Overview

If you start from your most basic and certain information available to you (that you are an experiencing mind: I think therefore I am), and deduce from there to see where pure logic takes you, what will you discover? In this book it is discovered that pure logic leads to pure theology, where it is found that within the elementary fabric of reality is built a signature of God (YHVH). God's signal is ""viewable"" in the pure logic of reality, derivable from our most basic rudimentary information we have available. Much of the information of this book has not been discovered previously. These answers have been available, men have just not seen them. Along the way, in discovering the pure logic built into the fabric of reality, we will find amazingly clear, apparently undiscovered answers questions such as these built right into the fabric of reality: Is there really a no-nonsense proof for the existence of a creator-God that truly convinces, that allows us to really grasp that truth? How do we most directly experience God?Why is there pain, sin, and evil absolutely inundating a world created by a loving God?Why do many refer to apparent contradictions in the Bible? For example, why would God say in the Old Testament, ""Thou shalt not kill"" and then command all sorts of murders throughout the Bible? How are Biblical data like this explained?This book is intended to be a tremendous asset in situations of opposition ministry (to academics, in jails, to the homeless, debating nonbelievers and atheists, and so on). Also, this book should be of huge benefit to those who want no-nonsense answers to questions that God-followers usually cannot answer and/or give inept replies to, such as, why does God allow pain, why is God infinite love, is there a no-nonsense proof for the existence of God that can really convince, and what is the most direct and immediate way to experience Christ?

Author Information

Jeff Grupp is a former lecturer in philosophy and logic at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and he is now a jail chaplain and preacher at the Kalamazoo County Jail. He is a former atheist, but after some powerful visions leading up to and surrounding a car crash his wife and children were in years ago, he became a Christian, and shortly after that started a career as a pastor. He is the author of 14 professional articles in peer-reviewed professional academic philosophy journals. He has an undergraduate degree from the University of New Mexico, where he studied philosophy and anthropology, an MA in philosophy from Western Michigan University, where he studied for years very closely under the famous atheist philosopher, Quentin Smith, and he worked a little over halfway through a PhD in philosophy from Purdue University, before taking time off for financial reasons to focus more on teaching. However, instead of returning to PhD work, he changed directions to study for an MA in theology from Lincoln Christian Seminary. Jeff has no aspirations in ministry other than to continue to directly seek God, to continue developing his theology he calls 'fullness Calvinism' (also called 'nonphysical Calvinism'), and to continue working in jail ministry.
