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.
Next, it would be best to state the purpose of this site and establish some realistic expectations.
On page #1, "The Nous", I've produced a short video that addresses forensic evidence that clearly points out the reality that the universe and everything in it came about by an intelligent designer based on real science in the areas of astrophysics, molecular biology, cosmology, and mathematics. It might be best to start by watching that video to lay the foundation.
Assuming you've watched that video, I will now point out that the contents of this site builds on the premise that the evidence points to a supreme power, God, is the only logical answer how all things came about. Now all that's needed is to establish why. Why are we here? What is God's purpose for humankind and what does the future hold for all mankind?
Now that that has been stated, it's necessary to establish where the answers to these complex and universal questions can possibly come from.
This leads to pages 2 &3, "Truth", and the ultimate source of truth from the intelligence before time and space began, as only God Almighty revealed in scripture, the Bible. Assuming you reviewed the page on "the Bible", you have discovered there is only one original translation of the 73 books, the Latin Vulgate Jerome completed in 405 A.D., from the Greek Septuagint. Jerome's Vulgate was translated to English, and other languages in 1582 and after.

Since the rest of this site builds the presentation based on these realities, one must decide to accept reality or, as Joanne brings out in the video "Nous", concerning the Greek word "Amathia", to ignore the facts, the evidence, the truth. Each must decide.
Since all things in heaven and earth were created, the question is, who did it?
According to these verses, (Colossians 1:16; & John 1:3) it was Jesus Christ. (John 6:44)
How can we even know these things? f Him. (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7) Seek and learn!
All things began with Jesus who has been given all the power and authority.
Jesus did not hide why He came, what His purpose was, and what He left us to prepare for the future.
The things He taught are immutable and non-negotiable.
As King of Kings and God the only begotten Son, Jesus established rules to live by and conditions that must be met to receive the knowledge and fulfillment of God's promises outlined in scripture, as well as what He left behind with His apostles. (2 Thessalonians 2:14)

For example: Jesus cleared pointed out how NOT to gain access to heaven. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
And yet, even though most people have engaged in such things in the past, Jesus provided a way to overcome these stains in our lives. (1 John 1:9) Simple: Confess and receive forgiveness.
At the end of the day, our life is in our own hands. (Psalm 118:109). ~ Douay Rheims Bible.
_________________________________
WELCOME! This site is not meant to point out sins and all the bad things going on in this world.
This site is not intended to convince, coerce, or convert anyone to anything.
I'm not a bishop or even a bishop, and I possess no theology degree nor am I a Bible scholar.
So, why pay any attention to this "unlettered" guy? All I ask is to consider Thomas Aquinas words.
"Consider not the messenger, rather the message they convey." ~ circa 1250 A.D.
The reality is, if we believe something, based on evidence, wouldn't it only right top speak up and try to defend your belief, if it's that important. (1 Peter 3:15) Silence is not golden, as some claim.
When the house is burning down with people inside, wouldn't a good, loving person at least say something and not remain silent?
History is filled with men and women who put their lives on the line to speak out and help others.
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)
ReMaybe it's time to do a little "Indiana Jones" stuff. Seek truth.


It's best to start with a clean slate by setting aside preconceived notions and take a fresh look at things from a new perspective, and try to be like an innocent child and remain curious.
We'll consider such questions as:
-
What does God expect from me?
-
Why does God permit wickedness to prevail?
-
Is this all there is?
-
What does the future hold for mankind, and for myself?
-
What model or path did Jesus leave behind to follow?
Jesus left the world with two commands to follow:
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 obey Him.
Love of neighbor motivates us to speak up and share the good things of God.
What are those "good things" of God?
