Welcome!!!

I would like to welcome everyone to my blog! I find it appropriate that the blog should start off with an introduction. This introduction will only be an introduction to the blog-though it is a blog it is not the b log itself, and only points to the beginning of the blog. I know one might say that an introduction is a beginning-and I would agree with them in a sense-but it is not the beginning because it only points to it. We find in the scriptures that the introduction to God’s self-revelation starts with “In the beginning God…” God is the beginning, and then everything followed. Even the introduction started years after the beginning! And likewise my blog will be fashioned as such.

                Now my blog is to fulfill the purpose of my academic ventilation. I wish to address both theological and philosophical thoughts. These thoughts are strictly my views and are not the views of my denomination or church fellowship-including my pastor.  I will clarify also that I can change my position on some views because I am still a student and I am not an expert, but I do hold on to the truths that are held in the scriptures-thus making my blog die the death of a thousand qualifications!

                Thinking back to the words of the French philosopher Rene Descartes “Cogito ergo sum” “I think therefore I am” I decided to start the blog. I find it astounding that such a brilliant philosopher would make a statement like that completely ignoring Aristotelian logic. One cannot deduce more than one is given-Descartes could only deduce that “I think therefore thinking exist.” Yet he could never separate his existence with his thoughts. I believe the wise king Solomon was accurate when he penned the words “as he thinketh in his heart so is he.”  Jesus’ trailblazer John the Baptist put it as “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

The purpose of my writing is to express my Christian faith. An old Indian proverb says that “whatever you are overflowing with will spill over when you are bumped.” And I wish to spill over my faith into the blogging world-which consistently bumps the world of faith. I want to express my thoughts because of what kings, philosophers, wild-men, pantheist, and God himself expressed; that man has thoughts and these thoughts are expressed out because it reflects his inner self. We our individuals, not just material as the secularist claim, what makes us different is what we embody our soul. CS Lewis said that “you do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” I wish to bear my soul because it expresses my life. As St. Paul wrote “for me to live is Christ”, and I want to give Christ to whoever will listen. As I had said earlier this is only an introduction my views are not new, or the truths that are expressed, but they are eternal. Jesus said that “the truth shall make you free”, he also said that He is the truth.

I pray that you enjoy my blog, and even though I hate criticism; I would appreciate it-it would allow me to review my ideas, and change them if I must. Enjoy!!!
