Hilarious quotes, guys XD

@theducktator haha I’m glad you found it funny.

She would GLADLY kiss him any other time lol. Just not on the battlefield where they’re sure to be stared at. In his words, “Professionals have standards.”

(yes I’m aware that’s a famous meme. I’d tell you the whole story, but it’s long, and I’d need to put in a few trigger…[Read more]

Sorry I’ve been MIA, I had family from out of state staying with us because my great-grandfather passed away and the funeral was yesterday… but I’m back for a little bit before I leave for work!

On the topic of Baptists/non-demoninationals: Maybe I’m just stereotyping Baptists, but…[Read more]

Hello Ducktator!

Ducks are fun creatures, any particular reason they’re your favorite?

To answer your questions, I pour the cereal before the milk. But to be perfectly honest, I usually have a cup of milk with my cereal (milk is like my coffee lol).

Favorite bird is a raven, since I like how scary smart they are.

I haven’t had…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

It is more normal to me, yes. (although I haven’t necessarily been “raised” in this church…only been going to it about 6-7 years now, haha) I believe in such experiences, but I can’t explain how it feels to be in that moment, honestly…words just can’t describe it. Idk.

We all have things we are or aren’t comfortable with, and…[Read more]

Sorry Y’all, disappeared for a bit.

Ty for understanding and for your kindness <3

I’m still here to kindly discuss things if anyone would like, just not for debate 😊

@theducktator

We believe baptism is not necessary for salvation and life in heaven, though obviously you should be baptized if at all possible. Some i…

@theducktator

Thanks for letting me know! Looking into it now.

@theducktator

Does your church believe this too, and does 5 mean that you don’t think parents will be held at all accountable for their children’s actions? I’m not trying to start a debate. I’m just curious.

You’re good, girl! I like discussions! Talking about what I believe is fun, tbh :3

Yes, we do believe in those 5 founding truths. Yes, nu…[Read more]

@theducktator

I went to a church at a camp recently that I think was Non-Denominational. It was fun, but I was kind of confused by the lack of structure. XD

Understandable. Non-Denominational churches tend to be more lenient on how we do things, haha. This past Sunday, we didn’t even have a sermon because our pastor felt God lead him to not do so…[Read more]

@theducktator

Oh, I forgot the Anglicans! Sorry😅 I know a few Episcopos that are pretty cool. Yeah, I’ve found Anglicans interesting because they’re a unique combination of Protestant and Catholic.

My dad says Non-Denominationals are essentially Baptists by another name. XD

That’s how I’ve always understood them yeah. They just have a specific…[Read more]

@theducktator Youth Group can be fun for sure! I have also gone to a more local church’s youth group (my actual church is 1 hour away from us, and we tend to have to be there at 9 AM on Sundays for…[Read more]

@theducktator I have never met an Anglican; that’s actually really cool!

Wellll, ok, it really depends on the Non-Denominational church.

I would say the church I attend is probably closer to Baptist, but there are also many variations of Baptist churches.

Simply put, a Non-Denominational church is a church that doesn’t belong to a specific…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @theducktator @freed_and_redeemed @trailblazer

I am interested in this and I was ready to talk. Alas, I caught a nasty bug ten minutes after my last comment – no joke, I felt it wash over me super quickly – and I have a tendency to stay up all night whenever I’ve caught something.

Sooo I’ve been up for more than twenty-four hours…[Read more]

@trailblazer @whalekeeper @theducktator

Trailblazer is 100% right about what she said about Youth (although my church’s youth group is comprised of, like, maybe 6 kids on a regular basis??? And three of those are me and my siblings😅)

I am curious like Trailblazer, tbh! What kind of churches do y’all belong to? (and Trailblazer, too, what about…[Read more]

@theducktator @whalekeeper

Yes, the youth pastor is the pastor overseeing the youth. My church is larger, so we do have a youth group (the middle-school age students meet Monday nights; the high school students meet Wednesday nights). The purpose is to give the youth a space to not only have community of their own age, but also to give teaching…[Read more]

@theducktator

The Church of Latter Day Saints is the official name for Mormons, right?

That is correct. We don’t really like the nickname though, because it takes away the focus from Christ. Mormon we respect as a great prophet who compiled the plates, but this is the Lord’s church, not his.

So, does the third mean you do not agree with infant…

@theducktator

Yeah, I hear that term a lot too… I think it means the leader of the youth group? Although I wouldn’t call our leader a pastor, by any means. He never had to study for it.

My dad is the only pastor, besides a couple retired guys who fill in now and then. What about your church?

@theducktator

She fixed the posting problems, but I think she forgot about the pics and I’m too nervous to ask 😥

@theducktator

I had to google a definition of infallible for this, so hopefully I understand what you are talking about. I think that all of the stories and ideas in the Bible are true, but that there is room for error in things like spelling, and errors in translation. For example, Nebuchadnezzar is spelled two different ways in the Old…

@theducktator

Yes, I most certainly am! PASTOR KIDS ROCK

Jkjk, the rest of y’all are great 😆

And I agree, the extra translations in footnotes are super helpful.
