THE GODHEAD, THE KNOWLEDGE, AND MAN

I did this work some time ago. The purpose was to explain our relationship with God and our reason for existence. I did not want to place any commentary to this work, to let the Bible speak for its self. So I used the Amplified Version Bible, and I jumped from Scripture to Scripture, not in original sequence to tell the story of our purpose. Therefore, it will read like a normal book. When you read this, it will give you the greatest story ever told. So read it as such. A love letter from God.

I teach many Bible studies and I often discuss the Bible, Religion and related subjects to those saved and unsaved, and in this, there are certain questions that keep coming up. Therefore, because of this, I tried to include those scriptures that I often use.

I must warn you though, I am not a denominational student. I believe solely on the Bible, (Gods Word) and not on denominational doctrine, (Mans word)

Again, there is no commentary, at the risk of being blamed for plagiarism; there is a purpose behind this. This is different (unique) because I used only the words of the Bible, and arranged them in a way to tell a story differently then most have heard before. I hope that because of the different way this is arranged, and if you read it like a normal storybook the scriptures may make more sense to you and that you may grow in the Lord as a result. Enjoy.

1 Cor 2:2 For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.

1 John 2:1 MY LITTLE children, I write you these things so that you may not violate God's law {and} sin. But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father-[it is] Jesus Christ [the all] righteous [upright, just, Who conforms to the Father's will in every purpose, thought, and action].

1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for [the sins of] the whole world.

1 John 2:3 And this is how we may discern [daily, by experience] that we are coming to know Him [to perceive,
