Theological Science* Reveals Theological Inconsistences in Our Thoughts About Monotheism, III

Monotheism destroyed pantheism and idolatry through the thoughts of Abraham. For pantheism to be true, God had to be a whole that could be divided into parts. A pantheistic God must thus destroy itself by transforming itself into parts. But only something finite can be divided into parts. So, pantheism is true only if God is a finite thing that is divisible.

To reject pantheism, Abraham had to view God as an indivisible thing. Thus, Abraham’s God is not finite. To reject pantheism, Abraham had to promote a God who is not finite and has no parts. In time, many Jews spoke of God as ‘Infinite One.’

Eventually, the symbol ‘infinite’ was given a meaning. Ancient philosophers spoke of ‘infinite’ as a thing that can be divided endlessly (or divided infinitely). In time, infinite was given other meanings. Nicholas of Cusa referred to ‘infinite’ as the opposite of ‘finite.’ And Georg Cantor used ‘infinite’ in mathematics to distinguish God from mathematical infinities. Today, I speak of ‘infinite’ as Plato’s negative of ‘not-finite.’

With the appearance of Jesus Christ, some Jews became followers of Jesus. But other strong Jewish followers of Abraham’s ‘infinite God’ did not accept Jesus as Lord because this would be a return to pantheism.

Obviously, Jews and Christians have differences that must be discussed and corrected. The Jewish monotheism is correct. But the Christian dualism is incorrect because a monotheistic God cannot be a dualistic God. However, Jews should not expect a Messiah because this expectation would be a return to pantheism and idolatry. And Christians should not expect a return of Jesus Christ because this would cause the reincarnation theory of monotheism to eliminate its consistence.

Over the years, religions have a tendency to promote new ideas without assuring that an idea is consistent with monotheism. All ideas must stand on the single foundation of God. If this foundation is not held, arbitrariness gains a new foundation of irrationality for man. Today, U.S. sciences have left the foundation of God and are developing a new foundation of irrationality. This could be a disaster for the people of the USA.

* Theological science unifies scientific thoughts with people’s thoughts about God.
