Brief description:
A year ago, I would have said I am first century christian. Currently, I just want truth and to follow the Messiah.
I am married with four children, and their ages are 20, 17, 14, and 10. The oldest is adopted.
I grew up in a Catholic household, but early on, I began walking through the doors of anywhere in which I received an invitation. I checked out reformed doctrine in its various forms, Mormon teaching, Charismatic thought, and others and eventually settled into the church of Christ.
Study of scripture regarding the topic of marriage made me recognize the truth that a man can have more than one covenant. An honest assessment of my skills convinces me that I will never participate. Too many years behaving as taught by the typical western preacher and too many years referencing the wrong materials. I just have much to unlearn.
Profession: Design Engineer of Hydraulic systems for mobile off-highway equipment.
Purpose of participating here:
Currently I am spending time each day reading the book of Romans following each old testament reference that Paul makes. It is his longest sustained argument with a focus on both describing why the law is established and why we are not under law. Basically, I recognize there is something vastly important I do not grasp and I certainly can not describe. In other words, I am not torah observant. This will likely to be my personal area of study until I can clearly define the scriptural position.
Second Aspect of my purpose has to do with my legacy. My second son really caries that legacy. He has an inherent ability to operate heavy equipment, using machines to mold, shape, and build. He would rather be outside in the freezing cold than sit at a desk. I am seeking contacts and advice. I believe there will be a necessity to rebuild farms and homesteads in the near future. Reclaiming overgrown fields, resolving drainage issues, building animal shelters, etc would be necessary work, which he loves doing. Seeking contacts with homesteaders who have experience and can advise.
