Biblical Axioms

Logic, Mathematics, and the Unquestionable Sovereignty of God

The only defense against religious manipulation is understanding divine logic and biblical axioms: would the Lord God have left us hostage to vain and arrogant men who wrap their hermetic digressions in philosophical grandiloquence to dazzle everyone with their unattainable mental capacity?
Did the Creator prepare His message in such a way that we should spend our lives terrified by mystical threats, appeased only by financial offerings?

Or is there a simpler and more irrefutable way through which those who are children of God can receive the discernment that enables them to distinguish between truth and deception, based on foundations that do not depend on human opinion?

Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him:
If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples;
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
(John 8:31-32)

But among the many, almost infinite, truths presented to us every day, how are we going to identify the one that is legitimate and liberating?

Fundamental Questions

First, you must answer the fundamental question of existence, yours, mine…of all Creation:

Do you truly believe in God… or do you simply find all of this a concept that, while interesting, is quite questionable?

I want to make it perfectly clear that no reader will be forced into anything, remaining completely free to disbelieve.
Likewise, I must point out that, by choosing disbelief, my texts will cease to be useful to you: you can go and distract yourself with anything else, as it will be far more beneficial to you than the content presented here.

That is true?

Many, many people always ask me the same question: how can the Bible be true if it was written by men?!?
Well, who did you want it to have been written by? A platypus?
It arose through a sudden clumping of molecules, similar to the Big Bang?!?

Well, if you truly believe in the Lord God and in His intrinsic attributes—especially here the Sovereignty of God — one must be able to understand that He has absolute control over all things, and even if the most impure human being or the most satanic spirit has risen up at some point in history to distort His Word to the point of rendering it useless… this maneuver was a complete failure!

This can be proven by analyzing passages that, in the end, do not please any of the supposed beneficiaries of such alleged, but improbable, changes:

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for those who love it.
to teach, to rebuke, to correct, to instruct in righteousness;
So that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
(2ⁿᵈ Timothy 3:16–17)

Ecclesiastical Businesses and the Distortion of the Word

The close relationship between the Bible and Truth makes it possible for one to even become synonymous with the other; however, it is quite common to find people dissecting the Word of God to find passages to be applied improperly, distorted, or anachronistically.

Generally, the owners or employees of ecclesiastical businesses use this tactic to extort, threaten, dominate, control, or launch self-help messages that are usually consumed on Sundays and have already lost their "power" before lunch on Monday... if they haven't been completely forgotten!

Later we will see that even this practice of turning Truth into a lie for commercial purposes and out of vanity is foreseen in the biblical records themselves!

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
And many will follow their dissolute ways, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
(2ⁿᵈ Peter 2:1–3)

Interpretation Tools: Vocabulary and Mathematics in the Bible

The second time I was led to believe there was a high probability of going to live permanently with God, I dedicated much of my time to Bible reading: shortly before, I was submerged up to my head in the quicksand called “spiritual battle”...and the ecclesiastical company for which he was the official pew warmer was beginning to sail on the sinking ship of... “Purposes” by Rick Warren.

It was thanks to this author that I ended up discovering glaring discrepancies between the currently available versions of the Bible and, because of this, I embarked on a journey where I ended up learning the rudiments of Greek on my own, using the New Testament “Textus Receptus” (hereinafter TR).

One of the skills that can greatly facilitate understanding the content presented in the Bible is... vocabularyThe meaning of words often points to subtle references, especially for the functionally illiterate, capable of revealing a true horizon of understanding and freedom to those who grasp it.

Another, less conventional skill, also helps a lot when coupled with text interpretation: mathematical rudiments!
While this is obvious to some, many completely ignore this characteristic, and that is the main reason for this post: to introduce the... Mathematics in the Bible as a tool to facilitate understanding of the Scriptures.

Just as in basic arithmetic, the Biblical Axioms do not depend on agreement to be true. God's logic is absolute.

Mathematics in the Bible and Exclusivity — Analyzing John 14:6

Let us examine here, now, and by analyzing words recorded as being from the Lord Jesus Christ himself, an essential question concerning the foundations of the legitimate faith of those who claim to be Christian:

Jesus said to him:
I am the way, and the truth, and the life;
No one comes to the Father except through me.
(John 14:6)

This is a very weighty phrase, with several inferences to be analyzed, and one that, at the time when I was comparing the various biblical versions with each other and with the Textus Receptus, I felt great emotion while translating and scrutinizing.
Allow me, for illustrative purposes only, to present the text in the original Greek and then break it down:

λεγει αυτω ο ιησους εγω ειμι η οδος και η αληθεια και η ζωη ουδεις ερχεται προς τον πατερα ει μη δι εμου.

The Logic of the Original Greek

  • εγω ειμι η οδος (ego eimi i odos) = I am the way / the route / the street / the door;
  • και (kai) = additive conjunction “and”, which is equivalent to the plus sign (+);
  • η (i) = definite pronoun o /a, which is different from the indefinite pronoun “um” [ένα(éna)];
  • αληθεια (alitheia) = truth;
  • ζωη (zoi) = life;
  • ουδεις (oudeis) = no, in the sense of negation, that is, nobody;
  • ερχεται (erchetai) = comes, which is completely different from vai [πηγαίνω (pigaíno)];
  • ουδεις ερχεται (oudeis erchetai) = nobody COMES, which is absolutely distinct from “nobody GOES” [ουδεις πηγαίνω (oudeis pigaíno)];
  • προς (pros) = for;
  • τον πατερα (ton patera) = the father – note that “τον” is also the masculine singular definite article in the accusative case, used before words beginning with a vowel, κ, ξ, π, τ, ψ, γκ, ντ or μπ, or in formal language.
  • ει μη δι εμου (ei mi di emou) = except through me.

Please don't ignore that I did this in 2005, when this didn't exist yet. abundance of information What we have now discovered: everything I found was in the most amateurish and laborious way possible, and I confess, I expected to find some argument that could be used by idolaters or atheists to discredit Christ, but it was with great emotion and joy that I was able to find in this phrase the foundation of monotheism.

The Lord Jesus Christ simply took upon himself the responsibility that no founder of any other religion could ever assume: he practically "beat his chest" and affirmed himself as the most perfect model of behavior (the way), the most reliable source of knowledge (truth), and the absolute Lord of existence (life).

This characteristic, which at that time may have been mistaken for a presumptuous reference to mere biological existence, later, in light of His resurrection, revealed itself as the key to immortality!

The Definite Article “The”: A Unit of Sovereignty

When Christ said that He was “THE” way instead of just “A” way, He destroyed that popular phrase that “all roads lead to God” and cursed ecumenism, so politically correct and popular in our day.

Mathematically speaking, the article "O" is equivalent to 1 and only 1Even if there are 2 or 9999, only 1 is what counts!

The Logic of the Narrow Gate: The statistical disproportion between Salvation and Damnation negates ecumenism.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?
What fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?
Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
(2ⁿᵈ Corinthians 6:14–15)

By asserting Himself as "the truth," He committed Himself to always delivering the complete content, without acting like, for example, people and companies of our time who do everything to hide their wrongdoings "under the rug," aiming to achieve a good image at any cost.

Many people — especially "clever" atheists — think they have a devastating argument against Christianity when they cite how the... Lot's daughters or David's behavior after seeing Bathsheba taking a bath… unable to understand that such facts only prove the Word's commitment to Truth, even when it means "cutting into its own flesh" and without concealing absolutely condemnable facts.

To make his statement more absolute, by saying "come to the Father" he assumed himself to be God the Creator personified, a fact that could be questioned if he had said "go to the Father," making Him merely a sender, someone who might be playing a merely supporting role, as many religions believe.

Finally, these words of Christ are characterized as a Biblical Axiom For those who believe. And to understand the depth of this, we need to understand what this word really means.

Biblical Axioms and Attributes of God: The Logic of the Absolute

I searched the internet for the meaning of "Axiom" and found definitions that fit perfectly into our theological analysis:

  • Masculine noun (ending in “A”, to the despair of the stupid proponents of “neutral language”!) and refers to evidence whose proof is unnecessary because it is obvious;
  • A self-evident principle;
  • In mathematics – a common notion; a general statement accepted without discussion: "the part is smaller than the whole" is an example of an axiom;
Illustration on a purple background defining the concept of Axiom: a sliced pie visually demonstrates the mathematical principle that "the part will always be less than the whole".
Visualizing Euclid's classic definition: there are truths in mathematics (and in the Bible) that are self-evident and unquestionable.
  • In Philosophy – a premise considered necessarily evident and true, the foundation of a demonstration, yet itself undemonstrable, originating, according to the rationalist tradition, from innate principles of consciousness or, according to the empiricists, from generalizations of empirical observation: the Aristotelian principle of contradiction – “nothing can be and not be simultaneously” – has been considered since antiquity a fundamental axiom of philosophy.

A perfect Bible passage for introducing this concept into the Christian life is:

So what?
If some were unbelieving, will their unbelief nullify God's faithfulness?
Absolutely not; let God always be true, and every man a liar.
(Romans 3:3-4a)

If you're not absolutely sure about that... the mistake lies in wanting to identify as "Christian" when—the hard truth, regardless of your good intentions—you're nothing more than an unbeliever.
Shocking, isn't it?

Rest assured, I didn't say that to annoy or spite anyone, and please, there's no point in throwing a tantrum: when I solemnly promised that I wouldn't go to anyone's profile to express myself, much less debate, my intention was to protect myself from those who come here and, instead of following the development of a line of reasoning throughout the posts, want to create controversy or proselytize for their ecclesiastical businesses.

The fact is that I simply I need to expose the truth. that institutions have been neglecting throughout history, out of fear of preaching; the Truth that is being covered up in the name of politically correct discourse; the Truth that is love without, at any moment, ceasing to be justice!

Since the idea is to gradually add information and increase the complexity of the content, I won't go into minute details in these early stages. Let's list some good ones. Biblical Axioms to separate what is eternal from what is a human invention.

The Great Axioms: The Logic of God's Attributes

The Axiom of Omnipresence

Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there also.
(Psalm 139:7-8)

The prerogative of the Lord God, as the Creator of all that exists, is to be free from any limiting laws, capable of accomplishing things that our restricted minds cannot even conceive, such as, according to this passage, being in all places at the same time!

This is called OMNIPRESENCE e It's an axiom..

The Axiom of Omnipotence

All the peoples of the earth are as nothing before him.
He does as he pleases with the armies of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth.
No one can resist his hand or say to him, 'What have you done?'‘
(Daniel 4:35)

Without having to answer to anyone, the Lord God does what He wants, when He wants, and how He wants!

Please, NEVER confuse this with the insanity of provoking Him to do things that are not in His plan. It's pointless to try to subvert this humanly inconceivable power through cunning tricks like imagining Him creating another god more powerful than Himself, or "a stone so heavy that He could not lift it," or even provoking a reversal in the flow of time to correct something that happened in the past…

Moreover, this question of time is so beautiful and profound that it itself... Mathematics in the Bible It suggests dimensions that we barely understand.
But, going back to talking about the power that is God, his name is OMNIPOTENCE e It's an axiom..

The Axiom of Omniscience

Aren't two birds sold for a penny?
And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father's will.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
(Matthew 10:29-30)

I've heard people say things like “"God must be very busy."” or “"God wouldn't waste his time on that."”…and these are phrases that limit the Creator to a poor, if not offensive, anthropomorphic perspective of reality!

While human beings boast about the possibility of the emergence of a "quantum computer," the Lord God already knows how, when, and why the processor core will melt!
While we are going about our business, bound to the present, imagining and trying to build the future and, even unintentionally, forgetting the past, the Eternal Father has already seen all of this and is only waiting for us, seated on His throne, on the day of judgment.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary.
His understanding is unfathomable.
(Isaiah 40:28)

This ultimately renders the humanist concept of "free will" useless, because whatever decision we make—right or left, yes or no… to kill, to die, or to let live—He already knew the moment, the reason, and all the possible and minimal consequences of that act, making it impossible to surprise Him: that's what it's called... OMNISCIENCE and yes, also It's an axiom..

Conclusion: Faith as a Logical Outcome

To tell the truth, the dictionary entry for "axiom" would only have a perfect image alongside it if we could take a photograph of the Lord God:

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.,
says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come,
The Almighty.
(Revelation 1:8)

É so much power and such glory Some lazy-minded human beings see this as the perfect job opportunity in the world: they start calling themselves His emissaries and, without even bothering to carefully examine the Scriptures, they go around making baseless promises and prophecies.

They guarantee things that were never truly promised, manipulating the emotions of the masses and filling the ecclesiastical enterprises they found with stubborn goats who—in the ignorant illusion that they are sheep—become stubborn and wear blinders that prevent them from looking anywhere… not even upwards!

This is a fact that, even though it was prophesied (and therefore is inevitable), still causes me anger and disgust to see the size of the crowd that is being deceived in the name of a good that is not true.

There is much to explain based strictly on the Bible, but to conclude our analysis of logic and mathematics in the Bible, I will leave you with just one more biblical axiom followed by some questions for the reader to reflect upon sincerely:

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
(Romans 10:17)

Without forgetting that Christ embodies the Word, is there any other passage that presents any other possible valid origins for genuine faith?

What is the origin of your faith? How did you become involved with the gospel?

  • For the emotion?
  • For the promise of a life full of riches on earth and, subsequently, eternal life in heaven?
  • For the convenience of being able to continue living the same lives as any sinner, but "sanctified" by being "gospel"?

Are you living based on Old Testament promises and waiting for miracle crusades?
Do you truly know the Bible, the Word of God, for yourself?
Are you able to defend it and develop concrete arguments based on it… or, when faced with a question, do you prefer to run off to find out what your pastor's answer is?
What biblical solidity or maturity did he convey to you?

Finally, I believe we have managed to present a solid definition of what a Biblical Axiom And how mathematical logic supports the exclusivity of Christ.

In a future opportunity, following this line of logical reasoning, we will address the... TAUTOLOGY biblical and some serious implications that very few people bother to consider.
After all… it's easier not to think about such terrible things, isn't it?
