Plit! . . . What was that? A sound? A noise? Something falling to the ground? Who heard it? Did anyone pay any attention to it? Does anyone even care? Not now, but one day soon, everyone in the whole world will know about it. Why? Why did a loving God plant and nurture a seed that He knew would grow into the tree, that would be turned into the cross, that His only begotten Son would be crucified on? Why was the seed of this tree so important to Him? At the same time as the seed on its journey to becoming a tree was planted by God another seed was about to be planted by God. A young Jewish girl, a virgin---spotless and pure---holy in the eyes of God, chosen specifically by God, to become the mother of God! Her name is Mary, chosen to be honored forevermore! A seed is about to be planted in Mary. A seed that is destined to grow into a man. A man whose Father is God! A man whose mother is human. A man destined to be, all man and all God, at all of the time. A God-man, whose destiny was already intertwined in an unbreakable bond to be joined with the tree that is sprouting from the seed on a lonely old hill above the little village of Bethlehem,. A God-man, whose destiny was already determined before the foundation of the earth was even set in place, to be crucified on a cross made from a tree that God planted and nurtured and made to grow!In miraculous ways, two seeds have now been planted. Two seeds have now sprouted. Two seeds are now being nurtured and protected by God. Two seeds are now set on their individual paths to an unbreakable destiny of one day being joined together-forever!Why did God have to become the Father of God through Mary? What was the reason why God had to plant a seed inside of Mary that became Jesus---the Son of God---whom God had already predestined to die on the cross made from the tree that came from the seed that God planted and caused to sprout and grow?To answer these questions, we have to go all of the way back to the very first miraculous seed ever planted by God in the very 'beginning' journey of the history of creation that would eventually turn into the destiny of mankind---the destiny of mankind that required a perfect God-man to take the place of an 'imperfect' sacrificial lamb, to die on a tree-cross so God and man could be reconciled together. This book is dedicated to everyone who has ever had questions, doubts, and/or, concerns about the Bible, Christianity, and/or, God. There are many, many confusing, and even conflicting things written in the Bible. But, if you have ever tried to get any true and honest answers from your clergy, teachers, college professors, and/or, deans of religion, concerning these concerns, you have probably been given even more confusing answers than you ever had before, or more than likely, been given no answers at all. Following are some questions that will be answered: 1. Is the story of 'creation' in the book of Genesis correct in the way it is written? 2. If so, is the earth really only about 7 to 10-thousand years old as many believe?3. Did Eve speak with a real reptilian snake?4. If so, what kind of snake was it? Was it poisonous?5. What was the real 'forbidden fruit' that Adam and Eve partook of?6. What kind of tree did the forbidden fruit come from?7. Is the Bible the absolute infallible Word of God, totally and completely free from all mistakes?8. Why do some religions have a different number of 'holy' books in their Bibles?9. Why are there four different versions of the resurrection of Jesus in the four Gospels?10. Did Judas commit suicide or did he fall face first and his bowels spilled out? Did angels intermarry with mankind? What about the Neanderthals, and any other sub-human species, where did they come from? What about the dinosaurs, where did they come from? Was our loving God responsible for creating something so awesomely fearful and mean? Is there anything in the Bible that can give us an answer to this question? YES!!!
