In the bible God says to the Israelites not to marry anyone out their race(something similar to that). So would that mean it would be wrong for a Nigerian man who is a christian to marry a woman who is a christian but is not a Nigerian?

As some of you may have noticed I was violated by the Y/A powers to be for asking the following"

"Can I pray for you about something?"

No reason other than that I violated "community guidelines" was given. I have asked that my question be reinstated for 2 main reasons 1) the question was was posted in the R & S catagory and is perfectly appropriate for the catagory, as most every belief system in the world engages in some sort of prayer.
2) I did not try to convince any one of my beliefs in the question, and I left it opened to all community members to respond.

I didn't even get a chance to copy any of the requests I was sent. So was anyone offended? A few were, some were not happy and critical of me, but it is their right to disagree with me, so why violate the question? any thoughts?

I asked how anyone could believe something ridiculous like that we came from monkeys and someone replied with an excellent. point.

If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? Why have they stopped evolving?

For that matter, why have WE stopped evolving?

2007-07-02 08:43:58 · 54 answers · asked by Saved by Grace 3

Please believers, I desperately need some reassurance that there are people that believe in a higher being, yet still know what evolution really means.

I'll open it up to anything science related. You can explain how the sun burns, why we are in orbit, why the sea is blue, why the sky is blue, why there are so many species of animals, plants, fungi in the world, why Pluto is so cold, what natural selection is, whatever you want as long as it pertains to science

Please give me SOMETHING.

Didn't the Jews do god a favor by killing Jesus (allegedly)
Jesus was sent to Earth as a sacrifice for people's sins. If the Jews hadn't tortured and killed him, would god have failed. Finally wouldn't Christians owe the jews a favor, not only for being the first monothiestic religion and setting the entire basis for christianity with the old testament, don't they owe the jews for killing Jesus and washing away all of their sins

You don't see a body or hear a vocal voice, just people's inner thoughts or viewpoints. But yet, in a way, you are actually looking at the very soul of that person? Do you know that this is the part that God sees and deals with?

I want you to answer about a religion/non-religion not your own. I'm not asking you to say that you respect a part of their religion/non-religion. I know that, at least with the atheists up here, they don't always respect the foundations of Christianity. Understandable. I'm asking all of you to tell me what characteristics could you admire/respect in a person in regards to their faith. Would you respect them if they had unwavering belief in their faith or god? Purely evident devotion? Open-mindedness? Zeal? What?

Remember, answer about something you're not a part of.

For me, I have to respect the atheist and Muslim. Atheists: Some of them do read the Bible and can easily combat someone in Christianity. I admire that. Sometimes they know more than Christians themselves. They also, even if I don't agree with them, a lot of times give intelligent answers. Muslims: I admire their zeal. Once again, don't exactly agree, but they have a devotion/zeal I highly respect.

If children are "sealed to their parents at birth, naturally, or in the case of adoption on newly converted families, through the temple ordinance then why does it sa in D&C 131:1-3 " 1 In the acelestial glory there are three bheavens or degrees;
2 And in order to obtain the ahighest, a man must enter into this border of the cpriesthood [meaning the new and deverlasting covenant of emarriage];
3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it. "

Does the effect of sealing only last until the child is of marriable age? Also, who is the person sealed to? Are they still sealed to their childhood family or is that bond broken when they are sealed to their family through marriage? If no sealing bonds are broken and everybody is one big happy family, how is that any different from people just being together in heaven as believers as the Bible teaches? ANd if that is the case, why bother with sealings?

For the record I do my best to respect Christianty. Most Christians I know are great people. But I think its a bit hyptocritical to insult other religons by claimed thier Gods are false when they have just as much proof as yours. If you can't respect our faith how you can expect other to respect yours?
Not ALL of you! If this doesn't pertain to you then I'm not talking to you now am I?

I have an old hymnal that has no musical accompaniment. The hymns are not named just put into categories like "worship and praise" or "the Bible" or "The church". Above each hymn there are a set of letters or numbers. Sometimes the letters: L.M., C.M., S.M., CPM or the numbers -11's and 10's- or- 11's- or- 8's 7's and 4's-, '7's and 6's-. Can anyone tell me what these letters and numbers mean? Are they used to determine the tempo of the song or the melody or both?
