I'm back!

[Aaron]

Hi everyone!

I visited this forum a while back, asked a question about life after death, and then disappeared. Sorry about that! I decided I just needed to spend some time "seeking the Lord" and trying to find some answers on my own first. Also, around that time I made the decision to go back to school, which has eaten up a lot of my time! And shortly after that decision, I made an even more important decision, and proposed to a wonderful girl that I'd been dating for about a year (we've now been very happily married for 4 months! :D Keep us in your prayers!).

Since my last post, I've spent a good deal of time studying the Bible and some of the bigger doctrinal subjects of Christianity (such as soteriology, eschatalogy, ecclesiology, etc.) and have attempted to work out a consistent, systematic theology that satisfies both my heart and mind. I have arrived at some "conclusions," though I'm not sure if they are sound or not. I've discussed some of my ideas with others, and have gotten all kinds of reactions (anywhere from "that's really cool/interesting" to "that's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard of"). Anyway, I'm hoping that by re-entering the discussion on this forum, I can continue my journey of learning more about God and what he has done for us. Also, I would love to share some of my findings with y'all, and get some feedback!

Well it's about time you made it back here LOL ROFL.

First off, congratulations are definitely in order!!!!
May your love for each other bring you many years of precious blessings.

Aaron this is such a great place to both fellowship and grow in our respective journeys.
Feel free to start another thread or threads and bring up your views, thoughts, conclusions, and questions.

Great to hear from you again.

Hi Aaron, are you the same Aaron who used to post as "inkling" on another forum that no longer is running??

[Aaron]

Hi Laren,

Yeah, that's me! :) Good to talk to you again (we did talk before, right?).

yeah we talked some, but I mostly just read and followed your conversations with others.

But i actually saved some of your posts to my hard drive.

I'm interested in what you are thinking now. Post away when you get a chance.

I have a big test tomorrow, but after that I should have some time to get some thoughts out there. I noticed a thread on the resurrection, so perhaps I'll start with that. Some of my ideas probably won't seem as strange to you, since you're already somewhat familiar with them! Hopefully my ideas have become a little more well-developed since then (and more consistent!).
