And I’m glad you like the idea!! 😊

@freed_and_redeemed

That was actually my original idea… 😏 I might try it. I definitely agree that it could be really powerful.

We’ll see where the story takes me I guess. I’ll probably try writing it sometime soon. Maybe next month? Although I’m gonna be working on a different WIP over the summer. The plot takes place during the school year, b…[Read more]

@esther-c I love the story story/novella idea…a lot!

 

But I am going to maybe go against the norm here😂

I think it would be more powerful if she wasn’t redeemed.

Hear me out.

 

If she was a fairly good person in the beginning but allowed jealousy to consume her, though she can be redeemed if you want,…[Read more]

Hey!! Good to see you again!

Ooh, cool! I’ll try my best to get to it soon. (Maybe be summer break, but hopefully before then. XD)

@grcr

Thanks a lot! And no pressure! It’s not like you have to read the entire thing! Whatever you wish to read.

Sorry, everyone!

Thank you, Trailblazer, for helping me!

@whalekeeper

It is more normal to me, yes. (although I haven’t necessarily been “raised” in this church…only been going to it about 6-7 years now, haha) I believe in such experiences, but I can’t explain how it feels to be in that moment, honestly…words just can’t describe it. Idk.

We all have things we are or aren’t comfortable with, and…[Read more]

@theducktator

Does your church believe this too, and does 5 mean that you don’t think parents will be held at all accountable for their children’s actions? I’m not trying to start a debate. I’m just curious.

You’re good, girl! I like discussions! Talking about what I believe is fun, tbh :3

Yes, we do believe in those 5 founding truths. Yes, nu…[Read more]

and not all Church doctrine is Biblically sound, either. But I’m not going to get into that.

@whalekeeper

*Assumption detector* Sorry 😅 I would like to stress real quick, belonging to a denomination doesn’t mean we believe church tradition is that important.

Plus, isn’t church doctrine an organized confession of Christian beliefs? It takes God’s word and summarizes it understandably. It’s just one way of professing and sticking to it. I’…

@whalekeeper You’re good. I understand you’re not trying to be rude <3

What did you do then?? 🤣

We stayed in a place of worship for two hours.

Yes, we sang and prayed and did worship for two hours without a sermon.

 

It was absolutely A M A Z I N G

 

y’all…like…I still don’t know what to say about it.

 

I felt God so close. People were…[Read more]

My grandparents (on Dad’s side) are Baptist and have been raised that way as far back as I know, and being in the South, most Christians I meet are Baptist, so I’m pretty familiar with Baptist beliefs…but I could still learn a whole lot more for sure!

@theducktator

I went to a church at a camp recently that I think was Non-Denominational. It was fun, but I was kind of confused by the lack of structure. XD

Understandable. Non-Denominational churches tend to be more lenient on how we do things, haha. This past Sunday, we didn’t even have a sermon because our pastor felt God lead him to not do so…[Read more]

it’s also interesting with my church though, because we’re renting it, basically.

The church building actually belongs to a Messianic Jewish church who use it on Saturday morning, we use it on Sunday Morning, and an African Pentecostal Church uses it on Sunday afternoons.

So it’s really interesting/fun to see all of us using the same building <3

@thearcaneaxiom Ty for understanding and for your kindness <3

I’m still here to kindly discuss things if anyone would like, just not for debate 😊

@theducktator Youth Group can be fun for sure! I have also gone to a more local church’s youth group (my actual church is 1 hour away from us, and we tend to have to be there at 9 AM on Sundays for…[Read more]

what I said above is my church specifically, btw

@theducktator I have never met an Anglican; that’s actually really cool!

Wellll, ok, it really depends on the Non-Denominational church.

I would say the church I attend is probably closer to Baptist, but there are also many variations of Baptist churches.

Simply put, a Non-Denominational church is a church that doesn’t belong to a specific…[Read more]

@trailblazer @whalekeeper @theducktator

Trailblazer is 100% right about what she said about Youth (although my church’s youth group is comprised of, like, maybe 6 kids on a regular basis??? And three of those are me and my siblings😅)

I am curious like Trailblazer, tbh! What kind of churches do y’all belong to? (and Trailblazer, too, what about…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

After some prayer and some reflection, I kindly request that we leave this debate where it stands.

I’ve been thinking on it too much, and truthfully gives me an ounce of stress I don’t need right now.

 

It’s also obvious that neither of us are going to change our stance, and KP isn’t the place to debate theology (in my opinion)…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Okay, I’ll try that.
