What is the difference between someone who says...

"I'm glad I'm not like those sinners over there who do such and such while I pray and try to be good."

and someone who says...

"I'm glad I'm not like those religious types over there that judge people while I don't judge people at all"?

What attitude should one have?

Okay, I happen to drive by on your street late at night, simply to find your address, but not to call or bother you at that late hour.

Incredibly, I see that your house is on fire. No one else seems to notice; no alarms are going off and no fire department at the scene.

I sit in my car, wondering if I should disturb you with such information. You might not believe me if I tell you that your house is on fire; you might be angry and hateful, and say that I am hateful.

As I watch the fire consume your house, and wonder what I should do, I see an escape ladder come out of a bedroom window and family members half climb half fall down. The FD arrives and fights the fire.

As I visit you in hospital, and learn that one of your children died from the fire, and you were badly burned, you discover that I, your friend, sat outside for over half an hour with full knowledge of the danger, but never tried to warn you.

Do you still consider me to be your friend?

Joseph Smith stated that without the ordinances and authority of the priesthood no man can see the face of God and live (D & C 84:21, 22). He also said that he saw God in 1820 (Joseph Smith 2:17). Joseph Smith, however, never received any priesthood until 1829 (D&C 13). How did he see God and survive? In which was he in error: his revelation in D & C 84:21, 22 or his experience in the grove?

If there was a medical emergency could one pull the fire alarm to get attention? Has this ever happened where one had no phone and pulled the fire alarm? How would people know not to evacuate the building but rather the alarm was for a medical emergency? If 911 was called and the alarm was pulled to get more help would you get into trouble or would the fire department know you were trying to get help if you needed assistance in giving CPR etc?

That Jesus Christ returns to DESTROY those who DESTROY the EARTH? Who do you think this might be? If you don't know your Bible please don't put people down who do!

Please note that I am not any sort of preacher or other type of teacher in religion. I am a proud Christian and a soon to be high school student. But I think that this needs consideration and I feel quite strongly about it.
When all things are crumbling around someone and the world seems to end... whether it be life or spirituallity, death or delima, survive on the sole fact that if there is nothing left to hold on to remember that life will always put itself back together. That is the one sole truth on a persons life in this world because everything must reconstruct even if it does so in a completly different way then it was before. This truth is the one thing on this earth that can never be broken and never be changed. That is what I believe, my personal opinion and to those who oppose it, I shall not be offended. But my plea to the humans in pain on this world that can find nothing to hold on to is that there is a truth left that will always be there to cling to. Things that go wrong will not stay wrong. Things that look bleak will one day look clear. Everything will be put back together even if in a way one does not expect it. Hang on to this truth if there is nothing left to cling to and I believe it could save lives.

Always rember that it is God who gave us this unbeatable life-line if ever are we forced to use it.

I'd like to see how you'd explain this phenomenon:

IF -- God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever...

...and Christians have the Spirit...and are led by the Spirit...

THEN...

WHY have dearly held Church beliefs and dogma NEVER remained static? Why have they continually changed and evolved?

WHY are practices and beliefs formerly considered base or heretical now the norm in Christianity?

I try hard not to but I fail sometimes. I mean I'm only human and can and will admit my mistakes to God and ask for forgiveness and then I try not to commit them again.

Muslims believe that Jesus is Christ (Surah 3:45), was born of a virgin birth, and performed miracles. If a Muslim says he is a Christian also, isn't he correct? Muslim means one who submits to the will of GOD. Since Christians and Jews submit to GOD, could they technically be considered a Muslim?
