THE ENCOUNTER
1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 3 The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in0the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
Ezekiel is among the exile community by the Chebar River and he sees a revelation from the Elohiym.

was she married to Joseph before or after the "immaculate conception" It is possible that Joseph impregnated her and to cover their actions went on about god, I mean there is no real proof that she was a virgin and the father was not Joseph's and what about Jesus siblings Mary a Joseph must have had sex and childeren, or did the labour and child pushing for a "virgin" damage her so that she could not?
what about Jesus's girlfriend/concubine marry magdolin has it ever said in the bible that he was a virgin at death and she was alway there around him, she would have had a child and never told anyone because the would have come after the baby, now really does that not make more sense

Some TV evangelists live very extravagent lives in the name of god! Is this appropriate? How can they spend millions of dollars on things they don't need when they claim to b spreading the word of god who wants all to b happy and healthy? There r children starving in this world and they fly around on private jets! http://www.inplainsite.org/html/tele-eva...

It used to be transulent and was on a stick.....came in diferent colors like red, clear, gold, blue, and red .....my late grandmother would only give them out around xmas and they were individually wrapped in clear cellophane.....didn't taste very good, but sure were pretty!!! I'm looking to purchase something similar for my sister to rejuvenate old holiday memories, so if you can think of the name and where to find them, I'd appreciate it..........

I've learned that within the circles of Mormons there are instituted; priesthood of Aaron and priesthood of Melchizedek

a) Why are these names chosen for these "priesthoods"

b) What are the criteria’s for being elected or appointed to priesthood of Aaron?

c) Are members of priesthood of Aaron actual descendants of the tribe of Levi (Num 3:9-10)

d) On what Scriptural basis are people elected or appointed to priesthood of Melchizedek

At first it could seem like exercise in blasphemy or ignorance on LDS’s side. That’s why I am asking.

Please no jokes or ignorant answers, but instead back it up with passages from our holy Scripture.

Thank you in advance and God Bless

God creates hell, then threatens us with it if we don't believe. Sounds like the Mafia to me. Is there some theological point I'm missing?

At church this morning, the sermon was about preparing for Christmas. It got me to thinking about how commercial everything really is. Stores start decorating for Christmas now before Halloween!! For some, Christmas can't begin until it gets cold or snows. For some it doesn't begin until they buy that first present. What puts you in the holiday spirit?

I have a business that has limited parking that I pay rent and upkeep on. When I get in in the morning I see that several cars are already in the lot. They are there all day and are gone by the time I leave and back the next day. I assume that the cars belong to employees of surrounding businesses. I frequently see cars leave because of no place to park. I have the legal right to tow but I want to give notice first. I would like to send a letter to the businesses or put notes on the cars to give notice but I would like to word the letter in a way that does not create ill will. I am not angry I just want my customers to have a place to park.

I have heard from many that are non-religious that they keep other's in their thoughts when going through a difficult time. What is the point of this? If someone believes in a 'God' that answers prayers, then I can see the point of someone saying they will pray for another person. I am not trying to be mean, but what is accomplished with thinking about another person. Isn't it basically powerless? Yes, I know that some believe prayer is powerless, but the person that is praying does NOT think that way. If someone is simply thinking about another person's situation, what is that person believing they are accomplishing?

Okay I have a few questions to ask, as of right now I guess I am a catholic, but I need to hear the opposing side of these questions because if I ask my parents they start calling me the devil and saying I am possesed....
1) Jesus said the Pope will be pure and never make mistakes, yet there have been corrupt popes in the past.
2) The catholic church used to hear confessions for money...corruption?
