This is not the place to share memes.
> also they chill, like catholics with being who you are
@chaz you do realize that Catholics are apart of Christianity. Catholicism is a denomination of the Christian church.
I don't like Catholocism as much, due to it's almost theocratic nature of hierarchy, I prefer other forms where there isn't the one pope in command of the whole religion, but I don't hate it, I just prefer non theocratic denominations
Its very.... humanized in that way.. In my opinion anyway
and they are VERY traditional... Tradition is 3rd in place to God and his word.
I understand that
as do I

denomination
noun
1.
a recognized autonomous branch of the Christian Church.
"the Presbyterian community is the second largest denomination in the country"
yes?
Protestant, Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox. They are all denominations of the Christian church
a section/sector is a branch
I'm in a Christian discord server, there's primary denominations and secondary denominations
^^
I didn't realize Christian discord servers existed 😂
I'm in it cause it's funny to go into music and play "Burn your crosses" and other metal songs
but maybe thats just the protestant pov
I'm brought up under a Catholic taught mother and a Protestant father. I affiliate myself with the Protestant Denomination. But my parents say we are a non-denominational christian family.
I dunno, I'm a Methodist so we tend to be the forgotten child of the bunch
Not in the UK they arent
There are other secondary denominations more forgotten, but we're still forgotten compared to many others
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/denomination @_Jacob here is the official dictionary website with the definition
I say we're forgotten because in that server there's no Methodist role, so I don't have a belief role
I know certain denominations completely denounce LGBTQ+ members. More so Gay and Lesbians. While I am brought up under the teaching of some of the OT (mother). I do feel rejecting LGBTQ+ members is not the wisest thing. I won't partake in those actions, but I won't denounce everyone in the community. I will show them the love of Jesus Christ like the bible says.
No one is perfect, and it is not our place to judge others. The role of judge is left to God himself
I don't believe the family dynamic works with LGBTQ+, but if you wanna screw a guy as a girl I won't agree with it, but I won't stop you(If it's consentual)
That's how I have been taught and my understanding of it that is. I've spoken to others about it and most tend to agree with me.

@Deleted User ofc. Same with me.

@Osha19 I think there's a balance between speaking Truth, and speaking Love.
Some people wield the Truth as if its a spiked club, bitter and hateful. But others go after love and end up embracing not just sinners, but the sin itself. Christians, imo, need to be better at speaking Truth, in Love, not just one or the other
@Osha19 and, the comma denotes two seperate ideas, a) christianity is ok by my and b) hey look at this cool thing the pope did

@_Jacob the lines sighted in the bible against gay say not that being gay is a sin but having sex is, which, granted made sense back then, they had no lube/disinfected/medicine/condoms. I think the clause was added so nobody had to have stds
uh,
no. It is just wrong in our religion. Man was not made for Man.
Man was made for Woman and vice versa
