It would help to know what particular denomination you are or lean toward.
All I know is that my grandparents Nazarene church in Pullman was shut down, now all the Pullman Nazarenes go to the big Nazarene church in Moscow. If you're not already dedicated to a particular denomination, I would suggest attending one service per week at different churches until you find the one you like the most. |

I would stay away from Living Faith Fellowship, the general consensus when I was there (graduated in 2002 and 2004) was that it was a cult.
ETA: Go Cougs!

I remember those services at the Coug! Hell, we were probably there at the same time. I graduated in 86, 25 years ago. |

From what I know, not a cult per se, but they do act rather cultish. For what it's worth, they do have the biggest church parking lot in town!  |

Quoted: This is a shot in the dark, but I'll be going to WSU starting this year (2 weeks actually), and I'm looking for a church to look into in Pullman. If any of you all live in Pullman, information would be appreciated! EDIT: I'm protestant (currently attend Mars Hill Church as a frame of reference for you all). Hell, even if some of you just live in Pullman let me know! It'd be nice to know a few people in the city. I live about 4 miles north of town on what's left of my grandparents' farm. I might know a few things to help you out. |

We went to a Calvary Chapel before we came to MHC.. their teachings are in line, and they generally preach through the Bible like MD does. Might be worth a visit. |

That is not Christian. We believe in the War in Heaven in which Lucifer and one third of the hosts of Heaven were cast out of Heaven. Sorry if the tread got jacked. Christian commentary........... Wikipedia Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as Mormons) believe that Revelation 12 concerns the pre-mortal existence of man and take the scripture literally, except that the "War in Heaven" is considered a spiritual, not physical war. The Book of Moses, which is a part of their standard works, references the War in Heaven and the origin of Satan as a fallen angel of light. This image of a war in heaven at the end of time became added to the story of a fall of Satan at the beginning of time,[url=http://www.ar15.com/#cite_note-15][16][/url] including not only Satan but other angels as well, in view of the phrase "the dragon and his angels".[url=http://www.ar15.com/#cite_note-16][17][/url] Modern Bible commentaries, in general, view this passage as an eschatological vision of the end of time or as a reference to spiritual warfare within the church, seeing it as "not (as in Milton's Paradise Lost) the story of the origin of Satan/Lucifer as an angel who rebelled against God in primeval times."[url=http://www.ar15.com/#cite_note-5][6][/url] The motif of the fall of Satan and his angels can be found in both Jewish and Christian angelology and Christian art, and the concept of fallen angels, angels, who for rebelling against God, were degraded and condemned to a life of mischief or shame on earth or in a place of punishment, is widespread.[url=http://www.ar15.com/#cite_note-6][7][/url] As a result of linking this motif with the cited passage of the Book of Revelation the casting of Satan down from heaven, which other versions of the motif present as an action of God himself, has become attributed to the Archangel Michael at the conclusion of a war between two groups of angels.Christian commentary Modern Bible commentaries, in general, view this passage as an eschatological vision of the end of time or as a reference to spiritual warfare within the church, seeing it as "not (as in Milton's Paradise Lost) the story of the origin of Satan/Lucifer as an angel who rebelled against God in primeval times."[url=http://www.ar15.com/#cite_note-5][6][/url] The motif of the fall of Satan and his angels can be found in both Jewish and Christian angelology and Christian art, and the concept of fallen angels, angels, who for rebelling against God, were degraded and condemned to a life of mischief or shame on earth or in a place of punishment, is widespread.[url=http://www.ar15.com/#cite_note-6][7][/url] As a result of linking this motif with the cited passage of the Book of Revelation the casting of Satan down from heaven, which other versions of the motif present as an action of God himself, has become attributed to the Archangel Michael at the conclusion of a war between two groups of angels. |

Interesting. So if Christianity is such a narrowly defined and exclusionary belief, why would it matter which Christian church one attends?
ETA: Looks like it's time to move this to the Religious Forum, mods. |

While I was going to school there (just a few years ago) I went to Trinity Lutheran and really liked it. You might give it a try and see how it suits you. There is also a Lutheran campus ministry group that meets Wednesday evenings that's a lot of fun. I can give you more info if you want.

While we are discussing, want some coffee? I have a feeling we'll be up a while. |

Hmmm, so everything after Deuteronomy cannot be considered scripture. Guess that kind of eliminates the whole Christianity thing.
