DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richard Wurmbrand delves into the mystique of numbers, asserting that
God's oneness is intertwined with the concept of unity and synthesis of
conflicting forces. He explains that man, like God, is a composite unity
of body, soul, and spirit, reflecting the divine nature. Wurmbrand
highlights the Hebrew language's distinction between absolute unity and
composite unity, using the example of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as
a composite unity within God. He emphasizes the idea that every
individual, as a reflection of God's oneness, is interconnected and
shares in God's divine nature.

The assertion that God is One, is part of the mystique of numbers. If
God is identical with the number one, He must have qualities in common
with this number. There is no such thing as an Absolute One. "One"
simply represents a synthesis of conflicting forces. Man is one because
he is a synthesis of body, soul and spirit. These again are a synthesis
of other entities. An atom is a synthesis of conflicting elementary
particles. The Hebrew language has two expressions for the word "One".
Absolute unity and composite unity. God is called a Composite Unity - a
plural word - "Eloheinu" : We maintain that God is divisible, because
number one is divisible - Father, Son and Holy Ghost. All God's children
share His divine Nature. John 10:34, "Ye are gods." (We are made god,
but GOD remains ONE.)

The number one is also capable of being multiplied, but unlike all other
numbers, because however much one multiplies it by itself it always
remains one. "One" is the only number whose square root is equal to
itself: That is why Jesus, as man, was able to say, "He that hath seen
me hath seen the Father."

So we have retained the saying of the early Christians, "Every time you
look at a brother you look at God."

God has been called One, because every number is a quantity related to
One and so the whole creation is related to God.
