This is something missionaries don't like to tell you.

"Long before you were born a program was developed by your creators ... The principal personalities in this great drama were a Father Elohim, perfect in wisdom, judgment, and person, and two sons, Lucifer and Jehovah." (Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 32-33).

"The appointment of Jesus to be Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God. He was called Lucifer…this spirit-brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of mankind" (The Gospel Through the Ages, p.15, 1945).

I am from Utah, grew up LDS. But I have seen so much hypocricy and it has personally, painfully effected me and my family. I know that we constantly say that "the people aren't perfect, the church is..." but why is our culture and society so selfish and unwise? Utah has the highest rate for divorce, and we teach that the family is most important! Is anyone really listening to what we believe? I was just chewed out by a girl from high school saying that I was the most disgusting, evil, wicked person she knows, and that I'm going to hell, and then she brags that she just got married in the temple. I don't deserve such criticism, or such abuse from leaders that we have been taught all our lives to respect, and that they would protect us. I am hurt and lost, and "losing my way." I am struggling for last threads and reason to keep the desire for a marriage in the temple. All the mormon boys I've dated have treated me poorly. Why? We are taught to be so much more than this.

Why do you think christians hate you?
Cause we don't we just don't believe what u believe. Some ppl like that r fun to hang w/ but we will never change to your ways.

Why do u think christianty is all about rules and restrictions?
Cause it's not about rules, it's all about your relationship and walk with God. The scriptures are to help you make right choices,keep you safe and make your walk w/ God stronger.

Why do you think christians are always trying to convert you?
We don't try to force you into something you don't want to follow but the bible tells us to spread the good news that Jesus died for our sins and rose again. We only try to help you because we love every1 and want you to be in heaven w/ us.

I dont and never will....it is a disgrace! For a layman to be handing out our Lord in the Blessed Sacramnet. I hope and pray that the Pope will re-think this horrible act that is comitted in many churches

**My beliefs: (Please try not to disprove me just put your answer.) God spoke and bang!! It was there within 7 days.
So: What is your take on the "big bang"??
How did it happen??
What made it happen??
If something caused it where did that something come from??

If you say you dont believe in the existence of a GOD... are you actually acknowledging it by your statement.

Mormon Apostle and apologist Bruce McConkie warns: "I shall speak of our relationship with the Lord and of the true fellowship all saints should have with the Father. I shall set forth what we must believe relative to the Father and the Son in order to gain eternal life...many false and vain and foolish things are being taught in the sectarian world and even among us about our need to gain a special relationship with the Lord Jesus...gaining a special relationship with Christ is both improper and perilous...now I know that some may be offended at the counsel that they should NOT strive for a special and personal relationship with Christ...you have been warned, and you have heard the true doctrine taught" (from a speech given at a B.Y.U. devotional on March 2, 1982).

The Bible teaches that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, but Mormons teach otherwise. Why?

"Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers" (Mormon Doctrine, p. 547, 1979).

Brigham Young taught: "The birth of the Savior was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood---was begotten of his Father as we were of our fathers" (Journal of Discourses vol.8, p.115); and "when the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness [flesh and blood]. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost" (Journal of Discourses, vol.1, p.50).

Joseph Fielding Smith wrote: "The birth of the Savior was a natural occurrence unattended by any degree of mysticism, and the Father God was the literal parent of Jesus in the flesh as well as in the spirit" (Religious Truths Defined, p.44).

I am a Catholic and i hope most of you will say touge, as recieveing in the hand was developed by protestants to DENY Christ's real presence! If you recieve in the hand please consider to change to the touge. Have reverance for our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. As Mother Teresa said: wherever i go in the world the saddest thing i see is people recieve our Lord in the hand

This is for those who only want to see the bad in every person, place, thing, belief, etc etc. Why do you enjoy the feeling of hatred? Why do you want to continue to ignore anything good about a group or people or a place you've heard about, especially when you've never been there and didn't bother getting to know the people you hate? This is something most of us are curious about. Most people are naturally inclined to feel empathy and look for the good in all things. So what went wrong with your life that you project it onto an entire group of people? Everywhere there are good and bad people. You can't say any one group is the only reason or majority, because that does not explain the rest of the world or the history before any people. Is anyone else curious about this?

If you've said something like this i'm pretty sure you don't know the definition of the word theory.

I went to church today...I am someone who believes God has wronged him....is anyone ever justified in this? Was Job....why did he kill his family...and ruin him?
Today, the Pastor said that if people didn't make a certain public gesture to show that God had been good t them...that the ground was liable to open up and swallow them...what do you think of this....sometimes...I think things would be better for me if it did.
