The Author

I am deeply passionate about delving into ancient history, science, and theology. Balancing my studies in these diverse fields, I embark on a personal quest to uncover truth, navigating the complexities of scientific inquiry and spiritual exploration. For me, this journey is not just an academic pursuit; it's a deeply personal exploration that guides how I understand and navigate the complexities of life. At the end of the day, it’s all about the heart. None of us are perfect—we all stumble, we all grow, and we all learn at our own pace. What truly matters is the sincerity of our intentions, the love we show, and the grace we give and receive along the way. A humble, honest heart matters more than striving to appear perfect, because it shows a true desire to seek truth, extend compassion, and keep growing.

My Story

Growing up, I often found it hard to understand why so many religions made it feel like you had to follow a long list of rules just to be accepted by God. It seemed like His love had to be earned, instead of being freely given. That made faith feel more like a burden than a relationship. It’s the difference between forced love and unconditional love. True love isn’t based on performance—it’s offered freely. When love depends on being perfect, it creates fear and pressure. But when love is unconditional, it brings peace, freedom, and a real connection. Isn’t that what we’d expect from a truly loving God—one who loves us first, and simply invites us to respond?

​

In a similar way, I noticed that even in science, some ideas seem to be forced to fit the accepted view, rather than adjusting the view to match new discoveries. But real science should follow the evidence—even if it means rethinking what we thought was true. Over time, I saw how both religion and science can be misused or controlled by people. That led me to ask deeper questions: What really is the truth? And how do we know when we’ve found it?

​

These thoughts sparked some big questions in my mind: Is God truly real—or is the idea of God something people created through religion? Are we discovering real truth through science, or are some theories shaped more by personal beliefs and bias than by honest evidence? Why are there so many different religions in the world? How did they all begin? If there’s one truth, why do people disagree on what it is? And with all these differences, how do we know which belief—if any—reflects reality? What if some of what we’ve accepted, whether in science or religion, is based more on tradition than truth?

 

These weren’t just philosophical ideas to me—they felt like real questions that deserved real answers.

​

In the end, what we believe often comes down to trust—trusting the people, institutions, or sources that claim to tell us the truth. But that raised an even bigger question for me: How do we really know if what we’re being told is actually true, or just someone’s personal or ideological belief—whether in science or religion? At the heart of it all is the question: What is truth? Truth, by definition, is what aligns with reality—it’s what actually is, not just what we believe or want to be true. So how can we tell the difference between truth and assumption? Between facts and interpretations? And if truth exists, how do we find it in a world filled with so many conflicting voices?

 

I began to realize how vital truth really is—because without it, our grasp on reality starts to slip. Lies and falsehoods don’t just mislead; they create a kind of illusion—a version of reality that feels real but isn’t. Truth, on the other hand, brings clarity and consistency. It gives us something solid to stand on—a foundation for understanding the world, building trust, and maintaining order. But without truth, confusion quickly takes over. Things fall apart. If everything becomes subjective, then “truth” becomes whatever someone feels or believes in the moment. It’s no longer about what’s actually real. Suddenly it’s “your truth” versus “my truth,” where both are treated as equally valid—even when they contradict reality. That left me asking: Can we really live in a world where facts are replaced by feelings? Where objective truth is lost in personal opinion? And if so, what does that mean for how we understand anything at all?

​

Over time, I’ve come to understand that truth isn’t always one-size-fits-all—it often depends on the context and the kind of evidence available. In philosophy, truth is usually grouped into a few major types: Empirical truth, which comes from observation and evidence (what we can see, measure, or test), Logical truth, which is based on reason and consistent thinking, Historical truth, which draws from past events, eyewitness accounts, and archaeological discoveries, and Moral truth, which relates to right and wrong, values, and ethical principles.

​

We don’t always need absolute proof to know something is true. Often, truth is supported by strong evidence that gives us a solid, reasonable picture of reality. Interestingly, this is also how much of science works. Even when there's no way to directly test a theory, scientists still draw conclusions based on the best available evidence. For example, take the origin of the moon or the beginning of life—scientists haven’t found definitive answers to either. Instead, we’re left with a range of theories, each supported by different kinds of evidence, but none proven beyond all doubt. This shows that even in science, truth often means building the most reasonable explanation based on what we do know, not what we wish we could prove for certain.

​

Like most individuals, we all seek to understand what is true. However, people often resist accepting the truth because they're in denial or struggle with the discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs, a psychological state known as cognitive dissonance. This resistance can perpetuate falsehoods and lies, leading to a distorted reality that doesn't align with actual facts. This distortion causes confusion, misguided beliefs, and poor decision-making. Even more dangerously, some may live in their own illusions, mistaking them for reality, which can lead to serious consequences and a disconnected, unsafe perception of the world. It reminds me of the following saying:

​

"Truth is like surgery. It hurts but cures. Lie is like a painkiller. It gives instant relief but has side effects forever."

​

Interesting enough, the essence of how truth, though sometimes painful, ultimately heals, while lies provide temporary comfort but lead to long-term negative consequences. Truth may sting, but it heals. Lies soothe for a moment but leave wounds that never close. Regardless of the outcome what is true, whether you disagree with it or not it remains factual. That's the power of truth. Truth doesn't take your feelings into consideration to distort reality. The universe and the laws of nature remain indifferent to individual beliefs and perspectives, unaffected by personal desires or preferences. It is people who distort the truth to accommodate to what they want to be true, to align to the reality they want to live in. We see this being very evident in todays world.

​

Personally, when seeking the truth, I found it essential to approach the quest with an open mind, willing to consider various perspectives and viewpoints. Most importantly, be willing to be honest with yourself, become humble and change your mind when evidence contradicts what you believed to be true even when it becomes uncomfortable. Avoid the state of denial. Exploring many sides of a topic allows for a comprehensive understanding and enables us to make informed judgments. By embracing openness and curiosity, we can uncover deeper insights and arrive at a more accurate understanding of reality.

​

As I explored different perspectives and carefully considered the evidence and reasoning behind them, I wanted to fully understand the complexities of how the universe and life came to be. This personal journey of asking questions and seeking answers has helped me navigate through the many ideas about belief and knowledge, bringing me closer to my own understanding of the truth.

​

So my journey began. 

​​

I found myself torn between two very different viewpoints: on one hand, the scientific belief in naturalism, where everything is thought to have come from natural processes, and on the other, the idea that intelligence, often linked to design, plays a role in the origins of life. But what if creation began with design and intelligence, yet unfolded through natural processes recognized in science? Struggling to reconcile these perspectives, I began exploring deeply, reading scientific literature, historical records, theology, and of course the entire Hebrew Bible (which includes the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings), as well as the Gospels, covering the life and teachings of Jesus.

​

As I reflected on the relationship between science and spirituality, I began to see them not as opposing forces, but as two sides of the same coin—each offering essential insights into the nature of truth and reality. On one side of this "coin," science shines with the brilliance of discovery, representing humanity’s relentless curiosity and drive to understand the physical laws and intricate workings of the universe. On the other side, adorned with the deep symbols of faith and spiritual reflection, lies the timeless wisdom of religion—offering moral direction, meaning, and answers to questions science alone cannot resolve.

​

Both sides are vital. One reveals the mechanics of how life operates; the other explores why we exist and how we ought to live. Remove one side, and the coin is incomplete. That’s why I “coined” (pun intended) the term Coin of Truth—a simple analogy to illustrate the idea that truth is found in the unity of both science and spirituality. You can’t have one without the other if you're seeking a full and honest understanding of existence.

​

Ironically, this analogy echoed a famous quote I later discovered, which captures this harmony perfectly:

​

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
— Albert Einstein​

​

As I explored theology, ancient history, and modern science, I began to notice something surprising—many ideas that are often presented as unquestionable “facts” turned out to be based more on speculation or influenced by personal or cultural beliefs rather than solid evidence. What’s more, I observed that mainstream science sometimes leaves out important data—especially when it comes to historical timelines or evidence of ancient technological advancements that don't easily fit the accepted narrative.

​

Even more concerning, I found that respected experts who question the mainstream perspective often face serious pushback. Some are defunded, ignored, or even threatened simply for raising alternative viewpoints. This raised an important question for me: Why suppress open discussion if the goal is truth? It began to seem less like a neutral search for knowledge and more like a controlled narrative—one where only certain explanations are allowed to stand.

 

This realization increased my determination to understand science and theology independently to get to the bottom of what is the truth or at the very least what is it, we currently do and do not understand.​ Recognizing the pervasive influence of personal biases, opinions, and ideologies that have infiltrated both science and religion, my approach serves as a bridge between these spheres, aiming to navigate through the complexities of biased narratives.

 

It’s crucial to be especially discerning in today’s world, where the lines between science and spirituality can often blur. There are moments when religion is misused for power, control, or profit—such as when spiritual leaders exploit faith to manipulate followers or enforce harmful traditions. On the other hand, there are times when science itself begins to resemble a form of religion—rigid and closed off—where any evidence that challenges the mainstream narrative is immediately dismissed, no matter how credible it may be.

​

For example, researchers who explore ideas like intelligent design, ancient advanced civilizations, or alternative origins of the universe often face intense criticism—not always because their evidence is flawed, but because it threatens deeply held assumptions. Similarly, some religious institutions may reject well-supported scientific findings simply because they don’t align with their doctrine. This raises a serious concern: When either science or spirituality becomes dogmatic, it stops being a tool for truth and starts becoming a tool for control. That’s why it’s so important to stay open-minded, question everything, and be willing to explore both sides—science and spirituality—honestly and thoughtfully.

 

After all, truth doesn’t fear scrutiny.

​

Although scientific institutions such as CERN may seem disconnected from spirituality initially, further scrutiny uncovers underlying spiritual beliefs and practices. Despite the outward appearance of exclusive scientific focus, the presence of religious symbols like the Shiva goddess monument hints at deeper meanings within these establishments. Similarly, the elaborate and controversial occult-themed ceremony during the inauguration of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland in 2016 raises questions about the presumed divide between science, government, and spirituality. The event, which marked the opening of the world’s longest railway tunnel, was attended by numerous world leaders, politicians, and dignitaries from across Europe. Yet instead of a standard ribbon-cutting or purely technical showcase, the ceremony featured bizarre, symbolic performances—filled with references to death, rebirth, pagan deities, and even a goat-headed figure often associated with occult imagery.

 

For many observers, this spectacle seemed out of place for what was otherwise a triumph of modern engineering and scientific achievement. Why would such an event—supposedly grounded in rationality, technology, and progress—be celebrated through symbolic acts often linked to esoteric or spiritual themes?

​

This raises a compelling point: while science is often portrayed as atheistic, purely objective, and detached from any form of spiritual or religious belief, the lines may not be as clear-cut. Ceremonies like this suggest that even in scientific or political spaces, symbolic and spiritual elements—whether rooted in ancient rituals, occult traditions, or metaphysical worldviews—still play a role, consciously or unconsciously. It invites us to reconsider the assumption that science and spirituality never intersect, and instead explore how they may coexist, influence, or even blur into one another in ways that are not always obvious.

​​

When it comes to religion, history shows us a troubling pattern—those in power have often misused faith for personal gain. In many cases, leaders have twisted religious teachings to strengthen their control and authority. By claiming their rule was divinely approved, they were able to demand unquestioning loyalty from the people. This manipulation of belief systems allowed them to suppress opposition and silence dissent, all under the banner of religious obedience. Throughout history, we can find countless examples where religion was exploited to justify persecution, enforce strict control, and concentrate power in the hands of a few.

​

History provides several powerful examples of how religion has been misused to justify violence, suppress dissent, and maintain control. One of the most well-known instances is the Crusades, a series of religious wars between the 11th and 13th centuries. European leaders, with the backing of the Catholic Church, launched military campaigns to reclaim Jerusalem and other parts of the Holy Land from Muslim control. While portrayed as a holy mission, these wars resulted in widespread bloodshed, destruction, and suffering—often fueled by manipulated religious fervor.

​

Similarly, the Spanish Inquisition, which began in the late 15th century under the rule of Ferdinand II and Isabella I of Spain, used religion as a tool to consolidate power and enforce religious conformity. Thousands of people—especially Jews and Muslims—were tortured, imprisoned, or executed under suspicion of heresy or secretly practicing their faith. The Inquisition created an atmosphere of fear and forced conversions, all in the name of religious purity.

​

Another tragic example is the Salem witch trials in 17th-century colonial America. Fueled by superstition, fear, and a rigid interpretation of religious doctrine, dozens of innocent people—mostly women—were accused of witchcraft, leading to imprisonment and executions. These events revealed how quickly fear and religious extremism can spiral into mass hysteria and injustice.

​

These moments in history remind us of the dangers that arise when religious belief is manipulated for power or control. They highlight the importance of questioning how authority is used and of separating genuine faith from systems that seek to exploit it.

​​​

Ironically, some atheists unknowingly promote agendas aligned with satanic-like ideologies. Symbols of ancient mysticism and occult practices often appear in music videos, films, and political events, cleverly woven into narratives to create a mysterious allure that captivates audiences of all ages.

 

Social media was the largest shifts towards narcissistic tendencies, promoting a culture that embraces the ideology of "Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law". This phrase, stemming from the teachings of Aleister Crowley, a contentious occultist and ceremonial magician, embodies a philosophy that champions individualism and self-gratification. It serves as the foundation for the belief in doing whatever one desires, being whoever one wants, whenever and however they choose.

 

Is this not clearly evident in society today? Is this ideological view not being pushed into the corporate, entertainment and education establishments?

 

Have you heard the term "Love is Love"? It promotes embracing love in all its forms, suggesting that there is no wrong way to love. This idea echoes satanic cult practices, such as Thelema's principle: "Do what thou wilt. Love is the law, love under will," which emphasizes following one's desires without restriction.

​

In essence, both Thelema and the "Love is Love" social construct promote values of personal freedom, authenticity, and acceptance in the realm of love and relationships. They encourage individuals to move away from the notion of following God's will and guidance, instead embracing self-direction and self-expression in matters of love and identity. Both reflect a broader cultural shift towards embracing diversity, individuality, and the affirmation of love in all its forms, challenging traditional moral norms and advocating for a more inclusive and self-directed approach to life.

​

Embracing the ethos of "Do what thou wilt" encourages individuals to prioritize fulfilling their true will, which can be seen as moving away from traditional obedience to God and towards a focus on personal desires. This approach is akin to the philosophies of many modern satanic cults, which emphasize self-fulfillment and individualism.

 

And when we take a moment to reflect, we often realize that we are more inclined to do what we want rather than what we're told. We prefer to follow our own paths rather than acknowledge that God's path, or the guidance of others, is better. Do you ever find yourself questioning why, despite your care, love, guidance, and sincere efforts to guide your friend, child, or family member they still reject your advice? Are they not sincerely or passionately convinced that they know what's best, even though you explain how their choices could potentially lead to nothing good? Where the end results left you saying, "I tried to warn you" or "I hate to say it, but I told you so".

 

In many ways, humanity often resembles stubborn children—resistant to guidance, preferring to follow our own desires, instincts, and beliefs rather than seeking or accepting direction from a higher authority. The concept of accountability, especially to someone greater than ourselves—such as God—is uncomfortable for many. Deep down, we want to be in control. We like to believe we know what’s best for our lives. And the idea of answering to anyone else, let alone a divine being, challenges our autonomy and pride.

​

This rebellious tendency is nothing new. It echoes all the way back to the beginning of the biblical narrative. When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God’s direct command in the Garden of Eden, they acted out of a desire to decide right and wrong for themselves, without God's involvement. Later, the Israelites, despite witnessing miracles during their exodus from Egypt, spent 40 years wandering the wilderness due to repeated acts of disobedience and mistrust in God’s plan—as described in the Book of Numbers.

​

Even today, this resistance is still part of human nature. Many people bristle at being told what to do, even when the advice is for their own good. Whether it comes from authority figures, religious teachings, or even well-meaning loved ones, guidance is often met with skepticism or outright rejection. Modern culture, in many ways, celebrates self-determination and personal freedom above all else, sometimes to the detriment of wisdom, accountability, or moral structure.

 

Ultimately, this reflects a deeper spiritual truth: humanity has long struggled with humility, submission, and trust in something beyond itself. The challenge is learning that true freedom often comes through alignment with truth and guidance—not in rejecting it.


So where does this leave us?

​

I’ve learned that just by believing in something deeply, doesn’t make it true. Just because it feels comforting, doesn’t mean it’s right. What really matters is not how strong your faith is, but whether what you’re putting your faith in is actually trustworthy. Depending solely on passion or blind faith to shape one's beliefs can pose risks and lead to misconceptions or down the wrong path. Hence why it's crucial to study and examine the evidence yourself to determine the credibility of your beliefs is in fact truthful. Your actions are guided by your beliefs, and it's crucial to anchor those beliefs in truth, which means believing in what corresponds to reality.

​

Religious cults like those led by Jim Jones, Apple White, and the Rajneesh movement are characterized by their charismatic leaders who often claim to have special insights or divine authority. They claimed to know the truth and spread their ideological views. Members sincerely believed in the teachings and directives of these leaders, often to the extent of sacrificing their own well-being or even their lives. Tragically, this unwavering belief can lead to extreme consequences, as seen in the mass suicides orchestrated by Jim Jones in Jonestown, the mass suicide of the Heaven's Gate cult led by Apple White, and the criminal activities and controversies surrounding the Rajneesh movement in Oregon during the 1980s.​


Understanding the difference between proof and evidence helps us explore truth more thoughtfully in both science and religion. Some truths can be clearly proven, but many are based on evaluating the evidence we have. Because there’s often uncertainty and not every answer is complete, we come to realize that accepting some truths also requires faith—trusting what seems most reasonable and consistent, even when we don’t have all the answers. Having faith rooted in evidence entails concluding our beliefs based on tangible evidence, reasoned analysis, and critical examination. It emphasizes the importance of evidence and rationality in shaping our faith.

 

Unlike the misconception that faith means believing without evidence, yet it's understood that faith should be evidence-based, encouraging scrutiny and examination. Again, as I said before truth doesn’t fear scrutiny.

​

This viewpoint promotes critical thinking and open-mindedness, stressing the significance of examining evidence from different sources and viewpoints to reach a well-founded understanding of truth. We often rely on ancient historical records, archaeological findings, and ancient texts to determine historical truths, despite lacking concrete "proof" in many cases. Scholars generally agree that Alexander the Great existed, despite the absence of written records from his own time that directly describe his life. Instead, we rely on evidence such as historical accounts that collectively support his existence and major achievements. 

​

Having this in mind about our history, I thought to myself, what comes of it when looking into Jesus and the Gospel? Is God true or nothing more than a myth? What did Jesus say who he said he was and is it historically accurate?

 

Examining what sets Jesus apart from all other religious figures, several unique aspects emerge. His divine identity, fulfillment of prophecy, miraculous works, atoning sacrifice, resurrection, exclusive claims, transformative teachings, and the offer of a personal relationship with God combine to make Jesus a unique and unparalleled figure in history. Importantly, many truth claims of Jesus are not only profound but also historically accurate and are evidence-based including eye witness testimonies.

 

Historical records, archaeological discoveries, and the remarkable consistency across thousands of ancient manuscripts strongly support the authenticity of Jesus's life, teachings, and the events surrounding His ministry and the individuals mentioned in the Bible. Simply put, Jesus cannot be explained away or dismissed as mere myth or fabrication—there is too much historical and textual evidence pointing to His real-life impact.

​

When examining the Bible, what some claim to be contradictions are, in truth, nuanced differences—particularly among the four Gospel accounts. These variations are not evidence of error, but rather resemble what we see in eyewitness testimonies. Just as in any police investigation, no two testimonies are ever word-for-word identical. In fact, if they were, it would raise suspicions of collaboration or fabrication—a phenomenon known in law enforcement as collusion or conspiracy to align the story. The uniqueness of each biblical account lends credibility, not confusion, and helps paint a fuller picture of the events described.

​

Furthermore, archaeological findings continue to affirm the historical accuracy of numerous biblical narratives—from locations and ancient cultures to inscriptions referencing figures named in Scripture. These findings do not disprove the Bible but often confirm the people, places, and practices referenced throughout its pages.

​

Perhaps even more compelling is the accuracy of biblical prophecy. There are no verified cases of biblical prophecies that conflict with known historical outcomes. On the contrary, many have been fulfilled with astonishing detail. This consistency suggests a level of foresight and truthfulness beyond human capability. One of the most powerful arguments for the authenticity of the biblical message is this: no one willingly dies for a lie they know to be false. Throughout history, countless individuals—including Jesus's own disciples—were tortured, imprisoned, and executed for their unwavering belief in what they had seen and heard. Their willingness to suffer and die is not based on blind faith, but on personal experience and conviction that what they witnessed was true.

​

All these elements together—historical, archaeological, prophetic, and testimonial—form a compelling case for the reliability of the Bible and the enduring truth of its central figure: Jesus Christ.

​

It's individuals who make such claims with no supporting evidence to their claims through misconceptions which convolute historical events.

 

For example, in Mormonism, founded in the 1820s, Joseph Smith claimed that the angel Moroni revealed that the original biblical texts had been corrupted and were incomplete. Moroni allegedly directed Smith to golden plates, which became the Book of Mormon, intended to restore the “true” gospel. Mormonism further introduced additional texts, including the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, which provide unique teachings on God, eternal progression, and pre-mortal existence. These scriptures serve as corrections to what is believed to be a flawed biblical canon, forming the foundation of LDS faith.

​

Similarly, in Islam, which began in the early 7th century CE, it is believed that the Prophet Muhammad received revelations from the angel Gabriel (Jibril). Gabriel informed him that earlier scriptures—including the Torah (Tawrat), the Psalms (Zabur), and the Gospel (Injil)—had been altered or corrupted by Jews and Christians over time. As a result, the Qur’an was revealed to Muhammad as the final, unaltered word of God (Allah), meant to supersede all previous scriptures. Though Muslims acknowledge the original revelations given to Moses, David, and Jesus, they believe the current versions of these texts are no longer trustworthy.

​

Both of these major religions—emerging centuries after the foundational events of Judaism and Christianity—assert that the earlier scriptures were corrupted and therefore needed to be replaced. However, neither offers concrete historical or manuscript-based evidence pinpointing when, how, or by whom these alleged corruptions occurred. Instead, these claims often rely on divine revelation to a single individual, with no external verification.

 

These new scriptures often reflect the institutionalization of religion, where spiritual authority is centralized in newly established religious bodies that dictate theology, practices, and sacred writings.

 

Each of these religions presents a different view of God, salvation, and especially Jesus—offering entirely distinct and often contradictory portrayals. In Mormonism, Jesus is considered the spirit brother of Lucifer and a created being. In Islam, Jesus (Isa) is seen as a prophet, not the Son of God, and He did not die on the cross. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel in human form and deny His divine nature. In contrast, biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully divine, and the only Savior of the world.

​

These contradictions make it clear that not all religions can be true. The idea that “all religions are basically the same” is a comforting but deeply flawed notion. They may share some surface values like kindness or morality, but they make radically different claims about who God is, what truth is, and how salvation works. Truth, by nature, is exclusive—opposing beliefs cannot all be right at the same time.

 

This is why it’s essential to examine the foundation of our faith carefully, rather than assume all spiritual paths lead to the same destination.

​

The Bible gives strong warnings about being led astray by false teachings. In Galatians 1:8, Paul says, “Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!” And in 2 Corinthians 11:4, he warns, “If someone comes and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached… or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.”. Paul is frustrated that the believers in Corinth were too quick to accept anyone who came preaching a different version of Jesus, a different spirit, or a different gospel—even though these things contradicted the truth they had originally been taught.

​

It shows just how easy it is to be deceived—and why we need to stay grounded in the original message of the Gospel.​ It is vital to remain faithful to the true message of the Gospel as originally taught by the apostles and to be cautious of accepting any altered or false teachings, even if they come from an angel. Satan's intent to disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) is to subtly deceive and lead people away from the original truth, distorting the Gospel for his own purposes. This is why discerning truth is crucial, especially when revelations lack evidence and contradict the message of Christ. We are repeatedly warned to stay vigilant and not be swayed by teachings that stray from the authentic Gospel.

​

The Bible’s authenticity is supported by over 20,000 manuscripts—including the Masoretic Text, Dead Sea Scrolls, and early translations like the Septuagint. These documents, preserved across centuries and regions, consistently affirm the core message of Scripture, showing that God’s Word has been faithfully passed down. Based on the evidence, I believe Jesus is in fact is who he says he is, according to the historical manuscripts and archeological discoveries that align to the bible. I believe that each individual has an important part to play in the bigger picture of life and to seek after truth.

 

Every voice holds the power to author truth, in both science and religion. My journey isn't about forcing beliefs on others; it's about motivating and inspiring them as they search for what is true and to question those who claim it. Furthermore, to actually speak and share what is true even when its difficult. Read the bible for yourself. Jesus didn't merely assert that he understood the truth; he declared that he himself embodies the truth, as stated in John 14:6:

​

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

​

Through my journey, I came to realize that my faith is not rooted in any religion, but in Jesus Christ—the embodiment of truth itself. While religions, like anything else, can be misused, twisted, or distorted by individuals, this does not alter the truth. The truth remains constant, regardless of how it is manipulated. Similarly, although science can be misrepresented or misunderstood, the objective truth of the universe remains unchanged. This is why it’s so important to ask questions, to seek genuine answers, and to follow the path of truth, wherever it leads.

​

When you seek sincerely, you will find what you're looking for. Beyond the veils of deception, the answers you seek await to be found, amidst the tangled lies that try to hide it. It's like when you're trying to solve a puzzle - the more you look, the more pieces you'll find. Over time, each piece brings you closer to seeing the whole picture, and eventually, everything will fit together and make sense.

 

The search for truth requires courage, humility, and a willingness to look beyond human distortions and understand what is truly real. It’s about seeking the unchanging, eternal truth that stands firm even when everything else shifts. In the end, truth is not just something we find—it’s something that finds us when we are open to it. When truth becomes offensive, you know comfort has replaced honesty. 

​

As I reflect on my journey, I’ve come to realize that faith isn’t about meeting a checklist of rules to earn God’s love—it’s about embracing the unconditional love He offers freely. True love isn’t about perfection; it’s about acceptance, grace, and relationship. When we understand that God’s love and forgiveness isn’t earned but given, we experience freedom, peace, and a deeper connection with Him. That’s the love that invites us to respond, not out of obligation, but out of gratitude and genuine affection. Isn’t that the kind of love we all long for, and the kind of love we should be willing to offer in return?

“Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”

- Matthew 7:7
