In addition, recognition of infinity — such as infinite time or infinite strength — is helpful on a personal level in dealing with adversity.  Infinite time means infinite money, since time is convertible into money.  [[Jesus]] often emphasized the concept of infinity in his [[miracle]]s and [[parable]]s.  He rejected the mistaken view of the ancient Greeks that infinity is non-existent and incoherent.<ref>{{cquote|The Ancient Greeks generally conceived of the infinite as formless, characterless, indefinite, indeterminate, chaotic, and unintelligible.
