    My name's Jeff. I just joined a while ago. First a little about me:

    I'm 57, married with 2 adult children (aged 30 and 33). I'm originally from California, but after a brief stint as a hobo in the early 80s I ended up where I am now, in Pennsylvania. My original intent was to stay here only for the winter then continue on in the spring, but then I met my wife and decided to settle down.

    I was raised Southern Baptist. After wandering thru several other religions (Catholicism, Hinduism, Islam, Quakerism, Rajneeshism and Wicca), I finally returned to my Baptist roots. I don't have a church just yet (I attend my wife's Evangelical church for the time being).

    On the Calvinism/Arminianism debate, I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle. Both sides of the debate are partly right and both are partly wrong. Like Rudyard Kipling's blind men and the elephant.

    Hi, I would like to give my 2 cents worth - but inflation has hit me....


    Are you seeking a Southern Baptist church?

    Looking forward to your posts here on BB

    Hello, Jeff. Welcome to the Baptist Board. Hope you find it a blessing. May you be blessed to find a sound and scriptural Baptist Church that preaches the truth of God's word.
