Stan West, focusing on the subject of the equal sign (=) invented by Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde, suggests that there are systemic problems with this sign. Satan thought he could be equal (=) with God, and tried to teach our first parents that they could be equal to God. The Pharisees could not stand the idea of losing their ‘equality' with the Son of God. Simon the Magus assumed that the priceless Holy Spirit of God equaled some numerical value. One equation which has been used by ‘church-ianity' is that grace= salvation. There is certainly more than one dimension to that particular equal sign. When we use the equal sign as pertaining to God, we have to remember that the lines of the equal sign go on forever—as far as the east is from the west. In our relationship with God, only the top line goes on to infinity. We are the bottom line, beginning at a period in time and moving on infinitely to the right following our resurrection (as God gives us grace to employ faith to obey working out our own salvation as we walk through this mortal life. God will give us the power to will and to do). We are more a ray rather than a line having no beginning, but having no end, as a member of God's family.
