TenWordPin model introduction

1. TenWordPin model introduction
This content is being developed.
2. TenWordPin model introduction
The TenWordPin model is a model of various parts of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. On overview of models and assumptions is provided. Then, a brief summary of the model for the various parts is covered. Further details on each part will be presented as each is mode ready for presentation.
3. Models and reality
A model is an abstraction (interpretation) of reality that can be used for prediction and/or understanding.
In the
math phase, negative numbers, infinities, etc., can be used to make the math work. Problems arise when trying to inverse map resulting negative numbers, infinities, etc., into the real world or reality.
Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful. George Box, Statistician.
The best material model of a cat is another, or preferably the same, cat. Norbert Wiener (and A. Rosenblueth).
A model is a useful fiction.
4. Aristotle: Opinion and knowledge
English: These considerations make it clear that it is impossible to have opinion and knowledge at the same time about the same object; otherwise one would apprehend that the same thing both could and could not be otherwise. (Loeb#391, p. 171)
Greek: Φανερὸν δ' ἐκ τούτων ὅτι οὐδὲ δοξάζειν ἅμα τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἐπίστασθαι ἐνδέχεται.ἅμα γὰρ ἂν ἔχοι ὑπόληψιν τοῦ ἄλλως ἔχειν καὶ μὴ ἄλλως τὸ αὐτό· Aristotle: Posterior Analytics [89a]
One destroys an opinion posing as knowledge by pointing out invalid logic, assumptions, etc. If a model explains some, but not all, phenomena, one cannot discredit the model by pointing out what it does not explain. One really needs to come up with a better model. Example:
Older model: Newtonian physics (still valid in many respects)
Newer model: quantum and/or relativistic physics
5. Model fit
Whenever one is presented with a logical model, one should take the following steps.
1. Does the logical model fit? How well does it fit? What does it explain and what does it not explain?
2. If the logical model fits, what are the implications and consequences in terms of reality?
Example: Albert Einstein discovered and jump-started the field of quantum mechanics. He never liked the idea. The model fit and he knew it fit.
Since all models are wrong to some extent, finding something wrong in a model does not invalidate the model.
If you do not like a model about all or parts the Bible, finding something wrong with that model does not invalidate the model. If there is a better model, you should find it and compare your model with the model presented.
6. Biblical models
Most models of all or parts of the Bible are based on opinion. A figurative interpretation of a Biblical passage is an opinion. There are many different models as opinions of many parts of the Bible.
7. TenWordPin model
A model is now presented for various parts of the Bible. These include (but are not limited) to the following. Here are some parts explained by the model.
| Creation days |
Lord's Prayer |
| Generations from Adam to Noah |
Revelation Churches |
| Ten Commandments |
Kingdom Parables |
| Crucifixion week |
Seven evil spirits |
| Rich young man |
Parable of the vineyard workers |
| Beatitudes |
wide area and narrow gate |
| parts of the Sermon on the Mount |
|
There are many different opinion (figurative, etc.) models for many of these parts of the Bible. The TenWordPin model models, in a nice way, each of these parts of the Bible.
