To members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - have you asked yourself as I have - why was I born into the church when my friend down the street was not?
We should not be ashamed to boldly declare that this church is the actual true church that Christ Himself restored to the earth- the world needs to know it. For nearly 2000 years, true priesthood authority was not on the earth, until it was restored in 1830 (http://www.lds.org/portal/site/LDSOrg/menuitem.b3bc55cbf541229058520974e44916a0/?vgnextoid=32c41b08f338c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=f71a7befabc20110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1&contentLocale=0).
It's Christ's church, not ours. Anyone who becomes worthy can be baptized and join. But why was I born into an LDS family when my neighbor was not? I kind of doubt it was because I was more vailant in the pre existence - there are far better people in this world than me who are not members of the church.

Too bad, G. Mendel wasn't born yet then.

Assuming I am white, I'd throw my wife out of the window if she had a black baby!

Paul introduced the idea of "not under the 'Law' but 'Grace.'

He knew the pagans would not accept his religion if he made it too difficult for them.

if god is real, then why did nothing happen when i asked him to reveal himself. and why do you lie saying that he has healed you when he doesn't exist. either he doesn't exist or he wants me to burn in hell. take your pick, both disprove your faith because if god does exist, he is not all loving

why do people practise most of the 10 commandments (even as morals though not as biblical laws) but not the 4th which refers to the Sabbath? Some people claim that the commandments were done away with @ jesus' death, yet theft, murder, adultery etc. is looked down upon in society. If they were done away with, then why are they still wrong? and if breaking the rest of the nine commandments is "wrong" then what about the fourth????

I mean absolutely no disrespect, but I am interested in your beliefs. I am a lapsed Catholic and struggling with the idea of life after death. Part of me is just terrified that this life is all we get. When I close my eyes for the last time that's it, there's nothing else? Somehow I can't wrap my mind around the concept that someone who is alive and sentient could just be gone into nothingness in a split second. How do you resolve the thought of death and nothingness and not live life absolutely terrified of death? I'm starting to get scared to drive for fear of an accident etc....

Hey, I don't understand ANYTHING about how a car engine runs, so does that make them not exist??? Why do people think that just because they don't understand or agree with God that He doesn't exist???

A student who spends years with a teacher can NEVER be like someone who only met the teacher once.

True students would know the spirit of the message and not add personal ideas into the teachings.

Paul added much and Constantine added even more polytheistic ideas into what we now call Christianity.

When over 5000 supporting Greek manuscripts of the New Testament have been discovered and, when examined, show us that they are all copied with extreme accuracy. The New Testament alone is over 99% textually pure. In addition, another 20,000 manuscripts in other languages also have been discovered. All these manuscripts range from the second century to after the turn of the first millennium. They all demonstrate an amazing accuracy and consistency within the copies?

When the gospels, for example, were written by those who either knew Jesus personally, or were under the direction of those who did. The gospels are full of factual accounts of cities, customs, terms, locations, etc., that can all be verified historically and archaeologically?

If you ARE, what does that mean exactly? There are so many different answers from people that are NOT agnostic, so if you ARE, please fill me in.

If I look in other YA sections I don't find nearly the volume of antagonism toward anything as much as I find antagonism here. Why expend so much effort and time trying to disprove something you don't believe in? It kind of makes you wonder who or what is influencing these people, doesn't it? Maybe there's no stronger evidence that Satan exists than what we read right here in Religion and Spirituality.

I've been thinking. I am angry with the christian religion. Why? Well because I believed in this crap so long only to find out it really is bull. And I am angry I ever believed it in the first place. I feel like I lost money that I never really had.

I felt the same way when I was told that Santa was not real. I was angry because I would not get anymore presents from him. Even though he was never real to begin with.

So should I have never been told there was a Santa?
Would that have been better?
