included in the bible, hasn't it already been picked and chosen for all believers?

Perhaps it should worry people that maybe some important and necessary parts were left out?

December 25, 1832
D&C 87: 1
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls;
3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations.

D&C 130: 12 (1843)
12 I prophesy, in the name of the Lord God, that the commencement of the difficulties which will cause much bloodshed previous to the coming of the Son of Man will be in South Carolina.
13 It may probably arise through the slave question. This a voice declared to me, while I was praying earnestly on the subject, December 25th, 1832

I wonder if this would have affected people then.

Or how about the fact that there has never been enough water on earth to flood the whole planet? Do these little facts bother you at all?

If I were converted to Christianity with lies, would God accept me if I converted other people to Christianity with the same lies?

Would I be condemned for unaware trickery?

Would the people I converted be condemned?

Religious folks tell us that an intelligent entity is the creator of the universe, but can never explain how or why this intelligence exists. The best they can do is to say it always existed (a statement which has no explanatory value).

Science, on the other hand, shows that intelligence and other features of life arose by a natural unthinking process of gradually increasing complexity over vast amounts of time. Indeed, this is the only way that intelligence could conceivably exist.

Is this why some theists fear and reject evolution despite the evidence - because it explains what their religions have never been able to explain?

My live-in boyfriend of almost 5 years decided to go out and blow 75% of his paycheck a few weeks ago on a new flatscreen TV. He had the audacity to say it was "for us". He assured me he would still have money to get me a gift this year. I spent a lot of time shopping for him and carefully picked out gifts that he would like including a new ring. I was so surprised to see two boxes under the tree for me this year. After he had opened his gifts I opened mine and to my horror I found a necklace/earring set made from metal that is painted to look like copper with fake stones (the kind of jewelry that turns your skin green when you wear it). I am sorry but I am a 30 y/o professional woman and I don't even think a teenager would wear this. I looked it up online..I found it, it was on sale for $8.50! Am I wrong for being angry about this or am I whining for no reason? I didn't expect him to spend a fortune, but I thought I was worth more than that! Should I say something to him?

And is this something Christians still do/have done?

Paul says:
Roman 3: 7 "But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?"

http://bible.cc/romans/3-7.htm

Paul's more infamous deception is the one he candidly admits to: that he "becomes like a Jew in order to win Jews" to the gospel (I Cor 19:20) and "becomes like the lawless in order to win the lawless" (I Cor 19:21).

John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." - NIV
As I know the trinity consisted by three persons Father, Son, Holy Spirit. So let's place these three persons near the word "God".

"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God [Father, Son, Holy Spirit], and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
John says us to to know the true God and in this true God Jesus Christ is included. But John says us to to know also Jesus (the only of three for second time). If trinity is correct why was John repeated?
If there is no trinity and the Father is the only true God, then it's logic but from a trinity view I can't see logic.
