Author’s Preface

The reality of God is perhaps the most important subject there is.

My purpose for this book is to delve into what the Bible teaches about God and clarify numerous truths and mysteries about God.

Some revelations may surprise, even shock, some readers. But hopefully you will be willing to “prove all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, DRB/KJV) and have “the love of the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10, NJB). Do not be deceived like the bulk of humanity is prophesied to be (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

This book will often cite both Protestant and Greco-Roman Catholic translations of the Bible to demonstrate the consistency of those translations on many of the Bible’s main points about God.

In addition to citing scripture, I will offer testimony from early writers and later scholars to back up the authenticity of those early beliefs. This includes primary, non-primary, conventional, and unconventional sources—which also tend to validate the continuity of those beliefs as well. And yes, I often come to conclusions that differ from the cited non-biblical authors. This book is part of a documented search for truth. Similar to the Apostle Paul, I realize that in the flesh we only “know in part” (1 Corinthians 13:9, DRB).

Regarding original Christianity, the Book of Acts reported that “everywhere, people speak against this sect” (Acts 28:22, EOB). Sadly, that often remains so in the 21st century.

Yet in the 1st century, those of Berea/Beroea “welcomed the word very readily; every day they studied the scriptures to check whether it was true” (Acts 17:11, NJB). They were willing to change when they saw the truth— despite it being talked against (Acts 28:22). Their scriptural example should still be followed in the 21st century.

This book is for readers that have a genuine love of the truth who are willing to be like the biblical Bereans that wanted to learn more of the truths of the mysteries of God.
