EUCLID AND FIRST THESSALONIANS

Euclid and Thessalonians' Proof First Thessalonians 5:21 requires that we test or prove all things; that we hold fast to that which is good, to that which is proven to be true. http://biblehub.com/1_thessalonians/5-21.htm This wisdom is applied visually, graphically, rigorously in the ancient geometry of "Euclid 's Elements", all 13 books. It is the world's second bestseller after the Bible in the Western world at least. Patiently and methodically, from the least geometric proposition, definition, postulate, common notion, "porism," (corollary), and "lemma," (assumed for another construction), to the greatest of these, a mutual web of reinforcing precepts are interactively applied, elucidated, and demonstrated, in support of prior references, proofs. Euclid 's methods of proof and presentation are set forth, copied, mimicked meticulously, brilliantly, in Benedict Spinoza's and in Sir Isaac Newton 's classic and revered magnums opus in philosophy and physics, with his geometry and mathematics undergirding them both, unapologetically, even boldly. Returning to 1 Thess. 5:21, we are reminded yet again of the need for rigorous righteousness in religion as it is in physics & mathematics. "Prove me now herewith, said the Lord of hosts, "if I will not open unto you the windows of heaven , and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Malachi 3:10. http://biblehub.com/malachi/3-10.htm
