical proof." This quote is an example of an unbiblical theology resulting from an unbiblical philosophy. In terms of mathematics zero is the point on the number line which separates negative and positive integers. One cannot do math with out it. In terms of things in the created realm zero IS nothing. To have zero apples is to have none. And there is One Eternal God, living and true. I submit that your theory of opposites is not only unbiblical but also faulty in itself. But the Studybible Forum is a forum for Bible study not philosophy. Philosophy must be according to Christ not Anaximander. Peace, |
