ooh, this is an interesting concept! I say go for it!!

@the_lost-journal

That sounds like a cool idea!

@the_lost-jourmal

A framing device is basically a story outside of the main story. It’s not necessarily a “story” as far as having much of a plot, but it acts as context in which the main story is told.

The only example I can think of that you might have seen is the Princess Bride movie. In that movie, the grandfather reading the story to the…[Read more]

YAYYYYY hahaha

thank you for this conversation!!!

@the_lost-journal

And no, you didn’t come off as rude!!! Talking to people with different beliefs and opinions actually helps me strengthen my own as well as understanding other points of view, so thank you so much!

And I’m sorry if I ever came off as rude hahaha

@ellette-giselle

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*

No matter how cringy it is, sometimes it is better…[Read more]

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]

@esther-c

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. : )

@kefa @theducktator

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