Society & Culture - 24 October 2006

This is what I think now after reading the scriptures for a while and praying for the Spirit of Truth and fasting for two days and half.

The reason why we need religion is because we do not realize that humans on themselves can't maintain. That's why God the father exists, we do not fully realize that God's commandments are a sacred laws of virtue; we don't see virtue being sacred. If we in this world applied all the negative things to our lives we as humans will not exist, but if we keep applying everything that is of virtue we will realize we are not only destroying our bodies but also our spirits within, which I believe it's our true and natural selves. We have to realize that we are not only part of the universe but participants of it. We have to magnify the spiritual power within us, but only through righteousness can such power be magnified. All things that are of matter of this world come from pure energy, we are energy, our spirits are energy, we are One in God and God within us. God is Omni potent, Omni scient, and Omni present (in spirit), that is why God is an emotional God. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saint believes that God was once man, but before he became God he found and mastered the spirit within himself. The forefathers of America build this nation under the sacred laws of virtue.

Proverbs: Chapter 8 verse 22-33:

22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor athe highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

1). Christ came and abolished Mosaic Law, which included the
Ten Commandments. Why honor them now?
2). How is it possible to commit adultery inyour heart if you are not
married? The bible/commandments tell us that when we look
upon a woman with lust we have committed adultery in our
hearts. But if we are single and looking for a mate, how else
are we to view a woman with procreation in mind?
3). In Revelations, the number of the beast is 666. This is the
number by which the Antichrist will be able to control mankind.
It is through this number that he will control all of us. Now,
we have this, which we see every day: WWW. The Hebrew
equivalent resembles the arabic numeral 7; 777, which means,
in Hebrew, 666. Food for thought, eh?

Several times I've noted that people who have put challenging statements or questions in this forum have cut themselves off from being contacted. I find this very confusing. If you would like to engage in a dialogue, doesn't that imply a flow in both directions? Are religious people too unsure of themselves to have a follow-up question posed?

Please don't assume I know...it is only that these questions arise when I find people seal themselves off behind the door of total anonymity.

Why is it that christians can protest in front of an abortion clinic? Don't you think that is not promoting peace? Why are they so against homosexuality? Regardless if you believe it is wrong, who are you to judge? Isn't love one of the biggest things Jesus asks from us? Please mature answers only.

I believe in the power of the prayer ,maybe if more pray with me ,my suffering will be alliviate a little.
thank you for your care and compassion.
Mack
God bless you all

the dinosaurs were discovered. I mean that is a direct contradiction that has been proven scientifically of the supposed god's word about making the earth, including humans, in 7 days. The best arguments I have heard to this are 'God's day is not our days, and god's are not our thoughts, so I don't really see a contradiction.' ....Hmmmm..I wonder if a guy walks into court accused of murder and all the evidence pointing against him, he will get off he says to the judge..'You just can't understand why the evidence points against me because your ways are not my ways and your thoughts are not like mine.' ...seems such a weak argument it really shouldn't be considered..but, just wondering if there is anyone who wants to present a better one because I don't wanna think a group of people are stupid based on a few stupid words of some...

Then Why people don't just ask the Jews about their religious book to get true intepretation from this, like someone who want to learn Islam should ask a Arab about true interpretation of the Koran?
