  1. A Christian denomination is a distinct religious body within Christianity, identified by traits such as a name, organization and doctrine. Individual bodies, however, may use alternative terms to describe themselves, such as church, convention, communion, assembly, house, union, network, or sometimes fellowship. this cold one is for you. Merry Christmas, Between you and BT this place cannot survive.

  3. Nondenominational churches now have largest share of church-goers in US The share of Americans who identify with Protestant denominations has slipped to around 10%. by The Rural Blog The Rural Blog Published Jan. 16, 2023 Updated: 1:59 pm Jan. 16, 2023 Americans’ “church membership, church attendance and belief in God all declined during the pandemic years,” but the growing membership in nondenominational Christian churches gave that largely unorganized group its first plurality among U.S. believers, Daniel de Visé writes for The Hill’s “Changing America” series. “At least one-fifth of Americans today embrace no religion at all,” DeVisé notes, citing polls. “A similar share tell pollsters they do not believe in God, an all-time high. The lone, striking counter-trend is a steep rise in nondenominational Protestants.” They became a plurality among U.S. Protestants in 2021, “signaling a new era of churches and clergies untethered from religious tradition.” DeVisé reports, “Since the 1970s, the share of Americans who identified as Baptists, Methodists and other Protestant denominations has slipped from more than 30 percent to around 10 percent. In the same span, the share of nondenominational Protestants has exploded. The 2020 U.S. Religion Census found 6.5 million more nondenominational congregants and thousands more churches than in 2010.” DeVisé quotes Daniel Silliman, writing in Christianity Today: “If ‘nondenominational’ were a denomination, it would be the largest Protestant one, claiming more than 13 percent of churchgoers in America.” This is a fundamental change in a key element of American society. DeVisé notes, “Multigenerational communities formed around the Baptist and Methodist churches that dominated town squares for generations. By contrast, nondenominational churches often thrive on their otherness, attracting congregants who mistrust ancient American institutions.” The pandemic spurred the decline of traditional church affiliation. “In-person church attendance plummeted by 45 percentin the pandemic, according to an ABC News analysis,” DeVisé reports. “Most churches have reopened, but not all congregants have returned. … The share of Americans who belong to churches dipped below half in 2020, a historic low, according to Gallup polling.” At the same time, many of those who say they identify with no religion say they consider religion important in their lives, DeVisé reports.
  4. The Non-Denomination Church. The Church that is pleasing to the ears. Here you won’t hear politics, talks about false religion, or even the word hell is mentioned, come as you are. For we are all one, in Christ? Beware of wolves… Matt.7 [15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are raveningwolves. Matt.10 [16] Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Luke.10 [3] Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Acts.20 [29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
  5. I asked Siri, how old the Earth is and she told me that it was 4.5 billion years old. just a little older than that fruitcake, I just ate.
  6. If you have all these Democratic states jump on board with the Colorado decision, they might not have a blank, that says other on the Voter ballot.
  7. This doesn’t have anything to do with joy I’m just trying to show my brother Christians. What’s going on and is it right?
  8. Yes, for ties to the Pastor for a gift, Pastors love ties. if he’s a Southern Baptist pastor, you can give him a jacket with a expensive T-shirt.
  9. Colorado brings more trouble for Trump… https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna130484
  10. Poor Catholics are getting weaker daily. Pope's blessing to Gay marriage, it won’t be too long before they start marriage too. https://apnews.com/article/vatican-lgbtq-pope-bfa5b71fa79055626e362936e739d1d8
  11. I am a Merry Christmas Guy, Anywhere I Go. Happy Holidays is ok, if you don’t want to offend anyone. But for me and my house, it’s Merry Christmas.
  12. A spiritual person can let this world get to them. Letting down what they have learned.
  13. Does this apply physically and spiritually? Heb.5 [12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. [13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
  14. I don't know what you are talking about. But that you have your opinions and I have mine.
  15. you might be right, how about having the church service somewhere else? I have never done it, but I imagine it is pretty hard to worship and sing with a whole bunch of angry protesters outside.
  16. He seemed open and professional to me. But it doesn't matter, the world's desire is to cut the preacher's head off. This is just a taste of what is to come. Christian churches will be attacked in similar fashion soon when they refuse to accept LGBTQX movement toward marriage and lifestyle. I would not have church service, that day the protest has come, let them protest in an empty building. Remember the people are the church, not the building. Members that are mad? Should just leave. Gods mission will continue.
  17. Thank you for serving our Lord and Savior.
  18. I had an iPhone XR it was a great iPhone. It takes a little getting used to switching over from an Android smartphone but once you learn, it will be worth it. Learning on YouTube will help you how to use it. Or any smartphone.
  19. I’m just repeating what I hear, read and see on Google. All you have to do is ask Google. Why is Apple iPhone more secured than Samsung’s or androids they explain all in more detail. I believe you work for a android provider maybe that’s why you like them better. I don’t work for anyone of those two mayor companies.
  20. I'm able to use my iPhone 13 with not 5G only internet, but with 4G LTE Only, which still works better, and faster for Internet than 5G here where I live. I believe the iPhone has more you control features, built-in.
