You're Extreme! (Or Why I Think You Are A Hateful Fundamentalist)
Some people think I'm rather extreme. No! Never! Heh.
Okay, perhaps I am, in their mind. But people like me won't think I'm extreme, now would they?
I have always strived for that elusive balance: Holiness & Theology. Both I consider important, though more than always I have leaned toward the latter, probably because it's way easier to accomplish than the former.
But enough with that. I'm not a fundamentalist. I hate to call people heretics. I even dislike (God help me!) certain aspects of theology that I've still accepted because the Bible supports no other.
I often have been called nasty as well as nasty names. Perhaps. And if so, I ask for forgiveness. It was never my intention to sound that way. I always try my best to be loving, like Jesus did. Though then again, he didn't sound very loving all the time.
Perhaps this would be a good time why I chose the name Think Christ for my blog. Its meaning is twofold: To think like Christ, to do what he did, to teach what he taught, and to think of Christ, at all times and places. That's my goal (among many others), that I hope I accomplish.
