Some Assumptions We've Made . . .

Get Excited!

I have to tell you that this is very exciting for me, finally being able to have this discussion in the open about how Jesus and the Bible have stood the test of time, and how no matter how hard people try to disprove them both, if they really seek the truth, they find that Jesus and the Bible are the truth they seek.

That brings up an interesting dynamic, though: people who seek to prove Jesus and the Bible wrong out of a desire for the truth are doing something that most people who reject Jesus are not doing: actually seeking the truth!

Now, I realize that is a pretty loaded accusation, but let's be honest with ourselves: if you knew that learning the truth about who made you and why you're here would mean that you'd have to make uncomfortable life changes, wouldn't it be easier just to assume you're already right?  That would keep you from going through all the trouble of finding out something that you really didn't want to know in the first place, right?

Anyway, if you fall into the category of people who would rather be willfully ignorant and "happy" (because you're not really happy) than find the truth and reap the reward, this blog is not for you. Actually, this blog is for you, but you'll probably be upset with most of what is written here because, well, it's all of the information that you have been trying to avoid . . .

That being said, if you are reading this blog, these are the things we're going to assume:

1. You want to know the truth - you're one of those people who, whether rich or poor, content or hungry, wants to know your origins, your purposes, and your end.  
2. You understand that there's more out there - as much as you may have been a know-it-all as a teenager, you've come to the place where you know there's a lot more about life that you have to learn.
3. You understand that there's more than meets the eye - and while I love Transformers as much as the next guy, what I mean is that you know that there's more to this world than what you can touch, taste, and feel.
4. The world doesn't have it right - because if it did, it wouldn't be such a screwed-up place.
5. You'll do the right thing once you know what it is - obviously, there's no point in learning the truth if you're not going to do something with it, so you're ready to move in the right direction once you have the right information.  

Are we agreed, then?

Good!  Let's get started . . .
