Ø Who Owns The Middle East – The only path to peace – November 27,2009 – If we believe the Bible, God specifies the ownership of the land from the Nile to the Euphrates rivers.

Ø The Hand of God (PDF) (for downloading) – Understanding the past so that we may understand the present and our future – demonstrating that the history of mankind has been guided by God through the ages; that the guidance has continued to the present and will continue in our future.

Ø God’s True Religion – Human religious organizations often serve good purpose but they also can come between their members and God.

Ø Message from God to the President of the United States – September 7, 2010 – This extrapolation (Clay’s) of Biblical prophetic messages to the leaders of God’s people updated to the present is directed to President Barack Obama. It was written during the time of the rise of the “tea party” movement but before the resounding defeat of the President’s party candidates in Virginia, New Jersey (November 3, 2009), most recently in Massachusetts (January 19, 2010) and the precipitous fall in the popularity of the American President. Read and decide for yourself whether the interpretation is accurate. God protects His people from all enemies – foreign and domestic.

This web site contains the writings of Clay Willis (USA) and Glenn Davies (Australia). It is largely the result of a continuing Bible study conducted primarily by e-mail over the past several years. It is specifically the results of two Christians attempting to read and study the Bible with “new eyes”, i.e. to put aside as much as possible what we have learned from our encounters with various Christian and secular organizations and to attempt to learn directly from the Bible itself.

We have found that almost all religions teach a great deal of truth; they would not have remained in existence if this were not so. However, we have also discovered that many of their doctrines are not found in the Bible but are based on the teaching of one or more individuals who developed their own interpretation of the Bible and taught it to their followers. There is nothing inherently wrong with that process; it’s just that those interpretations may be wrong and in the case of some religions, the doctrines taught are based as much upon the traditions developed by church leaders as they are upon the Bible. This is especially true of the Catholic Church and its offshoots that remain close to its doctrines and with Judaism, which honors the Talmud sometimes more than the written law and the prophets.

Today’s evangelical Christians have discarded many of the traditions developed by the Catholic Church and rely more directly on the Bible for their doctrines. The result of this is that several of these human religions organizations are the fastest growing groups of Christians while the Catholic Church remains static and is losing members of its organization in many places. However, without the Bible scholars that are a part of the priesthood of the Catholic Church, each of these organizations is free to interpret the Bible as they see fit and the result is the fracturing of the body of Christ into thousands of organizations, each separated by relatively small doctrinal differences and with many believing that they have a corner on the truth, thus insuring that there cannot be any unity among God’s people

We believe that there is only one true religion and that it is the same religion practiced by the patriarchs of the Bible, by the children of Israel and the same religion taught by Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God. It is a religion that is based on loving God with all our heart, soul and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves. The rituals are unimportant and the small differences of doctrine are mostly unimportant as well.

We also believe that the love of God causes a person to seek to understand and obey God’s laws, which are immutable, unchangeable and perfect and the striving to understand and obey those laws is the only human course of action that leads to happiness, contentment and spiritual growth.

It is our desire that our writing might stimulate others to study the Bible more carefully and to learn from that book the purpose of our existence, the nature of God and humanity and what God has in store for mankind.
