The Purpose of this Website.

Why this website?

Why spend time searching out the details and dusty corners of the Bible?  To know God better.  We learn a lot about a person from the art, the books, and the music that they produce.  We can learn a lot about God from the things He created.  The Bible is among those things He created and it reveals a lot about Him.  Although we cannot comprehend him completely, we can comprehend Him much more than we do.

Do we have to do all this searching to be saved, to be brought into a living, loving relationship with Him?  God himself tells us what we need to do to be brought into that passionate embrace and relationship that will bind us together forever.

Luke 10: 25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying Master, what shall I do to be saved? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the Torah? How do you read it? 27 And he as his answer said, You shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. 28 And he said unto him, You have answered correctly: this do, and you will be saved.

This comes from the mouth of God himself.  The words erase all the complexity of human theology. We must love the God who made us and who made the world for us to love. We are called to love God and the likeness of God that is stamped on each of His beloved creatures.

The sin of Adam and Eve was their need to seek to know good and evil when they were created to seek the knowledge of the glory of God.

God created a woman for the man because it was not good to be alone. One wonders if that was the reason for the creation of it all.

He is a sociable God, fascinated and curious about his creatures. God in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New ask a bundle of questions. Our purpose also is to question, to find and to understand as much about him as we can find in His Word and in his world. We search not because we wish to be saved but because we want to know all we can about Him whom we love.

I hope that this will be a living website.  I hope that over time, I will revise, expand, and correct the material here.  I want readers to suggest and expand and correct the ideas recorded here.

I also plan to explore other websites and summarize the best here while posting links that will allow readers to explore and correct what we discover.
