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.
