| Posted 1/23/2002 5:21 PM (GMT -6) |   | Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself, as I posted here, and people probably have absolutely no clue who I am.
Name: Sean
Age: 18
Denomination: None (though I associate a lot with the Evangelical Free church)
How I found this web site: Surfing on the internet.
Theological beliefs: Other than Christ rose from the dead to save me from my sins, the trinity, and other central doctrines (which I won't take time to give an exhaustive list), I haven't decided yet because everytime I decide, I begin to doubt myself.
Other information: I'm a philosophy major who likes classical music, books (gotta love books), and debate (makes me a non-favorite at my school...haha). I did have another name signed up here, but I forgot what it was, so I use this screen name. If you want any more information about me, feel free to ask.
Sean

| Posted 1/25/2002 3:07 AM (GMT -6) | | Deerfield, eh? I used to live up north near Gurnee--do you know where that is? I checked out Trinity before, is that where you go, I decided it was to expensive and the commute would be to great--besides the fact that eventually I decided I was not called to a christian school. Welcome to the board! Talk to ya later bro.
Blessings

| Posted 1/25/2002 3:57 AM (GMT -6) | | Deerfield? Are you going to Trinity? I'm looking into Trinity for Grad school, but haven't decided if I want to go the Christian route or stick with pagan universities :).
Good to have ya, Sean,

In short: Yes

To tell the truth, I haven't made up my mind as to wither I want to go the Christian route or not (there's time to change my mind still).

I used to live up near there-Round lake park. So, in conclusion, I do know where gurnee is (though I could never tell anyone how to get there- my sense of direction is terrible)

Omni is used too often, and the meaning is too vague now. Do you mean omni as in the literal sense of "all" or in the special god-sense "infinite"? I personally would drop all the traditonal theological phrases, due to this little muddle we have about how "omni" is defined, except it might irritate my hyper-reformed friends .

I mean 'omni' as in "friggin' omni-benevolent being!!!" I guess I shouldn't joke about that with a newcomer cause you probably don't know what the heck I'm talking about. That's Meph's favorite omni.
I like discussing the omni-present one. All or infinite? I don't know. You're the philosopher.
