Error.  The truth does exist, however:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/genesis/1.htm
    1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

How did He do it?

     3 And God said, Let there be...
     6 And God said, Let there be...
     9 And God said, Let the...
    11 And God said, Let the...
    14 And God said, Let there be...
    20 And God said, Let the...
    24 And God said, Let the...
    26 And God said, Let us make man...

Note that everything made in all of creation was created to support
us (man).  God's purpose in creating the entire universe was to
support us.

    Genesis 2:1
    1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the
      host of them.

God spoke the universe into existence.  It's where we get the word
"universe" (uni=one, verse=metered / measured speaking).

It is enough to know this, and live your life in accordance with
this knowledge.  God takes care of the rest reliably, because all
that He built is built upon truth, and that truth is not only
reliable, but wholly reliable, for it is the foundation of all
creation.

Thank you,

I would add this:  God exists as we do.  We are soul, body, spirit,
and He is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.  We were
made in His image and likeness in that way.

We have access to God through Jesus Christ.  He came to this Earth
to restore what was lost because of sin.  It was His whole purpose
in coming here.  He came to save us from the judgment of sin.

So many people think Christianity is about religion, or tithing, or
being pinned down by a bunch of rules.  And for many, that's all it
is because that's all they see in it.

But what is it truly?  It is this:

    (1)  God making peace with man despite man's sin.
    (2)  God seeking to have fellowship with us, His creation.
    (3)  God seeking to lead us into the full knowledge of His
         creation in His Kingdom (Heaven).

We are not limited only to what happens in this world.  Even after
we die here we will go on.  We die here because of sin, and this
mortality must be shed so we can put on immortality (1 Cor 15:53).

We are here in this fallen world only for a time.  God is giving us
space to come to know about Him, His rules, His guidance, the reasons
behind why He's done what He's done, as best as each of us individually
is able to understand, and to then give us space to repent and come to
Him asking forgiveness for our sin, so that He might forgive us and
we'll be saved.

He doesn't save everybody.  There is a thing that must be done to be
saved.  He's made it as simple as possible:  acknowledge your sin,
repent, and ask and it will be given to you.  He could not have made
it any easier and still given us a choice.

Jesus calls to each person to come spend eternity with Him in the
paradise of Heaven, in the full knowledge of His Kingdom, to dwell
therein with richness of love, grace, peace, joy, and Him personally.
He calls us to be the remarkable creations of God He intended us to
be before sin came in and wrecked everything.  He offers to restore
us, to make all things new, and to give us a chance to start again
in the manner He intended, after all sin is put away forever.

I pray you will come to Him and seek forgiveness for your sin.  He
will forgive you no questions asked, but you must truly acknowledge
that what you've done was wrong, and desire truly to turn away from
that wrong-doing.  If you are sincere He will know, and He will
forgive you in that very moment and you will pass from death to life
in His Kingdom in that very moment, being born again of the spirit,
eternally, so that you will never face judgment, nor condemnation in
Hell.

It is His greatest plan for you and your life, and He Himself makes
it possible for you to just come to Him and ask and He'll give it
free of charge.

I urge you to consider this message.  You'll never get a better offer
than the one Jesus is extending to you.  A full pardon, simply for
acknowledging that what you did was wrong, and then turning away from
it to stop doing wrong things again.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin
