Site Rebuild in Progress
God versus religion
This site is under construction—but the thought is already live.
Just the name, God versus religion, points out the many potential differences between what God told us about Himself and what some religions try to tell us.
I’m in the process of moving my original site, godversusreligion.com to godversusreligion.org, for several reasons. The previous site began to lose focus because the topic range was too broad. So it’s being split into this one and a sister site, whichgodcansave.org. I also moved it to a different host to get better performance.
I’m also adding several significant improvements in the process. The one that will hopefully have a big impact is that it will now have screen reader support with added code in the background to support screen readers – including those built into browsers and operating systems, especially with iPad and Safari.
My goal is clarity, not conflict. I invite readers to think deeply about what the Bible says, where God tells us about Himself – and what various religions tell us about Him. When it adds clarity and/or exposes different translations and interpretations, those things are clearly pointed out. My goal is not to tell you what to believe, but to enable you to know why you believe the things you believe.
After all, your eternal soul depends on what you believe. even to the point of knowing what “believe” really meant in Biblical times. It’s not what we generally think of today.
What kind of topics will be included?
How do we learn from The Bible?
- Start by reading the Bible.
- Take the time and effort to learn:
- about what the Bible says;
- what the Bible said to the people from when it was written;
- from that what the Bible means for us today.
- With the help of the Holy Spirit, try to live according to God’s Word – Jesus – as He command us.
That’s what to expect from this site. I won’t tell you what to believe or do. I will tell you what I believe, as well as what various scholars through the ages have believed – even if I don’t agree.
Why?
Because, ultimately, each of us must “own our own faith”. If you face the Great White Throne Judgment, you will be standing alone. I won’t be with you. Whoever you get your beliefs regarding Christianity won’t be with you either. It’s your faith – or lack of faith. Better to own it now than to wait ’til it’s too late to see if your wishes about God were correct or not.
