In Ephesians 6:12, Brother Paul writes; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

What are the "Powers" Paul is referring to?

Is it true that you believe there was a galactic war 75 million years ago? Is it true that you practice on making an ashtray stand up and sit down "followed by a polite thank you"?

Why would you base your whole life on this? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I've also heard this: "even though they do believe that, they aren't taught it until the highest learning tier (I understand there are eight) and then they are charged against sharing it with people who aren't ready for it, so I'm afraid that (if that's true) the only answers you can hope for will be from ex-Scientologists and non-Scientologists."

I personally would never join a religion whose entire belief system was held secret until you've already dedicated yourself to it.

Hi there. I have a question regarding those families who are blessed be have been blended together. My husband was previously married, as was I...and both marriages produced beautiful children. We married, and had another baby, making our total of children: 6. I have recently converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, and he has always been a member.
My question is...have any of you been through the situation of canceling a seal between a former spouse, and what is your opinion on this matter. I understand that temple ordinances are sacred, so if you feel that it's more appropriate to email me, please do. I haven't taken my endowments yet, (in august I will, and we will be sealed soon after, but he his in the process of cancelling his seal to his ex wife right now. My question is mostly about our children. My ex husband is a member of the Church of Satan, and I doubt he will allow the children to be sealed to us. Does anyone have any thoughts? positive?

Jesus seems to have died for our sins, but only for the sins that Jesus saw as sins. He and his Daddy gave us a pretty thick book, in which all the sins are described that He died for.

Somehow I find that pretty arogant, if I were to die for somebody else's sins, I'd find it more important that I'd die for what that other person sees as sins. Not what I would find sinful, that would just be plain selfish. But that's besides the point.

I'm sometimes truly sorry about my blunt honesty. Sometimes I insult people, simply because I forget to use a white lie. A white lie would be forgiven by Jesus, who died for that (Thanks man!), but who forgives me for honesty? To whom do I repent?

are 7 Old Testament Books? We are in complete agreement on the New Testament. The 7 books were rejected because of lack of Hebrew manuscrips by Jewish scribes. They were only in the Greek. However, I understand all the quotations in St.Matthews' gospel of Old Testament prophecies come from the Greek.
Where does anyone get the idea that the Catholic Church added books after the Protestant Reformation?

I was raised on the KJV and became a Catholic reading the KJV.

So many times I will read here that some particular atrocity from the Bible is brought up for Christians to defend, which they can't because the atrocity is really awful, and you go and say oh, that doesn't count because it is from the OT. ISN'T THE OT STILL YOUR BIBLE?

The devil gives us the desire for the opposite sex...and the same sex for some and put it upon the flesh. So man can be attracted to more than one person sexualy in there lifetime. People must be married or they will be thrown into hell cuss they desire one anouther like the beast. Ever heard of animal instincts for one another. Marraige is not in heaven cuss the beast was thrown out of heaven. Now that I have spoken about the beast....there has to be anouther way, a way apostle Paul never thought about neither do the rest of u,,,a Godly way to have sex or to desire one another.....but u only desire her...witch means gents u can be around lots of beautiful naked woman and u would only have eye's for her, you would not even be tempted, cus u r no longer a slave of the flesh. What do u think...do u think I am from Jesus or a deciver?

1John2:15-16. 1 Cor 7 all of it. Rev 14:4. talks about not being defiled by a woman.
