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! :))

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]

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…

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]

@theducktator

Ok, cool!

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

@the_lost-journal

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

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

YESSSS I AGREE!!!!!

@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]

@the_lost-journal

Where are you? Because if you can ever get the option to go, I would definitely!

I’m in Eastern Montana lol

My family doesn’t travel a lot and we’re also SOOO busy between my sister’s gymnastics and my mom being recently diagnosed with cancer, so I don’t really see us going for a while XD

@freed_and_redeemed

Aww, it looks so good!!!

@the_lost-journal
Oh man, I can imagine! 🫨

Thanks everyone!! I’ll keep y’all updated. 🤗💕

Prayers for my family please! A lot of us are coming down with some kind of cold or flu and it’s been just miserable. Especially for my dad—he seems to only be getting worse. /:

@hybridlore

Sounds so cool!! Requested access!

I might do a short story based off of an old WIP I wrote with a theme similar to this one…🤔
