Why do non-believers reject this basic fact? It's in the Unibible: Zathryus 4: 12-13: 'Lo, beholdeth. For My single-pointed Sons hath made merry and in their merriment the spotteth existeth where no lighteth can emergeth.'

Is it from birth? Conception? When do you have your "soul"??

When I received my missionary lessons, I would told that the LDS faith is all about eternal families, a man and woman get sealed together for time and all eternity and their whole family is together forever. So what's up with the scripture in D&C about polygamy? I asked my branch president about it and he said that God "commanded us to do it" and that if "done righteously" it's a blessing not a sin. I don't agree with that at all. I don't think god EVER intended for people to be polygamous. When I joined the Church, I thought polygamy was just a stereotype from past Mormon practices, I didn't know they still believed in and practiced it today. This is just scary and an abomination.

One of the most subtle discoveries in science concerns the expansion of universe, its tendency constantly to extend its boundaries. This was something completely unknown to the human being until the last century. This mystery is, however, mentioned by the Quran in the following terms, which again bear witness to its remarkable profundity when discussing such matters:

“We created the heavens(universe) with Our strength and power, and constantly expand them”. (51:47)

Did you pray today?

Okay, here's a metaphor for you (compliments of another question asked yesterday, which got me thinking, since the other answer wanted to find out the health benefits of the water)

Let's say you are stranded in a desert and have no water. Your car broke down and your cell phone is not working because you are too far away. No other car has been by so you had to abandon your vehicle to walk the 80 miles to town. Time is running out and you can't wait until dark to travel.

Your water jugs are now completely used up and you're really thirsty. At last, you come up to a water wagon, ran by a man who has the water already bottled up and it's waiting for you. The man has a t-shirt on that says, Jesus loves you and so do I. Will you get a drink of water, or would you keep crawling?

What if you had kids with you and it had been several hours since you ran out of water and it's really hot out and your kids are dehydrated?

I see places sometimes stating they are a place for christian entertainment. I guess they play Chrisian music and such and some have like capuccino and espresso but I really can't imagine what you would do at a Christian Entertainment place. Anybody have any insight?

Since Jesus did not come back when he was supposed too.... Wouldnt that mean that christianity is a false religion. If the world ends in the year 2012 (like many christians now claim) wouldnt that prove that the mayan and aztec religions are the true relgions and christianity is fake...?

First, I am a white man dating a black woman. We get more hatred thrown at us from white people.
Second, most of the questions regarding racism are asked by white people on here. Especially questions about the N word and who is allowed and not allowed to use it--why do whites want to use the word so bad? Additionally, whites on here continually ask about why black people do this or that--what is the problem? I don't see many black people asking racist themed questions about white people.
So I have to ask, who is more racist?
Why?

I want to get a tattoo that basically says, "what will be, will be" in italian, and I've found that "que sera sera" is Spanish. How do you say it in Italian the right way, so that I won't have a misspelled and/or improper tattoo on my body for the rest of my life?

non Christians call Christians closed minded when we dont see things their way and accept their way of life in us. I think that we would all get along better if we would stop expecting otheirs to accept what they find unacceptable

I get a weird sense of deja vu all the time and i was just wondering if there was some reason behind it just seems to happen at the most random moments

2007-06-18 03:40:16 · 16 answers · asked by brandy0084 2 in Religion & Spirituality

just a random question.
there is so much adultery in the world and people seem to fall so easily. even through internet contact. senario:your chatting in a chat room, meet someone of the opposite sex that you like talkin to online, you both are married (or at least one of you is), you two exchange phone numbers and have long conversations on the phone when you both can be alone, (lets say from like 10 am to 3pm) you live in two different states, and now there are feelings developing and you two end up fallin in love (if thats even possible), so now here you are married and so is the other person (possibly) but you love someone else, lets say that the relationship between the two of you have been ended 2 or 3 times because one spouse found out, so they let it cool off for a few months then it starts all over again. why is it so hard to break? why is so strong? is there a christian reason for this? what steps do a christian take to get over it? is this part of spiritual warfare?

Do tell.

I've recently read "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris and "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I'm working on "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and I just purchased "End of Faith" by Sam Harris. Then what's next? I'm thinking of purchasing "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster". Is this sold in book stores and is it a good read?

I like my neighbor, she is nice, her kids are nice. We are friendly.

She is soooo flippin loud. Face to face she mumbles & I can barely hear her....then she stands on her porch hollering to her kids, talking to her kids & her dog....clear as day & LOUD. ALLL THE TIME, ALL HOURS OF THE DAY! She's ALWAYS out there, talking, hollering. I can't leave my windows open, forget about quietly reading the paper & having some coffee.

"Aaaaannnnndreeeeewwwwww! Soooooooppppphhhhhiiieeeeee....." It's driving me insane. How to I get her to shut up w/out hurting her feelings & making her self concious? I know other neighbors have told her before...she doesn't get it.

My sanity thanks you for your advice!

Is it the same as the end times and the second coming? All of which have been happening 'soon' for about 2000 years. Why is it that every christian generation believes it is going to happen in their lifetime?! Can't they understand that people have been saying the SAME THING for years and years!!

God can supposedly do ANYTHING at will, why all the fire and brimstone? Why all the suffering? If nothing is beyond his grasp, what difference does it make if we suffer. He could inactuality, just will you to feel like you have suffered if you wanted, he could choose to not cause you to suffer. He could WILL the non-existence of the devil and all negative influence on man. Please explain.
