Cloaked Mystery

@loopylin

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.

The literal definition of the word, I agree with. Like you said, technically it is a religi…[Read more]

Don’t worry, we’re not fighting! lol, we’re just asking questions <3

@the_lost-journal

No, I didn’t think that at all.

@esther-c @anyone else

Good news, it was not a seizure. Please continue to pray, he’s doing okay right now, but something is definitely wrong. Can’t say for certain what at the moment.

@the_lost-journal

Yes, I’m going to try to get one done today. I have to work on an art assignment that’s due today rn though ): (I guess I shouldn’t procrastinate on these things 🙄)

@the_lost-journal

Thanks for the tag! I don’t have time to answer now, but I’ll try once I get back from my winter camp.

@the_lost-journal

Ok, thanks! And that’s cool!

Could you all please pray for my little brother? We think he just had a seizure.

@the_lost-journal

Do you have a description or Rapha? I was imagining her was a human, but is she some sort of fish person?

@jonas

😳😬 My bad, I thought it was a she. But I guess not. What the normal procedure for misgendering a character, 10 lashes, banishment, or what? Lol, jk

@loopylin

Nah, you’re all good, I should have been more clear. They’re running with Ellis

@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]

@loopylin

Me too, girl, me toooooo

The Psalms always be hitting hard…

@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]

hopefully we can continue this conversation tomorrow

@theshadow and @the_lost-journal

Uuuugh! I have so many more questions that I want to ask, and I love this conversation so much!!! But I’m skiing tomorrow so I need good rest. Good night one and all, and to all a good night!

@the_lost-journal

Interesting! Oh, boy, I love this conversation! Okay, one more question for today then I should hop into bed: If that is the case with saints, why not directly pray to God and give him full credit for the marvelous deeds he can do?

@grcr

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

May I ask why?

@theducktator

I’m not sure…maybe the Hebrew midwives from Exodus.

Oooo, nice, that’s a good one

@the_lost-journal

He is in the book of Jude… He is in the New Testament and is one of Jesus’ disciples.

Oh, ok, gotcha, sorry, I thought you were talking about someone in the Septuagint (idk if I’m using this term right, please correct me if I’m wrong), I’ve never referred to him as St. Jude since I don’t believe that we should pray to sai…[Read more]
