Expertise

I can answer questions concerning Christian doctrine as well as other kinds of questions relating to religion.

Experience in the area

My education puts me second to none in this area and I have had over forty years experience in the area of teaching Christian theology, doctrine, apologetics, hermeneutics, history, and philosophy. Publications: Among the things that I have written is a summary of the entire Bible that is intended to help people put it all together and quickly understand exactly what the writers of the Bible intended for everyone to understand. By reading it and then reading the Bible, the correct understanding should be quite clear and a sincere student will recognize that they have received an invaluable aid to knowing how to correctly interpret the Bible so that they can know, with certainty, that they are understanding it correctly. At the same time, they will be able to recognize the vast number of false doctirnes that are being called Christian doctrines but are only the teachings of men and have no more authority than any oridinary man can give them.

What do you like about this subject?

My studies in religion have given me insight into human nature that have revealed the answers to how humans arrive at their beliefs and why we believe the things that we do. And, I have discovered the correct way to reliably know what the writers of the Bible intended for their readers to understand.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to help people learn to recognize the fact that when people disagree about what the Bible says, everyone cannot be right. Either you are right, or you are wrong. And, if you are wrong, you cannot be in compliance with what it's writers said was true.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

I think that the most interesting thing, and frightening too, is that the vast majority of what is called Christian doctrine does not come from any legitimate interpretation of the Bible but is nothing more than false and prejudiced opinions.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

In contradiciton to a popular notion that God created numerous religions to suit the different world cultures, the writers of the Bible claim that there is only one religion that is from God and that the Bible contains all of the revelations from God that anyone needs in order to be true to God. According to that, if it is not true, then they lied and cannot be trusted to be telling the truth abou
