The Narrow Path Ministries

Hello! I've been here for 6 months, but I never introduced myself.

Christian, male, 33, Texan. I was raised by Christian parents/missionaries, and our family attended southern baptist or non-denom/evangelical-free churches/schools throughout my youth. My theological views and depth were about what you'd expect.

About 10 years ago, I happened across Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary written by some guy I'd never heard of. I read it and I decided that this "preterism" actually made a lot of sense. But it was very casual. No one else read the book, the issue rarely came up again, and I all but forgot about it.

But ~8 years later, my mom switched to partial preterism. When she mentioned it to me, I said, "Oh yeah. Me too, I think. I should read that 4 views book again." I looked for the book, but couldn't find it. (Even now, no one here can remember where it came from or where it went.) I eventually found it online. Then a click here and there, and I wound up at thenarrowpath.com. I started listening to TNP... and listening... and listening. I really liked Steve's teaching and his teaching manner. Longer story short, here I am.

I'm not any kind of expert. I don't usually like to debate or conflict. My own posting rule: Shorter!

I have been encouraged and enlightened by my time here so far. I hope it will continue!

P.S. The name "Singalphile" is not significant. "Single file" kind of fits the "Narrow Path" theme, and I changed the spelling for uniqueness.

Thanks for the intro Singalphile.

a fellow texan, cool man. i always wondered about your screen name. i wasn't sure if it was like you said, or a clever way of declaring "one love". thanks for clearing that up. though, interestingly it does require only one love to walk the narrow way.

thanks man

I thought the name meant "I love being single."

Nice intro Singlephile, glad your here! Did you go on any missionary trips with your parents? God bless you and yours. P.S. I thought the same as Paidion re: your username, it was my guess

Oh yeah... that didn't even occur to me.

And, no, I don't particularly care about being "single".

Bud asked:

Not really. I was born overseas during their full-time missionary days (in Europe with Campus Crusade for Christ), but they moved us back to TX when I was 3.

Thank you, all.

I enjoyed reading about your life after being in such heavy discussion with you! It is funny how a book can show up and disappear again - I have heard of it happening with people - a 'book angel'? Bless you!
