My path to Truth as I see it and how it is expressed in the ancient Hebrew scriptures is an amazing and complex adventure of ups and downs ins and outs as well as anger, depression, exhileration and joy.  The path has absolutely not been an easy one, that is for sure.  But I would never be as thankful, grateful and peaceful as I now am if I had not walked that path as the way God has lead me.  All I can say is; "thank you Adonai, Elohim Ha'Shem, YOU are the True Way, the actual Truth and the very source of the Light of Love.  I would be dead and my body would be rotting in the dust if it wasn't for YOU!"

My path has taken me from Christian fundamentalism and a mere belief system built on a fraudulent foundation of fear and reward obfuscated under a veneer of "truth" so called,  to a dedicated and sincere search for the actual Truth Of God.  This path lead me entirely away from Christian fundamentism to what I call authentic spirituality found only in the Creator of the Universe.  Any other belief system is at best a dark reflection of the Creators path to the Light of Truth.

For some reason and one that I think of often, the Divine Being that English speakers call God has seen fit to give me a host of amazing spiritual experiences that have encouraged me through the years.  These experiences were designed to keep me on the true path and then to let me know in the dark times that He was guiding me all along, step by step to his true Light.  In my book "Unchained!" available in the book store on this site, I go into detail about my experiences.  They truly are amazing.

This site is NOT at all designed to convince or convict you of anything, that alone is God's job, not mine.  I am merely recounting to you what I have found.  You are free to accept or reject what I am going to teach you here.  You are a sovereign human being and God your loving Creator will direct you to His Light of Love as He sees fit, in His way and time.  Just trust Him to do just that.  There is nothing at all to fear from God.  It is man that you should fear.

I earned a BA degree in theology from the International Seminary in Plymouth, Florida in 1994.  I earned an MA in theology as well from the same seminary in 1997.  I then earned a DMin (doctorate) of pastoral theology from ATS Seminary in Camilla, Georgia in 2004.  However, it was NOT my indoctrinated theological understanding that lead me to Truth.  It was an honest and open heart based on trust in God to lead me as He saw fit.  My part was to dig deep into history, religion, philosophy and then to ascertain mans understanding of revealed religion and then to allow God to lead and convict me as to what truth actually was as He alone saw fit.  This was NOT an easy task or path, because I had to reject and unlearn the many errors of so-called doctrinal beliefs that I once accepted as true.  This was extremely difficult and the process took decades to unfold.  Praise God and bless His Holy Name.

Now, I am here and you are there reading this.  I ask just a few very simple things from you.

1.  Pray honestly and sincerely that you will maybe for the first time confess all of your faults and errors of the past and to set your own ego based guilt and fear based beliefs aside.  Release your pains and negativity from the past as well as your worries and fear for the future and allow God to be with you in the present, NOW.

2.  Ask God to lead and guide you as He sees fit and then trust Him to do that.  Be ready to abandon all man made error and to trust no man other than God Himself to convince and convict you of the real actual truth as found in His Light of selfless Love.

3.  Seek for Truth, dig deep, and question everything.  Don't accept anybody elses beliefs, including mine.  Ask for the experiential truth of God that can be sensed and felt and thus confirmed.  Compare everything that you are learning with the most powerful sacred texts ever written, the ancient Hebrew texts inspired by God himself to His true prophets.

4.  Be prepared to abandon mere beliefs that you once accepted as true.  Once you are convicted and convinced of God's actual real objective and very emotional Truth bound in the Light of the Law of His amazing Love, RECEIVE it, BE it and then SHARE it.

"Come, let us reason together, though your sins are as scarlet they shall be as white as snow."

"I Am your Redeemer, the Holy One of Isreal."

"Beside Me there was no god formed."

"I will not share My glory with another."

"Besides Me there is no other Saviour."

David said, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."  Many think that the "word" here is the Bible, but no Bible existed in David's time.  They only had the Torah at that time.  The Hebrew word translated here as "word," is "dabar."  Dabar is the same word used for God's actual voice when He spoke from the Shekinah glory above the Mercy Seat above the Ark of Covenant.

God's Word here is God's actual words spoken to YOU.  Listen close, you will "hear" it is a still small voice, saying:

"This is the Way, you walk in it."

Because of Love,

Paul
