Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXXXXXV (Reforming the Field of Religion, IV)
When the Jews say that God inspired scribes to create scripture, this religion means that the Spirit of God is in the scribes, who then dictates messages to the scribes who produce the Old Testament. Christians accepted this cause and effect process and created the New Testament. Believing that the Old Testament and New Testament contain messages from the same God, the scripture known as the Bible was created. Muslims say that the angel Gabriel revealed the scripture known as the Qur’an to Muhammad.
The truths of all three scriptures can be challenged because we have more knowledge today about Abraham’s monotheistic God. For instance, we now know that God does not live among the stars we see in the evening sky.
We also know that our world and God’s world are very different. As finite things, we cannot enter God’s infinite world. And since God is infinite, God cannot appear in our finite world. So, today we know that God exists in a ‘higher world.’ Thus, if people go to Heaven after death, they cannot go to God’s world. But we are finding that higher stages of life exist in our finite world with Georg Cantor’s transfinite numbers. So better finite worlds seem to exist.
Further, since we found that a monotheistic God is both maximum and minimum in the 15th century, we found that our finite world is curved and protected by God. But this means that an astral world for angels does not exist in between God’s world and our finite world.
Furthermore, the word ‘in’ has gained a second meaning. The initial meaning was applied to ‘containers.’ For instance, a glass is a container in which water can be poured. The second meaning is new and can be applied to many different things that are functionally related.
The newness I bring to religions should not affect the current thinking of religious people. I am merely correcting and expanding the current scriptural material. Religious fundamentalists must thus now realize that they no longer have a foundation on which to impose their beliefs.
