G'day,
My first post and introduction here on this forum. I do not frequent too many boards outside of "Jeep enthusiasm" anymore but decided what better way to remain mentally active during the cold short days of Winter? My profile pretty much sums up my theological position and church attendance, but I am a member at a Conservative Lutheran Synod to save the click to my profile. I enjoy writing, have my own website and publish my thoughts on topics and subjects from time to time as a type of mental exercises. In these last years I'm learning more about the pious life, and whether synergism or monergism recognize that the pious life in application continues throughout a life long process of sanctification. That is, despite monergism, I must apply myself by the works of G-d in the process and life of holiness. I prefer the quiet peaceful life rather than activism today (whatever that means), preferring peace and quiet.
In case anybody is curious why I hyphen the L-rd or G-d etc., it is a reminder for me to not use the name of G-d in vain and to fear and adore "the name" (Hashem). I am educated in both "ancient" Hebraic and modern Hebrew (Sephardic) but far from a scholar. I am only second year learning and broke away from language studies despite being able to translate from that ancient language found on animal skins, cave walls, and clay pottery to modern Hebrew. Where I struggle is comprehension at this time though able to read and write in both forms, translation into the language of my native tongue requires extensive comprehension and inference in order to interpret in its final form (no direct translation often exists).
I live in Idaho but traveled throughout the states in my life during my time in military service and after relocating from Coast to Coast and everyplace in between. I tend to disengage quickly anymore from both political and religious "arguments" made by purple hair sleeve tats pig nosed pierced ringed advocates for their special interests but don't mind listening reasonable debate when based on solid premises, that is, when the premise G-d is the standard of morality and ethics is not overturned by what only sounds good (reason).
Hope everybody is having a blessed day,
Boom
