This site started around 10 years ago or more, as a compilation of study notes. Parts have been uploaded to different sites, and the articles have been and continue to be revised. As the reader I, Jesse Davis, the writer ask you not to assume, there is lack of knowledge, or understanding for having done so.
the essential problems were, are, and will be, at least until Iesous (Jesus) returns. these are 1) no man is capable of understanding the whole of our bibles, 2) human beings lie, even if we try hard not to, only Ahih yhvh, and those perfected immortals do not lie, 3) the ancient 1st language texts are often missing pieces, or held and owned by organizations who were known to have modified them in the past, 4) we know via prophecy the beast, the antichrists, and the 2 drakwns, actively fight against truth, 5) Iron sharpens Iron, so in debate, discussion, arguments, teaching, preaching, writing, it became necessary to revise, or ultimately be found untrue, 6) I am a mortal man, i need to support myself, my children, my study, and my works.
This site was launched with a church name so those who agree have something to call themselves. I expect 0 followers, and a lot of criticism. If you find a truth, a concept, you can use, then my work has been worth it. Criticism, especially the intelligent kind, is welcome. Condemnations will be deleted. Do not leave vile comments. Spread the truth you do find, and my work is done.
Answer Iesous when he says “Will I find faith in the Last Days?”. You be the Answer.
The name “Church of Otters” is reference to Revelation 13:4 “who is like the beast able to make war with him?”, at this I asked who is like the drakwn able to make war with them? In a natural sense, only hippopotamuses and otters kill water lizards like crocodiles or alligators, and those creatures mentioned as part of the beast. Hippopotamus was rejected, because who wants to be a big mouthed fat person, or o be mockingly called church of hypocrites? Otter was chose instead, it expresses the curiosity, situational awareness, intelligence, and social coordination, defensive nature, and ability to match and defeat opponents equal and greater in size. This gives those who might worship a man, a symbol instead to embrace, so truth, social coordination, and defense of those take focus. It also, at least in English cannot be easily mocked. Verbal misunderstanding sounds like “church of fatters”, “church fathers”, “church of fighters”, all things good for future church growth and prophecy. Even mockery like “church of river rats” sounds a bit like subliminally “Church of reverence”. The connection to a concept hard to mock, of a creature native to the waters of baptism, and humanity, is better than other options, and it is a nice, fun symbol, and expresses our recognition as humans we are unclean sinners.
