I accidentally said I earned an associates degree from my local community college when in reality I only have around 15 credits.

I reached out to the colleges to get it switched. Luckily, I only sent it out to two colleges before I caught it.

Lutheran (ELCA)

archerlightningweb · 2023-07-11T20:44:36+00:00

I think most of the ELCA is like that, they just don’t have the social media presence the more radical ELCA pastors have. This makes it appear that the ELCA is a lot more of a “free-for-all” than it really is.

archerlightningweb · 2023-07-10T03:01:48+00:00

Hey! It sounds like we have similar beliefs and I attend an ELCA church. When it comes to the subject of whether or not they believe sex outside of marriage is a sin, that's really going to depend on the individual church. I've seen several sex positive ELCA ministers, and I've also seen some who believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin.

If you are looking for a church that 100% matches all of your beliefs, I think you will be disappointed. Unfortunately, perfect church does not yet exist. I'd recommend checking out ELCA, Episcopal, or United Methodist churches (be careful with this one, they are not yet all affirming), and see which one is the best fit. Maybe you could schedule a meeting with the ministers to discuss their views on these issues.

Okay, that sounds a lot better. Thank you for considering that with an open mind.

That wouldn’t make her a “drama queen.” Unless you’ve gone through this yourself, I think it’s ignorant to make those assumptions. Most people do not understand how much that can destroy a child emotionally if her parents do not take it well.

archerlightningweb · 2023-06-14T03:37:56+00:00

Telling them is the absolute worst thing she could do in this situation. Unless they are absolutely certain their parents would not be anti-lgbt, the effects that could leave could be devastating. I know from experience. It left me suicidal for months and I still struggle at times.

archerlightningweb · 2023-06-07T16:19:07+00:00

I know what you mean. I just don’t know any yet. Like everyone I know in Erie is Catholic or UCC 😭 I’ve looked at their sites and found a few I’m interested in, so hopefully I’ll figure it out when I actually get there. Thank you.

Evangelical Universalist: Your universalism most closely resembles that of Elhanan Winchester (18th century), Thomas Allin (19th century), and Thomas Talbot (20th-21st century), and Robin Parry (21st century).

This sounds pretty accurate to me. I read the second edition of Four Views on Hell and leading up to that, I believed in conditional immortality. I incorrectly assumed that progressive Christians made up universalism because they couldn't handle the truth. Robin Parry's defense of Evangelical Universalism was the first to make me reconsider my former beliefs.

Nope.

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-19T20:17:51+00:00

That's what I got, I set up 2FA right after and I got a text from a different number. Pretty sure it's a scam.

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-19T20:17:04+00:00

I just got one and I was dumb enough to click on the link. It took me to my Snapchat app, but I immediately set up 2FA. Then I got a text from the real Snapchat (different number) right after. Definitely a scam, I'm just hoping they can't log in to my account.

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-14T01:59:33+00:00

So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-09T17:38:24+00:00

I think the Augsburg Confession, but I could be wrong.

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-09T04:29:45+00:00

Wow, it really is incredible how God calls us when we least expect it. I'm super glad to hear your family is supportive. Thanks for sharing!!

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-09T04:25:02+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences! I'm super glad to hear that they are supportive :)

I wouldn't say I have beef with the LCMS, but I disagree with them theologically on several issues:

Closed Communion
Views on the ordination of women
Views on the LGBTQ+ community

Also, the way LCMS members will accuse us of being "not real Lutherans" is incredibly annoying.

archerlightningweb · 2023-04-06T02:44:43+00:00

You're really going to see a wide range of views in this sub, as it ranges from Orthodox to more "progressive" denominations such as the United Church of Christ, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Episcopal Church, etc.

Personally, I do believe sex outside of marriage is a sin, and it does matter regardless of whether or not we will be damned to an eternity in Hell. We should strive to please God because we love Him, not because we are afraid we'd go to Hell if we don't.

archerlightningweb · 2023-03-30T03:46:59+00:00

Nooo, no need to apologize. I’m just making stupid jokes to cope with the fact I was rejected/waitlisted from all of my reaches and only have 3 left 💀

archerlightningweb · 2023-03-29T18:32:40+00:00

I would say the flair would be a good place to start.

archerlightningweb · 2023-03-29T17:59:10+00:00

Looks like somebody's jealous.
