Algebra

 

There is nothing that can be said by mathematical symbols and relations which cannot also be said by words.  The converse, however, is false.  Much that can be and is said by words cannot successfully be put into equations, because it is nonsense.  C. Truesdell

This was stated by a mathematician, natural philosopher, and historian of science. Don’t worry if it hurt your head, because it hurt mine also.

Thankfully, God didn’t give us algebraic equations to understand Him. He gave us words. Case in point:

Hebrews 4:12 

For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Matthew 24:35 

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.

With heartfelt prayer on our parts, Scripture can be understood even by a caveman. Give it a read.
