Icthus wrote:Hello all. I've been lurking around this forum for quite some time, and I figured I might as well come out of the shadows at some point. I am a 22 year old graduate student in English Literature with a more than passing interest in biblical studies. While my knowledge of philosophy, science, and especially theology could certainly stand to see some improvement, I'm fairly familiar with biblical scholarship and hope to prove valuable to this board.
And, no, in choosing the name "Icthus" I am not claiming to be God. I just like the acronym. This is my first online forum, so a bit of patience may be required concerning my user interface skills. In any case, I'm pleased to be here. There are a lot of intelligent, informed users on this board representing a wide variety of stances on Christianity, and I look forward to contributing.
*fist pump* Love seeing people my own age here. Sadly I'm still an undergraduate and almost 24 years old.... yeah I'm taking my time. Anyway, welcome!
Hello my name is Mitzy obviously I am 29 and a stay at mom for the time being. I came across this site when doing some research on some subjects. It seems like a good place to get to know other Christians and be able to have some good conversations with understanding people.
Welcome to all the young newbies, from the oldbie.

Thanks for welcoming me to the forums! I've been eavesdropping for a little while, and I'm really impressed by the sincere, open and intelligent discussions that you share with one another.
I used to be a Christian. I don't have that faith anymore, but it's a very comforting memory. I hope you'll be patient with me--there are so many things I'd love to talk about. I promise I have no agenda--not for restoration of my own faith or for attempted damage to your faith--I just think I can learn a lot here. I look forward to our future e-fellowship!
Welcome, I hope you find what you are searching for.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

I've used the home site on many occasions for research and never realized there was a discussion forum until now. Glad I did because it's good to be with Christians, even e Christians. I'm not an expert but I have debated atheists in the past and found the home site useful.
I became a believer in 2002, in my early 40's and immediately set about satisfying the sudden hunger for God's word. I'm happily married. I'm a layman but I have done some preaching just out of love for God and his word. I enjoy talking about Jesus and listening to different perspectives on Christianity. Look forward to sharing mine and growing in Christ with you.

Hello, forum, and my username is Dudeacus97. I came to this forum in order to learn more about Christianity and to get help in developing a personal relationship with Christ.
I am heavily interested in apologetics, but don't have any real-life experience in debating with or talking with people. I'm also younger and not as experienced as most people on this website, so don't expect me to be as knowledgeable.
I don't know what else to say besides I'm autistic, I write scripts for a TV show I made up (It's complex), and I like video games, especially my favorite, Dante's Inferno.
