From the dawn of time people have pursued the knowledge of God.

Regardless of ethnicity, geography or history people have always pursued God wherever they have lived. While there have always been atheists there are not many and many of those have likewise reached out their hands to God when their lives were almost over.

God has recorded His will and His ways in the Bible.

This book is unique among the religious holy books. All other religions have a book written by one person who had the fortune to meet with god where he downloaded all of his information to them. This unique person became the go to person for understanding god and following that religion. This is true of the Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons.

It is not true of Christianity and Judaism. These religions explain God revealing Himself to humanity over hundreds of years incrementally recording His will and ways.

The Bible was written over 1400 years by more than 40 people in three languages all detailing a consistent character of God and will of God without discrepancy or contradiction.
