Thirty-five years ago, Jesus Christ gave me my cross to bear for Him. This burden has remained with me since then. It relates to the Apostle Paul’s Gospel and of most Christians being unaware of it.
The burden that Jesus Christ gave me was to try to try to help Him SAVE His ‘sheep‘ in the churches (John 10:27). These are those who have departed from the ‘Narrow Way‘ (Isaiah 53:6), which leads to eternal life with Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:13-14) by preferring to believe one of the many false gospel messages (2 Corinthians 11:4; Philippians 1:15-17).
The purpose of this website
This website is established to reach out to “…spiritually minded“, truly “born-again” Christians (Romans 8:6; John 3:8). My hope is to ascertain from them what their views are of my theology, and to encourage some discussion.
This website primarily promotes the Apostle Paul’s Gospel that Jesus Christ gave to Paul through “revelation” (meaning, Jesus Christ to Paul via spiritual means):
"But I certify you, brethren, that THE GOSPEL WHICH WAS PREACHED OF ME is not after [the beliefs of any] man. 12 For I neither received it of [any] man, neither was I taught it [of any man], but [I received it] by the [personal] REVELATION [given to me] of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1:11-12)
"As also in all his [Paul's] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are SOME THINGS HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are UNLEARNED [in the scriptures] and unstable wrest[le], AS THEY DO ALSO THE OTHER SCRIPTURES, UNTO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION."
(2 Peter 3:16)
It is being OBEDIENT towards Paul’s ‘gospel’ (Romans 10:16) that enables Christians to “…walk in the Spirit” (Romans 8:1). This is a fundamental requirement by God for entry into His kingdom.
"God is a Spirit: and they [i.e. any Christian] that worship him MUST WORSHIP HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH." (John 4:24)
"Because THE CARNAL [or 'religious-based] MIND IS ENMITY [or is an ENEMY] AGAINST GOD: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can [it] be." (Romans 8:7)
Therefore, this outreach is especially focused towards spiritually-minded Christians (Romans 8:6). Such Christians should have a desire to discover and appreciate what the various “mysteries of the kingdom” are. In this, Jesus Christ said such Christians should KNOW and UNDERSTAND the “mysteries of the kingdom” in Matthew 13:10-11:
"And he [Jesus] said, UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in parables; that SEEING THEY MIGHT NOT SEE, and HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND." (Luke 8:10)
The spiritual purpose of the ‘Gospel of Jesus Christ’
To indicate what the Gospel of Jesus Christ represents, the image below portrays an unbeliever hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ being preached on the steps leading up to the Kingdom of Heaven.
This man then responds to the Gospel invitation by accepting Jesus Christ as his Saviour (Romans 10:9-10). As he progresses through the various stages of “…seeking God while He may be found” (Isaiah 55:6), he is later seen knocking on Heaven’s door to be allowed entry (Revelation 4:1).
God the Father then enables His new child (2 Corinthians 6:18) to experience the New Birth (John 3:8). This is where he (or she) receives a New Heart and a New Spirit (Ezekiel 36:26).
This spiritual change in God’s child (1 John 5:1) allows this new ‘baby Christian‘ to enter the spiritual world of God’s kingdom here on the Earth. This is where he (or she) is shown a scene within God’s kingdom that corresponds to John 3:3.
Having arrived in God’s kingdom, the Christian is expected to spiritually GROW . This occurs throughout the Eight Stages of Spiritual Maturity as shown in the image below.
God’s new child must commence RUNNING the Race that He has established for every Christian to RUN (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Christians MUST LOVE one another
Jesus said that LOVING ONE OTHER is another VITAL REQUIREMENT to be evident amongst true Christians. Jesus said that such love between brethren is an essential sign of their commitment to Christ:
This is because “God is LOVE” and so should His children be demonstrating God’s LOVE while here on the Earth:
"A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER; as I have loved you, THAT YE ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, IF YE HAVE LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER." (John 13:34-35)
"HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD [in any personal sense]; for GOD IS LOVE." (1 John 4:8)

The 22-minute video that follows provides a deeper understanding about The Apostle Paul’s Gospel that every Christian needs to consider — IF they value their Salvation.
If you feel encouraged by what has ben presented here, I suggest you watch my video (below) and read my article titled, The Apostle Paul’s Gospel Explained.
I recently released my latest book titled God’s Great Plan for Mankind – REVEALED! seen right.
This book highlights that God’s Plan for the redemption of mankind into His kingdom commenced BEFORE the foundation of the world began (Ephesians 1:4). It then presents a scriptural case to claim that God first placed everyone born on this Earth on the Original Earth. His purpose was to ASSESS each individual’s attitude towards God’s commands during their lifetime on the Original Earth. From this understanding of each individual’s lusts and desires, He assigned their role in this life.
God’s plan for perfecting His saints (1 Corinthians 6:2) is to prepare them them for entry into the New Heaven and the New Earth as perfected saints (Matthew 5:48) . This process of perfecting God’s people continues throughout the Millennium (2 Corinthians 13:9).
