WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT


 IN MY WORLDVIEW, OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS I ACCEPT BY FAITH.  EVERYONE MUST HAVE THIS POSITION.  THE ABSOLUTE FACT OF MY EXISTENCE OF MY EXISTENCE ONE THING  THAT I VIEW 

I'VE ALREADY DEALT WITH RELATING TO THE LORD WAY BACK IN 1950, I MADE MY OWN DECISION, AND I WON'T SAY THERE WAS NO LABOR OR SORROW.  I WILL SAY, AT 83+ YEARS, I'M VERY VERY HAPPY I DID.


I believe with advanced age, a person has the advantage of having lived through many of the good and bad decisions of life--what is truthful and what isn't.21
  
OBVIOUSLY, TRUTH DOES NOT COME WITH THE MORNING MAIL.  WE NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO GUIDE US


Sadly many contributing elders are automatically dismissed because of age.  Maybe at 83, I'm going into senile dementia when stating an arguing point--especially in reaching a faith-based conclusion.  


I might add here, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."  Proverbs 9:10


I’M CONVINCED THAT THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE IS INTERESTED IN US.  THAT OUR CREATOR HAS COMMUNICATED WITH US (THE WORLD)THROUGH WHAT WE HAVE CALLED THE BIBLE.

SO I'M GOING TO PRESENT MY TAKE--MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN--ON RELEVANT EVENTS AND ISSUES AND USE THE BIBLE (GOD'S WORLDVIEW) IN REFLECTING ON IT. 


                                                     MY SIDE
                                     OF THE MOUNTAIN

RELEVANT ISSUES IN THE BIBLE




SO I WOULD LIKE TO  PRESENT ON THESE PAGES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A BIBLE STUDY ON RELEVANT ISSUES.

ACCORDING TO GOD

DANIEL AND GOD'S PLAN

FINAL DAYS ACCORDING TO GOD

SEX IS REALLY GOD'S CREATION 

OUR IMMORTAL SOUL

DEATH AND AFTER DEATH 

ANTI--CHRISTIAN


CHRISTIANITY  HAS ITS OPPONENTS.
Arguments and debates have been made since the beginning of Christianity.The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Galatians--THEY WERE TURNING BACK TO WORK-ORIENTED BELIEFS.  YOU MUST BECOME A JEW--MUST KEEP THE LAW.   SEE PROOFS PAGES

APOLOGETICS--which  really is mainly a defense for the gospel
THE LETTER TO THE GALATIANS IS REALLY for the beliefs of salvation  to tell the nation by grace you are saved. The Law brings a curse that you must keep it all--not just a part.  However the Judizers who claim that the believer had to become a Jew to be saved.  Peter also dealt with opponents.



1.       1 Peter 3:15.

but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
kurion de ton criston  agiasate  en taiV kardiaiV umwn etoimoi aei proV apologian panti tw aitounti umaV logon peri thV en umin elpidoV alla meta prauthtoV kai fobou
having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.

Verse 15 Sanctify
(agiasate). First aorist active imperative of agiazw. This instead of being afraid. Christ as Lord (kurion ton Criston). Ton Criston, direct object with article and kurion predicate accusative (without article). This is the correct text, not ton qeon of the Textus Receptus. An adaptation to Christ of Isaiah 8:13.
