If you have any questions about...God, Jesus, The Bible, Religion, Ethics...

I'm always happy to answer anyone's questions to the best of my ability on any religion related topic. If you e-mail me a question I'll respond to you privately if you want, or in a post if you don't mind so that others can learn the answer to what's causing you to ponder. I don't claim any authority for my thoughts other than the Holy Bible, the inspired Word of God that is our direction and guide. There will always be "experts" who claim this or that about the Bible or religion, but it really isn't that difficult for the average Joe to understand what God is asking of him/her and, nor does it require an education to be a Christian; simply put your faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to save you from your sins and start living your life according to his teachings...I look forward to hearing from you.
