One and Zero

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.” Deuteronomy 6:4

Zero is a place holder, despite popular view it does hold value. Only by placing a one next to a zero is one amplified to ten. Logically, it doesn’t work the other way around.
This actually supports Gods plan for Godly roles in marriage, church leadership, headship and numerous other topics.

Two things which are completely different placed together complement each other and become something greater than what they were apart from themselves. If one doesn’t fulfill the role, zero is devalued. If zero doesn’t fulfill the role, one is not amplified and ten disintegrates. Zero can never become one and was not created to fulfill the role of one. Just as one can never become a zero and was not created to fulfill the role of zero. It wasn’t designed to work that way. Zero in front of a one will never equate to ten. It’s not about fairness and equality, it’s about fulfilling roles. There is great quality in fulfilling roles. Only together can one and zero become ten.

Accepting anything outside this role is simply asking for confusion, chaos, and disorder and we know God is not a God of such, 1 Corinthians 14:33.

“Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.” Deuteronomy 4:2

No matter how much you doubt, you amplify, by your obedience and you have a role to fill! If you are a one, be a one, if you are a zero fear not you amplify One (perhaps a one) and become the hero! You are more than a number, you have a place, and you are more than a place holder. It’s what you stand next to, who you stand in that gives you greater value than your personal interpretation.

Hartford Institute estimates there are roughly 350,000 religious congregations in the United States. This estimate relies on the RCMS 2010 religious congregation’s census. Of those, about 314,000 are Protestant and other Christian churches, and 24,000 are Catholic and Orthodox churches. Non-Christian religious congregations are estimated at about 12,000.

Seems to me the reason why there are so many churches, so many denominations, so many leaving is they can’t simply come to terms with what God has said: He Is One, Deuteronomy 6:4, we are zeros.
Wasn’t that the same problem as back in the beginning (Genesis 3)?”

Many have chosen to add to and take away, thus removing the Authority of God, the Authority and Validity of Scripture, redefining and re-assigning value and authority to zeros thus putting the dog before The Master.
“Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.” Deuteronomy 4:2

“See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.” Deuteronomy 12:32
“If you love me, keep my commands.” John 14:15

“I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.” Revelation 22:18,19

So we can negate Gods warning, we can say His Grace sets us free, we don’t have to obey, but essentially all we’re honestly doing is placing zeros in front of One.

We complicated the matter when God calls us to settle the matter, “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18

God who IS One, cannot be amplified or glorified if zero stands in front. Zero standing in front of One still equates One. But if you put One in front of zero you get ten. You can only get increase by placing one in front of zeros, that’s how millions are made. Reverse the roles and several zeros still equate to just One!
