But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
- 2 Timothy 3:14,15.

I like King James. I have seen more recent Bibles where I almost cannot recognize as anywhere the same verses.

I know the story that humans sinned so badly that God could never accept us in heaven. Therefore He sent His only begotten son to die for our past, present, and future sin.

Alright you don't need to explain this part.

If I killed a man how does my brother crucifying himself clean my sin? I stilled killed the man and I am still guilty and I still go to jail and I still got an evil heart.

After Jesus died did that make us less sinful? No.
We are still sinning and being as evil as we would be without Jesus sacrificing Himself.

Jesus playing dead for three days is irrevelant to our sins.

Its like saying that popping a balloon will make it snow in Malaysia. It is totally irrevelant.

So what if we believe Jesus played dead for three days?

We are still as sinful as we are and this sinful nature that we posses is what God can't accept in heaven.

So our sin is not cleansed, it is still here. Believing in Jesus won't cleanse it either.

Just don't make sense to me.

How can we understand something even more complex than the universe? This doesn't make sense. I mean the universe baffles the minds of even the most creative geniuses, and for people to tell you that there is this all powerful god in the sky, and that they understand it, sounds ludicrous to me.

The Westboro Baptist Church. If you could say whatever you wanted to these radicals, what would it be?

Personally, I can't stand these idiots. All I ever hear them saying or speaking (and ranting) about in the media is "You're going to hell" & "Fags!" & other things that are so violent. They can't even back up what they hatefully preach with an intelligent argument.

God is a loving God - if they truly thought they were "The One & Only Right" religion, I honestly believe they'd preach with love and the intention to SAVE souls, not harrass them with judgement and hate...

This is the Religion & Spirituality section after all. So when did that happen? I've always heard it takes a lot of faith to swallow some of the theories.

Christians I was wondering if you believe that aliens exist?

You Christians claim that the Bible has all the knowledge of how, when, where, what ,and why life was created and everything that God has done.

The Bible explains that God created angels and humans and animals on earth. That pretty much covers up everything God has created from earth to heaven.

If God doesn't mention aliens in His creations and only speaks of how He sacrificed Himself for us it could be claimed that God did not create any other lifeform outside earth.

I think it would be absurd if God created other lifeforms in other parts of the universe and gave them free will and then going through another self-sacrifice.

Besides, there is only one evil source namely Satan that serves as our earthly test. This Satan only dwells on earth and not in other worlds.

That is why aliens can not exist.

If aliens exist or come to earth it directly proves that Christianity is fake.

It just seems odd to me that slavery is now considered evil by most religious people when for the longest time it was not.

If a man is justified by faith, and his sin merely imputed to Christ, so that Christ's righteousness is imputed to him, so that the sinner can be forgiven and gain salvation; why isn't Jesus Christ in Hell? That is the destiny of the one still guilty of sin right? So if he get's our guilt, and we his righteousness, why does he not get the whole penalty, since we get the whole reward?

Seriously, I'm just curious.
Can I go to one of the churches as a non-Mormon, like, to visit?
What does one have to do to convert to that faith.
Uhm. That's it.

I'd appreciate serious answers only, please - preferably from LDS people, or those who happen to know a heck of a lot about it!

Ever heard that phrase: "you are the answer to my prayers" or "you are God sent"???

Well, do you believe that your deity, god / God sends you the answer to your prayers through another person even if that person doesn't share your religion?

For example, say I prayed to God to for a nice good friend and one day I meet this extraordinary person and we remain friends forever. However she is a Wiccan / Muslim / Buddhist / etc.?

What do you guys think?
