Hi BradK Not sure what you mean by 'what background am I' but I grew up in what I guess you would call a traditional baptist church. At the age of 24 (I think it was 24 :) ), I made my confession that Jesus is Lord and that I believed in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Since then, I've been growing up in Him. I wasn't really asking a question. I guess I was trying to express to anyone who may be a JW, that I don't put Jesus above God the Father (after talking with some JWs, I was left with the impression that they believe we place Jesus in a higher place than God the Father). I do believe Jesus Christ is God. And I do believe that God the Father and God the Son are one (John 10:30) and thus I believe in the diety of Christ. I hope my post does not sound as if I am disputing that or the truth that Jesus is God. I guess I was trying to make a distinction between God the Father and God the Son. Hope I satisfied your curiosity :) Abba Father bless and keep you... |

mbooker, it's interesting to note that you grew up in a Baptist church. Are you Baptist still?.... Every old hand on the forum knows I'm Baptist (SBC). I'm not only Southern Baptist but I'm about as Southern as you can get and still speak English! As Southern as grits, turnip greens, and corn pone, that's what I am! By the way, why not add a few words about yourself in the user profile? And, before I go, I want to second kalos' post regarding your fine attitude that you have displayed on this forum. You must be Southern, too; you have such genteel manners :-) --Hank | ||||||

:) Thanks Hank for your words of encouragement about my attitude. I humbly say 'thank you' and as I'm sure you already know, all the glory belongs to GOD. His Word is 'growing me up' :) I Peter 2:2 I want to understand the truth of God's word and I want the body of Christ to 'come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:' Eph 4:13. And if I've err from the truth, I want to know and be corrected. Correction(chastening) may hurt the pride, but 'nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby'. You gave me a GOOD laugh with 'You must be Southern, too; you have such genteel manners'. A merry heart does good like a medicine! If Florida is considered the south, then I guess I am southern :). Now, to answer your question. Am I still Baptist? I guess you could say that. :) I still go to a Baptist church. One thing I'm not clear on is where the different demonination came from. But I guess that would be another subject entirely! :) I'll go to my profile and add a bit about myself. I tend to come and go on this site, but I do look forward to dialoguing with you and my other brothers and sisters in Christ. Abba Father bless you and keep you. |
