    New to Forum. But not to God.

    Hi folks

    A little bit about myself. I was brought up by my parents to "critically appraise" everything I was told. My dad was an engineer for Boeing, and my mum was a doctor in the emergency room. They were happy for years that this "critical appraisal" led me to lead what they called a "secular lifestyle" (whatever the heck that is).

    It was while I had those long summer's as a teen that I started to really "critically appraise" what was going on around me. So much misery the world over. I started studying my bible each day, and applying the "critical thinking" skills that my parents had drummed into me as atheists and folks with a science background. We'll, my eye were opened. Who could not read the bible and conclude that it is the word of God?

    Since then, despite being disowned by my family, I have gone from strength to strength spiritually, and it is The Lord that has given me his strength.

    Praise be to God.

    Steve.

    Hello, Stevie! Welcome to our friendly forum!

    If you have found God as you say you did, why does your nickname is "Definitely Atheist?" Or should I parse it as "Definitely at heist," since you've capitalized both A and T?

    Anyway. Where do you go to church? What is your favorite verse? (You surely have one, since you've been studying the Bible every day.) Do you have a wife? If so, how many sons do you have?
    God created fossils to test our faith.

    My favorite LBC sermons:
    True Christians are Perfect!
    True Christian™ Love.
    Salvation™ made Easy!
    You can’t be a Christian if you don’t believe the Old Testament.
    Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
    Jesus is xenophobic and so should we.
    Sanctity of Life is NOT a Biblical Concept.
    Biblical view on modern-day slavery.
    The Immorality of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
    Geneva Conventions vs. The Holy Bible.
    God HATES Rational Thinking!
    True Christian™ Man as a spitting image of God.

      Welcome Steve! Not often enough do we get a person here who objectively and honestly considers the Word of God(r) as factual as it is.

      How many sons has Jesus feel fit for your Man Seed(c) to generate?
      Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
      Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
      Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
      Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
      Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
      Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

        Isn't Boeing an American company? The only people who call their mothers "mum" are the girly British. You're not trying to hide something from us, are you?
