The Founder

The Founder of this website use to believe that religion was the answer to making a person right with God. I use to believe that going to church once a week and putting a few dollars in the church basket was enough to satisfy my obligation to God. I thought that infant baptism and following church sacraments would surely make me right with God on judgment day. I felt confident that my religion would insure my salvation and allow me to enter heaven when I died.

I did however, often wonder why the religion I chose to follow from my youth, though it appeared to be Christian, never encouraged me to read my Bible. I felt confident that since this religion had been a family tradition for several generations, I would not need to do any research on it. Surely, someone in my family had compared the church’s doctrine against Holy Scripture and decided that this religion was 100% in agreement with the Holy Bible.

Back then, because of my faith in my religion I had no real desire to even open the Holy Bible.

WARNING!-Anything that keeps a person from reading the Word of God for themselves, is a distraction from Satan. If Satan can keep a person out of the Bible, he will win and the person will spend eternity in the eternal fire. Because the “Truth” cannot be found outside of the Word of God.

I never realized that the Holy Bible is called the Living Word, because it speaks to each reader separately, on a personal level. The Holy Bible is God’s special method of communicating to each person living on earth. Religion has conveniently become the drive-through window that by-passes God. Religion allows you to feel good about your relationship with God without ever opening your Bible. That’s because, the enemy of God, who hopes to keep you from reading the Holy Bible for yourself, is at the root of most religions.

Early on in my religious adventure, I would actually become irritated and annoyed by people that were too religious and ran around talking about a “Born Again” experience. These people were the ones who would talk about having a personal relationship with the Lord. In my mind they were the weird ones who would say, “Praise the Lord” and “Thank you Jesus” in public. I thought to myself these people have lost it, don’t they know that religion is a private thing. You need to keep religion to yourself. Some of them even tried to tell me that religion was a trap, set-up to deceive me. They said that my religion was leading me down the wrong path. They told me that I didn’t need religion in order to be saved. They pointed out that my church’s doctrine was a distorted version of what the Holy Bible really taught concerning salvation and that I would more than likely would be going to hell when I died.

I told them they were wrong because my church promoted the teaching of Jesus Christ and it had pictures and statues of Him all over the place. I told them that the Holiest Man on earth headed up my church. They said, that the Holiest Man on earth would not be calling Heaven his home either, if he didn’t personally and verbally invite Jesus to be his Lord and Savior.

I was literally shocked that they would say such a thing. I decided to prove them wrong, so I read the Holy Bible cover to cover, and I read my church’s doctrine cover to cover. As a result I found out “The Truth”. I found out, that I was wrong and my religion of 40 plus years was wrong.

The “Born Again” people were right. Religion and church will not save one soul on the face of the earth. There is only one way to be saved, each person must personally invite Jesus into their heart as their Lord and Savior and then repent of sin by allowing the Holy Spirit to cleanse their heart.

As a result of my discovery, I started this website, because I realized there are billions of people headed down the wrong road, many of which, may feel overly confident like I did, and truly believe they are all right with God just as they are.

There is a reason that the Bible refers to Satan the great deceiver. Satan through various religions gives the human heart exactly what it craves, a relationship with God. The problem is that God requires a “personal relationship” with mankind in order to save an individual from the condemnation of their sins. The personal relationship with God begins by reading the Living Word of God for yourself.

Only God can change someone’s heart and turn them from the wrong path, but many times He uses other people to plant the seeds. Therefore, I am just a sower of seeds for the Kingdom of God. I can’t do anything about the soil (one’s heart), I just plant thousands of seeds, and hope a few will fall into good ground and grow.

I pray each visitor to this website will start to read the Holy Bible for themselves, so that God Himself through the work of His living Word can bring you into the light of “The Truth”.
