Evang.Benincasa? He's the resident member most likely to quote from the film Conan The Barbarian.

Re: newby
My name is Aaron. I am one of the admins here. Welcome to the forum.
As far as what threads are getting a lot of traffic, I recommend heading to the Debate Section, under Godhead. There's some good discussion happening right now.
Otherwise, the forum is yours. Check out whatever suits you and let's hear from you!

March on Washington, hammer your political views against the heads of the unbelievers, those who oppose your political soteriology. You see this is the quandary, you only see jewelry, suits, skirts, bow ties, a haircut and a shoe shine as legalism. When in fact feigned love is legalism. But, think about it, contemplate this on the tree of woe. Who you are in the dark who who you really are. Deep within the recesses of your thoughts. You know, some men do in their minds what serial killers physically do. Is it any less wicked? A married man looking at a woman lusting after her in your mind. Is it any less wicked then someone wanting to kill the president of the United States in their mind? Legalism? Oh I love you brother, allow me to pray for your situation. It is said because words cost us nothing. Words roll off the lips with no pain, smooth without sweat of labor. Yet, if they aren't truly established in our soul, deep within us and part of us, then it is legalism.
i don't mean some sweet sugary romantic love, that is sick. But a love bathed in forgiveness. Because to truly forgive your enemy is loving him.
So, you love Donald Trump.

Excellent point my brother. Legalism can manifest in countless ways. Thanks for helping to keep us sober. Stay thirsty my friends.

Hey, why not both? LOL
No, seriously. I meant, "stay thirsty" in the sense of remaining spiritual thirsty for the Spirit's presence and power in our lives.
Besides, back in the day I preferred Jack Daniel's over Dos Equis. My logic was, why drink half the night to get the job done?
