I am really quite boring. Just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody. I'm on SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) because I have been diagnosed with a severe and fairly rare mental illness called Schizoaffective Disorder which is basically a combination of Bipolar and Schizophrenia without being a full dual diagnosis. I love extreme Christian Metal, but I love Hymns as well. Just an overall music lover. I need to study more and not post online as much. I am writing a book currently with the working title of "Schizoaffective Disorder and Christianity: In search of the Truth of God's Sovereignty and Human Freedom."
As far as my beliefs go, I have been all over the map, but I am now a very committed Christian. Some of my prior beliefs are Agnostic, Atheist, and Pantheist (of all things). Then in August 2018, I met a man who changed my life forever. He explained the Kingdom of Heaven in a way I had never heard before. Since then, I have started to look into Apologetics and Theology. At one point, I argued for God from Free Will, but then I became a Calvinist only to land somewhere in the middle as a Compatibilist. My philosophy on Salvation is that God picks some unequivocally for His glory, but this doesn't mean they are the only people saved, as I think God clearly provides a way for everyone. Notable is that I think every person has a specific nature that pre-orients them to how they will respond to the Gospel. Many examples are given for this in the Bible, but I think a striking one is that God rose up Pharoah, knowing how he would respond to Moses. You could say Pharoah was the antithesis of how God chooses, which is the opposite of how God chose Moses.
If there's anything else you want to know, you can PM me.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, I admit I am fallible. We are all fallible.
