The Interview:
Quincy:So, graceandpeace, how did you find TOL?
A friend gave me the link, (someone I knew on another board).
How would you rank it among other forums you have participated in?
Depends on what I am ranking...just to be clear. As pertaining to freedom to express, I find it moreso unlimited, but as to what it upholds, I find it moreso lacking. That is to say that truth is in the eye of the beholder, and as far as truth is being spread, I don't see much of that going on here....accept for the few that understand the new covenant.
If I looked at your favorites list in your web browser, what would I likely find?
All kinds of things...facebook, youtube, biblestudy links, government links that are pertaining to my permanent residence here in Canada, some other favorite sites, like Kijiji, that is a site that offers free ads..for selling personal items, etc....because I like a good bargain..
If you had a million dollars what would you use it for?
I would use it to spread the gospel, help the needy, feed the poor, I do not get involved with worldly treasures so much, having walked away from it, when the Lord brought it upon my heart. I live day to day, simply and humbly, without a need to impress my heart with worldly riches. I left all my physical riches when I came to Canada, to start fresh, without it. I do not have a desire to store up the same old riches I have left behind.
Do you have any favorite hobbies?
Oh yes...I love to oil paint, and writing poems/songs, gardening, working with my hands, in crafts, etc...anything that has a 'creative flair' to it, I love. I also love to hike, and camp, if that could be considered a hobbie, simply because I love the outdoors, and the freedom from 'stuff', stuff that I mentioned priorly.. material things.
If you could invent one thing what would it be?
hmmm, that is a hard question. Certainly I can think of alot of things that would make the world a better place, so it would have to be something that would offer help to someone in need. Curing deseases like Cancer would be wonderful, so, that is a starting point, I think.
If you could cure one disease, which one do you choose?
hatred.
What color is your room?
well, right now, I am sitting in my bedroom, at the desk, and the room is gray...btw, I hate gray...LOL, but time will change it.
Do you have a favorite brand for things like cars, clothing or electronics?
nope
How would you describe your political views?
I am not into politics..left them when I came out of the world. I stand for Jesus and His government, the governments of men are doomed to destruction, so why bother in it?
You list as a Christian, for those that don't know what does the Christian faith mean to you?
It is grace. Being set free from the old carnal nature, bound by the law of moses, to serve in newness of the Spirit, wherein your heart can rejoice in the things of God...love being the most important, for it is where the others come from. You cannot have joy, without love, you cannot have peace without love, you cannot have any of them without love, which is why love fulfills the law, and gives men a means to grasp the mind of Jesus Christ.
Through this grace, we learn to obey in all things, for it is the power of the gospel. We do not do it in an instant, but it is a process of having your mind renewed day by day, and continues throughout your life. During the process, you receive as much as you are willing to give.
It is well documented that you have your theological critics on the website. What is the one thing you'd like to say to them in response?
I do not judge you, I do judge your doctrines. God will be your judge...and, He has said, He will judge you by your own words, and actions..that deny the love that is obtainable, through the gospel of grace.
As all our lives have a natural ebb and flow that we experience, do you recall what was the greatest test you ever faced?
Yes, when my faith itself was tested, it was the hardest time of my life, but the outcome was exceedingly joyful, I learned the uncompromised truth, through the experience. I was saved around the age of 12, later, I left the truth for a lie...fell into legalism, stayed there for umteen years, began to realise my error, because someone loved the Lord enough to be bold with me, and speak the truth in love. I resisted it at first, but due to the fact that I had been saved priorly, but had simply left my first love, God corrected me, and, now I am here to proclaim the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ. To all who will heed, and, if they don't, that is their freewill choice to grasp at.
What was the happiest moment of your life?
The day I came back to Jesus Christ. I have to say it was even happier than the first day I came to Him, as a child, because coming home is soo much more, after you know the full evils of the world, than coming home as an innocent child, that really doesnt know the fullness of the evils of the world. I am not ashamed of what I went through. It taught me the fullness of why Jesus Christ saves us all. It taught me to hate sin...after wallering in it; fully.....you simply learn how damaging it really is.
What would we all be surprised to find out about you?
That I am a true comedian...and, that I live life for the simple things. To laugh, is to live.
Finally, as you depart, care to share a piece of God given wisdom your life has taught you with the readers?
I may have done too much of that already...but, to add to it, I will just say that God is love, and it is His will to make us in His image..and, sometimes the process is hard, especially for the rebellious house that ALL of us are a part of...even if we think we are not.
The Ten:
1. What is your favorite word?
Love
2. What is your least favorite word?
probably the one's I miss spell...hehe.
3. What sound or noise do you love?
LAUGHTER
4. What sound or noise do you hate?
Traffic, or loud noises of the city. I love the quietness of the outdoors, where you can hear the birds, or the flo of a creek, or the wind, that blows through the trees.
5. What's the last thing that made you smile?
TOL, lol
6. Describe yourself in three words.
Sincere, Giving, and Honest...those are my good points.
Bad points:
Impatient, Emotional, and Hard headed...but, I am growing in these, through the power of love, amen.
7. If you were only allowed to retain only two possessions what would they be?
Physical?
hmmm, a few clothes, and some food.
8. Is it better to be loved or respected.
That is like saying, what comes first..the chicken or the egg...but, I believe LOVE is the root of every good thing, so I choose LOVE...without love, there is no respect.
9. What is the proudest accomplishment of your life?
Finally hearing Jesus.
10. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the closest, how close are you to being the person you want to be?
in my way of looking at it, a 1; in God's,.....I am up there with Him.....:up:
