LORD Jesus Christ is the truth:

"I am the way, **the** truth, and the life" -- LORD Almighty GOD

Through HIM all things have been and continue to be made. The LORD
exists. Everything HE has made, including you, proves this.

Without the LORD, nothing stands.

GOD is also infinitely greater than all of our attempts to define HIM.

The LORD is the source of all knowledge and wisdom.

That is not what I discern.

Without the LORD, your opinions are meaningless (Ecclesiastes).

That is not what I discern.

There is no other like LORD GOD Almighty.

Actually, the Holy Quran, guidance from GOD through the angel Gabriel,
who heralded the birth of Immanuel, identifies Christ Jesus as son of
Mary, prophet of GOD who possessed with power of the Holy Spirit.

In essence, the Holy Quran also proclaims that Christ Jesus is GOD the
Son because only the Son of GOD can have the power of the Holy Spirit.

Truth is simple.

It would be your choice to make an idol for worship.

Because there is only one true GOD and HE is LORD GOD Almighty...

"I am the way, the truth, and the life" -- LORD Jesus Christ

.... this feeble attempt to prove that LORD GOD Almighty does not exist
fails.

You will remain in my prayers, dear Charlie whom I love, in Jesus'
most precious and holy name.

May GOD continue to draw you closer to HIM so that you will someday see
the following written on HIS thigh:

"KING of kings and LORD of lords."
