I meant within the service.

@theducktator

Ok, cool!

What do you mean by structure? Like within the local, individual churches or broadly, like all of them?

@esther-c

Are y’all talking about non-denominational churches? I’d be willing to answer your questions about them, although I can’t guarantee that my answers would be true for every non-denom church.

Indeed. For context, here is what I said in my first post:

For not understanding, I don’t understand the whole set up of a contemporary non-den…

I fully believe there isn’t a single human being on this earth who worships Mary.

I mean, like Stephie said, there could be, but I’m not accusing anyone particular of this. I’ve just heard of people treating her that way and wanted to express my opinion on that. : )

I disagree with this a little. You cannot go off JUST the Bible, you need prayer too. And plus others can teach you a lot about God. So no, I do not “just” believe in the Bible.

Well…

Yes, you do need prayer, and God can reveal things to you. But God will NEVER say something to you that contradicts the Bible. If the Bible doe…[Read more]

@stephie

Lolll, true. This Protestant’s probably going to stay out of it. XD

@rae

Mostly what I don’t understand with different denominations is how people can read their Bibles and still believe what they believe.

If I answered, I’d become the enemy of a lot of people.

Now I’m curious…If you do answer, I promise not to burn you at the sta…[Read more]

@trailblazer

But the one thing that does frustrate me sometimes is using colored lights and fog and other “special effects”- like what good purpose does that serve? It usually ends up being more distracting to me.

You aren’t the only one. Our very traditional church had another pastor visit as a parishioner on his day off. He said he was tired of…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal   Yay, more questions!

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

Probably around 60 people total. I just counted 58, but I probably missed a few people. I’d guess on a given Sunday we usually have 45-50 or so.

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

I’m probably going to start an arg…[Read more]

Classmate 1: “Guys! I have the answer!”

Classmate 2: “Crack!”

Text exchange with my mom:

Me: “We are out of bird seed, suet, and grapefruit.”

Mom: “And I am at the eye doctor.”

Me: “I know. If you ask a store associate, I’m sure they can read the labels for you.”

Classmate: “You are a very classical human being.”

@stephie

Distasteful? Nay, that meme was delightful. XD

@stephie

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

YESSSS I AGREE!!!!!

@linus-smallprint

Ooh, nice! His cowl is cool!

@the_lost-journal

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]

@whaley

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

Ohhh yess I wholeheartedly agree!

@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]

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]

Haha, you should get it.

@whalekeeper

Those are awesome. XD
