Bible Note: Bradk, I will do as you suggest and add a profile, if that will help. I can assure you that I will not be one of the ones that don't tough it out. I hope I didn't do anything against the policy of this forum. I did read the rules and regulations. As for my intent, it is to get to know and fellowship with other christians, as I don't get out much. I have a deep love for the Lord and only wish to learn everything that I can about the word he left to guide us. I feel that there are many depths yet to be plumbed to the Bible that haven't yet been explored. I have no desire to falsify anything or start an apostate doctrine. Lastly, I have no problem with anyone scrutinizing my comments at all. That is the whole point. Different people working together can discover the word and all it's meanings. I just think that we should read the Word repeatedly to learn everything there is to know and not be in such a hurry to discount every new thing, as long as it isn't ungodly. GOd Bless, Misty |
