Buddhism & the Underlying Theory of the Bible
According to a Buddhist Sutra, everything is empty and emptiness is everything in this world, so that we have to learn true and sacred words to enlighten ourselves to come across to nirvana or the Buddhist heaven allowing for deliverance from earthly bondage.
This Buddhism notion of emptiness must lead to discovery and development of zero in India around the 5th century, although the Sutra at issue was written around the 7th century.
With G, the God or infinity, and M, the mankind,
(1) M + G = G, since the God never changes because of existence or addition of the mankind, since God is infinity and the mankind is finite, based on the most reliable presumption that the God exists at a higher level than the mankind.
The formula (1) can be converted to:
(2) M = G - G, which means the mankind is zero from the God's standpoint; however it is unknown what "G - G" means but formally possible as zero, since existence subtracted from existence can be non-existence which is zero.
Yet, this must be the definition of the mankind: a result of the operation of subtracting the God, the source of existence, or infinity from itself.
G means existence, while zero means non-existence. But the mankind really exists, which means the mankind is not non-existence from the mankind's standpoint. Therefore, the mankind must comprehend G, the source of existence, or the mankind should be expressed in the formula (2) where G is included rather than simple zero.
However, if we deny the God, the sole source of existence of everything, the mankind should be expressed as simply "zero" but not mysterious "G - G."
The formula (1) can be converted to:
(3) M/G + G/G = G/G, which can be converted as follows:
(4) M/G = G/G - G/G = 0, which is formally possible, although the meaning of G/G is not known but formally possible. Therefore, we can confirm that we are nothing or of non-existence compared to the God.
(5) M/G = 0, which can be converted formally as follows:
(6) M = G x 0, where G is the sole source of existence of everything, and 0 means nothing or non-existence. Anyway, we can be formally directly linked to the God, which means that our existence is assured although with 0, nothing or non-existence, as an inevitable factor.
This analysis explains the meaning of a passage in the Bible: The God created a man to the semblance of Him, however, using non-existence or zero. Therefore the mankind must face death, which realizes non-existence, while the God lives and exists forever.
Or rather, we should think that although we were born with sacred features like the God, as time goes by, the power of zero erodes such features to nullify them to finally nothing through the operation of multiplying with zero.
Therefore, there is no denying that the Buddhist Sutra says that everything is empty, since anything finite (which means everything (E) in this world) can be expressed as follows:
E + G = G
E = G - G , and thus
E/G = G/G - G/G = "1 - 1" = 0
"E/G = 0" or "0 = E/G"
Therefore, there is no denying that the Buddhist Sutra says that everything is emptiness (zero), and emptiness (zero) is everything, although E is expressed as E/G in this case, while "1 - 1 = 0" is mathematically correct.
Based on the most reliable presumption that the God exists,
everything (E) is empty (0), and empty (0) is everything (E).
Now, we have to accept Buddhism as it is related to the underlying theory of the Bible.
Anyway, zero can be expressed as "0 = N - N" where N is any number or anything.
Zero (emptiness or non-existence) can be expressed with everything that exists in the form of "E - E" or E/G.

Acts 11 King James Version13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
