Thesis on Convergence


Thesis means:  "a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved."

The clear statment here is: "All WindowView areas contribute perspectives with evidence coming together from science and Scripture. That evidence ultimately leads to one life changing conclusion!"

The scientific information indicates life is unique and not by chance. The evidence points to design and thus opens to life having purpose. Design comes from a mind and is not random or by chance!

Scriptural information leads to how life’s purpose offers an opportunity to make a vital personal decision—to form a relationship with the source of design. Specifically, the biblical information presents Elohim (God) as creator and origin of all and thus is the Designer. The opportunity to form a relationship with the God of Israel is available to you.


The full view and truth about life and your existence opens to the future and it is time to Step Up To Life!


Step Up To Life

Step up now or keep reading …


Forming the relationship focuses on the Jewish Messiah. To first recognize who the Messiah is ... comes with a study of the Hebrew Scriptures in the Tanach (also known as: Old Testament, Older Covenant—a significant example is a reading of Isaiah 52:13 to all of 53). The presence of the Messiah when on Earth comes with study of the Brit Chadeshah (the Greek Scriptures, New Testament, New Covenant).

The Messiah reveals a need to recognize problems we have in life (sin), but offers grace and forgiveness and the good news (the Gospel) that forming a commitment and a relationship with Him leads to the promise of eternal life—this relationship is available to all Jewish and Gentile peoples. And the Scriptures in fact outline the future yet to come.

What you read, study, consider and decide is your personal choice. The decision you make is personal. If truth from science and Scripture is the ultimate harmony and your life is the ultimate opportunity to make a vital decision, then making that decision as soon as possible, while you have this life.


Presentations on the Gospel

There are many guides to understanding the Gospel and rather than to present a long description here the following links provide good sources to visit:

First, a presentation by a Jewish believer in the Messiah is presented in the link below:

Gospel presented by a Jewish person.

The presenter is Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum who is also the author of many books that are referenced within WindowView.

To fully achieve understanding and accepting the promise of the Gospel one needs to also address repentance. The next link to a You Tube talk by a Gentile, Mike Winger, addresses repentance:

Gospel presented by a Gentile person.

Once over the hurdle of repenting, life completely changes and the future looks very different from what you may be seeing today!


Further Details from Science and Scripture


Following this Thesis page the WindowView offers two much more detailed summary pages. Either click a link for the Science Details or Theology Details page or take a moment to read the remainder of the Convergence Thesis.


Thesis on Convergence of Perspectives


In summary, we all need truth and answers to life’s most important questions. Vital information is truthful and objective. The ultimate truth leads to deciding on making a relationship of the One who is the origin of the universe and all life.

You can read more about convergence in relation to science and theology or you can go directly to the description of the Event Horizon that is the description of what is to come in the future. All perspectives from science to Scripture, change and time, all lead to this one horizon.

What will happen to you by looking to that horizon will determine your ultimate and eternal destiny.


Convergence Is


The following elements appear in the WindowView:

• Key Scenarios

• Driving Forces

• Sight lines

that create an opportunity for each of us to Step Up To Life.

A) Key Scenarios

The scenarios provide some of the characteristics that define an area within the window. The first such characteristic is we live in ever more complex world as illustrated by the matrix of issues associated with global change. Change is real. The introductory video and graphical review of factors brings change to life. This leads to the question about our response to changes in the world around us.

In the realm of the sciences, we have data like never before in history, to the point we can reassess what Darwin observed. The core of the science scenario is that information in living systems provides a clue to our true origin.

The third scenario in the window is a reflection of a harmony in relationship with God. Given our free will, seeing and deciding what the is, is up to us. The scriptural view leads to making a relational choice—to choose life!

B) Driving Forces

The view is not static. What we see has motion and direction. Seeing the present blend into the future is reason enough to sit at the window to look, think, and reflect. There is a need to take action to counter consequences and act now to saves us, our lives, our planet. The secular call for a response is an echo in the halls of science, politics, and elsewhere. Change moves humanity to a crossroads: "choice or crisis." How will you respond?

Current events reveal forces that move us to the end of the window's timeline. The scriptural evidence bridges from old to new, Hebrew to Greek, Jew to Gentile, and from now to the future.

C) Sight lines to the Horizon

The focal point—a convergence of lines of sight—brings us to consider life now is not by chance, has purpose, and in spite of change and threats to material life now, there is a promise for life into the future. The promise comes by way of Israel's Messiah. In this regard, the window has room for the unique perspectives from both science and Scripture. One side of the window sees our material experience, the other the spiritual dimension.

Scriptural evidence is presented in two covenant books (The Hebrew Bible, Tanach, and the Greek text of the Brit Chadeshah, The New Covenant). Viewed in this manner, there is only One book for One people, for One purpose. And that book tells of life going into the future—just beyond the coming event horizon.

WindowView has offered a gentle approach and sufficient evidence as to warrant your consideration of making a choice … a "Step up to Life." If you investigated the key scenarios, thought about what you see through the window, then perhaps you have made the step up. If so, then your life has a future. If not, then what is your life? If nothing else, this life, your life, is an opportunity to find answers and then respond.

D) A Step Up to Life

You may choose to Step Up to Life if you so choose!

At various times when looking about WindowView, you have had the opportunity to respond to the view. Each article and other pages have footer panels marked "Step Up To Life." There really are only two responses to what the window reveals. Either you reject or accept an opportunity extended to you in Scripture.

Scripture when examined objectively is not in conflict with science. Some study is required to get the context of the underlying message, but the biblical storyline goes beyond history and morality … the opportunity Scripture offers is a choice for a relationship with God. If He IS, how can you not look?

The choice is placed before Jew and Gentile alike. In fact, the biblical line of logic requires both Jew and Gentile to function. The key to the storyline and the opening to the future comes with the identification of the Messiah Himself.

Again: We exist for a relationship with God—should we choose—for both Jew and Gentile, the choice is ours to make. The evidence in the Scriptures is designed specifically to make this one main point.
