       How did you arrive at your current Theological stance?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I was wondering this about others today. I’m Closest to an open
       view because I chose to try and strip as close to bare bones as
       I could when I came back to God. I wanted to learn as if I knew
       nothing except basic morality, and the Love of God through
       Christ and the Spirit. Because everything the local churches had
       been (while I ran from God) was more biased toward politics and
       focusing more on condemnation of others, than it was about
       showing others how to come to Christ. I’m really in the
       beginning stages of learning and most of my study is on my own
       while I pray to understand necessary passages in God’s own time.
       I also study on another forum that I like because there are a
       variety of different viewpoints presented and I feel that it
       reminds me to cut my own bias and assumptions from my studies.

       I wasn't correcting you just pointing out. Even at Theology
       Forums, our home forum, I've seen many people put "I dunno" or
       none or other things. For me, I was in limbo for decades, just
       all about me me me and what's in it for me. So, as a small kid,
       I knew and believed in Jesus Christ as my Saviour and I was in
       Catholic school until the middle of fourth grade.
       Transferring to Public School I was far ahead of the new fellow
       students in many subjects. I never completed my "confirmation"
       as a young Catholic but for the next 30 years I would tell
       people I'm Catholic while only have a 4th grade understanding.
       Although schools in that system were further ahead I tested at a
       9th grade vocabulary in 3rd grade.
       BTW, this forum is kinda fun when you start getting used to it.
       You guys are all Mods with lots of permissions.
       So then, comes Junior High and High School and all I did was
       smoke pot. I didn't want girlfriends but had some anyway. All I
       wanted was weed and my friends to cruise with and hang out with.
       I never finished my Junior year and got a GED. One full year of
       college and then stayed in the workforce and necer went back to
       school. Still could I suppose.
       Then I got a NIV Study Bible for my birthday from my cousin
       Sharon and browsed through it from time to time for 3 years. I
       never got into the NIV but I really did enjoy reading it and
       having all of the study notes and commentary. I started to read
       the commentaries more than the scriptures. Relying on the NIV
       interpretations. It didn't feel right.
       In about 2011 a let a friend stay with me who had just survived
       the Joplin MO tornado that destroyed everything including his
       place. He stayed for 3 months and did things for me like stain
       the whole deck in one day by himself, 2 or 3 coats. Surprised me
       and I felt guilty but thankful. My best friend. Perhaps he left
       the small KJV Red letter NT Bible there for me. It was in the
       open and he took everything else.
       I let that sit for 2 years and never really opened it, just
       looked at it. Out of maybe boredom or frustration with my
       spiritual state I opened it. It was easy to read because it red
       letter and small. Leather and comfortable to hold. I felt really
       good reading it and the words came alive. I understood what I
       was reading. After Matthew Mark Luke and John a few times I read
       Acts a few times. Then Romans blew me away until I got to 1 &
       Corinthians and Ephesians, Philippians Galatians Thessalonians,
       Timothy !!!
       I couldn't believe what I was understanding. I was wrong for so
       long. Then I decide to get on the internet and I was a novice.
       I think I Googled - deep thought - and some theology came up. I
       saw theologyonline and joined. At this point I was a huge
       follower of Paul's epistles and the revelations given to him by
       the risen ascended Lord Jesus Christ.
       I studied with the MAD gang and over 3 years there I firmly
       established my theology and doctrine. I know very little and
       learn everyday. But the wisdom and spiritual understanding I've
       been given by God is enough for me to know that I am saved and
       sealed with that holy spirit of promise, I have an inheritance
       and I'm a purchased possession, redeemed. Believing and trusting
       in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
       seals us. We are saved by the death, the blood of Christ. By
       grace, which was revealed to Paul first.
       That's where the debate comes with my theology because most want
       to follow Peter. I don't mind debating but I like reading and
       talking about it much more.

       I knew you weren’t trying to correct me PJ lol, I think I got
       used to everybody being set in their ways over there. This topic
       would probably get more hits over there too, but it doesn’t
       really seem to fit the mood over there right now. I never knew
       that you had any Catholic experience, all i’ve Ever been around
       is Baptists and agnostics lol. But yeah, I took up sort of a
       primitive version of Open View because, it felt the closest to
       studying like I had never heard anyone’s influence but God.
       Though, I still kept a belief in some basic things because, I
       guess they just feel right and honest and true, if anyone gets
       what I mean.

       Is that other forum the  great and outstanding
       [glow=red,2,300]Theology Forums[/glow]? If it's another that's
       great too. You're still young and my understanding didn't kick
       in until later on but that was my fault for ignoring God. You
       have the time and the desire to learn and you have a big brain
       ("check out the big brain on Brad").
       You are a blessing to us at theologyforums.com - Everybody is.

       It stand for Mid Acts Dispensation. Theologians are scared of us
       because we rightly divide the word of truth. Hah !!! Tambora is
       MAD and Crow and Bladerunner and a couple others - Many at TOL
       are and that's where I was fore 3.5 years before coming here.
       It's called Theology Online and they started in 1997. It simply
       consists of knowing that several things changed in the middle of
       the book of Acts, a very difficult book to know.
       I have the thread here and at TF that teaches Paul's doctrine
       which the only doctrine by which we are saved. The Bible says
       that, not me. The thread is called Salvation, Doctrine and
       Rightly Dividing and I post lessons from my favorite pastor at a
       grace bible study church in Indiana. MADs rarely lose a debate
       on scripture. You could read one post a day and learn more than
       me trying to explain.
       Same with FE, start on page one of the 80 page thread on TF or
       start fresh on the thread here. You don't have to bear down and
       study like for a test, but it will all start to sink in. If not,
       that's cool too. You may not be interested or ready or both.

       I love to Study and Paul most certainly is the Apostle for us
       gentiles :] I agree, I will look into this deeper.
