America was founded on rebellion to authority. What does the bible have to say about this?
1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft
Mark 12:17
And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things
that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they
marvelled at him.
Rom 13:1,3-4,6 (NIV)
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established... Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing... This is why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
1 Pet 2:13-14 (NIV)
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong *

My whole family is LDS, except my dads family, and I have recently found the Catholic church and after learning and praying about it for a long while, and also talking to one of my teachers who was in a seminary to become a priest for 2 yrs, I believe it to be the right church. I also believe the LDS church to be mislead, and I told them this.

I understand that they don't want me to leave a religion they think is right, so I can't be Catholic church until I'm 18. I'm ok with that. It just gives me more time to learn and I'm content it will work out in the end, but this is driving me nuts. It's war everytime even the smallest mention of anything related to religion comes up. My stepdad, mom, and sister have all started calling me a horrible person because I wear a cross. They are constantly trying to prove me wrong and I'm tired of it. I'm afraid that they will stop talking to me after I leave the church, yet that's what I'b beginning to want because of their behaviour.

What do I do??

Think about it. Gays are ridiculed by others, shunned by family, hated by politicians, and generally looked down upon by society. Who would CHOOSE that?? Is it not possible that they were born this way??
I can think of no other reason for you to not beleive that they can be born this way, other than to think it is part of your religious dogma - if God creates everything on earth, then that would mean he created gays...and he could not possibly have done that, since its a sin to be gay, so being gay is a choice and not something born into someone. Is that how you think??

For that matter, how can you believe that God "creates" something like a child that lives for only hours prior to dying from some horrible disease. Why would God do this? What lesson did the child need to learn? Perhaps the parents needed a lesson - at the expense of a child's life? What is the purpose of such a heinous creation???

What I want to know is, would it change how you feel about someone to find out that they are the owner of another person, or that they are owned by another person?
I am owned propety, and everyone I know, knows it, they always have, so I dont know what it is like to be treated with anything other than love and acceptance by my family and friends, although my Master is reluctant to let others know that He owns a slave, only because He is a business owner and is afraid it would harm His business if the general public found out.
When we are around the people who circle me, we are very open about our relationship, but we do not go out in public becuase He is married (His wife knows all about who and what I am and has no problem with it) and doesnt want to have to answer questions about who I am and why I treat Him the way I do.

This is an actual question/answer:

do u know of anyone who is not a sinner?

No....except for Jesus - the only perfect One. I'm so very glad that He took the punishment I deserve - so I am perfect in God's eyes because of what He did for me!


"punishment I deserve" seems a little off to me. Manard from A Perfect Circle got it right...
It's not like you killed someone...

And after that just stop the useless debates?

A few Gods talking about their Vision, their Religion. They can randomly sing some gospels, we do a text-voting..and voila, one God wins the title of True God.

Sounds much easier to me than all the useless debate about which God is the true one. Let's settle it for once and for all.
