What bible verses could be related to a science project on how battery is made out of potatos?
Their people, drained of power, are dismayed and put to shame. They are like plants in the field, like tender green shoots, like grass sprouting on the roof, scorched before it grows up. 2 Kings 19:26I will teach you about the power of God; the ways of the Almighty I will not conceal. Job 27:11You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. PS 77:14Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. PS 147:5For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3"20
Could i get a Jehovah's witness to be my boyfriend if i am atheist?
There's no law about it! Although Jehovah's Witnesses believe that non-believers are "in the World but not of the World", so he may have some (to your mind) peculiar beliefs - not least that the World is about to end (that's been their belief more or less since the Church was founded).AnswerJehovah's Witnesses believe that God created the heavens (heavens meaning both spiritual heavens, and physical heavens or, in another sense, space) and that he created Earth.There is a scripture that backs up this belief, and it's the very first verse, of the very first chapter, of the very first book, Genesis.http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/index.htmGenesis 1:1Marrying only in the Lord (I don't know if marrying only in the Lord is either speaking about Jehovah or Jesus, you're gonna have to look that up, sorry).1 Corinthians 7:39Deuteronomy 7:3, 4Nehemiah 13:26I hope this has expanded your knowledge, curious one.Yours sincerely,A fellow Jehovah's Witness.HelloI believe the answer is no. It says in the bible (sorry I don't have one to hand so can't quote the scriptures) That you shouldn't court without intending to marry and to marry in only the Lord which I understand is a fellow witness. I know this as I have a Jehovah's witness boyfriend and I'm not. We've been dating for a while and I didn't know til he told me. And I'm sure i want to be with him and I'm studying with other witnesses and think its an amazing thing to be a part of. My advice is if your sure about the bloke and hes sure about you one way or another your going to have to join or hes going to have to leave im afraid :(You are just looking for trouble. If you care for this guy, you would not ask him to abandon his faith, and you are fooling yourself if you think you can live this faith lifestyle in your heart.You are contemplating fomenting a drama with a sad ending for all. You are just a drama Queen in desparate search of an audience. Look at all these good people who took time to answer you. Grow up.
Where in the Bible does the word danger appears?
This is in the NIV1 Samuel 20:21Then I will send a boy and say, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I say to him, 'Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,' then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.Proverbs 22:3A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.Proverbs 27:12The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.Ecclesiastes 12:5when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets.Matthew 5:22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.Luke 8:23As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.Acts 19:27There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited, and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty."Acts 19:40As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it."Acts 27:9Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Fast. So Paul warned them,Romans 8:35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?2 Corinthians 11:26I have been constantly on the move. I have been in dangerfrom rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in dangerin the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers.Hebrews 6:8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned
How do you find out your bra cup size?
The most simplest way to determine an estimatedcup (and bra) size is this:1. Remove all clothing from your torso up (no shirt, no bra, etc.)2. Grab a cloth measuring tape.3. Take the measuring tape, and wrap it even around your ribcage, underneath your breasts. Pull the tape snugly.4. Record that number.5. Take the measuring tape and wrap it evenly around the fullest part of your breasts.6. Record that number.Now, take the number from Direction 4 (ribcage)and subtract it from the number you got in Direction 6 (bust).Example:Bust: 35 inchesRibcage: 26 inches35-26=9There is a 9 inch difference between ribcage and bust.Now you know the number part (the band size) of the bra size is 26, and you need to figure out the cup size. Since there is a 9 inch difference, you need to count up to the 9th bra letter. You can use the chart below or the one on this website: http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/Bra_sizing_by_country#USUK cups: A B C D DD E F FF G GG H HH J JJ K KK L LLUS cups: A B C D DD/E DDD/F DDDD/G H I J K L M NThe 9th cup is bolded in both the UK and US cups, so our example person now has a starting cup size of a UK G or a US I, or a bra size of 26G (UK) and 26I (US). Unfortunately, no US company makes I cups in 26 bands (or any band under 34), or even makes 26 bands, so our example peson would want to stick to their UK size of 26G.However, this simple method in pratice only gives a one-dimmensional take on your bra size. To get a much more accurate estimate, you will need to take 5 different measurements. For more in-depth reading, I recommend going through these websites as they have a wealth of information about determing bra size:http://bustyresources.wikia.comhttp://reddit.com/r/abrathatfitshttp://bratabase.comIt must also be noted that you do not add inches to your ribcage measurement, and do not measure for a band size underneath your armpits. This is incorrect and will cause you to come up with an inaccurate bra size, which can cause numerous health issues (back pain, underwires digging, scabbing, sores, breast pain, blocked milk ducts, damaged breast tissue, etc.) In the correct size you not be painfully aware you are wearing a bra (no stabbing, nothing), and you should also get a great lift and shape. For examples of inaccurate bra-fitting methods, you can read this page: http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/Bra-fitting_method#Inaccurate_methods

Thoughts dealing with Deuteronomy Chapter 4 Verse 30?
Deuteronomy 4:30 reminds the Israelites that even if they stray from God and face challenges, they can always find Him again when they turn back with all their heart and soul. It emphasizes God's compassion and willingness to forgive those who seek to return to Him. This verse serves as a message of hope and redemption, encouraging believers to stay steadfast in times of trial.
Why are Jesus' words contradicting?
Many times Jesus said "You have heard it said ... (and he would quote a passage from the Old Testament), but I tell you ..." (and he would give a new commandment. See Matthew 5 - bold italicized words below for examples). It would seem that Jesus is contradicting the prophets of old, but rather he is setting a higher standard which is indicated by his words in verse 20 which says "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." Apparently Jesus is correcting the false notion that God's standards are less than perfect, for he concludes his discourse with "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Of course, no one but God can be perfect, but Jesus is addressing Jews who think they are good enough for heaven by their own righteousness. By setting a higher standard than they currently live by, Jesus is showing them their need for a Savior, who can impart his righteousness unto those who realize that "apart from him they can do nothing". (John 15:5)This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. (Romans 3:22-25)Matthew 5:17-48 (New International Version)The Fulfillment of the Law 17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.Murder 21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.25"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.Adultery 27"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.Divorce 31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.Oaths 33"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.An Eye for an Eye 38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.Love for Enemies 43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
What is Matthew chapter 5?
This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. Here it is in the NIV translation:The Beatitudes1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted.5Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the earth.6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be filled.7Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.8Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.9Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called sons of God.10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.Salt and Light13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.The Fulfillment of the Law17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.Murder21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.

Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.Adultery27"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'[e] 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.Divorce31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.Oaths33"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.An Eye for an Eye38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person.

Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.Answer:Matthew 5 is called the "Sermon on the Mount" by many... but because of the translators' insertion of "chapters and verses"... it's not commonly recognized that Jesus' "sermon' goes on through chapter 7.The entire "sermon" [Matthew chapters 5-7] is actually Jesus' description of the "Character traits of God's Children" that man needs to learn and develop if he hopes to enter into the Kingdom of God."Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven." (Matt.7:21)
What is the concept of the 'Oneness of God'?
I have been a Oneness Pentecostal minister for 26 years, and can assure you that most of the answers below are far-removed from the true Biblical definition of the Oneness of God. The SHORT answer is that God is a single, solitary Spirit known throughout the Old Testament as the Father. He was also known as the Holy Spirit, and in the New Testament as the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost conceived Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary, indicating that the Holy Ghost is also the Father. The Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Christ. ONE SPIRIT incarnate in ONE BODY - Jesus Christ. See: The Oneness of God at http://kenraggio.com/KR-Oneness.htm_________________________________For the Christian explanation of the Oneness of God, see link below.OnenessMeans there is only one being here and every where...as you have done on to one you have done on to yourselfAnswerThe Oneness of God refers to the fact that God is One and there is no other. The teaching on the Oneness of God developed during the time of the prophets as the Jews came to realise that there is only one God. (Strange as it may seem, Jews did not always believe this; several psalms refer to the gods of the heathens).For Christians, this Oneness of God is maintained even though they believe in the Trinity because the Trinity is three Persons in one God not 3 gods. Although this was revealed by Jesus, it is not something to be explained as it is a mystery in much the same way that the Incarnation (Jesus being God-incarnate and thus fully human and fully divine) is a mystery.Answer"What is the Oneness of God?"The oneness of his worship: God alone should be worshiped. No saint, angel, prophet, human, rock etc. should be prayed to only God.The oneness of his lordship: Only God is lord over all. He has no helper or intercessor he alone rules all creation and forgives sins.The oneness of his names and attributes: In Islam God has 99 names and attributes belonging only to him.in the Quran Surah 112: 1-4: "Say: He is Allah, the One, Allah, the Self-Sufficient Master upon Whom all depend, He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none who is comparable unto Him."In Islam, this is called Tawhid, and is one of the central beliefs of the Shahaddah, the declaration of faith made by all Muslims. Shirk is one of the greatest sins and includes worshipping idols etc. and anything else contradicting Tawhid.AnswerDeuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one Lord.Ephesians 4:5 "one Lord, one faith, one baptism."John 10:30 "I and the Father are One."Matt. 28:19 Baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.Acts 2:38 - Revelation of the name..Baptizing in the Name of Jesus.Comforter which is the Holy Ghost is coming in the Name of Jesus. (John 14:26I believe Jesus is God incarnate - Jesus is the fully revealed name of God. No longer do we have to call him by his titles but by the name revealed to us in the NT.AnswerGod never called Himself Allah - He called Himself EL or YHWHAllah is the name of a Moon God which is not the God who created Adam and EveElohim is a plurality associated with God. One God manifested in multiple ways.Just like humans are multifaceted, we were created in the image and likenes of God.We are one person, yet we have a spirit, soul and live in a body. That makes our nature 3 yet one person still.Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus was fully divine and fully human.AnswerThe concept of the oneness of God to put it in a nutshell is Omnipotence that is, there is nothing outside God. God is everywhere at all time in the past the present and the future simultaneously. There is nothing out side of God. God is the creator.This bring us to the point that every thing is God because God is everything. (this is pantheism)AnswerGod is Oneness, One without second, pure Being, not separate. God includes everything, and allows all to be. Without God, nothing exists, so all that exists is the Oneness. It's only an illusion of separation, an illusion of not Oneness, this is what is needed to be seen through. Through the illusion, this and that is seen, this and that is wanted or not wanted, but through Oneness, nothing is lacking.AnswerBasically an elaboration of the answer above:Many sources, including Ra, Edgar Cayce, and others, say that the Oneness essentially got lonely. It needed to do something. It needed to create.So it conceptualized the idea of breaking Itself up into all these parts, knowing that the parts would be able to evolve by their own free will, making their own decisions. Things would happen that the Oneness was not yet able to understand or comprehend. The parts would have essentially their own creative ability. They would be Co-Creators.The Great Plan was that at the end, after this entire cycle of universal evolution was complete, all of the parts that had evolved on their own would independently recognize their God Consciousness, renounce separation, embrace unity, and return to the totality of Oneness. The One Creator from that very fact would be highly enhanced, because all of this wonderful creative stuff had transpired in that transition from ''One'' to ''many'' and back to ''One.So God is evolving, and not some static Being that just sits there and waits for everybody to catch up. God is experiencing our evolution with us.It is too easy to separate ourselves from God. God is not evolving with us because we are God evolving, when that evolution ends all will be complete and realise all. This is a bit of a scary thought. It means that we are all the same individual and when this realisation is finally realised it means that individuality is the ultimate illusion. So, in other words, the human race is God.AnswerThe Oneness of God; God the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three who are the same God. We can't be expected to fully understand some concepts, much like the 'Oneness of God'. All we can really do is theroize from what we read or believe.God is everywhere, He is in everything at all times in all times. That doesn't, however, mean that everything is God. Because, if everything were God, then everything would be perfect, or in perfection. As it is, we are definitely far from perfection.AnswerThe concept of unity has various names - in Hinduism, Advaita, in Christian mysticism Solipsism. Both mean "not two". People question whether God exists, without thinking whether the world exists, or they themselves exist. In terms of Advaita, unity means only one of these three can be real; the unknown " I " is real, and is another name for God, "you" and the world are shadows or dreams of this Essence or Self. It is as though (in the words of Spinoza) the world is the mere reflection of God that is a failed attempt of the mind to understand, or a reflection of an unseen in a mirror, or God seen through a kaleidocope called mind. Or that we can only see reality through cracked spectacles, with divisions that aren't really there. In reality there is only one drop in the ocean, without any qualifications (age, gender, colour, etc); so that what we see as 6 billion people is really God seen darkly. Without self-imposed limitations or boundaries, every drop is the whole Ocean. When the dreamer awakes, all the dreams vanish, since they never had a separate existence.AnswerOneness of God means to worship God alone; thiscis to believe that nobody is equal to God in terms of power or attributes. If someone says Sri Ram/Muhammad/Buddha/Saibaba is God, he is either telling a lie or denying Him altogether, because God alone can be God.AnswerGod by very name is all powerful, all pervading. He is beyond time and space but encompassing every thing including our time and space. He has no end and no beginning. He is beyond description as he is not discernible by our senses. This is the Hindu concept of God. Such being the case there cannot be separate Gods for Hindus and Christians. If we accept there are separate gods then both are not powerful Gods as there will be separate domains for them.This is the Hindu concept of the oneness of God. Differences in religions are due to approaches in preaching, culture, practice and beliefs subservient to the main universal belief.The concept of the oneness of God implies that there is only one God. This statement can be interpreted in two ways: "Therefore all gods except mine must be false", or "Therefore all religions differ only in scriptures, ceremonies, beliefs, and teachings; they may have been divinely inspired to suit people off different races and temperaments, and many may include misunderstandings and errors, but obviously they all worship one God under different names". The latter seems to me the more reasonable.God is All-inclusive and nothing is 'other' than God. If an ocean is thought of as a collection of millions of drops, then the next stage is to imagine skins round each drop and differences between them. In reality, the ocean is real but the drops are a derivation; there is only one undivided drop. Just so, the universe is God seen, "sub species aeternitatis" as Spinoza puts it, by the mind. The mind is flawed, like a kaleidoscope; we pop the notion "God" into it, and it can't cope with such a vast unity. The best it can do is to produce a manyness, which we call the universe. Within this congeries we name imaginary 'parts' as good or evil, perfect and imperfect. But these are human concepts that totally distort the Reality, that is pure consciousness and has no such qualities itself. God is everything, but everything is not God. Since there is nothing but God, anything 'else' is a mental distortion that only appears to be real on account of having God as its source or essence. A single, undivided spirit. The universe does not in reality consist of even 1% physical matter, and 'we' are neither bodies made of chemicals nor minds made of thoughts. Only 'my' faulty consciousness confines 'me' as an individual to a single body. We don't 'have' spirits, spirit has us.--Answer4. Consider, Brethren, this one thing, and see if even in multitude itself anything pleases, but this oneness. See how great a number, through God's mercy, you are: who could bear you, if you did not mind one thing? Whence in this many is this quiet? Give oneness, and it is a people; take oneness away, and it is a crowd. For what is a crowd, but a disordered multitude? But give ear to theApostle: Now I beseech you, brethren. He was speaking to a multitude; but he wished to make them all one. Now I beseech you, brethren, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfected in the same mind, and in the same knowledge. And in another place, That ye be of one mind, thinking one thing, doing nothing through strife or vainglory. And the Lord prays to the Father touching them that are His: that they may be one even as We are One. And in the Acts of the Apostles; And the multitude of them that believed were of one soul, and of one heart. Therefore, Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His Name in one together. For one thing is necessary, that celestial Oneness, the Oneness in which the Father, and the Son, and Holy Spirit are One. See how the praise of Unity is commended to us. Undoubtedly our God is Trinity. The Father is not the Son the Son is not the Father, the Holy Spirit is neither the Father, nor the Son, but the Spirit of both; and yet these Three are not Three Gods, nor Three Almighties; but One God, Almighty, the whole Trinity is one God; because One thing is necessary. To this one thing nothing brings us, except being many we have one heart.St Agustine's Sermon 53 on the New Testamentit means that there is only one god he is alone and has no one with him hope that helps in simple forms:)
