I think, therefore I THINK I am;
Yahweh is love -- Jesus proves it! -- therefore we are.

Descartes' logic does not prove my existence beyond my own mind.
My thinking is not the origin of my existence, it is not the source of my being.

I was born in Eastern Europe. I still speak (and read and write) Magyar. I spent 4 weeks interpreting for the centennial Olympic Games. I earned my PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am a registered professional engineer.

Then the LORD saw how great was man's wickedness on earth, his heart was grieved. But Noah found favor with the LORD.
When God saw how corrupt the earth had become, since all mortals led depraved lives, he said to Noah: "I have decided to put an end to all mortals on earth; the earth is full of lawlessness because of them.
"Make yourself an ark, put compartments in it and cover it with pitch: the length shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty and its height thirty cubits. I am about to bring the flood waters, to destroy everywhere all creatures. But with you I will establish my covenant; you and your sons, your wife and your sons' wives. Of all other living creatures you shall bring two into the ark, one male and one female, that you may keep them alive. Moreover, you are to provide yourself with all the food that is to be eaten."
Then the LORD said to Noah: "Go into the ark. Seven days from now I will bring rain down for 40 days and nights and I will wipe out from the surface of the earth every moving creature that I have made."
With his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, Noah went into the ark. Of the animals, two by two male and female entered the ark with Noah, just as the LORD had commanded. As soon as the seven days were over, the waters of the flood came.
For forty days and forty nights heavy rain poured down on the earth. All creatures on earth perished: only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.
God remembered Noah and all the animals with him. So God made a wind sweep over the earth and the waters began to subside. At the end of 150 days the waters had so diminished that the ark came to rest.
Noah opened the hatch in the ark, and he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had lessened. But the dove could find no place to alight and it returned. He waited 7 days and again sent the dove out... and this time it did not come back.
Then God said to Noah: "Go out of the ark. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you and let them abound on the earth, breeding and multiplying on it."
Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and he offered holocausts.
God blessed Noah and said: "Be fertile and multiply and fill the earth. Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants.
God said, "See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants, never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood. This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come - I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the everlasting covenant that I have established."

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was with child through the holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, (Yahweh saves) because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,"
which means "God is with us."

You are Peter; upon this rock I will build my church & the gates of hell shall not prevail against it--I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said: Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me & I in him. John 6.
Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them. John 20

Dios es amor. Christ, risen savior of humankind, is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He is the Messiah, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. He will come again in glory. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except thru me. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 "My lords," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning."

he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."

[b]With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."

When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!"

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said, "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?"
And the angel said to her in reply, "The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God."
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.

The women who had come from Galilee with him followed behind, and when they had seen the tomb and the way in which his body was laid in it, they returned and prepared spices and perfumed oils. Then they rested on the sabbath according to the commandment.
But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb; but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them. They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground.
They said to them, "Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day."
And they remembered his words.
Then they returned from the tomb and announced all these things to the eleven and to all the others. The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles, but their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them.
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, bent down, and saw the burial cloths alone; then he went home amazed at what had happened.

A vila'g teremte'se

1 Kezdetben teremtette Isten az eget, a fo:ldet e's mindent, ami e'gen-fo:ldo:n le'tezik. 2 A fo:ld kaotikus, lakatlan e's u:res volt, a me'lyse'get so:te'tse'g bori'totta be. De Isten Szelleme ott lebegett a me'lyse'ges vizek fo:lo:tt.

Elso: nap
3 Parancsolt Isten: "Legyen vila'gossa'g!"" — e's fo:lragyogott a vila'gossa'g.
4 Akkor Isten megvizsga'lta a vila'gossa'got, e's o:ro:me't lelte benne. Majd elva'lasztotta a vila'gossa'got a so:te'tse'gto:l. 5 Azuta'n elnevezte a vila'gossa'got nappalnak, a so:te'tse'get pedig e'jszaka'nak. Majd lesza'llt az este, azuta'n felvirradt a reggel — ez volt az elso: nap.[c]

Ma'sodik nap
6 Azuta'n isme't parancsolt Isten: "Legyen boltozat a vizek ko:zo:tt, hogy elva'lassza a vizeket egyma'sto'l!"
7 I'gy teremtette Isten a boltozatot, amely elva'lasztotta a boltozat alatti vizeket a boltozat fo:lo:tti vizekto:l — e's u'gy is lett.
8 Majd elnevezte a boltozatot e'gnek. Lesza'llt az este, azuta'n felvirradt a reggel — ez volt a ma'sodik nap.

Harmadik nap
9 Azuta'n isme't parancsolt Isten: "Gyu:ljo:n o:ssze az e'g alatt minden vi'z egy helyre, e's va'ljon la'thato'va' a sza'razfo:ld!" — e's u'gy is lett.
10 Majd elnevezte a szila'rd alapzatot sza'razfo:ldnek, az o:sszegyu:lt vizet pedig tengernek. Akkor Isten megvizsga'lta, amit alkotott, e's o:ro:me't lelte benne.
11 Azuta'n isme't parancsolt Isten: "Sarjadjon ki a fo:ldbo:l mindenfe'le zo:ldello: no:ve'ny: magot termo: la'gysza'ru' no:ve'nyek e's gyu:mo:lcsfa'k, amelyek terme'se'ben szinte'n mag van!" — e's u'gy is lett. 12 A fo:ldbo:l kihajtott mindenfe'le zo:ldello: no:ve'ny: magot termo: la'gysza'ru' no:ve'nyek e's gyu:mo:lcsfa'k, amelyek terme'se'ben szinte'n mag van. Akkor Isten megvizsga'lta, amit alkotott, e's o:ro:me't lelte benne. 13 Majd lesza'llt az este, azuta'n felvirradt a reggel — ez volt a harmadik nap.

Negyedik nap
14 Azuta'n isme't parancsolt Isten: "Legyenek vila'gi'to' e'gitestek az e'g boltozata'n! Va'lassza'k el a nappalt az e'jszaka'to'l, szolga'ljanak jeleku:l, e's mutassa'k meg a kijelo:lt ido:ket, napokat e's e'veket! 15 Ragyogjanak az e'g boltozata'n, e's vila'gi'tsa'k meg a fo:ldet!" — e's u'gy is lett. 16 I'gy alkotta Isten a ke't nagy vila'gi'to' e'gitestet: az ero:sebb fe'nyu:t, hogy nappal uralkodjon, e's a gyenge'bb fe'nyu:t, hogy e'jjel uralkodjon. Megalkotta a csillagokat is.
17 Isten helyezte ezeket az e'g boltozata'ra, hogy vila'gi'tsanak a fo:ldre, 18 hogy uralkodjanak nappal e's e'jjel, e's hogy va'lassza'k el a vila'gossa'got a so:te'tse'gto:l. Akkor Isten megvizsga'lta, amit alkotott, e's o:ro:me't lelte benne. 19 Majd lesza'llt az este, azuta'n felvirradt a reggel — ez volt a negyedik nap.

o:to:dik nap
20 Azuta'n isme't parancsolt Isten: "Mindenfajta vi'zi e'lo:le'ny nyu:zso:gjo:n a vizekben! A fo:ld felett, az e'g boltozata'n repdessenek sza'rnyas e'lo:le'nyek!"
21 I'gy teremtette Isten a nagy vi'zia'llatokat e's mindenfe'le egye'b vi'zi e'lo:le'nyt, amelyek e'lnek, mozognak, e's to:megesen nyu:zso:gnek a vi'zben. Teremtett mindenfe'le repu:lo: sza'rnyas a'llatot is. Akkor Isten megvizsga'lta, amit teremtett, e's o:ro:me't lelte benne. 22 Majd mega'ldotta o:ket: "Legyetek terme'kenyek, szaporodjatok, sokasodjatok, e's ne'pesi'tse'tek be a tenger vize't! A sza'rnyas a'llatok is sokasodjanak, e's terjedjenek el a fo:ldo:n!" 23 Majd lesza'llt az este, azuta'n felvirradt a reggel — ez volt az o:to:dik nap.

Hatodik nap
24 Azuta'n isme't parancsolt Isten: "Hozzon elo: a fo:ld mindenfajta sza'razfo:ldi a'llatot: ha'zia'llatokat, kisebb e's nagyobb vada'llatokat!" — e's u'gy is lett.
25 I'gy alkotott Isten mindenfe'le nagyobb vada'llatot, ha'zia'llatot e's kisebb a'llatot. Akkor Isten megvizsga'lta, amit alkotott, e's o:ro:me't lelte benne.
26 Szo'lt Isten: "Alkossunk embert, aki hasonlo' hozza'nk, e's olyan, mint mi. Uralkodjon a tenger halain, az e'g madarain e's a ha'zia'llatokon. Uralkodjon az ege'sz fo:ldo:n e's a kisebb a'llatokon, amelyek a fo:ldo:n mozognak!" 27 Megteremtette ha't Isten az embert, aki hasonli't hozza'. u'gy teremtette, hogy olyan legyen, mint o:. Fe'rfinak e's no:nek teremtette o:ket. 28 Azuta'n mega'ldotta o:ket:

"Legyetek terme'kenyek,
szaporodjatok, sokasodjatok,
ne'pesi'tse'tek be a fo:ldet,
e's vegye'tek birtokba!
Uralkodjatok a tenger halain, az e'g madarain
e's a to:bbi a'llatokon,
amelyek a fo:ldo:n e'lnek e's mozognak."

29 Me'g azt is mondta nekik Isten: "Ne'zze'tek! Nektek adok az ege'sz fo:ldo:n minden magot termo: no:ve'nyt e's minden gyu:mo:lcsfa't, amelynek terme'se'ben mag van — ezek fognak ta'pla'lni benneteket. 30 A fo:ld o:sszes a'llatainak pedig a zo:ldello: no:ve'nyeket adom ta'pla'le'kul. A mezei vadaknak, az e'gi madaraknak, e's minden egye'b sza'razfo:ldi a'llatnak, amelyben az e'let lehelete van, odaadtam a fo:ld o:sszes zo:ld no:ve'nye't, hogy azt egye'k." 31 Akkor Isten megvizsga'lt mindent, amit le'trehozott, e's nagyon jo'nak tala'lta. Majd lesza'llt az este, azuta'n felvirradt a reggel — ez volt a hatodik nap.
