Hello! We have not talked in a while! how are things?!

Things are going really well! (Aside from being a little busy!)

Okay! I understand! So you are saying not to dwell on it? I wish I could take that advice… :[

Yeah, I mean once you’ve repented and been forgiven, the Bible says that as far as the east is from the west, so far h…[Read more]

Me and my sister will get DnD supplies soon! 😄 I found several friends to play with irl as well. None of us has experience, so I’ll have to learn the DM role by myself.

@beth-torres

A list of suggestions, because lists seem to help me. :]

1. SLEEP.

2. Think hard to see if there are any emotional problems holding you back. Maybe you’re comparing your work to other people too much. Maybe you struggle to connect with your first draft because it doesn’t have the same punch you expected it to have.

Then, if there…[Read more]

 I go through phases in my life where all my hobbies, particularly art and writing, feel very bland and aren’t fun anymore. I usually just wait it out and eventually I start liking it again.

This is exactly what I do. I get really obsessed with my hobbies,  and it’s all I’ll be interested in for a week, but then I’ll completely turn it…[Read more]

I will also add to 7 that women shouldn’t be able to hold a position in the church higher than that of deacon.

In the Catholic Church, it would be a possibility to have Deaconesses but not woman deacons. They have, however, been found unnecessary since we no longer baptize people naked.

(It would be weird to have a man baptize a w…[Read more]

Nooo, not Wyoh!

 What do you get out of church or Sunday service? (If anything? I don’t know)

Time spent with God. Knowledge from sermons. Community. Holy Eucharist.

How important is your denomination or lack thereof to you?

Very. I can’t ever see myself in another denomination.

 Do you think people can make mistakes interpreting the Bible? What wou…

Wyoh ate all my answers to my own questions.

@freed_and_redeemed

I might just try this. I’ve been wanting to do a music challenge for a while.

I already know one of them! (cue groans from my siblings who have to bear with me crying every time I hear it now. XD)

Alright so I have questions for everyone or for @the_lost-journal

1. What do you get out of church or Sunday service? (If anything? I don’t know)

2. How important is your denomination or lack thereof to you?

3. Do you think people can make mistakes interpreting the Bible? What would a solution to this be, if there is one?

4. Is there anything…[Read more]

Funny story …. I used to think that Pentecost… and Holocaust… were the same event…. uhm…. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS!!!!!

For me it was dollar and hour.

Escalator and elevator.

We have a piece of furniture called a secretary, and my siblings and I thought it meant cemetery,…[Read more]

Jk I’m fine, I was trying to answer that before I had to go to school. It was like fifteen minutes before I had to catch the bus but I was NOT willing to leave it be. I started it and I was GOING to FINISH it.

Anyway.

Okay, but don’t you think it is a little… robotic…? to just say: “the Bible and C.S. Lewis told me so!” Or a little childish? Well, of course if the Bible tells you something you should probably listen to it (obviously) but don’t have your own opinion on the matter? Like WHY does the Bible and Lewis say that?

I would be careful…[Read more]

What are your thoughts on Jesus having siblings?

I think He had siblings. Joseph did take Mary as his wife (Matthew 1:24-25), so it’s natural to assume they had children together. Matthew 12:46-47 talks about Jesus’ mother and brothers wanting to talk to Him. Matthew 13:55 also indicates that He has at least three brothers and several…[Read more]

What are your thoughts on Jesus having siblings?

I think it’s quite plausible that they were his cousins, since we know that Mary had a sister, who was also named Mary, and was the wife of Clopas. We also see what seems to be this Mary called “Mary, the mother of James and Joseph.” But Jesus’ mother is not referenced that way throughout the rest…[Read more]
