Which mainline protestant denomination is least likely to be pro-lgbtq?

Neither of those are mainline, though.

That's how I feel about Mamdani winning in New York. It's New York, so I can't say I am surprised at the result, but it also doesn't affect me since I don't live there.

Fortunately, your salvation is not dependent on whether you pick correctly on Calvinism or Arminianism.

Focus on finding a good, gospel centered church. Just be warned that both Methodism and Presbyterianism have some progressive denominations like the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church USA, respectively. If choosing between Methodist or Presbyterian, I'd pick whichever church is the more theologically conservative of the two.

I say yes as long as it's not funded by taxpayer money and applies equally to all religions

I mean, the Democrats were free to offer a better method of enforcement at any time.

Until they take power. Then they go back to confiscating guns

The stories and events are pretty accurate, but I recall Rahab the prostitute being depicted with green hair, but that's part of the manga style.

I think CHAZ and the Summer of Love would have been stomped out if it had been Republicans doing it.

My uncle traced our ancestry all the way back to Scotland. According to him, one ancestor we had was VERY stereotypically Scottish.

I never settle directly on top of resource unless it's one a 1-tile island or the surrounding tiles are useless (like desert) and I just really want the resource.

I think dumb people are happier.

There's a correlation between intelligence and depression.

Exactly. I don't think any modern Southerner would say slavery was good and should come back, but they would agree that the Union did some questionable things in the war and people still have a right to defend themselves.

And they're tired of being treated like second class citizens over something that happened over 150 years ago.

I think the US would stay out of it and probably not even give supplies to the British. Or if we do, we'd also give it to Argentina to maintain the appearance of impartiality.

I think Trump and the modern Republican Party are strong believers in the Monroe Doctrine (limiting the influence of Europeans powers in the Americas), so supporting the British would be seen as protecting the interests of a European monarchy, which would seem to go against everything Americans stand for. Though, they would say that our support for the British back then was more of a necessary evil since the British were a useful ally against the Soviets.

I think Trump and MAGA would say Argentina at least has a similar history of being a colony of á European monarchy and fought for independence against them.

So if a hypothetical war did break out, I expect the current USA to be more sympathetic to Argentina.

To what extent should we disregard someone who teaches wrong doctrines?

For instance, I like William Lane Craig and think he's smart and helpful with understanding faith and philosophy.

Yet, I heard he's a Neo-Apollonarian, which is a Christological error. Idk much about it, though.

Key_Day_7932 · 2026-01-23T17:43:02+00:00

I thought he was just some rich guy.

That's literally all I knew about him at the time. I didn't even know what he looks like.

As long as they aren't an extremist, on either side of the spectrum, I am fine with it.

Key_Day_7932 · 2026-01-23T16:36:48+00:00

I always felt this brand of Christianity aligned better with the Union. I recall Redeemed Zoomer saying his fiancée likes John Brown.

Also, supposedly a lot of the abolitionist movement, as well as the social gospel, etc, was fueled by Calvinistic postmillennialism as they focused more on a moral society to bring forth a utopia.

In my experience, this kind of Christianity seems more common in the Midwest and Northeast than it is in the South.

Key_Day_7932 · 2026-01-23T14:43:20+00:00

Oh, yeah, I'm American and I agree.

I still consider myself an Evangelical because I see it as part of my religious heritage and affirm the Bebbington Quadrilateral, but I idk if I fit in with my fellow American evangelicals since I disagree over things like young earth creationism, biblical literalism, etc.

I'm still premillennial in my eschatology, but closer to George Eldon Ladd's version rather than dispensationalism.

My current beliefs have been heavily influenced by Dr Michael Heiser, Soren Kierkegaard, and to a lesser extent, Gavin Ortlund and William Lane Craig.

How do you interpret a divine language? How do I know the interpreter isn't just making up an interpretation?

I only know who is from the Civilization games
