Up to its last book, the Bible is the story of how God prepared humanity to receive the gift of love. Looking at the world around us, it is clear that His effort has yet to come to full fruition.
Exiled on the island of Patmos at the end of his life, the Apostle John was granted a vision that showed how that effort would be concluded. John’s record of that vision is confusing and often frightening.
For more than a thousand years, human teachers have interpreted John’s Revelation as the story of how God brings humanity to obedience through terrible punishments. As a scientist and lover of humanity, that explanation was repulsive to me. But after studying the course of evolution from single-celled organisms to modern culture, I finally read the book myself, and realized that it is all one continuous story of God’s devotion to us, and of His incredibly patient determination that we should be reunited with Him.
Simply: God came down to Adam and Eve because only people, among all living creatures, are able to love the world as He does. That’s not easy. A billion years of evolution makes us act like animals. You know: fight, eat, sleep and make babies.
We got kicked out of Eden because we weren’t strong enough to manage those urges. Only Jesus, 5,000 years later, was strong enough to love even those that betrayed his devotion with death.
This site is dedicated to explaining why we should learn to love as Jesus taught. As revealed in John’s Revelation, the episodes below explain:
- the plan of Creation, and why people are important,
- why loving can hurt so much, and how to protect ourselves,
- what sin is, and how it destroys our souls, and
- how we can guide those we love to salvation.
The proof of all of this is right in the Bible, in words that have been misinterpreted for thousands of years.
We won’t find any easy answers. But for those with courage, we’ll bring purpose and hope to every relationship in our lives.
