Will I ever find out the TRUTH about me, you, God, everything? No, and I know I won't, but I need to keep attempting the impossible.
But, I have decided to follow Jesus and he commands us to tell others about him. I have to tell others because I'm filled to exploding with knowledge of Jesus, Church, philosophy, psychology, Eastern Religion, mental illness and lot's of theories, which I don't trust. There could be a benefit in it for you, if you accept Jesus or even if you realize Christians don't hate people. We can't even judge if your final destination will be Heaven or Hell, because that's God's job. You might repent at the last minutes of your life.
Is salvation easy to understand? Not for me. Do your best. If you want to succeed on earth you give up time, energy, & laziness. The spiritual life is no different.
But who am I? I have been a seeker and have gone done many paths. I started out Catholic, then Seventh Day Adventist, Agnostic, New Age (I even had a Guru), then back to the Roman Catholic Church. I have experience Eastern psychology for about eleven years, Western psychology for about four years, not including my Bachelors in Psychology & Philosophy/Religion.
Unfortunately I'm not a scholar, so go & study any topic that I open up to you, on your own, or take a class, go on the Internet, join a church, etc. This is about TRUTH, not dogma, not exaggeration, and not about trying to trick people into believing my Truth. Christianity is about VOLUNTARY submission to God and the Universal Christian Churches teachings about the Trinity of One God. I mean I don't know everything about philosophy, religion, psychology, you, men, women, or children. I can only tell you what I believe today, for tomorrow never knows which path I or you will take. Every since I became "born again" watching a Billy Graham Crusade in 1972, I've felt that I should become a preacher. It hasn't worked out that way, but this is my chance to tell you about Jesus. When you read the Bible every day, listen to religious radio, and other media, like me you need to tell someone about it. You can't keep going to church every week and keeping all this sacred information (set-apart from every-day life) to yourself. This is my outlet. I also want to tell you about my first hand spiritual discoveries and my psychological journey with the "confusion disease". If I can lead one person to Jesus, discourage one suicide or un-confused one soul then I will rest in peace.

I believe that Jesus Christ is a historical figure, that the Bible tells us he is fully God & fully Man. Anyone can come to him for salvation. He hates no one and loves everyone. He asks you to think about him and try him out. Not everyone wants him and there are exceptions for who will be saved, therefore I can't judge your final state of salvation when you die.
I can help you to get started on the road to Christianity, but then I will tell you about some Internet Links and suggest a Church for you and then I can only help you as a lesser supplement to the Experts.
Good Luck and enjoy God in this life.

RULES
Email me, but don't expect an answer, at: jesmessi001@yahoo.com
I usually check my web-sites every two weeks.
I accept no hostile, demeaning or bullying emails. If you think something I say is evil, hateful or inciting violence, calm down and find examples that actually make sense to someone outside of your fan club. It's harder than you think.
If I upset someone, it was not my intention, I will apologize and make corrections in my text, if it was against my beliefs. Remember we can agree to disagree with maturity and reason.
If you are murderously or suicidally angry call the emergency number and get help for yourself. Say to yourself,
"Tomorrow, I will feel calm and happy. What if I die tomorrow, would I really care about someone else' opinions, especially someone who is not an expert and just trying to express his feelings & insights?"
HATE SPEECH
If you believe you have a right to your opinion I expect you to believe that I have all the same rights you have.
I ask you to use fair logic and arguments that apply to you in the same way they apply to me. For instance, "You're a fascist, because you criticize people..."
So you're also a fascist for criticizing me.
"Those who disagree with me, my cause or my organization are guilty of hate speech and should be jailed."
Responce: Since you disagree with me you're also guilty of "hate speech" and should also be jailed.
"I don't know how to answer you so, you're a terrible person and lazy and evil"
That's called an "ad hominem" attack or attacking a person instead of his/her idea. It is childish, cruel and it reveals you haven't done your homework.
If you think its terrible to mock others and yet you mock others with the excuse,
"Yes, I was cruel but they deserved it."
Then you are an ideologue or you are not making yourself accountable to the morals you profess. You may be a hypocrite, but we all are sometimes and we can & do grow into just people.
If you can't communicate with someone effectively you will just make matters worse. So I try to salt your speech with love.
I HAVE A CHARITABLE, KIND LOVE FOR YOU
"I love to tell you that God LOVES YOU and HE wants you love and obedience. He doesn't judge you, He says, "Come as you are, today".
After death, we will all be judged & it will be too late.
Good luck in your spiritual search!!
