    The Abrahamic faiths are, philosophically speaking, an outgrowth of Zoroastrianism, which is a theology of dualism. This type of system postulates that there are two irreconcilable forces in the universe: good and evil. In Zoroastrianism, these are referred to as "wickedness" and "righteousness."

    The Law of One is a monistic theology. This states that there is only a singular force in the universe- the One Infinite Creator- and everything else is a derivation thereof.

    The poster you referenced is confused.

    "This clearly is a pantheistic mentality and it is thoroughly rejected within the Bible which claims God as a sovereign ruler and creator."

    Monotheism is actually a subset of pantheism. Thus the First Commandment which says, "Thou shalt not worship other gods before me." This statement acknowledges the existence of multiple gods, and elevates one of them over the rest. (Which we know to be the false "Yahweh".) By contrast, the Law of One is neither monotheistic nor pantheistic, but monistic.

    If the First Commandment were, "There is only one God." that would be an entirely different philosophical base, and more harmonious with the Law of One.

    So, in conclusion, I would say yes, there is a fundamental incongruency between the Law of One and the Abrahamic faiths. Which might explain why bringing the Law of One through a channel so strongly identified with an Abrahamic belief system was such a challenge. (Pun intended.)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monism

    Quote:Monism is a point of view within metaphysics which argues that the variety of existing things in the universe are reducible to one substance or reality and therefore that the fundamental character of the universe is unity. Contrasting with this point of view is dualism which asserts that there are two ultimately irreconcilable substances or realities (with consciousness and/or mind on the one hand and matter on the other) or pluralism which asserts any number of fundamental substances or realities more than two. Monisms may be theologically syncretic by proposing that there is one God who has many manifestations in the diverse religious traditions.
