This blog was the result of my three-year investigation, that concluded in September 2011, into the various forms of Christianity around today. I started the blog to seek answers to how closely Christian churches actually followed the words of Jesus Christ.  What I have found after this study is that while there are almost 39,000 different Christian denomination around today practically none of them center their doctrine or practices around Jesus’ words as found in the red letters of many bibles.  As a matter of fact many seem to almost ignore his words and especially his commands!  This fact was very discouraging to me. It was not what I expected going into this study.

While I found only a few so-called Christian denominations that actually pay much attention to Jesus’ messages there is one that truly piqued my curiosity and that is the Quakers. There are several posts about them here. While I currently choose to no longer be a member of any established church I am convinced that I am a Quaker at heart.

One of the actions I have taken as a result of this study is to no longer call myself a Christian. The meaning of that word has just been watered down so much today that it really loses almost any meaning.  I now just call myself a “follower of Jesus Christ”.  While I now only post occasional thoughts here I am keeping the blog open so that others can see what I discovered on my journey.

If you are interested I would suggest you look into the “Tags”,”Categories” or “Archives  ” listing on the right side of your screen. Just click on any topic that interests you. One thing to notice is the date of the posting you are looking at.  Some of my thoughts and observations evolved over the three years of this study so keep that in mind.
