Religion & Spirituality - 16 May 2007

My best friend is Mormon and she was married and had two kids to a mormon guy. She was born into the religiona nd the guy she married converted for her. Now, they divorced about two weeks ago and she says that he can be sealed to another woman but she cannot be sealed to another nor can her children. Is this true? Why would a religion say who and who cannot be sealed with? That doesn't sound very loving.

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

Then why so long?

A deity that is omnipotent could create a universe in less then seven seconds. Seven days seems too long.

Also how could there be days before a sun?

his disciples came to him privately and asked "when will all this take place? and will there be any signs ahead of time to signal your return and the end of the world?"

jesus told them, "DONT LET ANYONE MISLEAD YOU. FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME SAYING ' I AM THE MESSIAH' THEY WILL LEAD MANY ASTRAY. AND WARS WILL BREAK OUT NEAR AND FAR BUT DONT PANIC YES THESE THINGS MUST COME BUT THE END WON'T FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY THE NATIONS AND KINGDOMS
WILL PROCLAIM WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THERE WILL BE FAMINES AND EARTHQUAKES IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD BUT ALL THIS WILL BE ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE HORRORS TO COME."THEN YOU WILL BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED AND KILLED YOU WILL BE HATED ALL OVER THE WORLD BECAUSE OF YOUR ALLEGIANCEC TO ME AND MANY WILL TURN AWAY FROM ME AND BETRAY AND HATE EACH OTHER AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR AND WILL LEAD MANY ASTRAY SIN WILL BE RAMPANT EVERYWHERE AND THE LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD BUT THOSE WHO ENDURE TO THE END WILL BE SAVED."

natrually when you refer to God you say He and His...masculine. But I think instead of 'God creating us in His image', we created Him in our image....and when I say we, I mean men because Christianity was shaped by men. What do you think?

Do they eat that stuff a lot,or is that a myth? Or is it something that got started because of apparent similarities,lack of substance,no intrinsic value,etc.? Or is it a false doctine to equate junk food and atheism? If so,can you proof there is no link with SCIENTIC PROOF or SOME VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT SEEMINGLY DENIES IT? I'll take either one.

Many people have always said that evil must be destroyed for good to be dominate, from religion to simple minded people who cannot understand that there is no destroying evil. The reason why this is a fact is because as long as there is good there will be evil and as long as there is evil there will be good. The area of destroying evil completely is useless and will always have no real purpose other than tiring the good out. However standing in the gap of evil and defending good from the evil is what is truly known as balance. Balance has since the beginning has been a the backbone of the universe, a being or creature that has to survive by relying on another object, creature or being is a balance. If that is corrupted, almost everything will be destroyed. so my questions is this, why do people think evil must be destroyed, when in fact good can become so twisted and perverted as evil, if not even more?

Since lies and exaggeration are a common way to help spread the Christians message in the modern world doesn’t it seem highly probable that the New Testament authors engaged in a wee bit of hyperbole?

Example of famous Christian liars would be Mike Warnke, Bob Larson, stories of satanic ritual abuse, Jim Baker, Darlene Bishop, etc.

And don’t say they died (were martyred) for their beliefs. I can open the paper and read about nut jobs blowing themselves up for their religious beliefs every single day. That does not increase their credibility one iota.

In the bible it said that the earth was made in 7 days, well, 6 and then a day of rest. So.... i have heard people say that a day to god could have been thousands of years long.... here is my problem with that.

God is God. He is the creator, alpha, omega .. etc. Don't you think that he set the standard of time by saying DAYS and not thousands of years? So i think the universe was made in, you guessed it ... SEVEN DAYS and not that a day to god could have been millions of years... is this wrong?

No, it says jesus is the only way, That doesn't mean when we die we don't meet with him and can choose to accept him. Accepting jesus means a life of dedication, so nobody knows if christianity is true or not, what logical reason have they to suddenly devote their lives to it? What about those children who die at 10? Are they going to hell? Or the people who have never heard of him? Its like "rejecting" the ketchup at a restaurant... Jesus knows millions don't know he is real and doesn't take it personally. You show me some quotes that say We must all worship jesus all our lives to go to heaven. No, he is the only way, like those who have never heard his word, people will be given a fair chance when they die, where they know that it's a real decision, and that hell is the concequence.

God said we should judge sin..
Sin is the dis-obeying of the 10 Commandments which we all are guilty of some sin in our life, but does that keep you from judging sin?

God punished Israel many times for her dis-obedience. Jesus forgives all who has a repentful heart and believes, but if they do not have a repentful heart, do you find yourselves just giving up on that person and letting GOD handle it?, or do you continue to try?
Do you think it is the responsibility of a Christian to lead the sheep to the flock? or do you say sometimes I don't care if the entire sheep fall off the mountain?

This is what I think the devil tries to do to Christians, so souls will be lost..
Your thoughts?

honest question. when you go knocking on someone's door, and you say your piece, if they say they're not interested, what do you say next? do you say "thank you" and leave? or do you keep trying to convince them? what if they say "i don't believe in god"

....did God create man directly (from dirt/ribs) or from ape-like ancestors?

And if you answer ape-like ancestors, is Adam and Eve then a metaphor?

if all things bad are to do with evil and sin. then how come our bodies can feel pain to such an intense level, or did god rewire us after the fall. and why wouldnt we of got sick before the fall, there would of been bacteria about then. or did god introduce it after we were naughty as punishment. weavels get in our flour, isnt that what they are designed to do, same with lice in our hair-designed. dont you think god new we were going to sin, after all one third of the angels had rebelled before us. i am a christian and iam interested in others thought on these things their are many other examples in creation i can use too. i personally dont think that god planned on us staying in edon do you.
