This an artist depiction of the of the apostle Paul delivering a speech to Athenians in Greek at the Areaopagus around 48 A.D.,(Acts 17:22-34), and I added the words of Shakespeare in 1623 ("Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears.") to give this website context, "Friends, relatives, neighbors lend me your ear." More on Paul, Saul, friend, or foe of Christians later.
If you arrived here, it's probably because you were given a link to this site or you stumbled across this on your own. Thank you for taking a look and I'd appreciate your feedback. You'll notice page titles in Koiné Greek with English translation. More on this later.
This is not meant to teach, convince, or promote anything to anyone. The objective is to observe, report, and ask questions on matters of faith and Christology; that is, the nature and teachings of Jesus Christ, Son of God, and His true nature as revealed in scripture, but this is NOT Biblical exegesis. It's the only writings including His words.
We'll examine certain "artifacts" along the way, like engaging in an archeological expedition. As we observe these "facts" and fit them together, a picture will emerge. However, each person may view these facts differently through their own eyes of understanding based on preconceived observations and conclusions. Try to put aside those previously held notions on this journey and try to take a fresh look at the facts from another perspective that may shed light on matters not seen before.
This will be like that Indi ana Jones movie, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', when professor Jones (Harrison Ford) says, "In this class we consider facts. If it's "truth" you're after, that class is down the hall."
This (website) is the room down the hall where we examine both the artifacts (facts) of the dig, and how they fit together forming a picture, "truth". Try to set aside "the truth" held based on those preconceived notions we've all obtained since childhood from others. Even after 5, 10, 25 years of dedicated study and research we tend to cling to what we think we already know or understand especially on matters of faith and "Christology". Some have spent a lifetime and still struggle to find answers to basic questions.
One example is found in Jesus famous "Sermon on the Mount" at Matthew 6:9-13, when He gave mankind how and who to pray to at Matthew 6:9-13, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." What we'll discover will astonish anyone who thinks they already know who Jesus is praying to. This may change the way one sees these words for now on. We need to be patience and be willing to look at things with an open-mind. Otherwise we may miss things right under our nose. Simply take an honest look at some things from a different vantage point. As the ancient prophet Isaiah said, "Fear not, for I am with thee." (Isaiah 41:10)
to consider
Try to view this as a journey with a mindset of peering into divine things from another perspective. As another ancient Eastern observer said 2500 years ago.
