My books have become like rough drafts. My most recent work is found in the descriptions of 39 You Tube playlists. Find the link on my bio page.

I have a STANDARD INTRO.

If Christianity is a lie, if Jesus is a false god, a bogus deity...

Then we Christians are lost in DELUSION and LIES.

And if Christianity is true, if Jesus is God, the Divine Son, no end of Christians are still lost in DELUSION and LIES.

Why?

BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURES TELL US THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE CHURCH.

JOHN 14. 23-26 AND MATTHEW 16.13-19 TELL US IN SO MANY WORDS THAT IT IS HERESY, A SATANIC LIE, TO SAY THERE IS NO TRUE CHURCH.

BUT CHRISTIANS HAVE DIVIDED CHRISTIANITY INTO THOUSANDS OF SEPARATE DENOMINATIONS / THOUSANDS OF SEPARATE CHURCHES.

NO DENOMINATION DECLARES ITSELF TO BE A WORTHLESS FALSE CHURCH SUNK IN HERESY WHICH DRAGS PEOPLE DOWN TO ETERNAL PERDITION.

EVERY DENOMINATION CLAIMS IT LEADS PEOPLE TO HEAVEN.

BUT IF IT IS INSANITY TO SAY THAT EVERY CHURCH YOU STUMBLE ACROSS IS NONE OTHER THAN GOD'S TRUE CHURCH...

IF JESUS IS GOD, THE DIVINE SON WE READ ABOUT IN PSALM 2 AND ISAIAH 9. 6...

IF THAT IS A SOUND PREMISE...

YOU ARE LED DIRECTLY TO SOME CONCLUSIONS...

1 - HELL EXISTS...HEAVEN EXISTS...THERE IS A TRUE CHURCH WHICH ALWAYS LEADS PEOPLE TO HEAVEN AND NEVER LEADS ANYONE TO HELL.

2 - REVELATION 20. 12-15 - YOU GET TOSSED INTO A LAKE OF FIRE AT THE LAST JUDGMENT IF YOUR NAME IS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. SO YOU WANT TO BE A SAINT IN GOD'S TRUE CHURCH.

3 - IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN A NATION'S GOVERNMENT AND GOD'S TRUE CHURCH, WELL, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO EVER REBEL AGAINST GOD'S TRUE CHURCH IF YOU WISH TO ATTAIN HEAVEN AND ESCAPE HELL.

THESE CONCLUSIONS FOLLOW DIRECTLY FROM THE PREMISE THAT JESUS IS GOD AND CHRISTIANITY IS THE TRUE FAITH.

OF COURSE MANY MANY PEOPLE HATE THE IDEA OF BEING GOVERNED BY A CHURCH.

YES, VARIOUS CHURCHES WERE TYRANNICAL IN THE PAST.

BUT...

IF JESUS IS GOD...

IF CHRISTIANITY IS TRUE...

THEN THERE IS A TRUE CHURCH WHICH LEADS PEOPLE TO HEAVEN AND NEVER LEADS ANYONE TO HELL.

SO...

IT NEVER MAKES ANY SENSE TO REBEL AGAINST GOD'S TRUE CHURCH.

MERELY BECAUSE HISTORY SHOWS THAT VARIOUS CHURCHES HAVE BEEN TYRANNICAL...MERELY BECAUSE FALSE CHURCHES EXIST...THIS DOESN'T MEAN CHRISTIANITY IS FALSE.

Acts 20. 29-31 and 1 Timothy 4. 1-4 are ancient prophesies telling us evil men will corrupt Christianity.

1 Corinthians 11. 27-29 says you drink damnation into your soul if you celebrate Holy Communion in an unworthy manner.

For century after century various churches gave the bread and the wine to evil kings, evil nobles, evil slavemasters...

2 Thess 2 deals with the Antichrist, strong delusion AND A FALLING AWAY, such as a falling away from the True Faith.

Lord Acton told us in his essay `Human Sacrifice':

`And yet, long after the last victim had fallen in honour of the sun-god of the Aztecs, the civilised nations of Christian Europe continued to wage wholesale destruction...Protestants and Catholics, clergy and laity, vied with each other for two hundred years to provide victims, and every refinement of legal ingenuity and torture was used in order to increase their number. In 1591, at Nördligen, a girl was tortured twenty-three times before she confessed...Three years later, in the same town, a woman suffered torture fifty-six times without confessing she was a witch."
