My church has always explained that being a Christian isn’t a religion. It isn’t a list of “dos and don’ts” and it’s not just  “a” religion, it’s the TRUTH. being a Christian and believing in the Bible has always been a direct relationship with God to me.

Religion isn’t necessarily a “bad” word, but in my opinion I like to avoid it…[Read more]

*Sidles in* Okay, me answer too.

What is your denomination?

I am an Orthodox Presbyterian. Not a lot of people recognize it; it’s small enough that I’m familiar with many of the leaders from across the Southeast. To make it short, I’m a Calvinist. XD

Did you grow up with this denomination? Are you still growing up with it?Or did you convert to it…

The Psalms always be hitting hard…

😆 Yep

What about the word religion do you not like? By definition, belief in Jesus Christ or any other god is religious. But if there’s some bad connotation attached to the word that I’m not aware of, then that’s understandable.

I go to an Evangelical Church (it’s called Faith Alliance Church, and we’re part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance!)

Did you grow up with this denomination? Are you still growing up with it?Or did you convert to it yourself?

I grew up with it, but it’s always felt like home, so I would say I…[Read more]

@grcr

That makes sense.

@the_lost-journal

I am better at remembering people if I have a name to go along with them!

Same.

@the_lost-journal

Yeah, Anglicanism has been referred to as “Reformed Catholicism”.

I find this comment really intriguing! Could you explain?

I think it’s cool how they refused to murder the baby boys and lied to Pharoah to protect them.

@grcr

Do you have other believers with you, or is it just you and your family?

@grcr

If you don’t have a denomination, do you still go to church?

@raxforge

Oops, I didn’t realize Kefa had answered you yet.😅

2. I have been an Anglican my entire life, and I plan to stay an Anglican.
