Page 1 of 24 Evidence for Christ’s existence, and the Global Flood (This page is equal to about 1 and ¼ A4 pages long)
Around 4,500 years ago, one of the most devastating events this world has experienced took place…the Global Flood.
Today, many people doubt this flood ever happened, and yet we have a huge amount of evidence that a truly global flood did actually take place.
Writing #2 More Evidence shares a range of credible evidence, so please take a look. I also share some of this evidence on Pages 3 and 4 of this writing.
———- ———- ———-
Around 2000 years ago, one of the most famous events in human history took place…the crucifixion of Jesus-the-Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach is His Hebrew title). And yet today, many people question whether Jesus Christ ever existed.
- We can be certain Christ’s crucifixion occurred, because we have reliable historical accounts from credible non-biblical historians (including those who lived during the 1st Century AD).
- One of these non-biblical historians was Publius Cornelius Tacitus (born 56 AD and died in 120 AD). Tacitus was a Roman historian and politician, and he is widely regarded by modern scholars to be one of the greatest Roman historians.
- In his accounts called ‘Annals’, Tacitus refers to Jesus as “Christus”. He goes on to mention Jesus was executed by Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius. These specific details exactly match what the Bible accounts record.
Writing #2 More Evidence provides a list of other respected non-biblical historians who wrote about Christ, along with links so you can read what they recorded.
The point I am trying to get across is Jesus is not a make-believe character.
———- ———- ———-
Writing #2 More Evidence also shares some very clear prophecies that foretold of His coming; prophecies we know were recorded long before Christ’s ministry.
The idea of prophecies gets played with in fantasy films and mythical tales, but references to prophecies actually form over 25% of the Bible.
The large number of detailed prophecies is what makes Judeo-Christianity unique when compared to all other religious and spiritual beliefs.
Only a truly reliable religion would have the confidence to include such a large number of specific prophecies, because, if any single prophecy turned out to be false, it would expose the whole religion as unreliable – after all, if God is meant to be perfect, His prophetic knowledge must be perfect too.
So far, for all the evidence we have today, no Bible prophecy has ever been proven to be false. This is why Christians have confidence the remaining prophecies will come true, and is why we continue to urge doubters to pray to God and repent of personal corruptions (sins) / ask for salvation.
Page 2 of 24 A brief explanation about The Global Flood (This page is equal to about ½ an A4 page long)
The Bible claims the flood was an act of God’s judgment upon humans who lived with many corruptions and were unrepentant.
In the book of Genesis we are told that life on Earth had become so corrupt, that large parts of the Creation had become affected. This is why God felt the need to apply such a major reset. But it also presented God with an ideal opportunity to educate His creation about the true damage sin can lead to, and why obedience to His guidance is the only path to eternal peace.
- The Bible warns us God will judge His Creation again, with a final separation taking place between unbelievers and repentant believers, before God purifies this Creation so that it is fit for eternal life.
Until then, humans have the opportunity to learn from our fallen ways, and have the genuine opportunity to be guided by God. So please take this call seriously. This website is here to help clear up various doubts or confusions people may have.
We don’t need to be super-religious, or close to perfect, but we are asked to take the issue of sin / corruption more seriously. Overtime we grow to understand this more, but it starts with the first step, repentance to God for our personal sins.
Salvation was offered before the flood, and continues to be offered now. It is simple to receive, but there are reasons why it requires us to be willing to place our trust in Christ’s atonement.
This is explained around the middle of Page 17 and also more on Page 19 in Writing #1 Part Two.
Page 3 of 24 A brief sample of evidence for the Global Flood (Part 1) (This page is equal to about one and ¾ A4 pages long)
When we recognise The Global Flood really did occur, this puts Earth’s history in a very different light to what many try to teach in schools today.
Below are just a few examples of evidence for The Global Flood.
Writing #2 More Evidence shares a larger range of credible evidence, including more videos.
1) In the book of Genesis, chapter 7, verse 11, it teaches that The Global Flood was caused when the ‘fountains of the great deep were broken up’.
Please take a look at the global plate tectonics. Now ask yourself, is their pattern more in line with a meteorite impact, or, are these fractures in the Earth’s crust more in line with what we would expect from an underground force breaking through – such as massive amounts of water and magma?
2) We know The Grand Canyon was not carved out by a river, because the canyon walls are way too steep and deep. River erosion is a slow process that produces more gentle sloping edges.
The events at Mount St. Helens in 1980 revealed to geologists how deep canyons are formed – rapid erosion of rock and soil by fast-flowing water. The features created at Mount St. Helens are very similar to The Grand Canyon, just on a smaller scale.
This video further explains what occurred at Mount St Helens in 1980, and how we can apply this knowledge to other famous landscape features across the planet. The Bible accounts (including the book of Genesis) have a huge amount of scientific and archaeological support, as this website shares.
3) When organic life dies, they do not normally produce fossils. Instead, the flesh and bones of creatures often get cleared away by scavengers, whereas plant and tree remains tend to biodegrade.
- For fossils to form, there must be a combination of water and mineral deposits. Then, when the organic matter rots away, the imprint of the organic matter is left behind in these mineral deposits.
- (Animals, insects etc. are classed as fauna – plants are categorised as flora). When we find fossils of fauna that are very detailed, their bones (and even their flesh) must have remained in good condition for long enough so that the mineral deposits could preserve the organic imprint.
This shows that relatively fast events must have taken place (to cover these creatures in mud), before scavengers could disturb / remove the remaining flesh and bones.
- The fact we find fossilised creatures with dead animals still in their mouth, or undigested parts still in their stomach, also indicates very fast events caused their bodies to be covered and preserved.
- The fact we find so many detailed fossils across the world suggests huge amounts of water and mineral deposits (mud) were present, in order to cover millions of life-forms.
4) The water required to cause The Global Flood would trigger huge numbers of mud slides. Plus, during such events, global tides would grow to be epic, bringing in billions of tonnes of sediment.
- These tides would travel inland with huge amounts of energy, at very fast speeds. The ‘pancake layer soil formations’ found across North America are consistent with such devastating events.
What a Global Flood would also lead to is an Ice Age. Again, Big Bang and Evolution are not scientific fact, they are still theories, and they have huge reconciliation issues. This is why we are encouraged to do some personal research. Please also bear in mind this website would not be possible if the evidence for the Bible did not exist.
Page 4 of 24 A sample of evidence for the Global Flood (Part 2) (This page is equal to about 1 and ⅔ A4 pages long)
5) There are many examples of coal formations that have petrified trees (fossilised tree remains) that stand vertically through coal layers.
Evolution Theory teaches that each of these coal layers must have formed over long periods of time.
So, what logical reasons explain why these tree remains go through coal layers that are claimed by Evolutionists to be of different ages?
Again, Mount St. Helens provided the answer, and the answer is consistent with what would occur during a global flood.
- When the Mount St. Helens volcanic blast occurred in 1980, it wiped thousands of trees off the face of the mountain. These trees fell / collected into the lake below – Spirit Lake.
- What was observed was how some trees that fell into the lake, floated on their sides, then sunk to the lake bed, still on their sides.
- But other trees that still had their roots attached, became weighed down by their wet roots, and so fell vertically.
These tree trunks that sunk vertically were held in place by the other plant and tree matter that sunk around them. Over time, (since 1980) sediment has collected around these remains, keeping the trees upright, while horizontal layers built up around them.
———- ———- ———-
When plant and tree matter builds up, it becomes compressed under high pressure, which produces heat; this process can lead to coal forming.
When we consider a global event, this would involve billions of trees and trillions of tonnes of sediment, resulting in huge amounts of coal forming.
We also have evidence that trees grew a lot larger before the flood than they did after the flood; so did many animals, see Writing #2 More Evidence.
Today we can form coal, oil and diamonds very quickly in science laboratories, so we know they do not require millions of years to form. All that is required are the right conditions, which a global flood would easily satisfy.
———- ———- ———-
The witnessed events at Mount St. Helens since 1980, explains why petrified trees are found standing through what Evolutionists claim are ‘different ages of coal layers’. These coal layers are in fact not different ages – certainly not by tens of thousands of years.
- The evidence we have of these petrified trees, shows the Evolution idea of ‘coal forming over long periods of time’ is unreliable.
- The evidence we have of so many detailed fossils (as explained in Points 3 and 4) indicates very fast catastrophic events buried millions of organic matter.
Both these points support The Global Flood far better than Evolution.
In Writing #2 More Evidence I debunk Evolution and Big Bang theories further, including exposing known issues with radiometric dating (which is used to try to determine the age of rocks such as fossils, meteorites and soil layers) so please take a look.
This 3 minute video about known issues with radiometric dating is quite helpful:
If you found any of that interesting, please see Writing #2 More Evidence for further evidence, including human giants, and support for dinosaurs living alongside humans. I also share 2 videos below, on Page 5.
Page 5 of 24 A brief debunking of The Evolution Theory (This page is equal to about 1 and ¼ A4 pages long)
It is important to bear in mind that because Evolution is claimed to take ‘millions of years’, no Evolutionist can claim to have witnessed its processes. Instead they must make assumptions, and interpret evidence based upon their pre-supposed world view.
Evidence is not the same as CONCLUSIVE proof. This is because evidence can be interpreted and misinterpreted. How we interpret evidence is often based upon our world view.
It is quite interesting how secular scientists and creation scientists examine the same evidence, but due to a different world view (Evolution across millions of years vs Intelligent Design and a younger Universe), they reach different conclusions. I cover evidence for a young Universe in Writing #2 More Evidence.
- Nowadays, when so many people reject God, it should not come as a surprise so many scientists try to support Evolution. After all, when we reject Intelligent Design, how else can we explain life on Earth?
- And yet, back in the days of Sir Isaac Newton, most of the leading scientists supported the Torah and Bible accounts.
- It was their belief in an intelligent designer, that led them to reason this creation could be measured and explained using science, maths, and logical reasoning. As a result, they set about making experiments based upon calculable predictions.
———- ———- ———-
True Science is about performing experiments that can be witnessed, tested, and repeated. Evolution and Big Bang theories fail all 3 of these requirements. Please do not confuse theoretical science with real science.
- Combining 2 Hydrogen atoms with 1 Oxygen atom to make water is real science. We can witness this, test it, and repeat it to get the same results.
- Claiming ‘dead chemicals’ can ‘come alive’ to kick start Evolution, when we have never witnessed or repeated this is not science.
- Even attempts to create self-producing artificial cells still require the architecture of a living cell to kick start the process. Plus, the very fact it requires a scientist shows it requires intelligent design!
- Also, computer models that try to simulate The Big Bang are flawed, because we don’t even understand all the laws of the Universe. Therefore, the parameters that are applied to current computer models are insufficient to guarantee accuracy.
———- ———- ———-
Did you know we have evidence dinosaurs and dragons lived alongside humans? Plus, we have found Triceratops collagen that was still elastic!
Did you know human giants were regularly being unearthed and publicly recorded in late 1800’s and early 1900’s newspapers? Some of these findings turned out to be fakes, but many of them were legitimate. Please see Writing #2 More Evidence as it covers a whole range of evidence, including videos.
———- ———- ———-
Page 6 of 24 Examples of Bible claims that turned out to be true (This page is equal to about one A4 page long)
While the Bible is not a science or astronomy book, when it touches on these topics, it gets them correct. And this is many hundreds of years before our technology was advanced enough to confirm what it recorded.
Here are a few examples regarding astronomy:
- Job, chapter 26, verse 7: He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the Earth upon nothing.
Today our pictures confirm that the Earth floats in Space. And yet many cultures of the time thought very differently. Hindus for example believed the Earth rested on the back of elephants that stood on the back of a turtle.
- Job, chapter 38, verse 31: Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion.
Only recently have we been able to use powerful telescopes to see that the Pleiades are gradually getting closer together, and that Orion’s Belt is gradually moving apart. These are not detectable without such technology.
———- ———- ———-
Thankfully, today there are still many respected scientists who publicly support Intelligent Design. But sadly, the way modern funding is offered, their opinions are often far less promoted or endorsed.
What is commonly taught in mainstream education is not only biased, but Big Bang and Evolution have NEVER been CONCLUSIVELY proven. So the question must be asked, why do so many modern textbooks and television documentaries claim these theories to be fact?
Again, I cover more about the problems with Big Bang, Evolution, claimed missing links etc. in Writing #2 More Evidence.
For now, I want to explain about salvation, and why Jesus Christ is key.

EXPLANATIONS and GUIDANCE SECTION
———- ———- ———- ———- ———- ———-
Page 7 of 24 An overview of Christianity (This page is equal to about 1 and ½ A4 pages long)
Christianity is not all about faith; credible evidence plays a huge part!!!
This website brings together a large amount of evidence into one place.
This evidence should give us logical reasons to believe. From this solid foundation, trust to try to test out God’s guidance can then take over.
Through our personal experience of following the Bible’s guidance, this is how we grow to understand, as it is our experiences that help educate us. See Page 8 for a highlight of the guidance.
It is similar to eating healthily – reading a book about healthy food is not going to give us the same personal understanding as actually following a healthy diet for several months. This is what I mean by our experiences help educate us.
Please do not underestimate the value of trying to follow what the Bible encourages – drawing NOTICEABLY closer to God truly does occur.
In the book of James, chapter 4, verse 8 it says:
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Many of us know we are double-minded when we claim to value peace, love, and respect, and yet we enjoy occasional non-peaceful entertainment, have lustful moments, are indifferent when it comes to casual swearing etc.
God is simply being honest with our current moral state, and tries to encourage us to see the value in purity. It can take a while for us to accept, but when we truly understand this, we cannot fault God’s logic.
———- ———- ———-
We don’t need to read the whole Bible in order to follow the guidance, but when we study the Bible we gain far greater understanding.
God knows we won’t be perfect; He knows we all stumble with corrupt desires, but He does ask us to try to do better, and He generously rewards those who put in more obedient efforts.
We all have the freewill choice to decide how closely we follow His guidance. This is why among Christians, there are people with varying levels of faith, commitment, and obedience.
Those who are more committed will receive more blessings, and it is often the case that when we get a taste of these blessings, this motivates us to be more obedient.
Those who do less can still be confident of salvation, but we are reminded:
In the book of 2 Corinthians, chapter 13, verse 5:
- Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith
- In the book of Matthew, chapter 7, verse 21-23:
Not everyone that saith to me Lord, Lord will enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
- In the book of 1 John, chapter 4, verse 1:
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Growing in faith is a journey, and this journey is accelerated when we follow the guidance more closely. So, if you doubt Jesus is Lord, or if you don’t feel that close to God, don’t panic, just follow what the Bible encourages. God can work with you if you allow Him.
The guidance is reliable, and it has the power to transform lives. Again, it starts with the first step of repenting of our personal sins to God. Overtime, we grow to be more obedient and grow with more understanding.
Drawing NOTICEABLY closer to God can truly occur, simply try following the guidance on Page 8.
Even extreme criminals can be reformed – when their heart is willing. This is the mercy our creator offers. Please bear in mind that none of us know all the paths (and negative influences) that have led someone to becoming corrupt; but we can confirm that we ourselves are corrupt in some ways. So let us not judge others, but rather encourage people to salvation, and act as good moral examples.
Before any of us were saved through Christ, we were all enemies of God due to our rebelliousness against His guidance. Even as a fairly loyal Christian I still have moments of being lightly rebellious, hence why I often pray to God, repenting of my recent short-comings.
The point is, none of us are perfect. We all require some wise guidance and encouragement – of course some people require this far more than others, but provided we / they are willing to improve, God can work wonders with us, and in doing so provide many more testimonies of the true power of loyal Christianity.
Page 8 of 24 A summary of the encouraged Bible guidance (This page is equal to about two A4 pages long)
While people with lower levels of faith and understanding can receive salvation, it is actually very straight forward to draw NOTICEABLY closer to God – so that we grow to have much higher levels of faith and understanding.
To achieve these higher levels, the encouraged Bible guidance can be highlighted as follows:
- Repent of our sins to God – praying is an accepted method.
- Be willing to trust in the atonement provided by Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach is His Hebrew title).
- Try to resist corruptions, and try to overcome immoral habits.
- Try to pray often. Offer thanks, and when needs be offer apologies. Plus, ask for guidance, support, and mercy. Ask these for others too. (Overtime we get better at understanding what to pray for.)
- Apply respectful Christian principles such as unbiased respect; compassion; humbleness; be hard-working; honest; peaceable; respect authorities such as managers, police, governments etc. even if they are not Christian – provided they do not force us to compromise Christian standards. And again, try not to go around judging other people. But we can still respectfully encourage people, and advise them of God’s moral standards.
- Study various parts of the Bible to gain knowledge:
- I recommend reading the Bible cover to cover at least once. This way we get to understand the context better, which helps the more extreme parts make far more sense
-
- You will be surprised how much we take in even when we don’t consciously realise. God can then remind us of appropriate parts far easier, once the Bible knowledge is in our mind. But God won’t suddenly download the Bible to our mind, so we must put in some effort so that He has more to work with / so we can be guided more effectively.
- Alternatively, select one book of the Bible at a time and read it in its entirety. Again, this helps us understand the context better. A lot of the books are a bit hard to read / hard to understand at first, but we do grow to process the information / unlock more clear understandings. This is an example of how our effort is rewarded so keep trying / studying.
- Picking random verses works well when we have read a lot of the Bible. But just picking random verses without doing more in depth reading can be misleading if we have not understood the background context.
This is why I REALLY ENCOURAGE reading the Bible at least once.
- If you are unsure which Bible to read, try the New International Version Bible or the New King James Version Bible. Other good Bibles are available, but do some research as some English translations are less reliable than others. (Bear in mind the original Bible languages were Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek).
- It is also worth learning what the Bible teaches about true wisdom; the book of Proverbs is a good starting point. God encourages us to seek wisdom as this is the foundation upon how we use our intelligence.
- Wisdom is the way we use our intelligence and this is directly linked to our moral values. The higher our moral values, the more able we are to understand, process, and consistently display true wisdom. Many people are very intelligent, but they lack true wisdom. As a result they make illogical decisions that can have damaging knock-on effects.
———- ———- ———-
Please do not underestimate the value of each of these points. Our efforts are truly rewarded with enlightenment and many other blessings. But like many things in life, it is only by putting in personal effort that such rewards are realised.
My advice is this: be motivated, and try to stay focussed on God in all that we do in life. Make Christianity a lifestyle habit (such as daily prayers and regularly reading parts of the Bible), this way our progression will be both natural and consistent. Overtime we will grow to learn the value of such habits.
Christian lifestyle habits help us to focus on God, so that we are less likely to wander away from God’s guidance. They are so helpful because they lead us onto more fruitful, and safer / less stressful paths.
They also help us grow in true wisdom, and help us gain far more satisfaction, appreciation and fulfilment from the smaller things in life – this level of appreciation is where true wealth is realised, and is a key way to overcoming negatives such as depression, feeling lost, feeling empty or bored.
Many financially wealthy people lack such depths of appreciation to life, which shows that material wealth is not the key to happiness. When we apply the God factor to our lives, this is what truly makes the difference.
———- ———- ———-
Also, this current world system offers many physical temptations that can encourage us to compromise our moral standards, so be mindful. A lot of these temptations are genuinely tempting for a reason – for example: lust can be fun (but it can lead to the dehumanisation of people). Excessive wealth can make people unworthily strong / influential (which can lead to abuse and disrespects of those less powerful).
What often occurs when people partake of corrupt temptations, is the level of effort people go to, to protect their desires. This can often breed a level of addiction, and can then lead on to lies, and even more aggressive levels of disrespect.
True lasting peace comes from inner-peace; our conscience is the key to this. God designed our conscience to favour purity over corruption, this is why the stable human condition leans towards goodness and respect rather than supporting corruption and evil. Any attempts to justify a corruption is simply a display of a lack of true wisdom; God is the source of true wisdom; the Bible book of Proverbs is a good guide.
This is why we are called to resist certain temptations. Many of these can seem like harmless fun and are rather enticing, but they are also examples of having a short-term attitude. God’s rewards for overcoming such weaknesses are worthwhile for a far greater reason. We each have freewill, so at the end of the day we each have a choice, but our choices also have consequences, including some that are less obvious.
Remember, this life is not all there is. Missing out on some things in this life is not to be taken too seriously, because we are promised that our eternal reward will be of far more significant compensation. When we experience and understand the blessings we receive from God in this life, this enables us to have genuine cause for hope for the next life, which will be eternal.
Page 9 of 24 How very simple it is to receive true salvation (This page is equal to about 1 and ¼ A4 pages long)
Sadly the message of Christianity gets overcomplicated nowadays which puts many people off. Plus, just the idea of any religion often puts a lot of people off. So, let me explain salvation this way:
Salvation through Jesus Christ is very simple.
- We don’t need to read the whole Bible – but studying the Bible will help us grow in knowledge, and this helps us gain understanding.
- We don’t need to go to church meetings – but doing so gives us more opportunities to meet people who genuinely understand Christianity.
- We don’t need to support ‘good causes’ – but doing so enables God to bless us more, plus we will often gain some level of satisfaction.
- We don’t need to be super-religious – but being more obedient to God, and more diligent with our studies, will help us grow in faith.
All that is required of us is that we repent of our personal corruptions and we are willing to trust in the atonement provided by Jesus Christ.
To repent means we apologise to God for our moments of being corrupt, and try to avoid further corruptions. Don’t panic, we don’t need to be perfect, but we are encouraged to try to be morally better.
Faith does take time to grow, so please be willing to put in some effort. Start by praying to God to ask for His mercy, then try applying the Bible guidance (found on Page 8).
How much effort we put in is largely down to us. The more we try, the more we will grow in confident understanding; plus the more blessings we receive – these blessings truly do occur.
Please bear in mind if we apologise for certain sins, and then willfully go back to do them over and over again, this shows our repentance is not so sincere – which in some cases may affect our salvation.
Not all sins are so damaging, (for example watching a violent film is not the same as committing theft) but a sign of genuine transformation is our willingness to try to overcome numerous corruptions.
Of course naturally, it often takes time to overcome certain corrupt habits, (with me, regular casual swearing was one example) but as long as we keep trying, this displays we are being genuinely sincere.
We don’t need to be perfect, but we are called to be willing to improve.
———- ———- ———-
Also, while we cannot earn our salvation, our generosity to those in need will still display our trajectory of improvement. The closer we draw to God, the more loving / caring we become. God is very willing to bless our compassionate works, hence why we are encouraged to do these.
But as the book of Matthew, chapter 6, verses 1-6 encourages: try to do these in secret, don’t go trying to seek attention / seek praise from people. Basically, we are encouraged to be humble-givers, not show-offs.
Page 10 of 24 Clearing up some confusions regarding salvation (This page is equal to about 1 and ⅓ A4 pages long)
We cannot earn our salvation – after all, exactly how many good deeds should be the cut off point? Plus, how would we ever know how many more good deeds we needed to accomplish to be assured of our salvation?
And what about those who are shy, demotivated, stressed out, ill, in prison etc. how could such people be expected to do enough good deeds?
No religion offers a clear answer on how many good deeds we need to do, which should tell you that none of them truly know.
In the book of Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 8 it says:
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
———- ———- ———-
Also, the idea of ‘just be a good person and we will see heaven’ quickly falls apart when we focus on what is truth – who is God?
The Bible teaches that eternal life is an inheritance from our Father / Creator. If we reject our creator, why should we be entitled to any inheritance from him?
And if we try to examine how good any of us are, simply review any lies we have told, moments of unprovoked anger (even in our thoughts), number of times we have used blasphemy (OMG is a form of blasphemy that is very common nowadays), or any other moments of disrespect.
Just because we are not as bad as some members of society, when we compare ourselves to a creator who never sins, we still fall very short of God’s standards. This is what salvation is about – it is a path to purification whereby we will be made pure enough to be in communion with God for eternity.
None of us can purify ourselves sufficiently to reach God’s holy standards by our own efforts. This is why Christ’s atonement becomes so important. See the bottom half of Page 13 ( in Writing #1 Part Two) about how our corrupt bodies hinder us, and why we require a new purified body fit for eternity.
———- ———- ———-
Ancient Judaism and Christianity never taught we are saved by good deeds. Instead, it was always about how God reconciles corrupt humans to Himself by purifying us through the process of atonement.
- This is why Noah, Abraham and many other key figures in the Bible offered atonement sacrifices. These were a fore-shadow of the ultimate atonement Christ would provide.
- This is why Christ was prophesied from the very first word of the Hebrew Torah. Christ’s atonement was designed to be the perfect atonement, sufficient to satisfy God’s law regarding salvation.
- Please examine the Hebrew word ‘Berisheet’ for a clear example of this prophesied atonement. Simply watch this 15 minute video. (Please note that the actual date of fulfilment is not known by any human, so don’t be too drawn on the claim made at the end of the video):
Page 11 of 24 Summary regarding salvation (This page is equal to about one A4 page long)
Christianity teaches we are saved by accepting God’s offer of salvation.
We either accept it, or reject it. For some people it takes years for them to accept it, for others they are willing to trust far more quickly. Gaining knowledge helps us to understand, so be prepared to do some studying. I hope this website makes things about Christianity a bit easier to process.
———- ———- ———-
It is important to point out that many people have been reached through dreams. Plus, death bed conversions do happen, so try not to worry about people who we are uncertain whether they placed their trust in Christ. Instead, focus on your salvation. Of course not everyone will be saved, but the Bible teaches that God still has a plan for everyone.
No human can force another human to believe Jesus Christ is Lord, all we can do is share credible evidence and provide reasonable explanations.
These then become the stepping stones that help motivate doubters to test out God’s guidance, which when followed, leads on to confident faith.
When wise guidance is followed, the results will speak for itself. Try to follow God’s guidance closely for several months, I hope you will be pleasantly impressed. Of course, trying so for longer is more effective, and brings about many moments of genuine appreciation and enlightenment.
Overtime (by regularly following God’s guidance), our mind becomes better at processing Bible knowledge and also our daily experiences. This is how we gain further enlightenment and understanding, which in turn increases our confidence.
Consider growing in faith as progressing through levels. Some parts require our repeated effort before we reach the next stage of clarity.
God won’t live our lives for us, this is why our efforts are still required, but this is also why He is able to reward us for our respectful efforts. Those who put in more effort will receive more blessings. But those who do less can still be confident of salvation.

This runs 24 hours a day, and is by Pastor John MacArthur. He goes through the New Testament verse by verse using really helpful historical details.
He comes across rather direct at times, but this is because he recognises how a mature Christian should view our level of respect and loyalty to God. It took me a bit of getting used to, but I feel he is on point a lot of the time.
