But GOD forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, by WHOM the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
(Galatians 6:14 KJV)
For HE hath made HIM to be sin, for us, WHO knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of GOD in HIM.

Foreword
Purpose of this book: The maximum number of people, worldwide, will receive a good report on Judgment Day.
I find that religion has a scientific approach that has been overlooked. Matthew 16:19 and 18:18 state: What you bind on Earth is bound in Heaven and what you loose on Earth is loosed in Heaven. Both Matthew 16:19 and 18:18 mean the same even though different words are used.
The Koran states the same: When you do good you do it to yourself and when you do evil you do it to yourself. Thus shall you be brought back to your LORD.
Heaven co-exists with the world now on Earth.
Hell co-exists with the world now on Earth.
Yes, I realize that what I am claiming, in this book, does not fit the normal person’s thinking. As far as I know I am the only one who believes as I do. However, there have been too many unusual events that I can no longer resist in having them published.
The first section of the book contains a brief history of the early Christian Church and many quotes from the Bible supporting my thinking.
The second section contains the events which occurred in my life, you might call it my testimony. I was warned, spiritually, early in conversion: Do not exaggerate; MY deeds do not need to be exaggerated.
The last section includes my conclusions.

Matthew 18:18
Emperor Constantine, the first Christian Roman emperor, issued this edict:
All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun. But countrymen may without hindrance attend to agriculture, since it often happens that this is the most suitable day for sowing grain or planting vines, so that the opportunity afforded by divine providence may not be lost, for the right season is short. (Erdmans’ Handbook to the History of Christianity, page 144)
This occurred on 7 March 321 CE. The Christian CHURCH leaders, at Rome, took advantage of his proclamation to officially, within the Roman CHURCH, to change the Sabbath to Sunday. The early Christians resented the restrictions the Jews had placed
