If we pre-existed as spirits in Heaven with God the Father, why is it we can't remember that time, and why is it we had to go to earth to be born just to go back to Heaven later? explain that.

"Everyone has the power of psycic abilities. Three fourths of the people on earth just don't try to enhance it by meditating. Therefore most of us don't even know we have special abilities." so do you believe so?

With all the modern means of birth control and pregnancy prevention how many feel it is murder to kill a human no mater what stage of development it is in? If not shouldn't we amend and extend abortion laws until the kid is at least a year old just so we can see if it is a keeper? Tell me why it would be more wrong?

Is it's really an excuse to not be obedient?

If a parent tells a child to go clean his/her room or get their butt whipped with a belt;the kid is in no position to claim "Pascals Wager" becuase the kid isnt the one making the rules; the parent is.If a kid tries to use Pascals wager as a way to justify not cleaning his/her room,he/she will promptly feel a belt smacking their bare behind.
Same with God, tryna tell Him that's Pascals Wager will get you no where with Him;you'll only be delaying your punishment and torment by a few seconds maybe.But ultimately arguing pascals wager has only gotten you the punishment men and women of Christ have been warning about.

So how much longer do atheist plan on using Pascals wager as an excuse to be disobedient?

Again remember,you're not making the rules,God is.

The Question of His Return

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

— Luke 4:18–19


In 1999, as the world prepared to enter a new millennium, there were some who claimed to have somehow deciphered a biblical code, secret messages, and an understanding of the original language of Scripture that revealed that Christ would come back in the year 2000. Of course, there is no Scripture whatsoever to support this kind of idea. And, of course, Christ did not come back in 2000. The fact is that we don't know when He will return. He could come back today. Or He could come back in 10 years. We really don't know.

Jesus said, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only" (Matthew 24:36). If you were to translate that from the original language, it would say something like this: "No one knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come back." What that really is saying is, "No one knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come back." God said what He meant, and He meant what He said. He will return when He is ready. He will return at the appointed time.

The purpose of Jesus' first coming was to preach "the acceptable year of the Lord," in other words, that salvation is available to all. But the purpose of His second coming will be to execute the vengeance of God.

If you are an unbeliever, you ought to come to Him now, since now is "the acceptable year of the Lord." Come to know His grace and love and invite Him into your heart and life. Don't wait until He comes with judgment for a sinsick world.

I do after seeing the amount of times people have had to resurrect themselves on different accounts to get back onto this site. Most have been unduly targeted by disgruntled members and the trolls.
My question is how many times have YOU or someone YOU know had to reincarnate themselves? What were the reasons?
So do YOU now believe in Reincarnation as I do :)?

P.S. This is my second time around.

Are there any of you out there? If so, please tell me why you decided to join the LDS church. Also, could you give me some info about it. What are some facts about your religion? Is it true that you say black people are the 1/3 of spirits that fell from Heaven with Satan? Is it true you think you will become gods and have you own planets and make more spirit children if you are good enough and become a perfect LDS? Thanx for any info. =)

For the truth shall be spoken; since of old these evil demons, effecting apparitions of themselves, both defiled women and corrupted boys, and showed such fearful sights to men, that those who did not use their reason in judging of the actions that were done, were struck with terror; and being carried away by fear, and not knowing that these were demons, they called them gods, and gave to each the name which each of the demons chose for himself. And when Socrates endeavoured, by true reason and examination, to bring these things to light, and deliver men from the demons, then the demons themselves, by means of men who rejoiced in iniquity, compassed his death, as an atheist and a profane person, on the charge that "he was introducing new divinities;"

This is from St. Justin Martyr's First Apology in his defence that Christians were not atheist to the Roman Emperor Titus.

You have witnessed a horrible car accident, and are the only person at the scene. There are 2 people in the vehicle. The engine has caught fire and you only have time to save one. Both are pregnant females of roughly the same age. One is wearing a cross, the other is wearing a pentagram.

Who's life do you save?

I have heard various interpretaions of the Biblical significance, and read some new age stuff proclaiming that there was a much deeper meaning and significance to the order (and the man) than most people realize. Who was Melchizedek really (no father, no mother, no beginning of life, nor end of days), and what is the real origin of the order that bears his name?

If you were pregnant, and your ultrasound showed that your unborn baby had little horns growing from its head, would you make an exception to your no abortion rule 'this one time'?

If not, what would you do with your baby after its birth?

Would you be offended if your husband demanded a paternity test?

Just wanna say Merry Christmas to all of you. Especially
my Atheist friends. Trust me I understand that you are
constantly being smothered by the awesome power
of religious fanaticism. So as you like to say.... But
anyway. What do you have planned for the big day ?
Are you gonna play the role of Scrooge, or the Grinch
who stole Christmas ? I may buy yet another good ol
American, Georgia pecan pie, by the Edwards Company.
Talk about perfection. Some get toys, flowers, cards,
choclate, best wishes, and so much more. See this
online. Astro Thunder 7 Google it. One of my favourites
from 20 years ago, may purchase another one for ol times
sake. Anything special that many of you want ?
Post it here. Season's greetings, let us love one another.
That is what really matters, in the end. And no. Santa
Claus does not exist..... What do you want for Christmas ?
Best toy wins.
