Dear Friends and others,
I want to thank you for letting me come to your forums. This has taken a long time to write and think about and I am sure everyone has written something like this before and might has reconsidered after they did. I just don't feel like I have anything in common with anyone here. People here are Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) and I am not, a majority of People for the most part seem not to like any Church and I am pro Church, I believe that Baptism is necessary for Salvation (Acts 2:38; 22:16; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:21), I believe in the authority of the Church and that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Tim 3:15) . I am a Traditional Liturgical Christian, most here are not. I believe in the Real Presence in the Bread and Wine, I believe in asking the Saints in Heaven for prayer as I ask you all for prayer sometimes. I believe in all the bells and whistles in the Church. There seems to be no mods or admins to get the worst offenders and they don't seem to care.
That is the main reason I feel that I really can not identify with most here and this place can bring out the worst in me for some reason. Since I am going to start seminary soon for the diaconate and the Priest hood if God wills than it is better if I left here.
I have mixed feelings about my time here, I want to say thank you for my time here and yet I am not sure either. I will stay through Easter and then delete my watch threads and all that. I felt like I should explain myself and not just abruptly disappear.
