"intro for dummies"

"a fool for Jesus or a fool for man?"
This is the word of God, the scriptures speaking: Jesus said to his Dad in heaven in regards to the simple truths of the gospel, "thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes."
What has God hid from the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes? You need to know, this is the bottom line! If you want to be truly wise, in the eyes of God that iz and not in the eyes of man (which is more important by the way?) then you need to really take heed to what Jesus was really saying. You will not get this by going to Bible college, nor by going to seminary, nor by getting a degree in theology or by any type of diploma in anything! In fact it has got really nothing to do with education or training in any sense of the word you would've' been accustomed to.
In a line ... for God to speak directly to babes and the base of this world is the good news of the kingdom of heaven (the gospel) for dummies, bypassing the smart, clever and lofty. It is aimed at the humble sinner while excluding the righteous do-gooder. In the wisdom of God it is for those who come before God childlike and empty, irrespective of the world's implications or consequences. In contrast, the overly smart and froward will miss out with dire repercussion. Here's what the word of God also says:
"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise."
This webpage in a nutshell is only an online "lighthouse" and hopefully a valuable navigation aid at the same time. It is not
a destination, however. The new Jerusalem (the promised land) in heaven is! If you make
it across the river with or without the aid of these pages, then this is all that
matters ... "welcome to the kingdom my friend!"The bottom line is there is no hope, no salvation, and no true purpose outside of Jesus. He came as God in the flesh and the light of the world, and is the only way outta here and back to God. Turn now before it is too late (that will take guts and admit YOU were wrong after all)! Better to cry now and laugh later, than laugh now and cry later! Just the same ... better to be a fool now and wise later, than wise now and a fool later. Hope to see you in the eternal city, beyond Today!
