John Rockは経験論的認識論を提唱。人は生まれたままではタブララサ(白板)であり、経験により世界を認識するとする。対象そのものが持つ性質を第一性質、主観的なそれを第二性質とし、第二性質のみをわれわれは知るとした。現代的にはクオリアである。光の本質はある波長の電磁波であるが、脳はそれを色として構成する。まさに「色即是空」だ。
Anyone who becomes seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that there is s spirit manifested in the laws of the universe, a spirit vastly supelior to that of man. -Albert Einsten
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume behaind this force is the existence of a couscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter. -Max Planck
Christian history and Christian thought is not the context of the biblical writers, and so it cannot be the correct context for interpreting what they wrote.#TheBibleUnfiltered
エロヒムは霊的生命体の総称であることは何度も繰り返している。いわゆる白いキリスト教はこの概念を取り違えていわゆる一神教を生み出した。エロヒムは生物の分類の「ドメイン」とか「属」とか相当するメタ概念であり、その最も高きエロヒムがありてあるYHWH (EHYAH ASHER EHYAH) である。この詩編ではElyon (The most High)とされている。
9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature].10 And you [f]are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
この[f]とある注はVincentによるものだが、次のようにある―
Rev., made full…. Not, ye are made full in Him, but ye are in Him, made full. In Him dwells the fullness; being in Him, ye are filled.
All beings called elohim in the Hebrew Bible share a certain characteristic: they all inhabit the non-human realm. By nature, elohim are not part of the world of humankind, the world of ordinary embodiment. Elohim—as a term—indicates residence, not a set of attributes; it identifies the proper domain of the entity it describes. Yahweh, the lesser gods of His council, angels, demons, and the disembodied dead all inhabit the spiritual world.
It is the wonderful potential of human beings to repent of their sins and be baptized in the family name of YHWH and have an elder lay hands on them for the receiving of the Ruach H’Chodesh (Holy Spirit) and become a literal child of Elohim.
