Hello all,
I am a Christian who lives in the buckle of the Bible Belt in the USA. I've spent most of my life as a Southern Baptist but 7 years ago I joined a Non-Demoninational Church that part of the Acts 29 church planting network. We are technically non-denom because we are not affiliated with any denomination but theologically we are reformed leaning Baptist. Our small church book stand has a lot of John Piper, David Platt, Al Mohler, and Matt Chandler books.
I listen to The Grace Coalition Podcast, the Briefing with Al Mohler, and the White Horse Inn Podcast and am usually reading Christian/Theology/Church History books.
I was thrown a loop a few years ago when my son started dating a nice Catholic girl (who is now my daughter in law) so I researched Catholicism. I've read enough Catholic apologist where I can pretty much give you the list of Catholic arguments from memory. And while I learned a great deal about Catholic teaching and church history, I'm still not convinced. I've also learned a lot about Calvinist/Reformed Theology (going to a Reformed leaning church) and while I appreciate its depth I still haven't totally picked a TULIP.
I'm always interested in discussing the two things you aren't supposed to discuss in public. Religion and College Football. (where I'm from they are both religions)
I make every attempt to be kind and generous while holding fast to my convictions when interacting with others who may or may not have similar beliefs.
Anyway, my hope is that this is a good place for discussion with the occasional friendly debate.
