I was born in 1985 and grew up as the son of a Baptist, church-planting missionary. As a result of living in the West Indies for so many years, I enjoy torrid weather with occasional hurricanes. I am a Baptist. I believe that there is one God, that He is completely perfect, and that he has intended the Bible (specifically the KJV for the English-speaking people) to be his very words to those capable of understanding it. If something appears to contradict the Bible, then I must both question what I know from the Bible (to see if I misunderstand it) and seriously scrutinize over what seems to be a contradiction. If the case cannot be resolved, then I trust God's Word and reject the apparent contradiction. Like God, I assume that the Bible is completely perfect. I am a human by design and a Christian by choice. My faith in God cannot waiver, and my mind is open to His truths and His works no matter how bizarre they may seem. Jehovah is my Father, and His banner over me is love. What you just read may be a description of my religious background and stance, but as a child of God, it is the most important self-description I can possibly give. It is a definition of my identity.
