"All numbers are ideas and thus all numbers are imaginary" is false because God is both one and many, This establishes the eternal, and basic nature of numbers in the ontology of the Trinity. Numbers exist because God is three in one - God can fundamentally count within himself, and thus the impression of numerical values are a part of the imageo deo and revelation.

Frege has a good book on the subject of numbers,
. While he's not a Christian, his destruction of the idea that numbers are categories of the physical world, and Mills proposition of the foundation of arithmetic is classic.
