    Do You Attend Church?

    Please bear with me as I have a tendency to waffle... I was christened in a church and attended church up to the age of 10. The church was built in 1155 and stands at the top of a steep hill, within a wood pretty isolated. It is built out of stone and apparently fell into disrepair in the...

    (Catholics) Why do some Catholic churches do the wine drinking ceremony and other Catholic churches don't?

    Why do some Catholic churches do the wine drinking ceremony and other Catholic churches don't? Some churches do it with the eucharist, but other churches don't do it at all. This happens during Holy Communion.

    Is it a good idea to separate "church" from "state? Why or why not?

    Is it a good idea to separate "church" from "state?:question: Why or why not?:question: I'm actually starting to come around to the idea that it was a bad idea because laws would have to be created by religious motives instead of non-religious motives. Maybe it is a great idea. What do you...

    Taken me a lifetime to believe as I do and I still have questions

    Why do Christians primarily follow Jesus instead of god? While god may be in the house, most prayers and worship services praise the good news of Jesus from the new testament. During my days at church I felt praying to Jesus was a waste of time there praying to god made better sense to me...

    No Rapture, No Millennium Kingdom

    My personal opinion. Let us discuss. Dear friends, according to Holy Fathers of Eastern Orthodox Church, there will be no rapture at all, and no 1000 years of Christ ruling from Jerusalem. There will be 3 and half years of Antichrist and then the Judgement Day, without the Millennium thing...

    Do you belong to "the [true] Church" (1 Tim 3:15)?, if so, how do you prove it?

    Do you belong to "the [true] Church" (1 Tim 3:15)?, if so, how do you prove it? This is the theme for this Thread. For instance, I personally, would begin with the scriptures (KJB) and attempt to identify the true church from clear descriptions given about it, and see whether that which I...

    My bizarre church experiences:

    I thought I'd share a few bizarre incidents that happened in churches I attended. They aren't meant to suggest a stain on what is being taught, and I hold no animosity toward Christians. The relevance to theological concepts will become apparent. Story #1 From the balcony seats I watched an old...

    What do different religions think about people smoking marijuana? Whether it is for medical purposes or just for the recreational use of marijuana how do different churches view this? Another thing to ask is if a plant has that many health benefits with no chemical or human interference being...

    I'd like to share a couple of observations regarding participation in religious group ritual and ask a few questions about them: First, I've been to different rituals of various religions (church services, pujas, circles, etc.) and while there to observe, at least during my first visit, at...

    Is satan bad and mad?

    Imagine a man on the edge of the abyss. God says: do not make a step forward, or by death will die. An unhealthy Lucifer approaches and says "make the step, God envies you, fly like a bird!" And when the man stepped forward, the hope for Lucifer's repentance disappeared: God cursed him. A person...

    How do we know god is good, and satan is evil?

    Im new and i follow no religion, but i do like a good debate without prejudice. Because I'll state it now. No one truly knows if any of it is real or not. So to me there are no wrong or right or for that matter no DEFINITIVE answers at all on the religious discussings, pertaining to being real...

    An Orthodox church building is to be demolished in Ukraine. Is it 1937 again?
