    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Now you're just raving. Prove any of that line-up to be genuine...and also show us how it applies to ALL denominations since that is what you set out to do in the Original Post, i.e. argue that non-denominationalism is better than denominationalism. Along the wa,y you've used as your evidence a...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    No, he doesn't. So now you've moved from denouncing "denominations"--all denominations--to denouncing certain cults as though they are the epitome of denominationalism. It's a bogus argument. Such as? What denomination trusts in a sacrament to save its people? But you advocate doing...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    The entire premise is in error. Denominations are not worldwide or nationwide constructs that replace local assemblies, like some religious version of the military. Rather, they are associations of local congregations, but ones that have agreed-upon standards that almost any Christian would...

    Your political views

    It's just a theoretical issue, then, but in order to adhere to your standards you'd have two possible choices on Election Day--Libertarian Party or Constitution Party.

    That approach would not satisfy an anarchist, however, It would describe a conservative, of course, but not an anarchist. I do know of self-described anarchists who believe that there would still be government but limited to preventing the use of force or fraud against other people, so I guess...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    That's a good question. I assume that you mean to ask if there are any groups/churches that hold to the Trinitarian doctrine and yet baptize in the name of Jesus only. I cannot think of any offhand.

    Your political views

    Sightly so, yes. But anarchism is anarchism, so there's not much room for variations when saying you favor having no government at all. But as I said, there are differences between anarchists on how to get there. Well, I'd guess that there aren't "very many" when compared with all the other...

    Divorce and Remarriage

    Once again, I am faced with what looks like the 'Gospel according to Dave', so far from what the Scripture actually is saying are your interpretations.

    USA LIBERALS: Not Easy to Understand

    Such as? Given the huge number of grievances traceable to government action (or inaction, as the case may be), which the rest of us hear about frequently from people like yourself and which don't take place in any other state, I cannot imagine what those answers might be. Keep in mind that we...

    USA LIBERALS: Not Easy to Understand

    The illogic that's political liberalism never ceases to amaze. The obvious solution to the imbalance between the races when it comes to jaywalking would be to ticket some white pedestrians at random until the numbers are even. They wouldn't actually be jaywalking like the real offenders, but in...

    Divorce and Remarriage

    "except it be for fornication" You're asking what if she is a fornicator? :rolleyes:

    Divorce and Remarriage

    Wait a minute. It's the faithless wife being described above, not the husband. And she is not "innocent."

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Personally, I don't even like the term. That's because it seems to suggest that the 'Theory of Evolution' which is usually attributed to Darwin is being adapted to fit Christian belief by accepting as correct the evolutionist's process but simply stipulating in addition that of course it was God...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    It looks like the issue is still in question, so here is something else that might be considered-- https://www.christianpost.com/news/lutheran-church-passes-resolution-saying-god-created-world-6-natural-days.html We noted earlier that the first statement dated from 1932 (although the author of...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    According to the article (and the LCMS president), that 1932 statement "still holds today." However, the article points out that the statement does not deny that it may have taken longer for the six "days" of Creation to be accomplished than six 24-hour days as we commonly count days now. It...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Oh, the LCMS is renowned for seriousness, especially when it comes to religion! But I was adding a personal comment to that post as you were responding to it, so please take another look. It may not change a thing, but I'd like you to read the final paragraph in black.

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    How about this? It is taken from the Lutheran Witness, the official LCMS publication, and the article is written by the president of the LCMS. This is only the first part of the article. The LCMS’s classic statement on creation was made a long time ago in the Brief Statement of the Doctrinal...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Yup. I was just about to add that we often identify a church that seems to meet the requirements of the person only to find that there isn't a congregation of that denomination nearby. 😞 Uh huh. The ELCA predominates in parts of the country and the LCMS in others, even though both are...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Ever tried a Lutheran Church other than the LCMS? The ELCA certainly doesn't dogmatize on the fine points of evolution which was the main objection to the LCMS. And the liturgy would be the same.
