Hey TOL gurus. My real name is Caleb; "I hate to be that heretic" as my username is just an unorthodoxy warning.
I know this may be a bad Idea, but I have the feeling nonetheless I am really going to enjoy this site. Like many of you I think in an unconventional manner and do not really subscribe to the doctrinal beliefs of any denomination or religion...I don't like to consider myself affiliated with Christianity, not because I don't love God or am unbelieving but because I despise religion. So I couldn't really describe myself as protestant, catholic, Armenian, Calvinist, Charismatic, Baptist, etc. I simply love walking with God, revelation, and using the gift God gave me of mental ability (which some may contest).
If some of you wouldn't mind explaining a bit of how the forum system works, like reputation, the different categories of membership (what they mean), and all those other mechanisms that aren't quite that forthcoming, I would love that.
Most of all, I am here to have my thinking challenged, and may randomly post something extremely radical for this purpose. I love it when people disagree. Feel free to even play devil's advocate if you see a weakness in my argument, also feel free to point out any blatant heresy (need I even give you permission?). I never take that personally, but I generally pay no attention to ad-hominem attacks. I already anticipate being called a heretic, at the same time, most of you guy's thinking is extremely profound and deep, so I expect to learn a lot.
Political views: the Constitution. That gives away my candidate pretty well.
A summation of my Theology: To be a child of God is to be led by the Spirit. I don't belive that divine revelation has ceased, and emphasize the need for people to listen to the voice of God for themselves.
Anyway, looking forward to this.:thumb:
