Not bait son, no one denies Paul was a great man but he did not understand his master

Was Joan of Arc in hell while she was excommunicated?

 

[BrimBurner]

Do I only need the Bible and praying to get close to God? Do I have to go to a church or get close to a Christian community?

What is visiting a Church like? What are your personal experience and what happens there? What is it like talking to the people and the priests there? And which denomination's churches have you visited and how do they differ? I have never visited a Church before so I'm curious.

I transheart the Bogomils
I transheart the Cathars
I transheart the Waldensians
I transheart the Gnostics
I transheart the Lollards
I transheart the Fraticelli
I transheart the Paulicians
I transheart the Euchites
I transheart the Arians
I transheart the Monophysites
I transheart the Hussites
I transheart the Jews
But I don't transheart you

What is visiting a Church like?

I found it good. It's a comforting place for me because they have standards for the members to keep it godly.

What are your personal experience and what happens there?

Mine (Presbyterian) had mostly Bible readings and Psalm singing (I disagree, we should sing hymns too) followed by the sermon. After that my church had dinner and people would form groups to talk for half an hour or so. It has cliques but the people are generally welcoming.

What is it like talking to the people and the priests there?

The people are alright but they do tend to be up their own ass a lot of the time. It gets annoying sometimes but they're good, hard working people. My church wouldn't accept people who get drunk, don't have jobs, etc. My old pastor was a disappointment for me, but outside of his views on not being able to ever be wrong, and only talking to his select few, he's a pretty good guy.

And which denomination's churches have you visited and how do they differ?

Absolutely hated Catholic ones. Genuinely a pain to go to and the worship is mostly centered around the same 5 very corporate songs (I went to two and they had the same voices) so the senile members stay awake. The preaching is ridiculous and isn't serious at all. Presbyterians tend to be boring kill-joys and I wanted to try out a Baptist church but the only non-pentecostal ones near me are Presby. Go to a Pentecostal one if you want to hear brown people yelling and preaching prosperity gospel.

This thread used to be a fucking gem.
Sadly such discussions are impossible to hold here now.

Just thinking, did Jesus vomit, sneeze, urinate and defecate? Would he hold all that filth within, and if not, when he ate and drank what happened?

Well yeah, he was human (and God) in all likeness. He experienced everything that humans have, He got hungry, He wept, He got tired.

How to visit a Church? Can someone just walk in there on Sunday during opening time? What rules and etiquettes are followed there? I know about the divine liturgy, and that's it.

I made a cross with the snake fidget toy thing, it looks cool. It has a church color/vibe I don't know how to describe it
