The Proof of God

Introduction To The Author

By way of an honest introduction, I am just a layperson with no theological degrees whatsoever. As a Chaplain, I have led ministries in Prisons, Jails, Senior Facilities, Rehab Centers, Baptist, and non-denominational Bible Study groups. As you may gather, I do have a burning desire to do my small part spreading the Word of God. Shoring up the weak in faith and helping unbelievers gain insight into salvation are two of the most rewarding efforts a person may indulge in.

I was baptized (sprinkled) in a Lutheran Church at thirty years old. Decades later, I was properly baptized by full submersion in a Baptist Church. Baptism is a public demonstration of a singular contract between God and you. God offers salvation to the masses, but it is always a one-on-one contract. Sprinkling or pouring is not in alignment with Biblical teachings and should be used only in the direst, last-moment circumstances. The Catholic Monk, Martin Luther, the titular head and the founder of the Protestant and Lutheran Churches, declared, "Such as are baptized should be completely immersed into the water according to the meaning of the word and the signification of the ordinance."

Every topic included within my writings could be, and has been discussed in volumes by believers and unbelievers alike in theists' books, videos, and a multitude of inerrant and errant opinions scattered all over the Internet.

For the salvation of souls, I write as simply and unadorned as possible. Understanding Christianity's fundamental beliefs, which show the way to eternal redemption for the unsaved, can be confusing. For clarity, I use the New International Version (NIV) of the Holy Scriptures. Remember, you do not have to join a church to attend church or speak with a Minister! If you are searching, try more than just a couple of churches before attending one church consistently. I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.

Free information is offered at BibleGateway. com. Once there, you may choose any Biblical version(s) you prefer. I frequently compare the same verses against different interpretations. Any time spent familiarizing yourself with the various reference options will be well worth it. I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.
