- God created this current universe. He grew us on this tiny blue marble. He needed to produce us because Lucifer planned to check out with a third of His hosts. The revolutionary battle raged. The revolutionaries were pushed out of heaven. Some replacements would be us. God chose the Jews. to start. He gave the Jews the Torah and some additional testament writings. After some time, God decided the Jews would keep His word for themselves. That was not God’s plan. He needed some of the Gentiles to get back to full staffing. The Gentiles were mainly an uninformed abomination. God sent His only begotten Son to spread His word to the Gentiles. They needed to be converted to Christianity. His Son would be the atonement gesture to allow Gentiles to become members of the faith. Jesus Christ taught and preached for three years; then He was killed. Three days later, he rose and was gone soon after. Christianity was born that weekend. The Jews no longer had the exclusive path to God. The Gentiles were now being offered a membership to the ultimate country club in the sky.
- God wrote His New Testament. A few handwritten copies were transcribed. Word of mouth dominated getting God’s message out. The ability to read was minimal. Preaching and teaching brought God’s word spread around. Sometime later, the Catholics had numerous scholars available for transcription. They immediately chained down all the new copies. Few people could read. Latin was Greek to most people, anyway. You had to attend the Catholic Church to hear God’s word. Reading the Bible was impossible except for the classically educated elites. The Catholics cluttered up their services with a lot of pomp and circumstance. With these controls, they stayed in charge of God’s Word for hundreds of years. They also showed off their spoken Latin skills. When Christianity started, they met as small groups of believers. They held services in each other’s homes.
- The beginning of God’s effort to include the Gentiles started with Saul on the road to Damascus. God got Saul’s attention and said, “Why are you killing off my Jewish recruits to Christianity?” My twelve (Judas had already been replaced) Jewish apostles worked hard to convert them. God said your name is now Paul, and you are now in charge of recruiting the Gentiles. I want you to convert as many Pagan Gentiles into Christianity with speed and forethought. You must teach the regular twelve apostles how to flip Gentiles into Christianity. Also, Paul, please focus on the Roman Empire, because I will eliminate it soon. I need a bedrock of Christians living within the Roman Empire before sending the Britons to tear down the gates of Rome. Later on, I will convert the Germanic tribes. (As soon as they have learned to be less vulgar.) There are reasons they are called Barbarians.
- Once the printing press is invented, I will send a civilized Germanic monk to distribute, preach, and teach my book. For hundreds of years, Catholics kept all copies of the Old Testament chained down in their monasteries. The era of hand-produced, limited editions is over. These new printing presses can produce copies for everybody. Preaching and teaching my word will become a growing industry.
- Lutheranism will enjoy explosive growth until new denominations evolve. The Catholics will launch a counter-reformation led by their new teaching order, the Jesuits. Later on, they will lead the conversion of the indigenous inhabitants of the New World once the Europeans have discovered it.
- Over time, the Catholic bureaucracy grew geometrically. They built a lot of showplace churches and cathedrals. They declared priests could not marry because they were already married to Jesus. The root cause of this move was to take control of the estate land and assets donated to local parishes. The Vatican got filthy rich overnight. Commercialism set in big time. The selling of indulgences to build new lavish cathedrals was the last straw for a German monk named Martin Luther. He nailed ninety-five theses to the door of Wittenberg cathedral in 1517. German peace terms with the Catholic Church were implemented in 1555. The fuse had been lit. New denominations sprung up, big time.

- Church denominations continued to explode. In the USA today, there are 2,000 Protestant denominations. That has numerous points of view.
- Soon, God will get His word out via the World Wide Web. Web-based Christianity will augment Church Christianity, not supplant it. In the future, Web Christianity will become a part of the brick-and-mortar church services. These are the in-person church services; everything stays the same. The added web component of Sunday sermons and liturgical arrays strengthens the message. Teaching and preaching protocols must be developed for the remaining six days of the week. The hybrid home and church preaching/schooling will involve a balanced work/home schedule. Lutherans and Catholics have always had parochial schools, but not universally. These two functions historically were not integrated.
- The teaching and preaching paradigms must become integrated and coordinated. The devil works 24/7/365 against you, but God needs you on His schedule 24/7/365. Do good; avoid evil. This does not mean you are on duty all the time. It means you are trained and ready to combat evil when it invades your space, your mind, and, importantly, your soul.
- The preacher and congregation will interact at home and in church. The teaching and preaching of God’s Word on the web will still conform to the historic Christian requirements. These include, but are not limited to, love for God & others. Love is the foundation of every healthy church. Servant leadership. Committed to gathering together. Engaging in Bible reading and prayer. Bible preaching (Speak only when the Bible speaks). Remain in discipleship mode. Remain dedicated to serving others and engaging in evangelism. Continue kindness and generosity.
- THE TIMES is changing.
- Fourteen states now have the school choice option.
- Public schools are a disaster from first grade through a college degree. Affirmative action passes almost everybody. Teachers cannot discipline students. COVID-19 dumped down most students. Gangs and bullies create havoc and are worse. The three Rs have fallen into the seas of oblivion. Immorality continues to hit new heights. America’s culture has devolved into sewer levels. Public education is an unmitigated disaster. If you send your kid to college, it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars annually. In return, the Christian, solid citizen you sent away to college will return an atheist, socialist/communist/antichrist who hates the government. Working is beneath them. They want to live in your basement and join ANTIFA, BLM, and/or the Communist Party of America. They have been led to believe that Mom and Dad are part of the problem.
- Fourteen states now offer school choice. The remaining red states and a few blue states may also become school choice states soon.
- The time has come for Christian schools to explode their educational programs. Christian churches must get into the education business ASAP. They need to combine Christian preaching with secular teaching.
- Their churches will become whole again, and many church bureaucratic jobs will be eliminated. Each web church will be free-standing. They will adapt the organizational structure and preach the content of the Christian Church/Church of Christ. Web-based supplemental church preaching, teaching, and education modules will be used. Notably, homeschooling will be done interactively on these screens. The schools will teach K through 12. Two and four degrees will be available and certified.
- All advanced degrees, including Ph.D.s, will be offered. Religion and academic learning will be accessible 24/7/365. Tutoring help will also be available 24/7/365. Testing will be standardized.
- BUSINESS AND MARKETING PLANS TO FOLLOW.
