..which are 2 sides of the totality (of everything)- all numbers.

I'd like to add, this may be long for some people :

The chinese yin and yang, represent unity in duality and duality in unity.
The yin is unity. All is one. No seperation.
The yang is duality. Good and bad. All things coming with their opposite.

So yin and yang means there is unity inside good vs.evil, which is conflict.
And good vs. evil, conflict, inside unity.

Do you understand the difference? (between eastern philosophy and western religion)
Any comments?

A 'godspel' is not the same as seeking the light through phillosophy. Every idea derive from the same equations. You can analyze words that way all day and come up with the same results. Do evil or the good, everything is relative. Any concept of esoteric is a shackle to the mind. Ha Nasi is the spider in Africa. In 300 BC, it was Dwoada (Judah) HaNasi who turned the compiled biblical old testacles to the Greek. Now we have a web everywhere. Carry on old Ashanti spider!

Kind of like male and female, black and white, true and false, etc.

I think it's just coincidence. Odd and even - God and Devil. It's more probable that Devil derives from Evil or D-Evil and God derives from Good.

There are other languages besides English and I bet the same correlation wouldn't exist in a language such as French, for example.

Or you could ask which words came first. Was the word 'even' invented before or after the word 'Devil'? And then the same with God and odd - which came first? I bet the words/names 'God' and 'Devil' were added to the English language before 'odd' and 'even' were even thought of.

Then there is the idea that there might not just be God and the Devil (who just so happen to be both male, which is kind of sexist). Perhaps there are 5 realms and the first realm is very evil (the worst form of hell), the second is bad, the third is an in-between sort of place, the fourth is good and the fifth is high heaven (or the best form of heaven). Then each of these realms has it's leader. There might even be more than 5 - or none at all! It depends on what you believe.

So in summary then - it is very unlikely that God and Devil were two words/names derived from odd and even. Therefore the rest of your question doesn't really work.

While I agree that the duality you suggest is present on earth, it was created by God so there was a basis for the operation of "free will" choice. God did this in the hope that the God part of the humans would choose to pursue a path of reunion with God. I do not think this can be presented any more succinctly than Jesus who said to Thomas, "Now that you are two, what are you going to do?" That is to say how will you unify your consciousness with its creator? The spiritual path that we pursue is based on making enlightened choices in imitation of the gifts freely given to us by God: love, kindness peace , truth, wisdom, happiness, gratitude and mercy.

NO.
You're playing with semantics, and complicating life unnecessarily with deep thoughts that mean nothing. Simplify your life.

yeah i get it, that's actually really deep. how do you get unity in conflict that's like a conflict in itself if that makes sense?

Yeah, maybe. It does not roll on your tongue as easily, and the "L" changing to "N" can be the reason.
