Wonder what church you currently attend?
Welcome!I usually am averse to talking about myself in detail online but I figured if this place isn't the place to do it then there isn't anywhere on the web where I can. My name is Mitch and God saved me about 3 years ago after I left The Faith when I was 16. I was an Atheist for 7 years, sometimes militant and other times hateful but without a shadow of a doubt I was the epitome of arrogance. I had Severe PTSD from 13-25 from being around violent trauma and since being saved The Lord has had mercy & pity on me and has healed the debilitating anxiety through trusting in Him. I still exhibit behaviours from essentially being in fight for flight nearly every day for over a decade and thus can be rather OCD & meticulous regarding writing. For example this opening thread I've spent about an hour on. I love discussing The Bible, philosophical ideas & notions (that are always subservient to scripture), history, theology, Our Creator and how mind-blowingly awesome He is.
I try my best to love and follow God, though I do fail and stumble a lot. I'm very glad and grateful that He is persistent in His love. I am an SDA by upbringing but disagree with some doctrines of the tradition (Soul sleep being a major one), while at the same time I am exceedingly appreciative & supportive of other ones (Annihilationism/Conditional immortality).
Okay I think I have used the word "I" enough to last me the rest of the month. Thank you for reading and God bless all of you. I'm looking forward to contributing to this community and am appreciative of the ability to do so.
The fact that you've got your country marked as "Australia." Hehehehehehe
