How is it that people are acting offended and outraged that this happened? If it was Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc sure. But this display was put up for the sole purpose of making something like this happen. The people who put it up are thrilled, not angry.

There isn't a Methodist consensuses anything other than disagreeing with John Calvin. You can't take anything said in one church and apply it to another.

I have always recited the apostle's creed with "holy catholic church". I am Methodist (GMC), but my child goes to an LCMS elementary school and after the Christmas program the apostles creed was said with this part as the "holy christian church". None of this bothers me. I see no serious issues...

Single moms might do well. Single dads with full custody get jack crap. Nobody cares lol.

I tried to actually read the study linked in one of the articles, but it cost 18 bucks so aint happening. Did a bit of a research on Australian Catholic University and you couldn't be much more biased. (That doesn't mean they are wrong, just that they are going to present the findings in a way...

This. Not going to post much in this area of the forums, but I want to say one thing. Our religion is about faith. its about faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It is not about faith in a literal interpretation of Genesis else you will go to hell. We get to all agree or disagree...

haha. Just thought I would say hi. Getting my son involved in BJJ. Should be fun. You are not alone. I have enjoyed watching musumeci lately.

Yeah. but you aren't God. I wouldn't sacrifice my son for you or anyone else. But God did. For you and me. You can't put yourself in God's shoes.

I think the above would be a fun discussion for another topic and another date. I am sure there are plenty of threads already covering it. I still think prophecy and revelation are problematic, but it has been wonderful learning from you. I want to thank you again for your response. Learned a...

Thank you for your wonderful reply Ok. I read more into it. And I see in 1 Corinthians 14:6-12 the following: "6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? 7...

So I did a search before bringing this up because I suspect it has been talked about plenty on here. Sure enough there are two massive threads in the last year, the John MacArthur possible heretic thread and the 1st Corinthians 13:10 thread seem to have a lot of content about this. I am going to...

I was baptized Disciples of Christ. Eventually may family joined a Non Denominational (Undercover Baptist lol) church growing up. I did a lot of study, eventually embraced Methodist theology and beliefs. But almost all of my extended family was Church of Christ. I bring up my background just to...

Alright. I am leaving the political area of the forum. I am convinced that arguing here is a waste of my time and I wont be responding to anything. I have a more thoughtful post in the Donald Trump indictment thread. So I am going to just say one last thing. Leave my child alone.

Alright. I am going to leave this thread permanently after this post. I may just avoid the political sections of this forum since I am convinced that no argument can be made to change the mind of either side including me. A willingness to except we might be wrong is necessary for any real...

Ok. What is your point? That some cultural norms change. I think everyone here can agree with that. You can't compare color popularity among genders to a million years of evolutionary reality.

That is true, but the two denominations are now almost on completely different sides of the spectrum. Its almost as if a disagreement over instruments caused half to become Yankee fans and half to become Real Madrid fans...they are not even in the same ballpark...not even playing the same...

Your response is a wonderful read. I think it addresses many of my concerns and I think I probably agree with much of it. Because there is so much to unpack and think about, I am going to take a little bit of time before addressing all of your points. I do however want to give a few initial...

Intellectual dishonesty doesn't do much for me. I think you are smart enough to understand what is happening in the government. I will check back in a few weeks. have a good day and stop watching so much MSNBC.
