Will you read, pray and ask God if The Book of Mormon, is God's word?

If not... why? Read Proverbs 18:13,15 He who answereth before he heareth the whole matter, it is shame and folly unto him.
James 1:5-6
5.)If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.
6.) but let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, for he that wavereth is like a wave upon the sea driven and tossed.

The one that says how will they learn unless they have someone to teach and how can they put faith without someone to teach..My mind is blank this morning.

Did God plan for Satan to rebel and to be driven out of Heaven? If so, than does that mean that God is the author of sin and evil, or that he planned Satan's actions for a particular purpose?

Or, if God did not plan for Satan to do what he did, then does that mean that Angels had free will, and Satan made the choice to do what he did on his own?

I find this story fascinating, but it has never made total sense to me.

What do you think about it?

Do you not know that GOD said," It is an abomination for man to lie with man as with a woman? And that HE created the male and female?And that a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and the two shall become one flesh?How then can you say that homosexuality is ok?Do you not know that GOD gave HIS only begotten SON to be crucified on the cross in your place to set you free from sin?GOD loves us all and said,"Love the sinner but hate the sin.Truth is I love you, but I really hate homosexuality.Those who participate in homosexuality are not"Homosexuals".They are no different than us,they are just trapped in sin.Know the truth and the truth will make you free.Jesus said,"I am the TRUTH,What do you believe?

I am because if God does exist, why does he not stop people in poor countries such as Afria and India starving and living in poverty?

I know someone on her will say something about the debt owed by them to the Western word, but surely, if God stands for miracles, why has he not intervened and flourished the land with vegetation and clean water?

What are your thoughts on this?

I dont have anything against USA, I have relatives in there, but some things are just over the line for me.

I keep hearing everywhere I see some American movie 'proud American, proud American'. Why they have so much patriotism in their minds?

US flags are everywhere. I go shopping and I see t-shirts with US flags, but I cant get any t-shirt with Slovenian flag, or I have to order it. When relatives came to visit us, they give us all kinds of stuff, pens with US flag, shirts, blankets, fridge magnets, plates, everything with US flag on. Then I get that feeling like if USA wants that everyone would worship US flag.

Why South Americans risk their lives and illegaly migrate to USA, if they can already find a better life in their country? I saw documentaries and its not so horrible to live in there, like they say. They can have anything if they work hard.

The Bible tells us:

As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
—Acts 10:25,26
Peter refused worship in light of the Law that said,

You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.
In Revelation 19:10, when the apostle John saw an angel, he said,

I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God.
Even the angel of the Lord refused to be worshipped.

However, here are many more verses showing that Jesus allowed Himself to be worshipped, simply because He was God "manifest in the flesh":

While he spoke these things to them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay your hand upon her, and she shall live
—Matthew 9:18

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God
—Matthew 14:33

Then she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me
—Matthew 15:25

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him
—Matthew 28:9

When they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted
—Matthew 28:17

He received their worship because He was…

…the image of the invisible God…
—Colossians 1:15) …God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory…
—1 Timothy 3:16, (emphasis added)

A reseasonable and intelligent person would have to suppose that if God gave us free-will we would be able to just be dead when we die and not have to deal with the nonsense of heaven or hell

I understand that a modicum of faith is necessary, given that human perception is fallible, but many people speak of faith as if they take it for granted that faith is always admirable.

Simple observation shows that faith does not always have positive results (ie. the attacks of 9/11). How do we know that our faith is good, or that we have faith in the right things? Should we "have faith in faith", so to speak?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

This is my homework which I did on Summer Holidays, in German, and I was wondering if it's written correctly ie if the grammer is right and so on. Please don't copy and paste on an online translator for the answer - they don't give a good translation. If you speak German please tell me if this is right, or not:

Ich findet Australien prima, und fantastisch, aber meine doof Mutter findet das langweilig, und ist Angst von Insekten – in Australian es gibt sehr viel Insekten!
Wir bleiben drei Wochen, aber meine Tante, mein Onkel and meine Cousine Emily bleiben fünf Woche – Glück ihnen!
Meine Familien and ich bleibe im Ferienhaus, aber meine Grossmutter, mein Grossvater, und die anderen bleiben im Hotel – langweilig!
In Australien, ist es fast immer sonnig, so hoffe ich wir kann besichtigen der Strand, und gehen Sporttauschen und Surfen. Mann kann habe Barbecues in der Strand und viel sonnen baden.
