My father and his brothers and sisters were gospel singers. Together, they traveled around the hills of Kentucky preaching and singing. I am a natural skeptic. I used to listen to all the Bible stories and wondered about the factual basis for these stories. At the age of 23, I went to Bible College for 3 years to learn if there was scholarship behind the Bible stories. From a skeptics point of view, I was interested in history, reliability of the Scriptures, extra biblical proof, and an exegetical understanding. I concluded the Bible is true. If the historical stories are true, then what about future predictions? The ultimate future prediction is that Christ will return to earth and establish 1,000 Reign. ‘The Reign’ is that story.
I would like to give thanks and special credit to my brother, Harold Lunsford, for providing me historical information and expanding the story of John Cruz’ early life in the 1950’s.voir moins
