In different systems of coordinates one the same thing maybe immovable or moving. In special theory of relativity of Albert Einstein moreover one the same thing has different length in different systems of coordinates. And in general theory of relativity of the same Einstein one the same thing may have even different form in different system of coordinates. In general theory of relativity one thing may be straight in one system of coordinates and crooked in an other system.

Accordingly my recent guess, God is like a system of coordinates where all things are straight (nothing in crooked) and all things are equal to each other (before God all are equal).

Firstly, Christianity teaches us that God is a person, how then the author of this message says that God is a system of coordinates? Reader, why you thing that a system of coordinates cannot be a person?

Note that it is not simple to guess how to calculate in a so special system of coordinates, and we, mathematicians, may be unable to give you an advice how to do it. (Who can understand God?)

Why I decided that God is like a system of coordinates where all things are straight and equal to each other?
Probably in a later message I will point biblical foundations for supposing that God is like the system of coordinates where all things are straight and equal. It is not simple to explain, so I omit it now.

Bible teaches that there is one and only one God. This may mean a mathematical theorem that there exists one and only one such a system of coordinates.

I suppose that so called other gods means other systems of coordinates. Bible teaches to not serve other gods. It may mean that we should not absolutize other systems of coordinates (for example the system with Earth or Sun or our galaxy being the immovable center of the Universe; this system (equally with any other system) is allowed by general relativity theory). That is we should be always ready to switch to an other, new system of coordinates, not fix on one system of coordinates, nor on one system of values.

So (if my theory is correct), God makes anything equal and anything plain. In our systems of coordinates exist people, houses, horses, insects, clouds, etc. But (if I am understand this correctly) all is equal regarding God, and a man for example doesn't differ of an insect from the viewpoint of God, and doesn't differ even from an empty space.

Compare this to two persons one which is more clever than the other. For one who is much more clever the thoughts of the other are plain even when for a stupid person himself his thought seem something sophisticated; and for all things are plain, as God is the most clever of all. And for a more clever person these things which may seem different for a stupid person may be understood as the same (sometimes vice verse) and what is a crooked way for a stupid may be natural straight way for a wise.

So, now I attempt to read Bible this way: When I met the word God I attempt to substitute one before who all is equal, what makes all equal to each other.

And I understand a better person one who is more equal than others (more near to God accordingly my understanding). Do you know the adage All are equal but some are more equal than other? It may be not simple to understand...

Well, the above is just my guesses...
