I mean, when he told Moses "I am what I am", I can't help thinking that Popeye's mantra "I am what I am , and I aint no more" can't be merely coincidence, can it?

Just a few questions to Mormons. I’m just trying to understand your reasoning about the things below. Also if the Bible’s teachings conflict with the Book of Mormon, which one do you believe? The Bible or the Book of Mormons?

Thanks a lot.


“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens,” stated Joseph Smith. “You have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, . . . the same as all Gods have done before you.” Mormon prophet Lorenzo Snow said: “As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may become.”


Says the LDS magazine Ensign: “We look upon what Adam and Eve did with great appreciation rather than with disdain.”



Adam: Jesus’ helper in the creation. Brigham Young stated: “Our father Adam came into the garden of Eden . . . and brought Eve, one of his wives. . . . He is our Father and our God.” (Journal of Discourses, Volume I, page 50, 1854 Edition) After his sin, Adam became earth’s first Christian. (The Pearl of

Please state your religion (the one you were baptized under) and what you follow, in case you follow other teachings than your original religion.

I just saw this as an answer and it prompted a question.

Here is the question and answer:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aj0vT2RlnBGocjJ88OrzLWzsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071119102003AArwMnO

(The answer:
bible come first, before a man, before a church, before a preacher. bible tells us so.)

I have read the bible completely many times. The Bible states the Church came before the bible did. Am I wrong? Where in the bible does it say the bible came before the church or man or preacher?

I mean,
think about it,
i can't even remember a conversation word for word
that i had yesterday...
how is someone gonna record years and years of
conversations and events into a book and call it a bible?

And another thing,
no one can say for sure whether heaven or hell exsists.
I know there are psycho mother ******* who go around
saying that they
"have seen the light"

when science has actually proved thats is a chemical
reaction in your brains frontal lobes
before a body is no longer sending signals through out the body
with orders.

And im a "gotta prove it" to me kinda person.
And i wouldnt be ranting as much if i didnt waist
my ignorant youth on believing a fictional god.

Im sorry if i offended anyone with this..it really wasnt my intent.

What was served at the original Thanksgiving? I suspect that there was a lot more sea food and maybe not turkey at all?

Can some one give me a menu of the original Thanksgiving?

I see this number thrown around constant. However I have never seen one person give any proof. For instance a list of them all. Or is this a number someone made up just for shocks sake? Most protestants fall into one of the following descriptions. This is not a list of 33,000. So where does the 33,000 come from? Is it just Catholic propaganda?

* Anabaptist
* Anglican / Episcopalian
* Baptist
* Calvinist
* Charismatic
* Congregational
* Gospel Hall Brethren
* Lutheran
* Methodist / Wesleyan
* Non-denominational
* Pentecostal
* Presbyterian
* Quakerism

Why would God want us to come to him becasue of fear of eternal suffering? I seek religion for inner peace. Does that make me selfish? I feel like every answer, when it comes to religion, just creates more questions. End the maddness!!!
