About

When someone is reading a professional literary work, they are experiencing the end result of a healthy volume of prepared effort. In the formal writing process, brainstorming ideas is normally considered a good first step. A logical second step is to bring those ideas together into some kind of outline. Third, the writer would rearrange the thoughts into a sensible sequence of discussion, and then begin producing a rough draft. Then they review it and/or have an editor go over it. After this would come a 2nd draft through however many drafts they find necessary before submitting that completed masterpiece we call “the final draft.”

Now each of these steps is subject to scrutiny and amendment depending on the school of thought, field of expertise, and a number of other variables. However in each format there is always a final draft and it is expected to be the best representation of an individual’s or group’s abilities and qualifications. The quality of the final draft is always considered to be a direct reflection & culmination of intellect, experience, respect, diligence, and general professionalism.

The Scriptures are the finest example of a final draft that any person could possess. While it is understandably unknown how much effort the writers of the 66 books of our Bible put into their work, it could be safely assumed that they most certainly did not simply scribble some God-breathed words onto a scroll and move on. They most likely spent a considerable amount of time preparing them, refining them, making them suitable for the receiving audience; being a reflection of the writer’s lifetime of knowledge and the reader’s lifetime of historical, cultural, literary, and theological understanding.

The Scriptures have proven to stand the test of time for the last 3,500 years; having gone up against 3½ millenia of critical geniuses who have all consistently failed to disprove a single word of the 780,000 word collection (KJV). Somewhere greater than 42 writers (most of whom never knew one other) over this expanse of time each contributed to a work that has been repeatedly proven to be irrefutably true, consistent, and wise. It has been considered by secular scholars throughout history as the single greatest literary work ever produced.

The Scriptures are presented to us today, as they have been throughout their existence, as God’s instruction to all of us to know sufficiently all that is needed for salvation. It is His final draft for living in this world and it is a work of perfection becoming of an immutably inerrant, just, and tirelessly loving, kind, & patient God.

The Scriptures are our first and final source of authority on all matters of morality, justice, righteousness, temperance, and knowledge as God Himself is the spiritual manifestation of these things and the measure by which we know all common & complex rights and wrongs.

Scripture is our guide. And knowing it is to know God. For that purpose I present all of the content on this website to the public reader and hold back no truth of which I’m aware. While I consider everything here to be the final draft of my understanding, I am a flawed being who grows, matures, learns, and changes as God’s revelation makes itself known to me.

I present this work in humility and temperance and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide each letter toward the Truth of the meaning of His inspired Word. If any part is incorrect, I would desire to correct it rather than lean on my own understanding and selfish pride.
