BEFORE DIVING INTO THIS SITE, GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE, GLASS OF WINE, OR FAVORITE DRINK, RELAX, AND CLEAR YOUR MIND. YOU'RE ABOUT TO TAKE A JOURNEY OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
You're about to learn how and why "Western Civilization" came into existence preparing the way for the introduction of the "God-Man", Jesus Christ, the second person of the divine trinity, God the father, God the only begotten Son, and God the Holy Ghost (spirit).
The writings of Moses, the Torah, also called the Pentateuch which are the first five books of the Hebrew scriptures, did not fully reveal this reality, nor did the prophets after Moses. Why?
The short answer; it was not God's time to reveal these truths and the full knowledge of Himself to mankind until the reality "Himself" arrived on earth in the form of a man to reveal the full truth.
This came with one simple condition. The hearers had to accept the Messiah on God's terms. This including the Jews putting aside their preconceived notions of a new king to sit on a new earthly throne like King David in Jerusalem centuries before to crush Roman and all God's enemies.
This came at a time the world was in transition from paganism (ancient traditions featured polytheism (worship of many gods), animism (spirits in nature), and a contract-based relationship where humans cared for deities through temples, food, wine, and animal sacrifices in exchange for divine protection) and the new worldview of the Grecian philosophy since the 6th century B.C. introducing intellectual thinking of a new Western world replacing myth and superstition with rational and scientific inquiry.
worldviews heavily influenced by Aristotelian philosophical thought to Roman Empire with its cultural and philosophical influence dominating the world. This included integration of to prepare mankind how to understand the mind of God by revealing the meaning of all that came before the "logos', the word, the only begotten Son of God who incarnated on earth 2000 years ago.
The ancient patriarchs going back to the first man Adam, descendants of Noah, Abraham and Israel were given only partial knowledge of the God who created them. And no other culture or civilization in history since the beginning has been given the full knowledge of the one true God and creator of the universe; not Asians, not Africans, not North or South Americans.

On page #1, "The Nous", there is a short video that highlights clearly with "forensic evidence" of the reality that the universe and everything in it came about by intelligent design based on the science in the fields of astrophysics, molecular biology, cosmology, and mathematics.
God, not mindless evolution, is the force behind everything in existence in the universe.
Now all that is needed is to establish "why". If God was complete before time, space, and the physical universe was brought into existence, why does all this exist? Why are we here? What is God's purpose for humankind and what does the future hold for all mankind? Wow! Big questions.
Who can answer those kinds of questions other than an omnipotent, omniscient creator, God?
This leads to the next page 2 "Truth", and on to page 3, "the Bible", the ultimate source of truth of all existence before time and space that was revealed to mankind by the divine essence, Almighty God.
As you read those pages, you will discover that the original collection of writings of revealed truths were compiled by a man in 382 A.D., Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, later named Jerome. This is all explained on page 3, "the Bible".
This site builds on the basis of one established truth on top of another, as Joanne explains in the video, "the Nous".
For those who dismiss the evidence either must come up with a universally acceptable alternative or resign themselves to "Amathia", a Greek term defined in the video. Each must decide for themself.
And where are the answers to these questions found? (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Jesus told those who would listen, these truths would come in two ways. (2 Thessalonians 2:14)
We all knows what a king is; (who holds supreme authority and head of a kingdom).
As "King of Kings", Jesus revealed who the supreme sovereign of the universe.
Even we as parents, humans experience a measure of authority and governance in a family. How?
Children must obey parents for their own good and to receive blessings from parents providing food, shelter, education, protection and undeserved loving kindness to them. Parents also guide and guard children from harm from outside evil influences and negative conduct.
This is why Jesus pointed out things NOT TO DO to prosper. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
And yet, even though "most" of mankind have engaged in such things in the past, Jesus provided a way to overcome these harmful stains in our lives. (1 John 1:9) But forgiveness comes at a cost.
God disciplines those He loves to guide them back to a righteous course. (Hebrews 12:6)
But discipline and chastisement is not always punishment. Discipline is training that develops self-control, obedience, or orderly behavior. This is what loving parents do to help their children grow.
But at the end of the day, our life is in our own hands. (Psalm 118:109). ~ Douay Rheims

WELCOME! This site is not meant to point out wrongs, sins, or all the bad things in this world.

We must dignify the intelligence of each person and their ability to decide for themselves.
I'm not a bishop or priest, not a theologian or Bible scholar. I'm just a guy who looks for answers.
So, why pay any attention to an "unlettered" average guy?
"Consider not the messenger, rather the message they convey." ~ Thomas Aquinas circa 1250 A.D.
As "free moral agents", we not only have the right to speak up and share the faith with others, all Catholics were given a duty to defend the beliefs. (1 Peter 3:15) Silence is not an option.
When a house is burning down with people inside, a good person would at least say something.
History is filled with good men and women who did just that, they spoke out to help others see something they may not have noticed on their own. It's not "preachy", it's concern and caring enough.
Doing this doesn't require special degrees, titles, or assignments. It just takes real love for neighbor.
And for what it's worth, Jesus and His apostles were "unlettered" as well. (Acts 4:13)
The teachings of Jesus could fill libraries, (John 21:25), so, we can't possibly cover it all herein. The reader must do some research on their own, and take in knowledge too. (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Maybe it's time to put on the "Indiana Jones" persona and do some serious exploring.

To begin with, it's best to start with a clean slate by putting aside preconceived ideas and let the facts, the forensic evidence guide your footsteps.
Let's consider such questions as:
-
What's God's purpose for mankind?
-
Why does God permit wickedness to prevail?
-
What does the future hold for mankind?
-
What does God expect of each person?
Let's begin answering these deep philosophical questions with two commands of Christ:
1.) "Love God with our whole heart, whole soul, and whole mind, and,
2.) "Love your neighbor as ourself." (Matthew 22:37-40)
Love of God motivates us to love our neighbors.
How did God first manifest His love for mankind?
First, He created man, then gave man a woman as a lifelong mate.
Then consider:
1. Approximately 90% - 95% of the humans live on 10% of the earth's land surface.
2. Approximately 71% of the earth is covered by water, with less the 1% drinking water.
3. Approximately 50% of the 10% of land is suitable for agriculture and food production.
Yet God supports over 8 billion people today.
Over millennia man has written over 150 million books kept in places like the British Library and the Library of Congress, including the most widely read book, the Holy Bible, now available in over 4000 languages of the 7000 known languages and dialects that exist. (Matthew 28:19-20) Every nation!
It would take roughly 400,000 years of continuous reading to read every book ever written.
Can anyone honestly say they know enough, or have experienced enough of life to say they are ready to embrace their love ones, one last time, to enjoy their last meal, listen to their favorite concert, gaze upon their last sunset, or speak their last words of love to their children?
If your answer is honestly, "NO", did all this happen by blind, pitiless random chance?
With this in mind, it's time to take the first step together, "Page 1. , Veritas ~ the Truth".
