I wasn’t raised in any church because my father believed in God but found hypocrites in churches. Mom was Catholic but he banned its practice in our family so she never attended church and us kids didn’t. My grandmother taught me about Jesus and prayer. I always loved Him and prayed earnestly every night alone. I prayed that wars would end. In middle school they sent me to a school funded by protestant denominations where we had chapel and a course on the Bible. I read the Bible for the first time and fell in love with scripture. I studied the Bible myself and sought out many commentaries, then read spiritual books, all of them no matter what tradition. I read broadly and deeply, traveling to attend workshops and lessons.
I understand that God is Omnipotent and does not allow evil to go farther than the point of return. Evil cannot destroy a soul because souls belong to God alone.

The Lord has only two rules for salvation: love God above all else and love others as much as self.
