😳 *Blushes* Errr… Well, it’s the result of too much experience in debates. 😅♥️ I appreciate the compliment, and I don’t think anyone here is acting too meanly. It’s pretty normal to feel triggered when your own beliefs are questioned. I feel that way all the time.

@stephie

I now step out of further discussion on this front XD

Lol I respect that. XD I also see how praying to Mary isn’t worship for a lot of believers.

@the_lost-journal

Oh I’m not leaving!

I think I might be able to rephrase what the others are saying. To us, it’s strange to pray to Mary because it is never mentioned in the Bible. It always says we should pray to God, it never says to pray to anyone else.

Acts 9:36-41: Peter prays to Tabitha, a disciple who had died. Hm, why would he pray to a…

If that means “religion,” wonderful. I love this religion.

YESSSS I AGREE!!!!!

Ooh, nice! His cowl is cool!

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

Maybe a little over a hundred? I think? Our old church was smaller though, closer to about 50 or 60 members.

What is one thing you disagree/don’t understand with a different denomination?

I think I could go on and on about this since there are little nuances in different d…[Read more]

See y’all, Stephie gets me

@stephie

😂😂 Accurate. I wondered if this topic was going to come up. The best part is, I’m a Protestant but I’m totally clocking out of this conversation. 🤣

@whaley

I will say the Catholic church has magnificent art and culture which I respect.

Ohhh yess I wholeheartedly agree!

I’m not going to say anything about the prayer-through-saints idea, but I will say the Catholic church has magnificent art and culture which I respect.

@rae @the_lost-journal

where in the Bible does it talk about praying to Mary or any other saint? And by Bible I mean the original 66 books, not the extra ones in the Catholic faith, since putting my personal faith aside, those books are controversial.

This is what I mean about “believing the Bible and ONLY the Bible”. Like, where in the Bible does…[Read more]

Bro, the art is super good. You’re dedicated and it clearly shows; well done.

@stephie

Hold up, get this girl a record deal.

@linus-smallprint

Do you have a plan for the front cover? (Ignore this question if you’re swamped with thoughts for the illustrations XD)

@rae

My grandfather and his second wife hate Calvinism with a passion. I do not wish to go into any further details besides the entire thing in the past couple years paired with the death of someone very close to my heart caused a rift between God and I that I am still trying to fix.

If that means what I think it means, your grandmother was a very…[Read more]

Oh, I should answer this question.

@the_lost-journal

A little. Still leaves some room for questions.

What I am understanding is, you believe that Jesus told us to continue baptism and such, but matrimony is more of just a bonding with one another under God, rather than holding any sacramental value?

I’m going to quickly define two words…[Read more]

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

Ummm it depends on the Sunday lol

We have a pretty big youth group that meets on Wednesdays (like 40-50) but only about ten of them come to church on Sundays.

Total services at my church would probably me about 40 people on average? I’m not sure lol…we have a lot of empty chairs…[Read more]

It legitimately fascinates me. Anyway. XD

Job is absolutely fascinating. The two God speeches at the end? What with the literary symbols from the time, his addressing of the two sides in Job’s dilemma, and tone of voice – God ate and left no crumbs.

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

My church had roughly 200 members last time I checked, many of which are children.

What is your opinion on Mary?

I mean, I like Mary. ^⁠_⁠^ I don’t believe in praying through higher saints because I don’t believe God pays more attention to anyone. God can hear me just as well by myself. But I don…[Read more]
