introducing myself

[corrientes57]

Hola. I am living in south america since I married someone from here two years ago. I originally come from Illinois in the USA. I have only my wife to really talk to here. No one else speaks english well enough to say anything more than pleasantries. I long for some meaningful conversations about faith and what that means for people including myself that think like Martin Luther King did who said, "the church should not be the master, nor the slave to the state, but its conscience". So I believe my faith and others faith is vital to good government and the living of all since government cannot be isolated from out lives in that one of its major functions is defense and what greater sacrifice is there than to be giving your life or your childrens lives away for a war that government might deem necessary. Molech demanded the Canaanites give their children as sacrifice and atonement great blasphemy to the Israelites, so those who might say politics and governing are unimportant I would say to them sometimes they demand you give your life to them just as the above example shows the wrong headed canaanites did to Molech. In matters of life and death governments matter, but faith matters even more read Acts 5.29 to see.

Welcome to the Forms corrientes57!! Have you acquired the taste for yerba mate yet?

hola. Que tal? I tried mate several times. It tastes like I might imagine grass in hot water sucking through a straw might be were I brave or silly enough to try grass in hot water sucking the juice through a straw

 

[corrientes57]

Would be nice to get some back and forth going with anyone on here. I am so starved for talking with someone about anything meaningful. Still even though I am not spanish speaking I am glad to be here in my wifes country

Hiya corrientes57, welcome to CF, happy to have ya here

 

[corrientes57]

I am glad to have discovered this site. Hope I will be allowed to share my mind and heart with others. So far my sharing what I know with others has been with the secular world which does not accept me much but at least hears what I say. But I refuse to just sit back and curse the darkness instead I will light a candle of understanding

 

[Jimmy P]

Would like to invite you over to a thread I think you'd like...just be yourself and have a good time, speak on whatever you'd like...

What an interesting intro, welcome to CF!

Welcome. How many Lutherans in your area?

Where I live in Argentina no Lutherans I can find mostly all catholics. In bloomington Illinois where I came from lots Lutherans. My grandparents came from Norway and that is a country with a lot of Lutherans hence that is my background.

Hi there; good to see you on the forums; God bless His Word to you.

Ask your wife if she remembers General Peron? There were some very interesting times in Argentina when General Peron was around.
