Just want to say hello!

Since it is true that you are a new believer let me share something things about this board.


There are debate sections here, and in them you will find plenty of debating. Remember that what you read in type on this board can be seen differently than if people were together having the same discussion and using the same words. Try not to read to much into posts.

There will also be posts that are clearly offensive to some and not so offensive to others. Not because we do not care for each other but because we often become passionate about subjects and issues.

This can be a great place for supplemental learning. Just remember that what gets said on this board does not have the importance some people would like to think it has.

Eat the meat and spit out the bones.

Welcome aboard! :thumbs:

 

Revmitchell has given good counsel. The debate sections are just that--for arguing. And sometimes, frankly, it gets out of hand. But remember, you may find yourself at odds with someone on one issue, and agreeing with them on another.

The other side of the coin is that sharp debate sharpens issues and sharpens minds. When I'm reading a thread on a controversial subject, I want to see the strongest possible arguments for each view. The trick is to disagree without being disagreeable. Most of the time we succeed. Sometimes we don't.

At any rate, welcome. We have some really good scholars here, and you will benefit from their knowledge and experience.

 

Welcome aboard!! :wavey:

 

I second the idea of Tom Butler as he agrees with RevMitchell. You'll find my temperament such that patience is not my strongest grace and I may seem testy at times. It comes out of frustration when others do not see I am 100% right! :smilewinkgrin: Don't take things too seriously other than the word of God as the Holy Spirit leads you.

 

Woo Hoo on your salvation and welcome to the board!
