What I Believe

In order to understand me, it helps to understand what I believe.  Since it can take a lot of time to formulate a full doctrinal statement, I will here provide a brief list of what I believe and hold to be true.  I plan to "beef up" this page as time permits, but you should know what is the base of my belief system as a minimum if you are interested in this web page and what drives it.

I believe:

1. That the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, and inerrant and the sole authority upon which to know and relate to God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit
2. That there is one God who is eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, existing as three Persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one in nature, attributes, power, and glory
3. That God created the world in six literal days, and that the accounts in the book of Genesis are literally true and accurate
4. That the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and that He is both true God and true man who physically dwelt among us for a time
5. That man was created perfect in the image of God, and subsequently sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual and eternal death which is separation from God
6. That all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and we are sinners in thought, word, and deed
7. That Satan is real and is an enemy of God and desires to ensure that no human being ever sees the inside of Heaven as far as he and his other fallen angels can control
8. That Jesus Christ died for our sins and defeated death so that we could have eternal life with Him if we accept His free offer of eternal life made to every human being
9. That those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are "born again" and have the assurance of eternal life with Him
10. That even though we are saved through Christ that we have an obligation to honor that salvation by avoiding sin, a sinful lifestyle, or engaging in sinful behavior as defined in the Bible
11. That being homosexual is neither in itself a sin or a condemnation to Hell, but rather a challenge to accept Jesus Christ as one's Lord and live a life that is pleasing to Him and avoids all homosexual behavior and activities
12. That we are commanded by Jesus to spread the "good news" of the Gospel to all peoples, but that homosexuals who have a saving relationship with Jesus have a special obligation to share the good news with other homosexuals who may not yet have had the opportunity to accept Jesus as Lord or may need loving encouragement to establish an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ
13. That there is no pleasure, lifestyle or sin in this life that can possibly compete with the assurance and joy of future eternal life with Jesus, even though Satan and his kind would have many believe that pleasure in this life is the ultimate goal of why we were created.
14. That Satan will, as promised in the book of Revelation, some day receive the just compensation for his actions, for his opposition and hatred of the Holy Trinity, for his corruption of mankind by being punished and tormented for all eternity
15. That one who rejects the free offer of salvation through Jesus Christ will see their eternal soul live apart from Him for all eternity in a place of sadness, torment, and isolation from God
16. That the ONLY path to an eternal life in Heaven with God is by means of a relationship with Jesus Christ; there is no other way by which mankind can achieve salvation or eternal life; Jesus is the "gatekeeper" to Heaven and only by having a true relationship with Him can any of us escape the condemnation of eternal life apart from God in Hell

I plan to update and expand this list as time and inspiration permit.  I want you to know what I believe so that you can evaluate every statement I make and see if it measures up when held up against God's Holy Word, the Bible.  Only if you know what I believe will you perhaps understand why I created this web site and deeply wish that no  homosexual ever see the insides of Hell.  I feel that God has set me aside for this mission of bringing the message of eternal salvation to every homosexual on planet Earth.  I feel that God is also calling other homosexuals to abandon the life that the flesh, which is weak and sinful, would deem to be appropriate; instead I believe that God is calling on homosexuals to accept the life that is pleasing to Him and establish an everlasting relationship with Jesus Christ, even even if it means a life on this earth of self-sacrifice and self-denial.
