If God's law is be fertile and multiply then why when you become a priest they tell you that you have to be celebace? The one with the best and most detailed answer gets my vote. Use bible or other quotes as well!!!!!!

When you are in that "love bliss", do you notice strangers smiling at you and (almost) flirting with you? (more than normal)?

(It's a theory/hypothesis of mine, but I need to know your input before I consider including it in my next book. -- Thanks)

Mine was my size 50G breasts. My back, spine, shoulders, and constant hunching over my body just got worse. I had to go to chiropractors and massagers constantly and was wasting money. Also, my bras were like $45 a piece and after washing 4 times they would give way and my sisters would droop, so the store liked me cause I was constanly buying from them. Also, my asthma, and constant breathing trouble.

I know everyone has a body part that they would like to slim down but mine was my breasts, breathing, and of course just needed to slim down from 260 pounds. Sorry, no breast reduction. Don't have the $12,000.00 Thanks.

I see a lot of people who only affirm the spiritual "invisible" aspect of Christ's church, but deny the fact that it is also a visible institution.

In the book of Acts, these three offices are described:
Deacon (greek - diakonos / διάκονος )
Priest (greek - presbyteros / πρεσβυτερος )
Bishop (greek - episkopos / επίσκοπος )

This is the hierarchy already described in "Acts" in the Bible. And, those are the offices in the Catholic Church too. (Other titles are honorary. For example, Cardinals are just bishops, and the pope is actually a bishop too, but since his diocese is Rome, where Peter last ministered, he is the successor of Peter, and therefore "pope".)

Isnt it therefore correct that the 2000 year old Catholic Church, with Peter's successor as its earthly head, most closely resembles the Biblical Church?

NO GIFTS! NONE! Would you ever celebrate like that? I would like to one year, just to see what it was like. No stress...just great food, and family...of course the tree still has to go up!

If god is all powerful, then he could see into the future. so if he knows how each of us will end up, then there is a destiny. if there is a destiny then we don't have a choice. also if god is all-powerful then he created the "devil" and he created us. so he created a problem and a solution. hmmm.......doesn't sound very god like. when you think about it, why did he create us at all. he is all powerful, so the only reason to create us would be for his enjoyment. that's kinda selfish "god."
people need to stop having faith and use logic. seriously think about it. if you think you are insulting your god by questioning him, then that's not a god i would want to worship anyway.
do you agree?

i've been thinking that i've been gay for three years now, and i can remember a little before that of liking girls, but the thought that i could be a lesbian never crossed my mind. i know its really common for people to go throught a stage where they think they're gay, in fact i've heard most people question their sexuality at some time or another, and end up being straight. is it possible that even thought ive been feeling this way for a few years now, thats it's just a stage and that i'll end up being straight?

How do you feel about the LDS church and the treatment of blacks prior to 1978? And after?

Was it really racist that black men could not become priests before 1978? Was 1978 a little late to accept blacks equally?

Was Brigham Young a racist?
"Why are so many of the inhabitants of the earth cursed with a skin of blackness? It comes in consequence of their fathers rejecting the power of the Holy Priesthood, and the law of God. They will go down to death" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, p. 272)

Lots of questions. Thanks for answering.

is it better to choose life over the church? God forgives all sins when we ask forgiveness, why cannot organization to have more mercy on their members? Or is this the survival of the fittest?

The Husband Store

A brand new store has just opened in New York City that sells
Husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the
instructions at the entrance:- "You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!
There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you
ascend the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor,
or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down
except to exit the building!


So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.


On the 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have
jobs.

The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and
are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have
Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help with Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men
Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and
Have A Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes
to the 6th floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men
on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store .

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives
store just across the street.

The 1st floor has wives that love sex.

The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited.

they dont know that what is written in the bible is true! god told me HIMSELF that the bible wasnt written the way he intended, he told me that his words were twisted around and used for the bad. he told me himself.

and before you tell me it wasnt, how do you know that what is written in the bible is true and how do you know god wasnt speaking to me? I want to know why Im wrong and you're right. He said so himself that you have all been mislead and that its about time you all learn his true ways.
