I used to be pretty combative. I’ve learned to be nice, after much trial and error. And belonging to a class where each of the eight students, my besties, are from eight different kinds of churches. They gave me a lot of character development. XD

@stephie

😳 *Blushes* Errr… Well, it’s the result of too much experience in debates. 😅♥️ I appreciate the compliment, and I don’t think anyone here is acting too meanly. It’s pretty normal to feel triggered when your own beliefs are questioned. I feel that way all the time.

@stephie

I now step out of further discussion on this front XD

Lol I respect that. XD I also see how praying to Mary isn’t worship for a lot of believers.

@the_lost-journal

Oh I’m not leaving!

I think I might be able to rephrase what the others are saying. To us, it’s strange to pray to Mary because it is never mentioned in the Bible. It always says we should pray to God, it never says to pray to anyone else.

Acts 9:36-41: Peter prays to Tabitha, a disciple who had died. Hm, why would he pray to a…

Benny is a fun character! Did Lois draw him?

Thanks!

No, actually, Lois doesn’t really do any cartoons. Brea drew him when she was a bit younger

@ellette-giselle

Hopefully that’s a good thing….. 😅

There’s a bunch of E’s and double letters. That’s all I meant lol

@linus-smallprint

Ooh, nice! His cowl is cool!

@stephie

*applause*

See y’all, Stephie gets me

@stephie

😂😂 Accurate. I wondered if this topic was going to come up. The best part is, I’m a Protestant but I’m totally clocking out of this conversation. 🤣

I’m not going to say anything about the prayer-through-saints idea, but I will say the Catholic church has magnificent art and culture which I respect.

@linus-smallprint

Bro, the art is super good. You’re dedicated and it clearly shows; well done.

@stephie

Hold up, get this girl a record deal.

@linus-smallprint

Do you have a plan for the front cover? (Ignore this question if you’re swamped with thoughts for the illustrations XD)

My grandfather and his second wife hate Calvinism with a passion. I do not wish to go into any further details besides the entire thing in the past couple years paired with the death of someone very close to my heart caused a rift between God and I that I am still trying to fix.

If that means what I think it means, your grandmother was a very…[Read more]

Oh, I should answer this question.

@the_lost-journal

A little. Still leaves some room for questions.

What I am understanding is, you believe that Jesus told us to continue baptism and such, but matrimony is more of just a bonding with one another under God, rather than holding any sacramental value?

I’m going to quickly define two words…[Read more]

It legitimately fascinates me. Anyway. XD

Job is absolutely fascinating. The two God speeches at the end? What with the literary symbols from the time, his addressing of the two sides in Job’s dilemma, and tone of voice – God ate and left no crumbs.

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

My church had roughly 200 members last time I checked, many of which are children.

What is your opinion on Mary?

I mean, I like Mary. ^⁠_⁠^ I don’t believe in praying through higher saints because I don’t believe God pays more attention to anyone. God can hear me just as well by myself. But I don…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I don’t fully know the reason why many denominations get rid of the sacraments. I don’t mean to offend anyone, I just don’t really understand what your belief is on them. Could another denomination friend answer my question on that?

Yup! *Dusts off my thinking cap* I can answer this!

So it isn’t that we get rid of already exist…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @power

I appreciate your explaining! 😁 Makes more sense now. I have heard some people think it’s necessary to exhibit one of those gifts in order to be saved, and while I don’t mind it when someone believes in those gifts, I’ve always been uncomfortable with the necessity of the thing. Anyway, thanks!
