Does the outer edge of a spiral Galaxy rotate at the same speed as the inner edge? Slower? Faster?

I was considering going to a ND a church but don’t want to end up in a cult. Or cult-like church.

Maybe I need to reconsider Catholicism again.

I don’t need to, I just do.

I was very clear in asking her if I’m right or not, asking her if there is not just no Confirmation classes but no Confirmation, period? She said that I’m right, there aren’t. Then she, too, mentioned the Sacrament Instruction class. But I think it’s just for kids in that typical age group.

I reread the email she’d received from a staff member and he said that we no longer have a confirmation process and then went on to talk about how there is no Confirmation. He said they have a class called Sacrament Instruction (whatever they teach there without having Confirmation, I don’t...

They have not eliminated Baptism and membership Is allowed for those who’ve gone through Rooted, but wasn’t strongly encouraged. Rooted was strongly encouraged, but not actual membership. I was told there are people who’ve been going there for years who aren’t “official”members.

From what I remember he said they eliminated Confirmation.I asked my friend just to be sure I’m getting this right and am now waiting for another reply.I’ll let you know when I hear from her. She might be at work.

No, I don’t think I’m incorrect on this, because I, myself was never confirmed anywhere but the RCC as a kid. And was told by my pastor they don’t have Confirmation anymore.

And no. I’m NOT going to let you call them to raise heck there. Like I said, I’m probably not even staying anyway. she was told that the kids Confirmed oftentimes don’t to just get their certificate, then never go back to church. So instead they have other programs for kids that age. I guess...

It is true. I just asked a friend of mine from church who has kids Confirmation age and she sent me a copy of what one of the staff had sent her when she asked.

I won’t be Confirmed. They don’t do that at my church anymore.

I think I said this before, months ago, but I don’t think I was ever asked if I believe in Luther’s Catechism. I had to take a Rooted Experience class (now just called Rooted) then we had some thing in the Worship Center where we were introduced while remaining standing in front of our seats.I...

OTOH, God could’ve created in 6 natural days and the earth could still be old….but then again, that doesn’t address my belief in theistic evolution. Do you believe in theistic evolution?

I know…..that’s why I’m considering leaving. :(

What kind of red flags? I know at least one of the pastors at the ND church is an old earth creationist and as far as theistic evolution, he said that that isnt necessary for salvation. Jesus is.

Is it? Because like I said before the words are synonyms.

Yes, and Josiah has pointed out that this is not doctrine but it is the teaching and position of the church. I don’t see how that’s much different from doctrine, if at all.

Yes, but athe modern day LCMS have upheld the teachings.

No but I do keep a Christian planner in which I write lots of Scripture and Christian lyrics, memes etc.
