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”.
