God by Jesus

Why this app?

I grew up in a loving Catholic family, yet one moment from my childhood shook me to the core.

During my first communion preparation, my grand aunt told me the story of original sin — how every one of us is born guilty because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience.

I felt a deep confusion and sorrow. How could a loving God punish me for something I didn’t do? My own mother would never punish me for my brothers’ mistakes. Why would our heavenly Father be less just than her?

That innocent question pierced my young heart and set me on a long, painful journey. As I read the Bible more deeply, I struggled with doubts — trying to reconcile a compassionate, all-knowing God with passages that felt harsh, unjust, or heartbreaking.

But then something unexpected happened.

In the words and life of Jesus of Nazareth, I began to see a different face of God — kinder, more loving, and more merciful than I had ever imagined.

This discovery moved me so deeply that I created 'God by Jesus' — an educational app born from my own search for that God. My hope is that it will gently guide you, as it guided me, to discover the loving Father that Jesus revealed.

How does it work?

• Challenge traditional views thoughtfully
• Explore biblical sites on an interactive map
• Grow your Kindness Garden daily
• Challenge AI about your answers
• Share your findings at your convenience

To understand the unique nature of Jesus’ God, we encourage you to delve into each episode, particularly the questions. Each item on the list or icon on the map represents a short story.

Within the app section 'About' , you’ll find a concise introduction to the Bible, that aims to help you understand that the Bible doesn’t hide “errors” as much as it preserves multiple perspectives in dialogue.

Ancient editors didn’t eliminate contradictions; instead, they respected tradition enough to retain all versions. Consequently, the Bible isn’t a single, monotonous monologue but a blend of voices spanning time.

In the app 'Settings', you can also:

• Delete all the answers or comments you’ve typed in.
• Change the language.
• Reload the introduction.

We hope you’ll embark on this journey with curiosity, an open mind, and an open heart.

Here are some interesting quotes about open-mindedness from some distinguished authors:

“We humans can remain relevant in an era of cognitive computing because we are able to think differently, something that an algorithm, almost by definition, can’t master.” From “The Innovators” by Walter Isaacson and Dennis Boutsikaris.

"We too often bind ourselves by authorities rather than by the truth." Lucretia Mott

“Humans should always retain the freedom to doubt, to check again, to hear a second opinion, to try a different path... It is our own human fingers that wrote the Bible, the Quran, and the Vedas, and it is our minds that give these stories power.” From “21 Lessons for the 21st Century.” By Yuval Noah Harari.

“The truth is, we only become secure in our convictions by allowing them to be challenged.” From “You’re not Listening - What you’re missing and why it matters” by Kate Murphy.

"Why are you helping me? Because people who don’t have questions have blind faith, and blind faith is the furthest thing from faith." From the TV show “Lessons in Chemistry” season 1, episode 5.

“I hear Socrates say, ‘ Keep asking. The road to wisdom is paved with good questions.’" From “The Geography of Genius” by Weiner, Eric.
