A Brief Disclaimer

Since this is my first post on my new blog, a brief disclaimer, if I may.

1.) This is a Christian blog. I believe in the basic tenents of Christian faith; these being:
     a.) The innerant qualities of the Word of God.
     b.) One God as the Creator of all things.
     c.) The deity and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ as God incarnate.
     d.) The deity and personality of the Holy Spirit.
     e.) Salvation comes only through the gift of Christ on the cross.
     f.) The Trinity, in that God exists in the unity of three distinct persons; identical in essence.

2.) Second, I'm most likely going to deal with topics that will make some people
distinctly uncomfortable. Such as sin, in my own life or in the world at large.
Discussing sin generally makes people immediately get defensive or begin touting
the 'nonjudgmental party line'.

3.) I welcome comments or debates, as long as they remain civilized and
within the spectrum of congenial conversation. When they exceed that status,
I reserve the right to walk away. In my experience, in talking with others about
spiritual matters, if one or both parties become angry, everybody loses.

4.) Many of the so-called 'New Athiests', a term which seems to have fallen out
of popularity as of late, prefer presupposition and the use of ridicule in the forceful
establishment of their opinion(s).
The presupposition is that any belief in God or a god, is entirely unfounded,
and therefore deserving of mockery and outright derision.
I, respectfully disagree. Christianity is not stupid, although many of us can
behave in a stupid manner at times.
If you visit and feel the need to use ridicule as part of your arguments,
do not expect a favorable outcome.
