Welcome everybody, and may the peace of our Lord be with you. We have named this the St. Augustine forum in hopes that all will post messages with the same purity of heart and sincere quest for absolute truth that St. Augustine had in the late 4th century when he turned away from his life of sin to a life in service to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is one of the original 4 "fathers of the church." The others were: Ambrose; Jerome; and Gregory the Great, the bishop of Rome from 590-604 AD. Please try to post messages in the same sort of Spirit of love that St. Augustine had so graciously received from God.

The goal is simply to find simple absolute scriptural truth on the matter of human sexuality. I believe simple absolute truth exists, and that we have complicated the matter. I do not believe God left us complicated instructions that requires a PHD in philosophy to figure out.

Please feel free to critique anything that is on the website. I've tried my best to obtain simple absolute truth that I will pass on to my children, but since I'm human I realize that I too may need correction on scriptural interpretation. I do believe my children deserve the solid foundation of absolute truth up front, and not some sort of general truth that they will be tempted to change when they face storms in life. More than anything, I want my children (including future children-in-laws) and my grandchildren to be in God's loving arms when they pass from this world. I believe that if I am to tell my children that He who is the truth and the way, says absolutely that remarriage while your spouse is living is adultery, then I must back up my belief by helping divorced spouses. I do this by pointing out to the ones doing the divorcing that they have a Creator and a purpose for having been created and put on this planet. I follow this up by telling them about God’s love towards them and then reading scripture to them, repeating the process periodically. I believe that I have been commanded by my Lord to take on this responsibility towards the fallen person [Mat 19:6, Mar 10:9, Eze 3:18-21, Jam 5:19-20].

In doing this, I believe I can make a major impact around me. I am excited at the potential that the church can have on the world if this simple thing is done by all Christians. I believe that marriage is the crown jewel for the church. Without it, the church will continue to die off; but it will never die completely. In the end, we know who wins.

Thank you and may God bless you.
