Free will or fate?
Do we have free will, or are we fooling ourselves? Is what we think and do shaped by our minds? Or is everything we do directed by chemical processes in our brains? Is there a Creator who has planned in advance what we will do? Or are we tested when we experience problems? Is our free will a beautiful delusion? People who deny the existence of a Creator will seek another explanation for our thinking and actions. If you believe there is nothing but matter, then our actions must be driven by the chemical processes in our brains. Our brain responds to the stimuli presented to us and the demands…
Would the Creator listen to us?
If we were made by a Creator, would He pay attention to us? Would He listen when we are speaking aloud or in our minds to Him? In “The Search for Truth” on this website, you can learn that there is a Creator. You can also read more about His characteristics over there. One of His characteristics is love.

So how can we find out what is His true image? Or do all of the religions show a part of the Truth? The Blind Men and the…

The life of Jesus
Jesus Christ (1) was born in Israel about 2000 years ago. You can read all about this in the Bible, for example in the Gospel of Luke. Centuries before, the coming of a Savior was announced by a number of prophets. His birth Jesus came to earth. He was born to a mother just like any other human being. But there was one big difference between Him and everyone else. His mother Mary was not conceived by a man. God’s Holy Spirit conceived the child in her.

Can God have a Son?
On this website, we search for the truth. In our search, we review what the Bible tells us about it.

The first misunderstanding I want to clarify is that some people imagine that God would have had a physical affair with Mary. However, there was no sexual relationship or marriage between God and Mary. God’s Spirit made it happen for the virgin Mary to become pregnant. I…

They have based this denial on a verse in the Qur’an that is dificult to explain (Surat An-Nisa’ 4:157). In this post, I will present some key facts as an explanation of why it is impossible for Jesus Christ would have survived the crucifixion. Some people also claim that somebody else died on the cross. You can read more about why that is not the case in the post “Did someone else hang on the cross?“.
