I'll think God will take drinking and womanizing over fraud in his name any day.

Galatians 3:28 says for "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave or free, male or female, in Christ we are one."

If God doesn't see us as male or female...he obviously doesn't see us as gay or straight.....

Do you believe this part of the Bible? Or, do the verses that condemn homosexuality trump this one? Or, does it come down to where your heart is?

This has had a big impact on me. I know it happens everywhere but I can't seem to shake the feeling that, although I believe in God, religious organizations are just one big lie. My husband is an Atheist so he can't help me in my dilemma. Can anyone offer any hope?

Why do churches schedule baptisms for a later date when EVERY example of a conversion in the book of Acts has the convert being baptized immediately?

Baptism is specifically mentioned in all of these conversions, and none of these converts ate, drank, slept, or continued a journey until they were baptized.

For example Saul (Paul), had no food or drink for three days (Acts 9:9). When Annanias instructed him, “be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16), he was baptized before he ate! (Acts 9:18-19) Surely he must have been hungry!

The eunuch was baptized in the middle of a journey! (Acts 8:35-39) The Jailor was baptized about midnight! (Acts 16:25, 33) In Acts 2, about 3000 were all baptized the same day.

Do you believe praying helps deal with or resolve issues or to bring guidance in your life, or do you feel that it is of no value?

Most religious people believe that their religion is the only one that can get them into Heaven. Since people in areas concentrated with certain religions tend to grow up to follow that religion (Mexico and Catholicism, Middle East and Islam for example), how do you justify that God put people in places that you believe they won't follow the "correct" religion?

I can't understand some of my colleagues and relatives who are working their little ****'s off and salting as much as they can of their earnings away into pensions etc so that they can have a cushty retirement, some of them hardly see their partners and children except when they're completely shattered. They'll be too worn out to enjoy their pensions or dead the way some of them are going!!
There has to be a happy medium doesn't there?

It doesn't matter how or why you know, but if you truly knew you were giving birth to the Antichrist, would you abort? Why or why not?

Gays being given the right to marry, which would legally indicate the federal government supports all its citizens?

The APA revelation that homosexuality is not a disease but is a natural condition? (Already occurred but news travels slowly.)

The fact that animals in the wild (over 1,500 species so far discovered) exhibit "gay" behavior (have sex with their own gender!) (This phenomenon arguing in favor that homosexuality is a "natural state" as opposed to a "chosen state of evil or deviance"?)

Violence against gays, "gay motivated hate crimes"?

The fact that Jesus never spoke a single word in his life against homosexuality, nor did God in his direct communication (for those who believe in Old Testament) with the Ten Commandments?

Something not listed here? Please share what you feel would help to sway those filled with hate to a more loving and accepting posture.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

If a baby is born blind for them the reality of life is that thier is no light....How do they eventually grow to know what the world looks like? can they imagine what the sky is like? a mountain, a ocean? they usually have a keen knack for smell and touch and that is the reason they can imagaine what the ocean might be like.. they have a proof without sight....

When you cannot see GOD, you believe when you give your entire self to him body mind and soul when you show him you obey the FIRST COMMANDMENT and then you see the POWER he gives to those with a sincere heart by the Holy Spirit working in thier life.

This is no different than a person born blind or deaf they know something is real when everyday life tells them different..

If you are blind and never choose to see if something is real then don't you always walk in darkness and I guess that would be a reality as well.
Thoughts?

My 22 year old son returned from a mission a little over a year ago. He attends the singles ward. He has always been akward, hasn't dated much, was always picked on. He has been active in the LDS Church..

Well, he has a girl friend that is Baptist that has attended church a few times but you can tell she is not interested in the church. For months he told us that they were "just friends." I guess he thought we were stupid since we knew this wasn't true. They are talking about marriage.

He currently is suppose to pay us "rent" of $175 per month plus he still owes us over $485 for bailing him out of a financial mess.

We are strong and active members of the LDS Church. The way things are going, they will not get married in the Temple and this breaks our hearts. Who knows if he will remain active in the Church. We already have one son that is totally inactive.

I assume we just learn to love this girl, who doesn't seem to like us. This may not seem like a big deal but it hurts

Is it possible that God would allow the devil to introduce someone into your life that is not a christian relationship, knowing what we are going to choose, 2 help you and that person on your path to salvation.

Even if it meant you would be shuned by the Church you are attending?

What if you were led to become a youth pastor and the people that have been supporting you would no longer support you in your calling?
