Schema of
interpretations
about God,
the world, mankind, and religion
Please see the Reflections on the Scheme, opening each Part of the Scheme.
Historical Note before the Reflections
I started a new vision of Christianity with this essay Schema of interpretations about God, the
world, mankind, and religion; although, this was not the end, yet; I
updated these ideas in other essays. Some of them are:
Faith, Grace
and Supernatural is a World of Science
The Paradox
of Some Christian Teachings
My
Name is Existence, To Be, "I Am"
I have to update them again in the essays:
Schema about the Nature, Attributes and
Communication with God - The "Presentness"
of God
Conversation with God about his presentness which complete the second Schema
Presence of
God in space or his presenceness
