Matthew 7:24
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (KJV)

Matthew 5:29
29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (KJV)

Did Jesus have great wisdom in his teachings?

Who in their right mind would pluck out their eye and think that it was profitable?

I work as a freelancer and there’s this guy for whom I sometimes do work and he’s a Mormon. When I first started working for him, he tried, as all Mormons do I’m sure, to surreptitiously convert me to Mormonism by bringing me muffins that his wife made and oranges from his tree at home then dropping off some Mormon propaganda pamphlets. After that I quickly let it be known that I’m about as interested in becoming a Mormon as Mike Tyson is in becoming a ballerina.

The thing is, I noticed that he kept on talking about the grocery shops he goes to, the radio station he listens to, the freakin’ Chinese restaurant he goes to…it’s as though he was compelled to convert me to something!

Anyone else ever notice this?

How are people so sure that they're religion is the only TRUE religion?

Whether your Christian, Catholic, Muslim, etc....What are the explanations from some religious groups, in answering why they think that their religion is the only correct one?

I was a christian at one point of my life but, that's because I was raised as one. As I've gotten older, I've gotten off the wagon of organized religion.

I believe that there is a higher power or some type of governing hand-maybe it's because I have to, I'm not sure. I'm a good person and don't live my life perfectly-it's impossible...but, I live it the best that I can and try to learn from my mistakes.

I'd like to get some answers to my question above and would like to read your thoughts and opinions on religion-in any way.

My "across the street" neighbors leave their house at all hours of the day and night.

They get in their huge SUV and drive away. 20 minutes later they come back, stay for exactly 35 minutes and do it again. Every single day, around the clock. No weekends, no holidays...

What could they possibly be doing?
Stores close. People sleep. ????

I'm not making this up!
I'm scared to ask, not that it's any of my business anyway. They seem friendly (normal) enough. It's an older couple with 2 grown kids. Their youngest just graduated college. They're quiet about it (leaving at all hours of the night), but not secretive at all.

I'm just really curious. The kind of curious that drives you crazy...
You can set your watch by these people.

Any and all ideas welcome!

should i
1.) try to sheepishly release it without much commotion
2.) excuse myself to the loo, at the expense of losing out on this interview (cos they might think i'm disinterested)
3.) try to create an adequately loud diversion like coughing out loud, or dragging the chair across the floor or pretending i choked...

what should i do?

As a side note, I would like to ask those of you that pray to pray for him or those of you that meditate, to meditate for him, or anything. I may not believe in prayer, but I believe in positive energy and I hope any positive energy out there can reach him. On to my original question (if some nazi doesn't have my question deleted for the above comment)...I'd like to hear some words of wisdom that I could send him to help him get through the next time period in his life. Thank you very much!

John 5:31
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. (KJV)

John 8:18
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. (KJV)

According to these scriptures, Jesus was a false witness, right?

I am hoping to one day be as righteous as him in this life. For I beleive the Blood was not needed, but all are to lazy to seek the Lord for his ways and righteousness, or lack the faith to believe.

It is said that Adam and Moses were born circumcised, being the image of god, why didn't he do us all instead of putting us under the knife. The greatest of sinners were these two

our apparent mind/ body dualism? If you say that our "mind" (specifically our first-person, subjective experiences) is made of physical substance, please tell me how this is so. What is the experience of a thought made of?

You might point out that dualism has its own "problems." You say, 'how could a soul outside space and time interact with a physical body?' Well, I think Descartes answered that one sufficiently. They interact in your pituitary gland. 'Nuff said.

I heard that they are now teaching "sex ed" in the public schools. Knowing that Mormon youth are forbidden to know about sex they must have to be homeschooled. It must be hard for Mormons to keep their kids sheltered from sex because once they find out they'll be addicted to it!!!

This is quite often the case. So for the Mormons that don't home school their young: how in the world do you manage to keep them away from sex?
