Here are my write-ups on a mathematical perspective to Christian theology, which I’d like to term mathematical theology. This set of write-ups will, clearly, take a vastly different form from the rest of my blog-posts, which have, by-and-large, been well-established syllabus-based writings.
This set of write-ups aims to establish Christian theology from just first principles of logic and other minimal assumptions. In commonplace language, these blogposts can be categorised broadly in the field of study called Christian apologetics. My goal in establishing said theology is akin to that of the Apostle John’s:
…but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. [John 20:38]

Accepting the logical conclusions of all of these blog posts doesn’t automatically make you a Christian. Even Satan knows that Jesus is God—yet he is eternally damned to hell. My goal in these blog posts is to establish a logically rigorous foundation and solid case for Christian theology, so that man may recognise Jesus as God with no intellectual excuse.
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. [Romans 1:20]
After making a hopefully robust case, I pray that the Holy Spirit will work in your heart to repenting from your rebellion against the Holy God, and receive His unfathomably kind and mercy-overflowing forgiveness through His Son, the God-Man King Jesus Christ, thereby reconciling with the God of life-giving love for all eternity, worshipping Him with all the worths-ship He only rightfully deserves.
We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. [2 Corinthians 5:20b–21]
May Jesus not just be God, but even so, your Savior, King, and God.
