Question by : Is “Calvary” a church?
(for all you bible quoters out there I know that calvary is the hill Jesus died on I’m not asking that)
There’s two churches in my town called calvary. It doesn’t say the denomination of the church they just say “Christian”. I used to think that they were just names of churches like how Catholic Churches are named “St William” or “St Marys”. But my boyfriend said that he always thought Calvary was a Church (not a building, an organization) because there’s 2 of them nearby with the same name. Now I’m curious, and google isn’t helping. Does anyone know?
Thanks
btw i’m not interested in joining it, I’m pretty happy with Catholicism.
but thank you everyone who is like “let God enter your life”, it’s very thoughtful of you

It is not a sect of Christianity, but simply the name they use for their particular congregation.

There is no record outside of the Bible stories that Jesus Christ ever existed or that the Romans ever crucified anybody in Jerusalem! Our body is too heavy and cumbersome to hang so peaceably nailed by the hands to any cross even with a convenient foot rest! The Romans were known to impale their victims driving a pole into their rectum and making them stand up into the air WITHOUT ANY FOOT REST. The pole would quickly pierce the heart or lung killing the victim without the need of any specialized Holy Cross manufacturing facility! The JWs came up with the funny idea that Jesus Christ was nailed with ONLY ONE NAIL on a straight up pole with his hands above his head! In impalement, the thicker the pole driven up the anus the longer it took for the victim to die. In the Jesus Crucifixion “story” he died rather quickly and painlessly hardly shedding any blood (Mark 15:44)! Instead of suffering in pain for the “sin of Eve” while nailed to the Holy Cross, Jesus was holding a long heated religious chat with the 2 thieves hanging nailed to the other crosses and everybody else attending his Holy Crucifixion. He was too distracted and didn’t seem to know why he was getting crucified! HE COMPLAINED to his “Father in Heaven” why he forsook him! Christians claim that crucifixion is the MOST PAINFUL form of death that God the Father could have possibly dreamed up for his “ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST.” God really wanted to get even with Eve for her daring interest in plain knowledge of good and evil. The Bible writers’ original idea was for humankind to depend EXCLUSIVELY on the Clergy on any “good or evil” issue! This is why “TRUE CHRISTIANS” hate secular science! Can you imagine what America would be like with Pat Robertson as president? Pat has millions of Americans supporting him with a lot of money! They believe that any science NOT BASED ON THE BIBLE is a Communist plot to hurt America!

Christians MUST IGNORE that any functional Holy Cross needs to be very strongly structured and firmly planted into the ground taking into account gravitational forces, level and plumb, and so on which is something that YOU DON’T GET BY JUST DIGGING A HOLE IN THE GROUND! It has to hold a step-ladder so the Roman soldiers can do the final trimmings on the victim’s body. In the case of Jesus Christ Christians know that it would have been very embarrassing for God the Father up “IN HEAVEN” to watch a sloppy form of salvation on a Holy Cross that wouldn’t hold anybody nailed to it without any help from Heaven!
In 324 AD, Saint Helen is on Church record to have found THE HOLY CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST and the crosses of the 2 thieves, in a garbage dump near the alleged site of the Holy Crucifixion just outside of Jerusalem. After over 300 years the wooden crosses showed no sign of decomposition! That’s a MIRACLE in itself! Saint Helen found only 3 (three) crosses in all Israel!

Most Cathedrals in Europe today still sport a 2,000 year old chunk of wood taken from God the Son Jesus Christ’s Holy Cross!
“Before the year 350, St. Cyril of Jerusalem three times over informs us that the fragments of the wood of the Cross found by St. Helen had been distributed piecemeal and had filled the whole world (Cat., iv, 10; x, 19; xiii, 4)” …PRAISE THE LORD!

The Holy Cross idea comes from this ONLY story in the Jewish Bible!
Deuteronomy 21:23 (KJV) His body* (*the body of any convicted criminal) shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; for HE THAT IS HANGED* (*by the neck from a tree branch NOT FROM A ROMAN HOLY CROSS) IS ACCURSED OF GOD…
This is the ONLY “PROPHECY” in the whole Jewish Bible about any “hanging” of a CRIMINAL that “spiritually speaking” the Early Church Fathers and the preachers today still relate to the Jesus crucifixion story! The Early Church Fathers idea of a Roman Holy Cross symbol is to show the prospective “believers” the DYING “Savior” welcoming “sinners” into his outstretched arms. Christianity is the only religion requiring the DEATH of a savior to save anybody from getting tormented in “Hell” for ever and ever. In real life any savior needs to be alive all along while saving anybody. Most of the time the person in peril of his/her life may be reluctant to be saved, or in panic of dying making their rescue difficult. A real SAVIOR would risk his/her life to save their fellow human being no matter what. Jesus Christ is a fair weather savior. The alleged “lost” person needs to be of a sound mind and have enough “faith” of the right brand that the “savior” will do the trick, otherwise they are still lost and on their way to the Bible Hell!

The best thing to do would be to call both churches and ask if the name indicates some connection between them (aside from the obvious Christian connection).

Some refer to the hill where Jesus was crucified as Calvary. It is also known as Golgotha and the Place of the Skull.

There are Calvinists, but no religion called Calvary. It is a popular name for church buildings. It makes the illusion they are more Christian. Certainly better than “Execution Central”.
