Just a thought

Precisely.

P.S. Is that "bible" BBCode tag equipped with different translations? Can one use it to quote from, say, NAS?

Probably not because of copyright laws.

bumping this thread to put my .02 cents worth in. I just changed my faith icon to Calvinism today, and while I was at it, took out the "years as a christian" number. I had had 19(?) on it. I was struggling with the very same thing. I grew up in a christian household and don't remember a time when I was not a "christian". Now, I can remember a time when I didn't "DO" much of anything about it, but that doesn't mean I wasn't a christian....I never had a "conversion" or anything like that, I just realized about 4 years ago there was more to christianity then just "believing". I was dis-satisfied with my church and went and found a new church home that really reaches out to people and really wants it's christians to grow and learn.
Anyway, today I just erased the 19(?) years and left it blank. I'm still not sure what I should put in there. I kinda like the 6000 years idea the OP had! It makes a point anyway!

So I'm new to Calvinism, and would ask that you all bear with me if I misrepresent you(PLEASE CORRECT ME), and ask alot of questions--consider me a "baby" calvinist!! LOL
