Hey all you newbies out there, I haven't been on the boards much recently, so I haven't even seen who is new and who has come and gone...
However, for all the newbies that are coming or still here, wanted to give you all a HEARTFELT welcome to the boards!!
Even if you are a newbie, coming BACK, you are still welcome here! The boards are always a bit "rough" because we are bringing together so many from so many different backgrounds, but don't let anything cause your faith to falter, as even direct conflicts against what you believe can only strengthen you! When we are questioned on our faith, or given information that we haven't contemplated before, it causes us to look deeper and to better evaluate what we DO believe, and we should be consistently looking at ourselves, at our faith, to see if it stands up to the test of God....not to the test of others, but of God.
Here are some resources to help you with your journey:
www.crosswalk.com
www.kjvbible.net
www.blueletterbible.org
And crosswalk and blueletterbible both have some fascinating commentaries, concordances and other info to help you fully research anything you want to know!
God bless you all, and again, WELCOME TO THE BOARDS.
if you ever need anything, or have any questions (particularly if you need help finding anything on one of those sites ) please feel free to pm me. You can do that by clicking on my username, and then scrolling down to where you see "send this user a private message." I try to come here daily, but sometimes I am unable to. But I check my messages at LEAST once a week, even if I don't have computer access. I am also a moderator here, so if you have any problems, you can also pm those concerns to me as well.
Have fun!
