MythicLao-tse's Tao, the One First Cause
UBSalem monotheism in Chinese form
Salem monotheism in Chinese form = Lao-tse's Tao, the One First Cause
The Connection
The UB directly states that Lao-tse "built directly upon the concepts of the Salem traditions" when he formulated the Tao. His declaration that "Tao is the One First Cause of all creation" is a Chinese reformulation of Melchizedek's monotheistic teaching. Tao represents the most successful Chinese preservation of the Salem gospel.

Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)
The UB explicitly traces Lao-tse's Tao to Salem missionary influence. Lao-tse's formulation, "Unity arises out of the Absolute Tao, and from Unity there appears cosmic Duality, and from such Duality, Trinity springs forth into existence, and Trinity is the eternal source of all reality," closely echoes Melchizedek's Trinity teaching. Philip Ivanhoe notes the "mystical monotheism" of the Tao Te Ching, which presents a single source behind all reality, consistent with the UB claim of Salem transmission.
