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

The connection between our world and a higher world of monotheistic God was not understood by man until the symbol ‘relation’ emerged from the mind of Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century. He found this new concept when he was combining different ideas in his mind. But Moses came close to this symbol long ago when he identified family ‘relations’ in the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament.

Nicholas of Cusa also came close to identifying the concept ‘relation’ when he converted the earlier Christian Trinity (Father-Son-Holy Spirit) into a scientific expression (One-Equality-Union). (See Cusa’s book ‘On Learned Ignorance,’ Bk. I, Ch. 8.) He did not connect the scientific version of the Trinity to our world. Instead, he conjectured that three different trinities mediate God from our lower world. (See Wertz, William F., Trans. (1993) ‘Toward a New Council of Florence,’ Washington, D.C.: Schiller Institute, Inc. This book includes the writing of Cusa on conjectures.)

In my book, The First Scientific Proof of God, Part IIb, I connect Cusa’s scientific Trinity, One-Equality-Union, to our lower world logically. Our world is thus defined conceptually as ‘many-inequalities-related.’ Cusa did not realize that the concept ‘union’ must be opposed and is opposed by the concept ‘relations.’ When modern science emerged in the 17th century, man did not know whether relations were physical things or not. Relations are spiritual ideas, not physical things.

As seen, dialectical thinking allows any human being to face God immediately through any pair of opposites in our symbolic language systems. Obviously, man’s religions have been hiding God from their congregations.
