John 3:4-6

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Verse 5 says that you can't enter the kingdom of God unless you have been physically born. "Born of water" refers to physical birth as clarified (as if it wasn't already clear enough) by verse 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh."

So, since the unborn cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, either God has it in for the unborn, or they are not yet souls. The idea that the unborn are not yet souls is supported by other bible verses as well and there are none that contradict this point of view. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that abortion isn't a sin according to the bible - just not murder.

I know it exists, because it's mentioned in Matthew 4:8.

God forbid she do the responsible thing and use birth control (assuming the rumor is true, I mean. If not, I'm *sure* her virginity is still intact, hehe.)

It has been proven that when Joseph Smith translated the "Book of Abraham" it was not the writings of Abraham as he claimed, but a copy of Egyptian Papyri. The Egyptian text was part of the Egyptian burial rites and is nothing close to Joseph Smiths translation.

(History of the Church, vol. 2, pg. 236, "... with W.W. Phelps and Oliver Cowdery as scribes, I commenced the translation of some of the characters or hieroglyphics, and much to our joy found that one of the rolls contained the writings of Abraham, another the writings of Joseph of Egypt ...")

Mormons, what does this mean to you?

Here is an interesting article about the translation process:

Many, like Adam and Eve, are hiding from a loving God because of the guilt of their sin. Jesus took care of that problem and now only wants to have a relationship with us again. Why don't you let him if you already haven't?

For me - I hate it when people pull right up to the front of the grocery store entrance and park their car, get out, and go inside to shop. Like they think they have a personal parking space while the rest of us have to park far away out on the lot. That really bugs me.

Jesus sets an example for his followers.
He teaches turn the other cheek.
People who do not beleive in god often make fun of us who do.
Is it right to get angry with them ?

Yesterday this dude asked a question pertaining to the Bible and he claims that atheist read the Bible more than christians and that atheist understand the Bible more. I am no super theologan but I do spend a considerable amount of time studying the Bible. I am learning Greek and Hebrew in order to be able to read the original languages. I challanged this guy to email me with all his questions and comments about the Bible and we can discuss or debate as much as he wishes. So far I have no responses. Do you think this guy really wants to hear from a Christian that actually studyies and understands the Bible or do you think he feels like a big man for posting false statements and trying to categorize all Christians as ignorant about the Bible?

Could it be he thought nobody like me would actually challenge his false claim that Christians do not study the Bible?

...to people who have read your holy texts and know that the culture that is ingrained within the religion, is just as much a part of the actual religion as the beliefs and rituals you do to "worship" god. I am mainly talking about Islam, and people who keep saying, "educate yourselves about Islam!" and "Stop talking bad about Islam because it's a religion of piece!" (mispelling intended)

Okay, maybe we didn't read the same koran, but the one I read was all about killing infidels, beating women, acquiring sex slaves and war booty, and spreading the word of Islam.

Then, I see plenty of Muslims trying to use a Vulcan mind bend on ignorant Kufar to bully them into seeing Islam "their" way, if not to convert them, then at least to appeal to their Liberal side and assimilate another apologetic for the Ummah's cause. Brilliant!

But, just for crap's sake, do you all ever get tired of the lies and the taqqiyah it takes to spin Islam into a benign faith, that is all about peace?

Wouldn't it be nice to have just one day where religion was not such a big deal? Where we didn't have a headline about some new law the fundies are trying to pass or book they want to ban or school board that has been overrun or even just the normal stuff you constantly hear about religion? Where people just backed off for a while?

I know, I cause my own exposure by coming to this site, but I'd like just one single day where I didn't have to hear about religion. What do you think?
