Are you going to heaven for something you've done? Or is it a choice you made believe in the seemingly impossible? I say seemingly impossible because not everyone can reason that a God you cannot see came down in the form of a man, died on the cross, rose again, and opened up heaven for us.. And if you do believe this, then why can't we believe Him for the other things he tells us?

I am doing some research and I was wondering what you call your partners. I don't mean like so me girl or guy you just have dated, but your life partner. If you are not able to marry and cant be wives or husbands what do you consider each other to be? life partners, girlfriends, boyfriends, not just lovers I am sure. I hope I asked that question right. and by the way, I am not be gay but I am so for the gay comunity. so this isn't to hurt or offend anyone and their life style choices.

1. of, pertaining to, or derived from Jesus Christ or His teachings.
2. of, pertaining to, believing in, or belonging to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
-The Mormon faith claims to follow the teachings of Christ, just like every other "christian" church. Doesn't that make them Christian?-

For now, I will follow Brother William of Ockham's lex parsimoniae teaching and say that I see no need for a god but I am open to other opinions. I don't ask for much. Thomas - one of the twelve who had followed Jesus, lived with him, heard him preach, saw his miracles, and even received the first communion directly from him - Thomas did not believe until he was allowed to touch the wounds of the risen Jesus.

If Thomas is in heaven, then I have to assume I'm going to get my chance to see proof before I'm condemned. As soon as I see the proof, I'll change my mind. It doesn't have to be the actual stigmata, I'll make do with a burning bush.

If I'm wrong, why? If Thomas was allowed wait for proof, why not me (and you, and all of us)? Why save him, one of the twelve people who should have had faith, despite his lack of faith and condemn me?

Is there evidence that the events described in the story actually occurred? And would there have been reasons for inventing such a man as Joseph had he not existed?

I've been following an eclectic path between chritianity, unitarianism and earth based spirituality for some time now. Every once in a while my guides bring me a new philisophical idea to ponder. Right now it's the Messiah. I've been reading a variety of stories and they all sound simmilar to me. A time of great suffering (already here as far as I'm concerened) a time of prophets and false prophets and then a great savior wiping out the devil and everyone celebrating. So, do they all seem similar to you? Do you believe they are true prophacy and will happen (or already are)?

Why can't we being to accept each person as individuals instead of bashing their group? Why do people expect individuals to be able to represent their whole group or their country? This is pure bs. When will people start to respect people as individuals and get rid of questions of why do White, Black or Hispanic or Asian people do so and so seriously. wtf... or else your country has a high crime rate, thus you must be a criminal what kind of naieve logic is that?? However, I see this on the forum all the time. I seriously don't get the point...

I have asked many different Christians for an explanation of the Trinity, including teachers, fathers, and brothers. I have only received answers that further confuse me.

In both rhetoric and science, writers clarify difficult concepts by rewording them in a version of English known as E-Prime. E-Prime bases itself on the same rules as English with one additional rule that abolishes all forms of the verb 'to be'. (The forms of "to be" that E-Prime excludes include the words: "is," "are," "were," "was," "am," "be," "been," and their contractions.) This concept should remind everyone of their high-school English classes and research papers.

So, can someone explain the concept of the Trinity to me using E-Prime (excluding 'to be' verbs)?
