Added: Infinity and biblical theology section
The existence of an infinite [[God]] implies the necessary existence of the opposite: the void described in [[Genesis]]. Negative infinity, as implied by the existence of positive infinity, is the numeric equivalent of the [[Hell]] mentioned frequently in the [[New Testament]]. The [[logic of infinity]] permeates the [[Gospels]].

== Teachings about infinity by Jesus ==
== Infinity and biblical theology ==
In a biblical [[theological]] context, the concept of infinity used to describe God's limitless nature, meaning that God is not bound by the constraints of space, time, or any other limitations (Other than not being able to lie or engage in evil or engaging illogical actions such as making round square). God being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. God's limitless nature places God beyond human comprehension.
=== Teachings about infinity by Jesus ===
Infinity is depicted by several miracles, including the [[Multiplication of the loaves]] and the [[Miraculous catch of fish]]. Infinity is implicit in several parables, including the [[Prodigal Son]], and the parable of the vineyard workers.<ref>Matthew 20:1-16.</ref> In addition, one's soul is of infinite value to him and thus cannot be exceeded in value by anything else, as explained by Matthew 16:26.
