Title: Garden of Glory
Post by: Garden of Glory on May 17, 2006, 10:49:34 PM
I am a pastor and full time missionary, without denominational affiliation working for the Master by His calling in Asia.
I am a Blood bought, born again son of the Lord Jesus Christ. His life in me is the only source of righteousness; my love for Him compels me to study the Bible for myself, as this is my duty. I consider John 12:48 as covering the OT and the NT.

I have circled the globe many times, both as an unbeliever and as I child of the Lord. I have lived in Israel, Europe, Central America and all over N. America. I have met a king, a princess, many ambassadors of foreign lands and powerful folks of all stripes. I have slept on the floor of jungle huts with fellow christians, shared their simple meals, preached their church services and supplied them with smuggled Bibles.

I love Christian truths whatever the sources, barring no one on a denominational basis.

I reject "christian traditions", however hoary with age or venerated by "Church Fathers", Catholic or "Protestant". (See Mark 7:13) Age and repetition do not equate with Bible truth.

Hi Garden of Glory,

I'm pretty sure I have already welcomed you but in case I haven't welcome to Christians Unite. I have already read some of your posts and enjoyed doing so.

It does sound like you have some interesting experiences, many of which I have also had. I look forward to hearing some more about them.

Thank you for the welcomes.

I hope our time together will be for edification.

Perhaps I should be very candid:

I do not debate, respond to hurtful or angry souls and will not discuss politics or opinionize on current events.

It's just not my calling or burden.

I do not subscribe to many popular Christian concepts: I am not "Charismatic", "Dominionalist" or "Futurist".

Now that these "cats" are outta of their bags, I will let my future posts elsewhere establish themselves on the Rock, I pray.

Hello Garden of Glory,

WELCOME!!

If I already welcomed you elsewhere on the forum, two welcomes won't hurt anything. I sincerely hope that you enjoy Christians Unite. We have many sweet Christians here who love JESUS as the center and core of their lives. I look forward to reading your posts and having fellowship with you.

Love In Christ,
Tom
