Do you know where your home is or do you have an unexplained longing for your true home?
This web site is dedicated to a view of the history of man and his struggle to understand life and death from the view of the Bible. Every effort is made to honor and glorify the Creator. Great effort and consideration has been made to explore opposing views. (Mat 5:43-48)

is where the heart is as the saying goes. Most of us have that place or know of a place where we feel most comfortable and at ease in both body and mind. But the spirit may often long for a home that is not worldly (Heb 11:13-16). In the beginning God created that place for us (Gen 2:15), but we were evicted because of our disobedience (Gen 3:24). Since that time (Since Sin), we have the sense of being a foreigner in this world. However, a new home has been furnished for those who seek it (Jn 14:2). -
is the use of the mind to evaluate our perceptions to give us understanding. The accumulation of knowledge results in wisdom. Wherever we are on our journey we should stay in the house of wisdom. "By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches" (Pr 24:3-4 NASB). How soundly we reason and accurately we perceive depends on what controls our mind (Rom 8:6). What our mind is set on determines our worldview. Without the concept of the Spirit, our worldview is focused on death. A worldview centered on life results in true reasoning, knowledge and wisdom (Rom 12:2).

is knowledge dealing with past events. How far back in time and how accurate this knowledge extends is controversial. Recorded history comes in several forms. Ancient history was written on scrolls, tablets, monuments, etc. Archeology helps add to and confirm recorded history. While not just a historical document, the Bible contains the most comprehensive history of man (Acts 17:26 NIV) and events in the middle east of any recorded history. The Bible covers the most complete genealogy of ancient times that exists. "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone," (Eph 2:19-20 NASB).

for the accuracy of the historical claims of the Bible are extensive. Secular writings and Archeology support Bible events and time lines. This historical accuracy lends credence to other claims of the Bible, such as Creation, the Flood, and the Resurrection of Christ. Acts 17:24-31 (NASB) 24 "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; 26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, 27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' 29 "Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man. 30 "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
