God And His Coexistent Relations To The Universe:
Author: George D. ShollenbergerPublisher: Author House
ISBN: 1491855320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
The author says that the social contract theory of John Locke, the immortal souls of humans, and doubts of the divinity of Jesus (by Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams) caused the separation of the U.S. colonists from England on July 4, 1776. However, the author says that the USA has lost its God and has no facts about the universe in which we live. He also says that Locke's social contract theory and the immortal souls of humans were never installed by Congress. And he says that the doubts of the divinity of Jesus were never verified. In his new book, the author opens his widely respected mind to find answers to the above unknowns. In his studies of the immortal souls, the author concludes that all nations must become equal so that the immortal souls of every Little God can be reborn naturally by God. His study provides answers of all doubts about the divinity of Jesus and says that only one active God exists and governs the immortal souls and the universe forever. In time, only one religion will exist.

Book Description
THE GENERAL PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK The general purpose of this book is to build the minds of all Little Gods, who were created by God, who also created the universe. About 4.4 million years ago, Little Gods appeared on planet earth. Today, billions of Little Gods exist and have developed their minds after they found that God and the universe have no end. However, the minds of all Little Gods did not develop until counting tokens appeared about 9,000 years ago. Then, 5000 years later, the Little Gods added symbols to these tokens. These symbols were used in early texts and later in national languages, religious scriptures, scientific books, newspapers, etc. For the last 4000 years, many religious leaders were saying that the symbols in scriptures are sacred and are inspired by God. In 2006, I found that God is infinite and unlimited. Six years later, I found that symbols are finite and limited. These findings prove that scriptures cannot be sacred. I confirmed these findings with new research on Greek writings and the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. In time, I expect all Little Gods to worship the same God. The purpose of my book is thus to bring all Little Gods together under one God.
Nicholas of Cusa and the Aristotelian Tradition
Author: Emmanuele VimercatiPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110630060
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The volume focuses on the relation between Cusanus and Aristotle or the Aristotelian tradition. In recent years the attention on this topic has partially increased, but overall the scholarship results are still partial or provisional. The book thus aims at verifying more systematically how Aristotle and Aristotelianism have been received by Cusanus, in both their philosophical and theological implications, and how he approached the Aristotelian thought. In order to answer these questions, the papers are structured according to the traditional Aristotelian sciences and their reflection on Cusanus' thought. This allows to achieve some aspects of interest and originality: 1) the book provides a general, but systematic analysis of Aristotle's reception in Cusanus' thought, with some coherent results. 2) Also, it explores how a philosopher and theologian traditionally regarded as Neoplatonist approached Aristotle and his tradition (including Thomas Aquinas), what he accepted of it, what he rejected, and what he tried to overcome. 3) Finally, the volume verifies the attitude of a relevant Christian philosopher and theologian of the Humanistic age towards Aristotle.

Rationality in Perception in Medieval Philosophy
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004537716
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
How we come to know the external world has intrigued thinkers throughout the history of philosophy. Medieval philosophers understood that a theory of perception requires an account of the categorization of sensory information: to perceive things as being dangerous or beneficial and even as being individuals that belong to certain kinds (e.g., ‘this is a dog’). A key question is whether this requires the intervention of rational cognitive capacities, cooperating with sensory ones in normal instances of perception. The contributions to this volume investigate how thinkers from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries answer this and other related questions about human perception. Contributors are Fabrizio Amerini, Joël Biard, Véronique Decaix, Christian Kny, Lydia Schumacher, José Filipe Silva, and Jörg Alejandro Tellkamp.
Reading Cusanus
Author: Clyde Lee MillerPublisher: Catholic University of America Press
ISBN: 0813232120
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This text presents readings of six of the most important theoretical works of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1463). Though Nicholas's writings have long been studied as either scholastic Aristotelian or proto-Kantian, Miller locates Cusanus squarely in the Christian Neoplatonic tradition. He demonstrates how Nicholas worked on his own original synthesis of that tradition by fashioning a conjectural view of main categories of Christian thought: God, the universe, Jesus Christ and human beings. Each reading reveals how Nicholas's project of learned ignorance is played out in striking metaphors for God and the relation of God to creation. The six works read span the last quarter of Nicholas's life (1440-1463) and include On Learned Ignorance, Conjectures, The Layman - About Mind, The Vision of God, The Not Other and The Hunt of Wisdom. These readings are explications of the text; they interpret each work as a whole and focus in particular on the themes that order the work and how these get played out in its details.
