Is salvation eternal? Does eternal mean forever? Why is it called "eternal life"? Some seem to teach that salvation is not eternal. If you are said to have been given eternal life, life that is forever and then at some point you do not have it any longer, how do they understand the meaning eternal, that it was forever? Seems like someone who offered something that was suppose to be forever but it was not would be a liar.

Please no pre decided answers, just if you visit the link post your answer and explain it. If you think it is not, then what sort of evidence is needed for your satisfaction?

Do you think those scientists are confused and not reliable or they are right but the whole thing is just happened by blind chance?
Do you need further search and study to decide?

I mean, I don't like boats & boating so I avoid questions in that section. I'm not going to be in that section and get mad talking about "stop telling me about boats", if that's what the section is for. You have people that stay in the religious section but get mad about people preaching to them. If you don't like it don't read it and stay out the section. Simple as that. It only makes sense.

What if your Chinese?

At the time George P. Lee was called to be a General Authority in the Mormon Church, Mark E. Petersen was serving as one of the Twelve Apostles. Apostle Petersen, who died in 1984, held some very strong views concerning Indians and other dark-skinned races. In a speech given at the church's Brigham Young University, Apostle Petersen gave the following information concerning the doctrine of pre-existence and how it affected the various races:

"We cannot escape the conclusion that because of performance in our pre-existence some of us are born as Chinese, some as Japanese, some as Indians, some as Negroes, some as Americans, some as Latter-day Saints. These are rewards and punishments... Is it not reasonable to believe that less worthy spirits would come through less favored lineage? Does this not account in very large part for the various grades of color and degrees of intelligence we find in the earth?...

like Muhammad(P) was standing 10 feet away, and you kinda can see his face. no one told it's him, but an aspiration (soul to soul language) telling you it's him. and i knew for sure it was him because later i search and read about his discription. also i asked another person who saw Muhammad(P) in her dream, and it was him .
is that a sign that whoever saw prophet Muhammad will be blessed?

I've been skimming through quite a few Q&A's and this appears to be a pretty common theme.

There are two Laws that govern Existence. Balance and Order. The simplest example I can think of is the eco-system, minus human intervention.

Humans are given something that nothing else in Creation has, Free Will. We are free to live within the Laws of Existence or we can ignore them and suffer the consequences.

So...when we willfully ignore these Laws, and get bitten on the butt for it, why is it God's fault?

I mean, clearly there has to be some consequence, but on the other hand, they're not as bad as muslims or something like that. What do you think?

The doctrine which the Mormon leaders teach concerning blacks was clearly set forth in a letter written by the First Presidency in 1947: "From the days of the Prophet Joseph even until now, it has been the doctrine of the Church, never questioned by any of the Church leaders, that the Negroes are not entitled to the full blessings of the Gospel." (Letter from the First Presidency of the Mormon Church, July 17, 1947, as cited in Mormonism and the *****, by John J. Stewart, 1960, pages 46-47)

Bruce R. McConkie, who later served as an Apostle in the church, made this statement in 1958:

"Negroes in this life are denied the priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty.... The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them...

Swine or hog meat was concidered unclean or unhealthy to eat for centuries, did Christ dying on the cross make this meat any safer.

Here on yahoo answers in the past I have read people who say that they have a "battle-cry" for Jesus and that they wanted to have a spiritual warfare in America, and this involved an agenda of preventing gay marriage, a pro-life agenda, bringing God back into the schools, etc. The conservative agenda.

So in the interest of building a database here on yahoo answers of questions and answers, I an agnostic not trying to convert anyone to my religion, ask this question of those reading it:

Does the religious right hear the "battle-cry" of those who wish to use the words of Jesus from the Bible for liberal positions, like helping the poor, or feeding the hungry, or a pro-choice agenda, and there are christian churches in America that marry people of the same gender, and they want prayer in school to be a private matter.

Does the religious right hear the battle cry of the religious left in America?

Jesus doesnt give up on anybody -thanks God and he cares about us unconditionally-i prayed and let him into my heart.
and being Jewishseeing the bible prophecies -really helped me too. Isaiah chapters 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 "He shall be exaulted, and made very high, but first he will be marred more than any man. Ane he will lay down his life as an atonement for sins."
its great to be Jewish and have the Messiah-most muslims reject Isaiah too and letting Jesus into theier heart as he commands for salvation-
"Behold i stand at the door and knock, if you let me in to forgive sins, i will come in and become your friend, amen Revelation 3 vs 19&20
so i prayed and got saved "Jesus im sorry for my sins, come in my heart and help me, be my friend, amen" now its a good thing and the bible makes great sense now too

I mean in all eternity of course.
I never knew the exact number, but the LDS seems to have calculated it for us.

An ever expanding Hell...http://utlm.org/newsletters/no70.htm#AN%20EVER-EXPANDING%20HELL

If 80 billion people will eventually live on earth, then it follows that the "sons of perdition" number 40 billion. The number could be even higher, however, because the figure of "80 billion" on earth does not include the millennium.
While Mormon apologists criticize others for believing in the idea of eternal punishment of the wicked, their church's own doctrine has already consigned 40,000,000,000 or more of God's own spirit children to eternal damnation.

I wonder where the Jehovahs Witnesses chosen 144,000 go in the Mormon sense of relaity?

In my dream, we were selling our house and property and horses and it was being sold to a family from Texas. In the dream, as they were choosing the correct price for the first barn, my friends, the buyer's son, and I were standing there, just as no one was looking, we kissed quickly. My friend heard it and after we walked away she asked me if I kissed him, then we were all riding ATV's on tyhe farm and soon walking through the mall, he kissed my again and said that there was no fireworks, but we still stayed bf/gf. What does that mean?
