What, why and who? Part 2

The words promised for those who are not Christians: I will not try to demonstrate to you that God exists because nobody can ever demonstrate (show beyond any doubt) the fact that He is real. Although what I will share is based on the Bible, you will be able to recognize the same principles in logic, nature, daily living and your own experience. I believe that the Bible is the most trusted tool that we can use to understand the reality but I also believe that Bible is not the only tool. The same God, which tells us about Himself through the Bible, is speaking about Himself through nature, history, daily living, logic and our own experience.

Because I want to be honest with you all the way: I believe that the Bible is not only the most trusted tool that we can use to understand reality but the judge of the other tools. In other words, the Bible has the ultimate authority. All this being said I want to emphasize the fact that, although these principles are based on the Bible, we can see them at work in the other aspects of the reality.
It will be a great help for us and useful for you if you will participate with identifying these principles in other sources than the Bible. So, you are more than welcome in our discussions!

A few more introductory words before we will start:


More than sharing with you, I would like so much to learn from you! The big picture is just … a big picture! It’s something that can hold so much more. It’s just a frame, a well organized library but without books: it needs to be filled (the imagery is not perfect). We need to learn together about the implications and applications of these principles in every aspect of reality. We need one another and, together, we need our dear Father!


All of us, Christians and non-Christians, are invited to take part in this journey! If our “eyes” will be open great things we will see and if our “hearts” will be open, great things we will experience! It will be a pleasure to have you with me on board and an honor to learn from you. I can hardly wait to read your comments and reactions being more than willing to integrate them in my daily life as long as they can be approved by the Bible!

What, why and who? Part 1

I would like to be open with you from the beginning: I'm an enthusiast Christian, one that finds in the Christianity the best source for development in all the aspects of life, one that finds in the Bible the most tastiest food for the mind and the soul, one that enjoys so much speaking with God, one that finds in doing good to others one of the best ways to honor and to be thankful to his Father. If you are not a Christian, please don’t let my enthusiasm, for something which is different from what you believe, keep you from reading. In the second post I have a few words especially for you which I think will be worth the time spent reading them.

But I was not always like this. And one of the reasons for this is that my way of seeing Christianity was so fuzzy, so blurred that I did not understand the basics. It took some years to come with some answers to the basics questions of life; and these years were not easy at all. But today I can say that I finally have a big picture of what the Christianity is all about. I’ve tested it again and again against the Bible, I’ve tested it again and again in my life and my family’s life, I’ve spoke with so many people about it. Those who took the challenge to test it were really helped! And this is one of the main reasons for writing these short posts. I know that, if you will give it a chance, it will help you so a lot! If you are already living it, I would be so pleased and helped if you will take some time and share your experience so that all of us can learn and grow.

What I have said before might sound like bragging, like I could use some more humbleness (and oh, how much I agree with you that I need more humbleness!). How can I say that, a simple human being as I am (without possessing anything extraordinary when is coming about mental or spiritual capacities or titles or experience in life or anything else) I have a big picture of such a complicated thing? You would be right if I came to you saying that I am the originator of these principles. But I cannot say that! What I am going to share with you does not belong to me in any way (maybe the way of expressing it does). God, our Father, is the originator; I’m just the one that studied it (hard and long study) from His Book. I have no merit in this and I will never have. I’m just the delivery guy! I’m just the one that tells you: I have found something great that made my life (and not only) so beautiful, so worthwhile living it, so great! Come and see!
