A selection of Priests have rightly received the media treatment they deserved.It seems, though, that they have tainted some Genuine Priestly Believers; Wether or not you believe in what these priests believe in, I have met Priests, "Brothers" and "Religious" who lived a life that was genuine. I was taught at HSC ( Higher School Certificate) by a Marist Brother who was humble, was known for his ethics, and when it came to his faith, stood his ground, explained what he believed, and said this is what I believe. He invited others to join in his faith, and to those who were interested, he explained.
A far cry for me, from the Anglican Minister at a School who used his power to abuse young children at a School I attended. I told the powers what he had done, but no-one believed. I had also been assaulted by a teacher there, no-one believed. About ten years after I left the school he was convicted of assaulting a Neibhour with a hammer.

George Bush believes that he is a good Christian and that he will go to Heaven. His disastrous handling of the War on Terror and the Invasion of Iraq, however, should send him straight to Hell. Question: Is it your actions or is it your beliefs that determines if you end up in Heaven or in Hell?

If there is a pergatory, what do you do there?

Do you believe in a pergatory?

And what - if any - is the scriptural basis for this?

Thanks.

I understand what the believer's claims are and they are just simply insane.
If you made similar claims about other invisible friends you would be classed as mental and possibly locked up to protects society from danger.

I want to join a church but I don't think that Jesus is God, only the Father is God. I don't believe the Bible is written by God but by men. I don't believe Jesus was resurrected. I don't beleve in hell or armagedon either. I miss my old social life . I miss talking about how to have a good life and make the world a better place and be a better person. I don't feel like I fit in because I don't believe all the other stuff and I want to belong to a group that I believe in. I want to identify with a feminine entity without feeling like a witch. I don't want to be a JW or Mormon. My husband wants a spirit filled church and doesn't go along with the Unity Christians or Unitarians. I get angry when preachers talk about people like me. I refuse to just blindly believe what I'm told to believe because someone told me to believe it. I'm not really questioning my beliefs or anybody elses. I just want to find a home where I can be myself and be alright with that and belong to a congregation.

"We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn't been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake." - Catherine Fahringer

Imagine the amazing technologies we'd have today if it weren't for religion, we'd probably have cures for most diseases known to man...

I was watching the Bill Oreilly show and he was talking about this video of a little girl who was basically spewing liberal stuff like religion is the cause of all war and that republicans cause poverty and so on and so forth. He claimed that this was child abuse. I agreed because I think brainwashing is child abuse no matter what your brainwashing the child into believing. But notice that Bill Oreilly has never said anything about the Evangelical Movement. These parents basically send there kids to these bible camps to be brainwashed into believing in god and agreeing with conservative views. How is this not child abuse???? Why is it ok to brainwash children into believing conservative views but not liberal views???

There were two old women living next door to each other.
One believed in God & the other didn't

Every morning the believer opened her front door smiling, looked up to the sky & shouted "Praise God, I thank you for this wonderful day!"
Immediately, the unbeliever came out scowling and shouted "There's no such thing as God!"
Then they both went in & shut their front doors
This went on day after day.

Then one day the believing woman found herself in need. She had no money and no food but she still continued to look up and thank God.........

A. Scott Berg had Katharine Hepburns approval to write this book...he spent much time with her...and much of the book is her own words. Mr. Berg also interviewed employees, friends, co-workers and much of the book contains stories of their interaction with her. Mr. Berg likewise wrote about his conversations with Ms. Hepburn and brought his interpretation of the stories into the writings after studying her papers, contracts, etc...

So, this book is "inspired" by Katharine Hepburn, but written by A. Scott Berg. Is everything in this book exactly as it happened? Probably not...many musings were stories told by others of their interpretation of events...many musings are Mr. Bergs thoughts about the lady.

II Timothy 3:16 says all scripture is given by inspiration of God...likewise the Bible was inspired by God...but, written by human beings. Why can you not realize that these authors brought into their writings their own ideas, prejudices and customs of the day into their book.

First Commandment (No other Gods) vs First Amendment (Freedom of Religion)

Garden of Eden vs Science and Reality

Noah's Flood vs Dinosaur Extinction 65 million years ago

Tower of Babel vs International Space Station

The Raising of Lazarus vs CPR and Defibrillators

Faith Healed Lepers vs Antibiotics virtually eliminating Leprosy

I could go on, but I think everyone gets the point.

Which world do you choose to live in, a Middle Eastern Fantasy World or here in Modern Reality. And try to remember that you are using a COMPUTER to answer the question, not sending an angel with a telepathic message.

And yes, they actually are mutually exclusive.

to ordain blacks to the priesthood? And I have never heard of this.

Besides, it would be totally unconstitutional for any branch of the government to tell the LDS church to give the priesthood to anyone. The government can't establish and church, nor can it tell any church how to believe.

The priesthood is not a job, as one postor here said something which would lead. It was not breaking any equal opportunity laws.

A loud round of applause to all of your who have defended the faith! While it is unimportant if the person asking the question believes what you say, what is important is that you do. Hold strong and keep the faith. I am proud of all of you!
