Please correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that according to the LDS doctrine of Eternal Progression, beings are constantly elevating themselves. God was once a man, who worshipped his god and therefore became a god Himself. So... why wouldn't Mormons worship a higher god then the one that they do now?

I hope that made sense...

I've noticed how there are some paintings where they have both Mary and Jesus in heaven, but she is holding a Jesus as an infant.

Since they are up in heaven, he is obivously no longer an infant, I suppose.

Is there any significance to this?

This exists, this doesn't. Dot. Does anybody use expression "i guess, I belive, I think, ..., my view is, my opinion is ..." ? Any wonder that the others react angrily ?

Bible versions, dictionaries, concordances, commentaries, sermons. If I really want to study issues and the Word of God, what website(s) will be most useful to me?

I've heard we go straight to judgement. But I've also heard we go to heaven. I think I heard JW's believe that you sit in your grave until judgement day. I can't believe that and I need help from good Bible quoting Christians that can help me here. Do we go to heaven until the judgemnt when Christ sets up his 1000 year reign on earth? Or do we go straight to judgement as God has no concept of time? But if thats so, it implies that we sit in the grave until then. I don't like the idea of sitting in the grave. Is there Biblical proof that our spirit/soul seperates from the body at death? All good Christian answers are welcome. Pentecostal answers are more than welcome as well as i'm pentecostal. If you're JW can you please say so?

Now I'm not favoring ANY sides here .. keep in mind I'm not challenging any certain group, but atheists .. why are there so many of them here?

This category is called Religion (atheism is NOT a religion) & Spirituality (atheism denounces spirituality's existence). I don't mean to scrutinize trivial things, but why do so many atheists feel they need to hang around here & compete with Christians if they don't believe in the idea of this category anyway? It seems like a never-ending battle between two groups that will never be won....

What are your thoughts?

as long as the question is not offensive in its context, why do people feel a need to report questions that conflicts with there personal opinions, as long as the question does not call some one a name or tell someone they are less than inteligent it should not be concidered a violation.........like my question on why questions regarding religious views on homosexuality always seeme to be deleted. there was no abusing people who chose to be gay in the question but some stuck up snob who felt thier opinion was injepardy or couldnt handle an opinion that was different than thiers reported it even though it did not break Y/A rules..........this question wont be up long either......probably because some coward wants to report it cause it isnt covered in thier own opinion..........

You know one of those christian marriages where you vow to each other in the church before God. Why is it that if their bond and love is tied with God, why is it that the American divorce rates are so high? Did they break their vow to God and their love if they divorce?

My parents had a traditional Asian wedding since they are Asians and they are still happily together. They made vows with my dead ancestors and the elders of the family. My parents don't have sex no more and yet they are still together. They are happy. I'm 18 right now and their first child. No I am American born and Agnostic so don't assume I follow the same traditions.

Anyways. Cough* Why do the vows and God as witness fail for many?

Thanks for reading.

I know that the Bible says homosexuality is wrong, and that it is supposedly the word of God. However, if God does in fact exists and does in fact hate homosexuals, if he is omnipotent why does he not just get rid of it, I find this illogical, I wish to know why!

This is kind of a follow up to this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqR_OZWAZuIHFnce1UoqVM3d7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20071123120348AAbTP7F


I have wondered about this as well. The snake didn't really say anything decieving. But I have some other questions.

1. God commanded that Adam not eat from the tree of knowledge...he never made that same command to Eve. Technically, she could eat the fruit of that tree. So was she only wrong in giving the fruit to Adam?

2. They did not die because they ate from the Tree of knowledge, they died because they could not eat of the tree of life....correct?

3. "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil." Who exactly is "us"? It is frequently refered to as "us" or "our" in genesis. Does anyone believe there is more than one God? It would explain a lot of things.

That God created the Heavens and the Earth IN THE BEGINNING. Later on, he creates Light on the first day. So heaven and earth were around before the First Creative Day. I just had that pointed out to me. Anyone care to argue? (first read the first verse of Genesis, and then answer. Really, it is quite interesting).

Christians only please
Do you believe that some one babbling incoherently in chruch who claims they are filled with the spirit is speaking in tongues?

I am a Christian and I do not believe this. Also do not quote the scripture about they were speaking in tongues. They were speaking their own language but by God the people heard in their own native tongue.

If you disagree with me give me your reasons and sources please
