In my teens and twenties I became increasingly disenchanted with the church because what it taught was inconsistent and often did not make sense, eventually I walked away and fell into serious sin
In 1993, steeped in sin and planning to kill myself, the Almighty spoke to me audibly such that I knew with absolute certainty that He was real
At that time I realized that if I had died that day I would NOT have entered heaven, I took a very intense decision to turn around and serve Him who had spoken to me
I am an engineer by training with a BSc and PhD in Civil Engineering and I consult to management on the strategic application of computer systems.
Having concluded that the Almighty WAS real I also concluded that, having created me, and all that I saw around me He WAS the best engineer in the Universe and, accordingly, He would NOT expect me to compromise my engineering training in terms of rigor or intellect
I hold that engineering is one of the most demanding occupations on the planet today, make a mistake and buildings collapse, systems fail. The world of structures, machines, electronics, software is extremely unforgiving and therefore the level of rigor that engineers perforce adopt is great. I decided that the Almighty would NOT expect me to compromise on my engineering rigor even a little bit and therefore EVERYTHING was capable of rigorous analysis and understanding
In over 20 years I have NEVER found reason to go back on or question this decision
I also chose to rely on the Almighty Himself to guide me.
Yes I would learn from people BUT, when I did NOT understand what they said, I would ALWAYS turn to Him for answers. I have slipped on this a few times and relied on men BUT nearly ALL the time I have relied on Him to teach me. In the process I have come to understand that just about everything that the church teaches is massively in error and at odds with the truths of the Almighty, just as was the case in the days of Yahooshua {Jesus}
Since 2000 almost all my learning has been directly from Him with other humans providing occasional snippets of information
What is presented on this website is founded on these two principles -- engineering rigour and answers directly from the Almighty. This is underpinned by an intense personal experiential knowledge of the existence of the Almighty Creator grounded in His deep desire to have a DEEP personal relationship with each one of us AND to talk to us and counsel us and guide us in EVERYTHING
He is JUST as interested in your areas of expertise and interest as you are. He created each one of us to walk with Him and talk with Him
When considering what you find on this site please keep in mind that you should NEVER follow me or ANY other human, follow ONLY Yah. It is up to YOU what you take from this site, you must exercise your intellect.
Be aware that I am human and fallible and come from the same background of gross error as everyone else on this planet and, accordingly, my understanding today is in many cases very different to what it was ten years ago or even more recently. Accordingly my recent articles may differ materially from earlier articles on the same subject. The more recent articles are generally more accurate.
At the end of the day YOU must discern what is truth and what is error on this website -- you are accountable for what you believe on the Day of Judgment.
Should you find issues you disagree with you are welcome to contact me.
That said I testify that I have spent thousands of hours seeking to draw close to Father and that I have prayed regularly to be shown the level of my present deception and how to correct it and asked for judgement for sin so I DO have a high level of confidence that much of what is on this site IS largely given by Him and can be trusted.
I pray that as you visit this site you will find reasons to draw closer to Him, that you will find answers to difficult questions and that your intellect will be challenged in the satisfying way that mine has been
