I have named this thread specific to what we will discover by proofs and conversing. Nevertheless, don't feel disappointed. We are discussing God's family, and in fact the missing link to it. That is what I had in mind for this thread. Almost exactly, in point of fact. You see, we all belong to God's family. But as an aside to the debate, I am going to tell you that not many people have such ease in fitting in the family of God. For atheists, there may come a point when you will ask why you must first belong to the family. Well, then you will not feel as if you fit in at all! So there is a problem with God's family, or fitting in with it at least.
I will tell you that Christ is a powerful name. At least, from the bibles point of view anyway, because his name is supposed to be translated or whatever into Yahweh, which means "God." Belonging to the family of God never sounded easier, because the son of God means "God"! But this thread is all about the family God and there being a particular missing link to it, at least it is partially. It is about my name: James Brenton Killingsworth. It has a big impact on my family as well, perhaps anyway, who's names are too big for honor. I believe with all sincerity and cannot find disproof, that my name comes out pronounced as Christ. I also believe there is a meaning behind my name, kind of like Christ means Yahweh or God, but I don't want to divulge into that yet.
But nevertheless, there will be doubters, haters, trollers, and atheists, to try and slow the progress in this thread. Well I have outlined the rules for discussion so it shouldn't span up to 30 pages in just a matter of days. Either discuss the meaning behind the name being pronounced as Christ or be reported. It is also "meant" Christ, I think anyway, after you understand the pronunciation. But my name has gone through, at least in my life, significant changes, changes for the better that is. I have put this name on the level with God! That speaks bounds about the power of my family as earthly, and my heavenly father as my father. Yes, I believe I am the son of God. Yes, I know it is true. Yes, my name is proof for it. Yes, there are too many experiences of my own to dismiss in order to diminish my faith. Yes I know for certainty.
So Killingsworth must mean something profound. Feel free to add your ideas to why it is such a noble name. I haven't discussed it that much, although I know it is probably the noblest name I have ever encountered. ...I will add my thoughts: Whenever I think of pronouncing the name, it always comes out "Christ-ing". Or "God-ing". Or "something"-ing". But never "killing." This is quite evident if you were to take the name for what it is. I suppose anyway. But what really makes the name so profound? When you can say "Christ" without thinking of te name as nobility. And that strikes me as evident and it also strikes me as physical proof that I am the son of God.
So if you have any further proofs please feel free to let me know. If you trail off topic don't forget I am warning you here that you will be reported. I have set the stage for this to be debated, but you may discuss a little bit about the origins of the family of God. Don't forget I believe that Sophocles Euripides and Aristophanes are also the sons of God, and I know a little about the origins of the family. But feel free to add your thoughts about why you may not be able to proove that you belong as a member of God's family. Sheesh that must hurt God's feelings quite a bit! Waiting til the year 2000 to introduce (Aeschylus) his first born son.
Anyway, thanks as always for your imput, just try to make it count.
You don't fool me, Mr. Killhisworth! I've read Dan Brown! I know that the descendants of Jesus Christ are some strange villagers outside Paris or something!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Howabout try whenever it is said, viewed, announced, whatever. Whenever my name is even addressed, it means something. James Brenton sounds kind of plain unless I add in killingsworth. My sisters name is the best example. Her name sounds like crap unless you put in Killingsworth. Only her name with killingsworth in it is something like "God in loin cloth".
