About the author:
I am an average Joe who is not a scholar nor claim to be. I am not an expert, but I do believe that so called experts many times are biased and force the data to fit their agenda. I have common sense and think for myself. I look at plain things, think about them, and then draw conclusions. I do not go into every minutiae that is possible since most people don't have the time or interest in most cases to do that. If you have to go into minutiae to justify your position, it is most likely a shaky position being supported by your interpretation of minutiae that you know that 99% of the people you present it to will never check your data. I believe that this is what a lot of "experts" do - they get so deep and mired into details to try and support their view that it is almost impossible to follow, so, people just give up trying and believe them because they look so impressive. I believe that this is what a majority of evolutionists and global warming theorists do.
KISS
The first thing that a lot of people hear coming out of school and into the working world is KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) - this was repeated multiple times to me over my career. Are there exceptions? Certainly. I would not say that all the scientists and engineers who put a man on the moon were experts who were wrong. I am speaking more of philosophies and beliefs - not scientific ideas; although I believe that much of what is called science is biased test data slanted to meet an agenda like so called global warming. If a scholar makes an argument that Jesus was married based upon his interpretation of some obscure manuscript written in some obscure language 400 years after Jesus was on earth by who knows who, then I do not accept his argument based upon the abundance of evidence within and outside of Scripture that would contradict it. The Scripture was written by well known people who either eye witnesses of Jesus or had first hand accounts of eyewitnesses. They were written shortly after Jesus left the earth. There are over 25,000 ancient manuscripts and partial manuscripts that are essentially the same. Any logical thinking person would compare the evidence of one "expert" vs. the avalanche of evidence in the other direction and immediately conclude that the "expert" is wrong. The key word here is that you have to THINK and not simply accept. Think for yourself and think on His revealed Truth.
This site promotes a strong Jesus...
who told the Truth and people hated Him for it (as He repeatedly said)... not a wimpy imagined Jesus who talked only of Heaven and forgiveness only and never mentioned Hell or repentance. He was strong enough and loved people enough to tell them the Truth, not soothing their self esteem. This site a truth that many would call opinionated and narrow minded, but, if truth does indeed exist, it is by definition narrow minded because anything in opposition to the truth is a lie. This site strives to build your knowledge of the truth, not flatter you. The author of this site wants to love you to the Truth, not abandon you to lies and Hell:
Pro 28:23 He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.
Pro 29:5 A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
Pro 27:5 Open rebuke [is] better than secret love.
Pro 27:6 Faithful [are] the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy [are] deceitful.
Why?
I have lived for quite a while on the earth in the USA and have seen a lot of things, but what I see now makes me fear for our country so I have decided to speak up.
1.) My life circumstances have changed in such a way that I am a bit freer to share my beliefs (both positive and negative) than I have been in the past.
2.) I have suppressed my opinions on our country mostly because I thought that most people still thought as I did about America and it's constitution. Moved by the last 2 presidential elections (but especially since the last one as there was a very, very clear difference between the candidates), I believe that it is part of my task to try and educate America because it is apparent that a large portion of voting America is not.
3.) Lastly, I want to witness/educate while I still have the freedom to do so. Dark days are coming where what I write here will be considered hate speech (even though there is no hate here) and will not be tolerated unless people wake up. In those days, it won't surprise me that Christians will be persecuted and even put to death for living and witnessing to their faith. Our society is already showing hostility toward Christianity which is most likely a shadow of things to come. May God give strength to His servants endure if they are called to that.
