Thanks!! We’ll see what happens 😅

Nice signature lol

@orangearmadillo

It’s this, lol sorry the link didn’t work in my profile

@freedomwriter76

Yes. I know many people stick to certain denominations, and I have nothing against it, but for me personally, it isn’t something I’d prefer.

Yeah, and that’s great. We are all on our own separate paths in making covenants to the Lord. As long as we are sincerely and humbly seeking Him out, He will reveal His truths to us line upo…[Read more]

@ava-blue

Thanks, that means a lot!

That’s actually not how the LDS Church works, Very different culture in that regard😅 We are a single worldwide church, united under (what we believe as) divine priesthood authority, having modern day prophets, seers, and revelators. Though there are a small handful of split off groups from when the Church was…[Read more]

So I’ve thought about predestination a bit after learning about Calvinism / John Calvin in History/AP Euro class. If you would like me to talk about the historical aspects of Calvinism I can. (I like to use history to do apologetics stuff as history and literature are my main areas of study)

Additionally I was t…[Read more]

@ava-blue

Great! I love it when my point of view is challenged, as long as it is with respect. That is how we become stronger in our faith and testimonies. I’ll be waiting with enthusiasm!

(Btw, could you use the proper name? We don’t like to be referred to by Mormons, it’s actually a slur. We prefer the full name The Church of Jesus Christ of…[Read more]

Hey all, just poking my head in after, oh, half a year or so 🪦 (sorry bout that)
I’ve skimmed all the messages in this topic and I wish I had more time to respond.

@thearcaneaxiom I would love to challenge your stance on Mormonism, but I’m going to have to read up first 😉

And @orangearmadillo I love how passionate you are about bringing others…[Read more]

@folith-feolin @orangearmadillo

I completely agree on what you’ve said concerning gender ideology, and it was in the subtext of what I said about technology. My Church is very firm with the Proclamation to the Family, which is simply collecting and reaffirming what we already believed:

@orangearmadillo @light-warrior-pen

Absolutely! Does God not want all to come unto Him, every Man and Woman, Jew and Gentile, Race, tongue, and culture. It simply doesn’t make sense that God would intentionally force one to bitterness, then punish them for it, that wouldn’t be a loving God, but a vain and hateful one. I think it’s good to point…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @orangearmadillo @light-warrior-pen

Well there’s also the topic of predestination to keep in mind (if we are open to that)

Also, hi

@thearcaneaxiom @orangearmadillo

You all took the words out of my mouth. It wouldn’t make sense for God to harden Pharaoh’s heart because He wants everyone to repent and turn to Him. I agree with you two.

@orangearmadillo

Maybe, but chronologically, Pharaoh says no, then the plagues come, Pharaoh says he would let them go if they remove the plague, they remove the plague, then his heart was hardened and he says no again. The issue with the plagues being the hardening is that it says his heart was hardened after the plague was removed. Of course,…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @keilah-h @orangearmadillo @anyone else

Okay, so I’m not the only who thinks it’s the school system and technology 😂 I also wonder if it’s because Christians don’t really have any heart in their religion anymore. If you think about it, there are some Christians who think about God on Sundays and when they do their quiet time. I…[Read more]

Sooo yeah I got super busy out of nowhere, so this chapter is way late, but here’s Norok’s 2nd POV!

Norok slowly rose to his feet as the guard held the spear inches from his chest. He tried for a casual smile, difficult with sharp teeth jutting out of his maw, and put a claw…[Read more]
