The simple Math of Christianity

In all simplicity, God is love. Jesus was sent into this world because of love. The Father loves us so much that He sent His only Son into this world to shed His blood for us, so that our sins may be forgiven. Hence, we have come to know Jesus as our Redeemer. Love took place first, and Jesus was conceived into this world, and His name was made known to all. By bringing love into this world, He brings togetherness in people. Love relates directly to the factor of ‘sum’ as it constitutes a sublime coherence in people and it adds beauty to this created universe. Now, let us take a look at Dan Brown’s work. “Jesus is married because of some interpretations in the work of Da Vinci.”; Jesus is this or that, so long as…etc.”
Everything he said cast doubts over us Catholics because Brown tried to add words to subtract the divinity of God. God is absolute. God is omnipotent. God is holy. God is love. The added words subtract nothing from the fullness of God but merely draw out the perfection of what is already within God. Dan brown’s work is but you cannot leave it there, and every word you add you subtract. There is limitation in Brown’s arguments and reasoning, subtracting from the fullness of what ‘is’ can mean. We are a faculty of rational attributes endowed with the likes of gifts of intellect and freewill. Granted a reasoning possession, we are able to attain truth by our intelligence, and that is where freewill follows. Do we want to believe in the goodness of God or in the deception of heretics’ work? I would only believe in the arguments of heretics if human reason has infinite volume but facts have proven otherwise.
