The Truth Project
Explores what Scripture and Christian theology reveal about God's nature, especially love, justice, mercy, wrath, goodness, and faithfulness.

"Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God...They can make little progress in the knowledge of God while...holding evil things true of Him.”
Before you open the scrolls you must have a preconceived conviction that God is good and only good. If you come upon a Scripture that is not worthy of representing the nature of God you MUST read it as an allegory and search to discover...
Father is absolutely Christlike. If you read a text about God that does not portray Him in a Christlike fashion and you take it literally you create an idol and commit a monstrous blasphemy.

I really love this question, because it opens up something way deeper than the version of the gospel a lot of us were taught. The one that feels more like a legal transaction than a story of love.Here’s where I’m at with it now. I don’t...

He disciplines to improve. No matter how severely He chastens, it is for our good, not harm. Divine chastening, even when it leads to acute suffering and loss, including death, is the pathway to life. For we read that God ‘kills and makes...
