I'm learning to like the way pastors are appointed in the UMC. Since we moved last year we have been visiting both a UMC and a Lutheran Church. I am liking the UMC church alot but my wife likes the larger Lutheran church. I'm not sure yet where we will end up but I am learning to respect and...

Maybe it depends on the pastor.

But I use too when I was younger.

I usually won't eat in a cafe if the table is "sticky".

I have Catholic friends and my brother is Catholic. My brother thinks his church is the only one true church as do others in his faith. I know they are the oldest church but the one true church transends denominations. It is made up of believers from from all churches. The one true church is...

I'm voting for Kate Hudson. Why u ask? Because she is very pretty and blonde. IDK who I will vote for yet but I think it will be someone who is competent. I don't see many choices especially in the front runners.

Years ago when I was in the SBC I saw pastors that seemed to go from smaller churches to larger ones. And once they attain the large church they stay for 20 plus years. I'm liking the idea of a pastor being appointed. Also I like the fact they don't stay forever because I've seen churches...

So can a pastor preach what he feels led to preach or does he/she have to follow the lectionary?

Very informative and we'll put. I've never thought of the divorced being remarried committing adultery but you are right. It's there in the bible. So he without sin let him cast the first stone. I guess that's it. Evangelicals are divorced in high numbers that are in line with society's...

The GOP seems to be on a downhill slide and usually I vote that way. Who is really responsible enough for the job? If we took away voting for a person because they claim to be Christian who would really be the best one for the office? Idk I give up.

The bible is accurate on the creation story. Notice I said story. It was a good story to tell to children during the last 6000 years give or take. It made people feel secure knowing god created it. They just didn't understand science like we do today. It's been evolving since God created it...

Those polls are not exactly accurate don't believe the polls. Carson is a frontrunner with Trump close behind. I take no stock in this poll. This is the news media telling you this so you will vote for the front runner. God help us all if Trump gets in there. That's all I have to say.

So much has been said here. It's really not all that complicated. it makes no sense that it would be this complicated. We were dead in Christ unable to save ourselves and even unable to reach out to god. But God in his mercy reached out to us and caused the blind to see. He changed us...

Thanks for for all the information . Very Very inspiring

I was once Southern Baptist and while most SBC churches do not hold to KJV onlyism some do. Most independent fundamental baptists do hold fast to this. So much so that some of them think you are not a christian if you don't believe as they do. I visited one of these independent churches and...

You and I agree so much. If those who hold literalism really did so then I suppose they would pluck out their eyes. As Paul said if your eye causes you to sin then pluck it out. Since we all sin and the sin of lust for a man is common than those who really think they hold to a literal...

Can I ask the difference between a fundamentalist and a conservative?

There was a post above by a guy that kept skirting around the issue and throwing out bible verses. And of course he mentioned only the king James bible. Now he to me would be a fundamentalist would he not?

The government will do what it wants with regard to gay marriage. Hopefully it will stay out of the church and let churches decide for themselves.

I'd find myself to be moderate to liberal. I keep my political arena separate from my theological arena. I believe it's ok to have different translations of the bible. I believe it's ok for women to pastor. How can I deny that especially since it's a calling of God. I am open to new...
