What led me to the path of understanding the knowledge I have today about who God is and what this world is all about?
In my youth, I was lost in the drug world committing the crimes that went along with such a life. I was lost as anyone could be with a very low IQ and an inability to remember anything I’d read: then in 1980 I met God and over the next six years I had experiences and healings from God that lifted my IQ, increasing my ability to retain that which I read. God never gave up on me, to the point that I could no longer deny that God was. It was at that point that I married a girl named Cynthia, a veterinarian and true believer who walk with God. We were married and over the next two years I began to learn about church life.
Then something happened, setting at a red light, we were struck from behind. Luckily both my stepdaughters (though badly injured) survived. I went back to church and the people at church told me that God was the good and the bad, being the bad to lead me into the good. To me this was a horrifying thought.
Searching for why God would bring such Sadness into our lives, I had to find out who God was at heart. Did God really cause us such pain?
I was going to study who God was to find out if I even liked God. Over the next eight years I studied 8 to 12 hours a day 6 days a week trying to find out who God was at heart. At the end of that eight years, I apologized to God. God does use the bad to work for my good, but God is not the one who drove that car into us.
I learned that every time anyone who follows God has a burden, no matter how small, it is anguishing to God, (God mourns that burden) and every time a follower of God’s is lifted out of a burden, God rejoices. Never had a friend held that kind of emotion for me and that led to my in-depth study of God for the next 25 years.
Now I have around 40,000 hours of study into who God is, the Bible, history and science. I knew they had to all come together as one to make sense.
