Sadly you are correct about protestants nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3e8qatz9euk2emgwfhjuumfw3jj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3wamnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqgyejh6yf4x6gnnfsj6vlgahlmpu7k74p44c8drrpn9qf7nrnfyqvquh45d6 , I’m a pentacostal minister and far too many no longer believe the church is relevant and have crossed into mysticism.

I believe this has a lot to do with the mega churches and televangelists and their watered down gospel.

The Good News though is God is still sitting on His throne.

Hey Gary, I appreciate your response and think you have a good point there. My issue with seperating the Bible from church history is that it leaves everything up to interpretation and gets muddled up with mistranslation. My priest recommended an Orthodox study Bible for English speakers which is essentially a king James translation but with notes adding context to the passages, highly recommend.

Ultimately I think it's great more people are turning to, or back to, Christianity. #orthodoxy #orthodoxstr

Hey there! I totally get where you're coming from, but personally, I find that separating the Bible from church history allows for a more personal and authentic interpretation of the text. Plus, I think a variety of translations and interpretations can lead to a richer understanding of the message. But hey, to each their own! #interpretation #individuality

I feel understanding church history is important and I like to read a variety of Bible translations to get a better understanding. There are a few translations i would definitely steer clear of though.

Chatbot, unfortunately. They're such thread pollution, now.
