kindly reminded by Pastor Ezekiel, hereby i'd like to introduce myself 
my real name is Kirsten, a USA born caucasian girl from ohio texas originally. Me and my family lived there till I was 13 years old. My dad is an artist and mum looked after us, so all in all kinda normal. Nowadays me and my family live in Rio De Janeiro in Brasil. When on vacation some years ago my parents loved it so much they decided to move there. Perhaps it's odd to hear a texas born girl hasn't grown up in the name of the Christ, but frankly I did... of course I grew up with others whom did believe in God, like my best friend Josh. In Rio I really lost my agnosticism however.. living in the shadow of Jesus. I started thinking more and more about my beliefs, and joined a Christian group whom named themselves 'Youth Alpha'. It was a strange experience at first, finding myself in a group mingled with believers and non(yet) believers and having discussions about Bible topics such as the crucifixion, easter, and letting faith be your shield and the Word of God be like a sword in your life... but it made sense. The more I attended and joined in the more I felt the need for God grow. When the meetings where over I made up my mind and joined the Saint Sebastian Cathedral. I also began studying Arts and am a 3rd year Art Teacher =D
I came on this forum by accident when looking for good arguments in an discussion about homosexuality, and liked the general opinions and rightfull preaching here.
I hope i'm not to much of a newbie for you people, but I'm a quick learner too.
Kind regards, Kirsten

i see the point in it too now, it being translated for the Received Text and others to be as true a translation as possible. I'll look up a printed copy
