I am a simple IT Professional not a bible scholar;
however I am a Christian and have had a meaningful relationship
with God my Father through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ for many
years.
I was bought up as a member of the Lutheran Church in Australia,
regularly attending Church and Sunday School, Confirmation and eventually
teaching Sunday School for a short time before straying from the
faith for a more popular life style.
Having always been the type to question and not being happy until
I really understood, I had a lot of issues with what I had been
told at church, things that just didn’t add up. Things that
were believed to be fundamental to salvation according to one denomination
didn’t seem an issue to another.
Years later my wife and I met a long lost relative who had been
involved with the dark side of life (at this point that is all I
need to say) but it made me revisit the questions I had been asking
years before.
I listening to tapes of Christians considered fundamentalists,
joined a small home group then a small Pentecostal type Church and
was led to being baptized, this time as an adult and life began
to change for me.
I was led to cross paths with a traveling preacher in about 1988
when I did a little job for him and refused to take any monetary
retribution, in return he gave me a couple of tapes of his sermons
and one from a speech made by his wife. Obviously a great man of
God, however it was the tape of his wife that spoke to me ironically
enough. The subject of her message was, ask God for understanding,
wisdom and the truth before anything else, these she convincingly
explained God would give freely and abundantly to any one who asked.
Well she convinced me and since then I have regularly asked for
understanding and wisdom and to be shown only the truth. I believe
if I ask God properly He can’t refuse me the truth. I believe
He has revealed to me so many inaccuracies within the Church and
at last He is answering some of those questions that have plagued
me over the years.
I have constructed this Web Site to share Gods revelation to me
with anybody who has an ear.
I am now attending a more mainstream Baptist type church but my
questioning is increasing as I ask for understanding, wisdom and
only the truth, through the Holy Spirit from my Father God, in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
