While I can see your point, the Bible itself calls Christianity a religion.

@savannah_grace2009

Ok that makes sense. I think your Church just uses an unconventional definition of the word which isn’t what religion typically means. It just means “belief in and worship of a god or gods”. We believe in a God. The one and only true God.

So it’s just a silly definition mix up lol. We agree on everything else I think.

@loopylin

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…

I love those, they’re so nerdy XD I should reread that book

@stephie

Those are so great, I saved a couple to my phone lol

@raxforge

Sorry for the dumb question, my brain does not work properly, but who did they catch up to?

@savannah_grace2007

Me too, girl, me toooooo

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.

@loopylin

I try to read through the psalms whenever im going through hard stuff.

This is a really interesting topic to read through. Thanks for making it @the_lost-journal :]

@the_lost-journal

What is your denomination?

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]

Ah my answer sounds so weird. Do I make sense???

@the_lost-journal

lol 😄😁

Mmm… one reading… Multiple times a year, but only once in the day we do it. Am I understanding this weird/wrong? 😅

(btw, sorry if my answers are slow—I’m typing from my phone 😓🫤😬)

@grcr

That makes sense.

@raxforge

May I ask why?

Sure! We do church from home because God called us away from our last one. There were several unbiblical things going on in the last one that my family doesn’t agree with (issues I that haven’t really ask my parents enough about or remember well). So until God leads us to a new church, we are growing in him from hom…[Read more]

@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?

@the_lost-journal

No problem! 🙃

And as one of my friends said “Me and my family are non-denominational… which is basically a denomination soooo…. I don’t know.”

lol yeah 😄

@theducktator

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

No, we don’t go to church. We fellowship from home. 🙂

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

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