In the Beginning

I have decided to publish this blog in a defense of a faith that seems to become less popular every day. I do not want to discuss my religion, because religion is not what we should really focus on. Rather, let us discuss what is belief, and why it is I have chosen to believe what I do.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ. This said, I am not merely a Christian by the stereotype. I do not always vote Republican, I do not thing I am perfect, and I believe that God has a plan for every person.

More importantly, I believe that we each have an innate desire to have a relationship with God Almighty. I believe that we were born into Sin (will discuss later), that we all have sinned, and these separate us from God.

However, God was not satisfied to be separated from His creation. So He came to live among us as Jesus Christ. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, was executed without having committed a crime, and then three days rose from the dead. By doing this, He paid for our sin, and made a way for us to have a living relationship with God.

Now you know what I believe, let's have some conversation....
