Prayer really is important. God has given us this gift, we should ask Him to help us use it.

I completely agree!!!!

I also pray about EVERYTHING…like asking Jesus to help me pick out outfits or other random things lol

I totally understand how you feel *cries*

Ok, interesting to hear your thoughts! I won’t discuss it any further because I’m not on here to argue, but thanks for taking the time to reply!

I second that!!!! Thank you for answering my questions and giving me something to do lol!!!!

@the_lost-journal

That does sound like a really fun idea!

So, are you thinking of this being like a framing device for a collection of other stories or something?

Yep! I’m oaky with moving on. I’m been on an off in this RP anyway

@savannah_grace2009

I don’t think @the_lost-journal was saying that the teachings of the saints are superior to the Bible. I think he meant that they were another source of instruction.

@savannah_grace2009 @the_lost-journal

Plus, the Bible requires two things if you want to read it. Context, and an open mind. You need history and context to even understand HALF, if not ALL of the Bible.

.

Context and History is all in the Bible. Reading other passages helps you understand other passages.

I would like to add something about t…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

You should also go off teachings from the saints.

The Bible is the WORD OF GOD!!!!! How could anything people say be superior to that?

I understand that God gives people special revelations too, but they won’t contradict the Bible. As Christians we need to respect the Bible as the ultimate authority.

Plus, the Bible requires two…

@theducktator @the_lost-journal

Ok, I’ll try to clear up the confusion then!

For not understanding, I don’t understand the whole set up of a contemporary non-denominational church. There is no structure whatsoever, and it confuses me greatly. XD

As for structure within the service, this is going to depend largely upon the church to be honest. Our…[Read more]

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 don’t understand why they don’t dress up…

@the_lost-journal

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!!!!!
