I watch Maury Povich a lot and a few days ago he was doing a story about the Mormons in Utah and their polygamy lifestyle.

He showed a Mormon family but the host wife and the husband had their heads blacked out. The ancillary wives appeared happy and the children appeared happy. Do they usually live this way?

What was the purpose of baptism before the arrival of Jesus? (Like what John the Baptist did.) Isn't the point of baptism to receive the Holy Spirit? Which wasn't sent until after Jesus left Earth.

Can one receive the Holy Spirit without being baptised? Must one be baptised to enter Heaven?

According to the Bible, who can perform a baptism?

I would appreciate verses if you happen to know them. Thank you.

Really, think about it. Where is your proof? I have what I believe is mine. The chicken was first. Can anyone else answer this question and support it? Like can you prove the egg was first? And yes, I am in the correct section...R&S., and yes I AM serious. Essay answers not neccessary. Short and to the point is fine. However all serious answers will be taken into account.

If so, am i not just fulfilling my Dharma, i am made to be this way. If one fulfils Dharma then how would that constitute one's fate to hell? I believe in Karma. I also know the 3 major reasons as to why Hindus do not eat meat.

1) The Dharmic Law Reason
2) The Karmic Consequences Reason
3) The Spritual Reason

If Hinduism is about realizing God/Self through meditation, prayer, worship, reason, and dedicated action, should i even worry about my actions as a hindu eating meat? If that is so, shouldn't i be leading an asectic's life; Harm no life form of God. Should i worry myself about my afterlife so much so that i can't serve the Lord wholly, with no inhibitions as to if i had stepped out of line with reference to the 3 Laws.

I'm saved, (I hope) I said the sinners prayer and all that years ago, but I'm not a good christian at all. I can't think of very many of Gods Laws and commandments I haven't broken at one time or another. I am sorry for all my sins, but some how I always seem to commit more of them. Well, I'm wanting to get my life back on track now, but I feel I need Gods help to do it, do you think God answers the prayers of sinners?

According to evolutionary theory, comets are supposed to be the same age as the solar system, about five billion years. Yet each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses so much of its material that it could not survive much longer than about 100,000 years. Many comets have typical maximum ages (on this basis) of 10,000 years.(1)

Evolutionists explain this discrepancy by assuming that (a) comets come from an unobserved spherical 'Oort cloud' well beyond the orbit of Pluto, (b) improbable gravitational interactions with infrequently passing stars often knock comets into the solar system, and (c) other improbable interactions with planets slow down the incoming comets often enough to account for the hundreds of comets observed.(2) So far, none of these assumptions has been substantiated either by observations or realistic calculations.

What do you think of the Gift of the tongues?
Acts 2
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
1 cor. 13:1
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels"

There is differant kinds of tongues also.

and.....Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

I KNOW for a fact that there are spirits among us. But if a person were to see one, say for instance, me, how would I know how to distinguish whether it's intentions are to harm or help me?

Please no funny stuff, this is serious.

I've heard a lot of different stuff, like extend your hand and offer a hand shake, and if he/she accepts it, then you're o.k., but I want to know the real way.

Many Christians believe that being gay is wrong. There's no doubt about that.. but, shouldn't they be focusing their anger towards sins that really hurt others. Take for example, murder, lying, unfaithfulness .. etc.. where as being homosexual is just a variation to typical relationships, just like heterosexuals, their are gays that stay faithful and gays that are promiscuous. Whats your opinion on this? I just feel that gays are viewed so negatively where as other 'sins' in my opinion are much worse.
