I am a Christian and an Information Technology professional living in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. I am an avid Organic Grower of plants, medicinal, floral, vegetable and fruits. I adhere to Sustainable Agricultural Practices and believe that we should all be moving toward a more sustainable culture.
[edit] Horticulture
Organic Grower of Roses, Vegetables, Herbs, and fruits. My main goal is to maintain a sustainable agricultural or more properly sustainable horticultural environment utilizing heirloom and rare plants. I prefer to avoid hybrids, except in roses, due to their inconsistent reproduction. Seeds need salvation also. Many varieties of plants are becoming extinct. As this happens the genetic information is lost, and our remaining plants will lack the genetic diversification that may be valuable to us presently and future generations.
[edit] Theological Position
I am a Die Hard Covenant Theologian. I am Reformed and a Fundamentalist although many fundamentalists reject the idea of a Covenant Theologian calling oneself a Fundamentalist.
I do not hold any animosity towards Dispensationalists but I do have serious problems with dispensationalism.
Full Blown Calvinistic and absolutely opposed to Hypercalvinistic teachings. I would associate with Arminians well before I would associate with the fatalistic Hypercalvinist teachings. I do not doubt the salvation of an Arminian as long as the object of their faith is Jesus Christ and not their own faith. A great example of a fantastic Arminian preacher would be John Wesley, the co-founder of the Methodist Movement. As a note: I consider George Whitfield (a Calvinist) another co-founder of the movement.
Postmillennialist of the Revivalist camp.
Although I do believe that Christianity will have overrun all aspects of social, political, and scientific life, I do not believe that this will be a result of our purposefully invading these realms of life. I believe that these aspects will naturally become “Christianized” by the ever increasing number of Christians in the world. I would warn against complacency in regards to the mentioned aspects of life though.
I have not come to a conclusive belief on the subject of weather a man is composed of a spirit and body, (dichotomy) or a spirit, soul and body (trichotomy.)
I am a Traducianist but do respect some liberty in this study as it does not necessitate an impact on soteriology. Mind you, this is not in relation to the creation of the world but to the creation of the soul.
[edit] Creation of the World
I believe that the God of the Christian Bible created the world in a literal seven days at aproximately 4000 BC.
[edit] The Martial World
I am a Practitioner of Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu as well as Chin Na Kung Fu. My Praying Mantis school is of the Wong Hon Fun Clan and one can trace its roots back to the originator of the art on the internet @ The Mantis Cave Click on the Qi Xing Tang Lang Quan Seven Star Praying Mantis Link on the right to view.
