Christian Discussion: No more Fun with Pope Puns

[Bienenhalde]

Guys, if you had to be in any other Christian denomination, what would it be? I think I would be a Methodist.

I am Lutheran, but my other top choice would probably be either Anglican or Methodist.

I'm Baptist, but I'd probably be Anglican if I had to convert. They are both quite diverse traditions and I find most other denominations to be too doctrinally rigid for me.

As for the ancient churches, I find the Oriental Orthodox to be the least objectionable, personally.

[Benuty]

Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox.

I second this. I'd probably go Anglo-Catholic though. But honestly, Justification by Faith isn't as vividly expressed therein. So I may just settle for the ACNA.

Even split between IFI (ideally) and one of the numerous flavors of Baptist or general Evangelical (realistically).

Guys, if you had to be in any other Christian denomination, what would it be? I think I would be a Methodist.

Oriental Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Anglo-Catholic, or maybe Moravian.

Oriental Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Anglo-Catholic, or maybe Moravian.

Greek Orthodox isn't a denomination, though; it's a cultural subset of a broader denomination.

[Lanansia]

Guys, if you had to be in any other Christian denomination, what would it be? I think I would be a Methodist.

I'd probably be catholic. My dad's side of my family is catholic, and I have a lot of catholic friends.

unitarian universalist christianity, probably. the only thing i really find myself disagreeing with in terms of unitarian universalism is the unitarian part.

Aren't Baptists just about as far away from Roman Catholics in liturgy and theology as one can get without completely abandoning Christian orthodoxy?

My guess is that, depending on where NVI lives, it's likely due to the proximity of Baptist or evangelical/non-denominational churches in the area. I live in the metro and even I would have to travel a ways away to get to an IFI church or any other church in the Anglican communion.

Meanwhile, the mall that's literally a two-minute walk away from where I live has at least two evangelical services every Sunday. Right across the street there's also another Baptist congregation that has a kind of open house every Wednesday where they serve coffee and snacks.

[Tarsonis]

I guess if I had to, it would be Episcopalian

For the record, I grew up in Cebu, where my experiences in school have seen me knowing more of evangelicals than of other parts of non-Catholic Christendom, to the point that if any of my peers weren't Catholic, they were most likely an evangelical. Now I live in a part of San Juan where the nearest IFI church is a jeep away, but the nearest evangelical churches are walking distance.

[Lower Nubia]

Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox.

I tend to think more in line with the Orthodox on concepts of salvation like Theosis. Though I tend to operate like a Catholic in Confession.

Catholic.

Pretty much no different from my upbringing in the metro. Many friends who were all flavors of Protestant (but yeah mostly Baptists and just non-denoms) as well as some Iglesia Ni Cristo folks. Like I've stated where I live now the nearest church is an evangelical ministry quite literally right next door, and the nearest IFI and Episcopalian churches are a bit far off. Still, if I had to I'd probably seek them out rather than the Evangelicals nearby.

Glad to see the Nicene Creed without the Filioque clause.

Bit cheatsy of me, but probably Orthodox Catholic; those guys, from what I can gather, are essentially just Eastern Orthodox just sitting within the Catholic denomination.

If I had to choose a denomination other than Orthodox or identical to Orthodoxy, I'd probably go with some kind of Protestant. I'd rather not be under the jurisdiction of the pope, so I'd get along well with most of the Protestant crowd. Plus, most of my extended family is Baptist, so that works for me.

Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion is today, March 24th. As March 25th falls within Holy Week, the observation of the Solemnity of the Annunciation has been moved to April 8th.

Happy Palm Sunday (almost) everyone!

Alleluia, Alleluia!

[Nioya]

How should people view premarital sex in a Christian society? I've thought about this a lot. I was reading a world building guide about Nioya and there's a part that discusses marriage and sexuality. It brought up how a politician having an affair would disqualify him from office in the US. I thought about making it more about having premarital sex in Nioya. I'm asking this as a more general question about Christian cultures and so on.
