Bible Question:
Dear zerotheory, Greetings in Jesus' name! You wrote: "... please understand that the "ZERO" theory is of the bible from the bible. Scripture can be quoted and logic can be used; Again, "USE YOUR MIND TO FIND ALL OF GODS GLORY AND USE YOUR HEART TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR GLORY". " Friend, there is no 'zero theory' in the Bible. Numerology is for astrology buffs and 'lovers of (personal) wisdom,' i.e philosophers. Please, where did you get the 'quote' above? ("Use your mind...") Is this something you wrote, or a quote from another? I know that no amount of thinking on my part will ever cause me to see God's glory, and I also know that 'all of my glory' is worth about 'zero.' (please, don't add this to your hypothesis! :-)) You also wrote: (in reference to John 1:23) "He is saying, I am the voice of a number from the wilderness of Sinai.[Num. 1:1] Why is he a number? He is a number because it was Gods will." Where in the Bible did you get this? No commentator I have ever read came up with this meaning, and no logic I can fathom leads me to this conclusion. Finally, all numbers do not come from '0.' Zero is simply a tool we use to express a point. A point has no dimension in the same way a line has no breadth. It just 'denotes the absence of all magnitude or quantity.' Focusing on zero will accomplish nil. Blessings and peace, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ unto you! In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Charis, Congratulations! You hit the nail on the head. "I know that no amount of thinking on my part will ever cause me to see God's glory, and I also know that 'all of my glory' is worth about 'zero.'" "ALL" of Gods Glory does not exist, it is unlimited. There will never be "ALL", you can always find more so keep looking. You might feel like all of your glory is is worth zero(Nothing) but again, "nothing" doesn't exist therefore you should know that you will always have glory.(glory:A highly praiseworthy asset.) Is your love of God worthless? |
