Logical Analyzing Natural Language of Theology and a Formal-Axiological Semantics of the Language Exemplified by the Theological Problem of Two-Fold Nature of Christ (Was it Possible for Him to Avoid Death on the Cross and Infinitely to Live as Material God?)

Abstract

The subject-matter is the analytical theology as a formal axiology and, especially, a formal-axiological semantics of that language, by means of which the Christian doctrine of Trinity has been formulated. The target of investigation is explicating and logically consistent solving the well-known but (from a proper theoretic viewpoint) still actual (not adequately solved) theological problem of two-fold nature of Christ. The investigation method is constructing and studying such a two-valued proper algebraic system, which is an adequate mathematical model of formal-axiological semantics: of natural language of theology in general, of the natural theology in particular, and of the positive Christian theology especially. For the first time, by means of accurate computing compositions of relevant evaluation-functions in a discrete mathematical model of natural theology it is demonstrated that fleshy (material) God is a formal-axiological contradiction, and nonbeing (death) of material God is a law of two-valued algebra of formal axiology. Scientific novelty of investigation results: for the first time in Christian theology, due to the new nontrivial results submitted in this paper, the absolutely necessary death of Christ acquires the status of formal-axiological law, which can be established and examined by means of computations within the discrete mathematical model of natural theology as formal axiology. According to algebra of metaphysics as formal axiology, fleshy Christ could not help but die; the success of His prayer about the cup had been absolutely impossible.
