Tell us about yourself

Preterist escatology. Conditional immortality.
Middle knowledge with regard to divine action.
Pro ID, progressive creation.

How would you describe yourself theologically?

orthodox but will draw outside the lines if evidence warrents it. Covenental.

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)

Not Karl Barth

I was talking with a pastor at a wedding some time ago and spoke of my interest in the ministry. He told me to remain a layman if possible and serve in that capacity. He said the churches at which he served lacked solid lay leadership (he was Preysbyterian, so that came as a bit of a shock). So, that's the route I'm on now.

Tend to be;ieve in common ancestry but definitly not a Darwinist. I suppect evolution takes place at the geneic level by some divine method. Not this is NOT theistic evolution but ID. Likely Behe's position.

So from this position, what do I do with Scripture? I see this as a literaly problem more than a scientific one and/or involving a definition of inspiersation other than verbal/plenrary
