Religion & Spirituality - 25 December 2007

what do you think is ment in this passage, especially if it is to be taken liturally?

"When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!'. Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!’" (Jn 19:26-27).

to the new testament ones, even though it's the same God.
i mean, God can't change his mind, surely?

Christians phychotrist: says maybe there is no God? you have prayed for so long and no answer.
Mom: the Lord is not there for you I know you have tried so hard to find him.
Brothers: as they mock me, you are wasting your life seeking after God. God just does not hand things to you because you pray. I thought you were going to have children? you are getting old. "I" snap back, I can not be like you, and breed. heaven is where my heart is, if she is not there I can not mate. I can not be like you.
Pastor #1: you need medication, even one as I take medication as the pastor says. You can not just use faith.
Pastor #2: I am the truth, not you praying to God and reciveing answers.(this is real) WE NEED A CROSS. We are all dammed. Next week he preach's how we should always go to God in prayer. (sounds stupid to me anyway)
Lots of Christians. Medication is the way the truth and the light. When it comes to the real thing, they run to what is safest.

Mary had other children, presumably after she had Jesus.

Was Joseph the father of all of these children.

Who were the children. We know of some of them. But were there also two sisters mentioned in the Bible?

And do we know the order of birth?

Do you ever get annoyed when you ask a question and don't make it blatantly obvious whether you believe in god or not, and then people from your own side of the debate call you out on it?

Like when atheists come and DRINK at my own questions...

Most self-proclaimed Christians are going to be rejected by God. Others are going to be really ashamed of their unscriptural practices.

As a bible-believing Christian I was shamed when a group of people all began jabbering at once during a prayer. They turned everyone at the funeral off. How could the unsaved there take anything said about the Word of God seriously after such a foolish display?

the churchs all tell people that they can save them with their message. They all think they have the right answer? If you pick wrong are you lost? How do you know if you are one of the few? Can any of them give you a guarantee?

If there are endless multiple universes as posited by string theory and quantum mechanics, is there a heaven for each universe or do they all go to one heaven? If only one heaven, could you see other versions of yourself there? Aren't you at least guaranteed that you'll make it to heaven this way? Do you even care

What would it hurt for athiests to beleive in God? all that you think happens when you die is you just cease to exsist right? well, if the christian stuff is real, then when you'd die, you would go to live in paradise. If it is real, and you die as a non-believer, you would go to hell and be in fear FOREVER. that's all i ask is, what does it hurt?

Bible; They (the seven brothers) neither marry nor are given in marriage in the resurrection.
Prophet; (D&C 132:15) --if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word---(16) --- when they are out of the world, they neither marry nor are given in marrage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more,and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory ( Having an eternal family). Read the whole section for clarification.
