I look more rad than Lutheranism
Hooray for jobs that recognize your awesomeness!
before I eased out of Fundamentalist Christianity, I believed in eternal security of the believer, ergo I'm no less Saved than I ever was, especially now that I don't believe Salvation is reserved only for a select few.
I feel this, in a BIG way.

Yay Calli and Amych!
Today was both more and less frustrating than I anticipated. No new issues, but old issues just hadn't been touched, and I didn't get through nearly enough work. Sigh. Not that I mind coming back to Burbank again soon but my schedule is pretty full in June and I don't WANT to add another trip.
But in exciting news, I have almost finished couch to 5k! About 25 5ks after I started trying. :). Today was the next to last one, but I hit the wrong button and know I ran more than the 28 required minutes. And possibly did the 30 I'm supposed to for the final workout. Yay!!

Woo, meara!
My coconut milk & chia seed breakfast failed to gel, so I had BK on the way in. And my phone was on my desk and not even completely out of juice, so today is better than it might be so far!

Can I ask a fundamentalist theology question? What is eternal security of the believer? I mean, I can figure out what it means based on the words, but I don't know the theology behind it. Of course, my religious background comes almost entirely from my academic training, so heavy on St Augustine and Renaissance and Reformation scholars.

From the way evangelical fundamentalists behave around here, it seems to mean that once you say you're Born Again you're saved and can be as judgmental, self-righteous, and downright nasty to anyone outside your church as you feel like without worrying about it counting as sinful.

Really? I was always taught that just because you were Born Again didn't mean you could blow off living a Christlike life. You could be saved but you could throw away that gift.
edit: But I was generic Methodist, not fundamentalist.
