All lower case RDLB, "rdlb" is what I have used for years around many boards. A former devoted Atheist to the tearing down of Christian belief systems and now a committed Christian, Pastor and Teacher of His Word for the past 4 decades. I prefer any word for word translation of the Scriptures to study and most often use my Nelson Strongs KJV to read and teach from. I do not consider myself to be an expert in the original Biblical languages, I use Strong's Exhaustive to help my understanding and attended a Koine Greek class in college. When as a new born Christian, I attended a variety of churches and discovered way too many differences of opinions concerning scriptural interpretations. I decided then to allow the scriptures to teach the scriptures and left the main stream orthodoxies.
I have no church label to identify with other than "His Church". I believe in Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers for the perfecting of the Saints, that they are set in "His Church". I believe in the gifts of the Spirit, given severally as "He" will. I also strongly believe that the revelation of scripture does not come from man, but comes from Jesus Christ to the individual as they are able to live in and from that revelation.
