Whether you think you are a Christian, or are a dyed in the wool atheist, don’t know what you believe or don’t really care, the purpose of this site is to challenge a lost and dying world and a church that, for the most part, has wandered so far from the truth to be rendered not only ineffectual, but equally lost.

Sections: Although not mutually exclusive, the site is roughly divided into 2 parts, the first being less confusing to New or Non-Christians.  We recommend the short Introduction to anyone who hasn’t been here before, while Recent Additions may be useful to those that have.

Navigation: This is a fairly simple site to navigate. In almost all cases, 2-3 clicks of your back button will bring you back here. The link in the black bar at the top of every page leads to the Index Page of the topic you are on, while the Site Directory link in the coloured bar will bring you to this page. The beige background used throughout the site is courtesy of Eos Development [http://www.eosdev.com]. Bold brightly coloured text within the article are links that will lead you to a related topic and will usually open in a new window. .

003white  Appreciation and Disclaimer: While we are very grateful to the large number of Christian authors who’s work has made this site possible, the fat that we carry one or several articles by an individual author or organization does not mean we necessarily agree with everything, or even anything else, that person or organization believes. And, in all fairness, it probably works the other way around as well... The inclusion of someone work does not mean they agree with everything on this site.

Introduction
 Chasing After The Wind?

Why Christianity?

Religious Pluralism.. Do All Paths Lead To The Same Destination?

 What Do You Believe? Few can offer a reasoned explanation for what & why they believe

Heaven Will Be Boring and Other Myths About Christianity

An Overview of Christianity. A number of problems that seem to perplex many when they turn from the transient things of life to face its eternal truths.

Why Did Jesus Die On A Roman Cross?
And what did it accomplish?

The Answer to Death The human spirit resists the idea that all we are will be cut off and ended - annihilated, exterminated at death.. Somehow it does not make sense

The Gospel...
What It Is And What It Isn’t.

Relativism Is it "absolutely" true that there is no "absolute" truth?

Jesus.. Enlightened mystic, great moral teacher, deluded mad man or Son of God.

Archaeology & The Bible.. Were events in the Bible just ‘pious tales’ or proven by archaeological excavations to be historical?

 The Bible.. Is there anything to show that the Bible is Divinely inspired instead of just literature?  What about science & the Bible?

God.. Does He exist?.. How does a 3-dimensional being comprehend God? His attributes.

Prophecy... The Test Of Prophecy can be applied to all ‘sacred writings’.... It is a simple matter to ascertain whether such prophecies have been fulfilled or not

Section 2
Presenting The Evidence  (Faith Solidly Grounded In Facts)

Section 3B
Questions Skeptics Ask.. Alleged Biblical Contradictions, Errors and Discrepancies, Did Christianity evolve from pagan religions? Noah’s Ark, Methuselah, The Flood and more .

Section 3A
Barriers to Faith... How can a loving God allow Evil to exist or consign people to Hell? Also World Peace and Natural Disasters, Hypocrisy, Slavery and Concubines in the Bible, The First-Born of Egypt, Miracles.. And more

peach Section 4A
The Heart Of The Matter... Safeguarding Your Soul: James 2:19 is an incredible statement. “You believe that God is one? You do well. The devils also believe and shudder”.  The demons are way ahead of too many Christians who ‘believe’ and think they are saved.  DONT BE DECEIVED... According To Scripture spiritual tragedies are possible

peach  Section 4
The Heart Of The Matter... Being Saved
Sin:
There is a natural human tendency to think of the Hitlers and child molesters of the world as sinners, and ourselves as "perhaps not perfect" but certainly not in the same category. But what does the Bible say? Repentance? Is it simply ‘feeling sorry’ for something we have done? Salvation is far more than a religion. God does not and never has offered man ‘religion’

Evolution .. There ought to be a law against evolution... And there is.

New Age.. Is not new. It is a modern revival of ancient religious traditions, along with a potpourri of influences..

 Relativism affirms that moral right and wrong are only socially and individually determined, all ethical truth is relative to a specific culture or that one religion can be true for one person/culture but not for another

Atheism.. A rational system that accounts for all human experience without the need to appeal to God?

Other Religions.. Do all paths lead to the same destination? A Investigation of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Baha’i.

Section 5
Other Beliefs

Reading and Understanding The Bible..Section includes Overviews of the Old and New Testament, Guides To Reading The Bible, How The Bible Came to Us, A Brief History Of The Bible, 12 Golden Rules, Helpful Hints, What Not to Do...etc.

Section 7A
Defending The Faith
Most Christians today seem to prefer experiencing Christianity to thinking about or explaining it, But Christianity thrives on intelligence, not ignorance.

Christians
It is totally pointless to embark on a investigation unless one is prepared to set aside one’s denominational presuppositions, experiences and other biases and rely strictly on what the Word says. For the thousands who 'believe' one thing, there are thousands who deny it. SOMEONE is wrong. Unless we are willing to go back to square one and ask what the Bible really says, we are never going to affirm God’s truth on the matter.   

Section 7B
Sharing The Faith The Gospel is the greatest story ever told, about the greatest person who has ever lived, who is making to men and women the greatest offer that has ever been made.. So why is it often so difficult to tell others?

Losing The Fight For Our Country...                           Losing The Fight For Our Children...

America The chilling thing about our behavior as a nation is that the Bible teaches that when a nation under judgment refuses to repent, it will ultimately reach a point where God will deliver it from judgment to wrath from discipline to doom.

Founding Fathers.. Were ‘most’ of them deists? Separation of Church & State...   Where did the expression originate and what exactly was meant by it? Muslims, Atheists and Hindu Prayer In Congress.  How receptive were the Founding Fathers to the influx of non-Christian religions into the country and the government.

Section 12C
 Secular & ‘Christian’ Rock Music
Today, at almost any "heavy-metal'' rock concert violence, sex, suicide, rebellion, and drugs are not only promoted, but acted out on stage. Rock music has evolved into Satan’s single most powerful tool against our youth. Worse.. ‘Christian’ Rock has linked worship to the demonic, sexual, rebellious style of rock and roll, destroying any remaining fragments of Biblical walls of Christian separation.

Section 12
The New Age  New Age thinking is showing up in art, music, business, education, environmental concerns, health programs, and social issues, but it is not new... it is a modern revival of ancient religious traditions, along with a potpourri of influences including Eastern mysticism.  New Age “enlightenment”, is nothing less than Old Age doctrines of nefarious invisible hosts. The mystical forces of the New Age movement are genuine. Worse they are willing to protect their territory!

The Final Message & Statement of Faith

Today, over 85 percent of Asian countries do not allow western missionaries to come and freely preach the Gospel and plant churches. Over 500,000 villages in India alone have never heard the Gospel. However, they can be reached through native missionaries, who know the language and culture, and will plant a church... if you send them. In spite of suffering, hardship and intense persecution, Gospel for Asia (GFA) native missionaries have established countless churches and missions in places where a church did not previously exist. On average, the missionaries establish nearly 12 fellowships every day in Asia among unreached villages and people groups. Please click on the banner above to read about this incredible organization.
