The Unity of the Name and the Definition of the Concepts of Matter and Soul
- How can we understand the world we know when we believe in the unity and uniqueness of God? How can there be a world that is not God? How is this different from saying that there is God, and there is a world, and then there are, God forbid, two authorities?
- Further to this, how do we understand definitions within the world such as what is matter, what is life, what is the soul? From what I have learned, I understand that to say that the image of God is a part of God from above is heresy, and it is not far from the Christian belief that Jesus is a kind of half-man and half-god… I saw an interpretation of the RSG on the image of God, that God here is in the sense of ruling and ruling, becoming a man in our image after our likeness – and descending from the fish of the sea and the birds of the air… So how can we talk about a difference between a living creature and matter that does not have life in it, and both are still within the framework of the “world” which is supposedly outside of God in some way
Thanks in advance,
Abraham

- I have never understood this clever question, which leads people to hold the foolish opinion that the reduction is not as simple as it seems. There is a God and there is a world that is not Him. What’s the problem with that? It’s not two authorities, but one authority that created something else.
- This is also just chatter. They mean to say that there is some similarity between man and God. That’s all. What is the similarity? Choose according to your understanding (that we have a choice, or a mind, or the shape of our body like the worlds in Kabbalah, etc.). What is there to argue about here?
