Christian Apologetics
Exploring evidence for faith, truth, and the reality of God
Seeking Truth Together
I believe our main purpose in life is to know God, make God known to others and make disciples of Jesus. I gave my life to Jesus at age 7. I've spent an entire lifetime studying, traveling and analyzing all the world's major religions. I have traveled extensively throughout the Holy Land and the Middle East and one of my companies did business in Israel and other Middle Eastern countries. I have been everywhere in Israel except the Gaza Strip. I also did business in India, China and Japan. I have traveled extensively in those countries too and have studied their Eastern religions.
I am passionate about sharing the evidence and truth about the God of Bible and Jesus so that you, your family and friends may know them better. I have witnessed to agnostics and atheists, some with success and other times not. Remember, Jesus said in the Parable of the Sower, only one out of four seeds planted took root and grew. A believer's job is to plant the seeds and help make disciples. The Holy Spirit will do the watering and cultivating. But of course, not everyone will believe and follow Jesus. The U.S.A. has freedom of religion and God gave everyone free will to choose to believe or not believe. If someone does not choose to believe in Christianity, they should still be fully loved and respected, as they are all God's children. However, God's design is that all people to come to Him through Jesus. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Perhaps my experiences and the information may help you or others you know.
Evidence for Faith
An atheist once asked me to provide evidence God exists without using the Bible or Christianity. Below is some information I provided him: 40 pieces of evidence for a supreme designer, creator – God.
Human beings are the highest, known, visible form of evidence of God's creation. Below is a list of 40 things human beings can do that smartest animals can't do. The Bible says humans were created in God's image.
One of the reasons to believe the Bible is real, truthful and not a mythical book (it's really a library collection of books) is because of all the prophecies (predictions) written thousands and hundreds of years in advance of events occurring that then actually came true. See below a short list and a long list of of all the prophecies written thousands and hundreds of years in advance of Jesus' birth, that he fulfilled.
Why the Bible is Truthful
When the first five books of the Old Testament were written by Moses, Egypt was Israel's nemesis. In Egypt at that time, pharaohs were considered "gods", they were perfect and could do no wrong, nothing ever was written negative or embarrassing about them. Contrast that with the Bible and the dysfunctionality of the Israelites and embarrassing details written about them. No one would normally make up embarrassing information about their leaders and forefathers if it was not true. The Bible is filled with many embarrassing accounts of Israelites and of Jesus's apostles.
After Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, 11 out of 12 of Jesus' apostles were martyred. The odds that 11 different men would be willing to suffer and die on the account of Christianity would be extremely low if they had not all seen and witnessed that Jesus rose from the dead after he was crucified. All those men would not be willing to die for a lie or a fictitious story.
There are also many archeological discoveries over the last hundred years that corroborate the information in the Bible and point to its validity.

The Three Best Things in Life
Since I gave my life to Jesus at a young age, it took me awhile to realize and experience for myself that the very best things in life are all free. You can't buy these although some people may think you can. These are the three best things in life that I have found and experienced and they are all free:
Salvation
The gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ
Love
The unconditional love of God and others
Joy
The deep joy that comes from the Holy Spirit and knowing God
Questions About Faith?
If you would like me to address a specific issue, question or concern you may have about God, Jesus, the Bible, Christianity or any other major world religions, please contact me directly using the contact page information. If you have not read the Bible or not read it recently, I suggest you read the Gospel of John (fourth book of the New Testament).
