Was he selfish and rash at the age of one? Was his stage of the “terrible twos” as horrible a stage as most? If Jesus were a normal youngster what would the outcome have been?

Somewhere in our antediluvian past, mankind both technologically and socially surged forward in a single leap. Going from being hunter-gatherers to city dwellers and inventors, we intellectually bloomed in a second of historical time.

Let us attempt to rediscover the truth and expand our understanding of the complete and perfect God. If God is our creator and we were made in the image of God, then God is both our father and our mother.

Wisdom is a harsh master, demanding authenticity and truth. No self-delusion or protection will be tolerated. The seeker must be spiritually eviscerated.
