Anthony,

First off welcome to the Highway. Second, please take your time here and don't dig your self too deep a hole. The administrator "Pilgrim" is here to help people concerning sound doctrine and their never dying souls on the way to eternity. He's not perfect wink but for the most part he presents what I believe is the best CONFESSIONAL, HISTORIC and WELL BALANCED doctrine on an internet discussion board .

Also, please don't take offence in my correcting you but could you please show reverence for the Lord Jesus's holy name by capitalizing His title of "Christ". I see that you seem to neglect doing so in you posts. If it is unintentional I apologize.
