When some do not Know Christ means anointed, and Heaven means Celestial, I wander about the Bible Teachers they have ,are they really qualified to teach Gods Word? how many illiterate teachers, teach the Bible.
Don't get up set I was taught the same way, wasted a lot of time believing what I was told. Thank God for showing me a better way.

Most people who teach the bible go to school to learn it first... the problem comes when people think they know everything and want to interpret the word to make thier own ways of like acceptable but the Bible is clear cut... straight to the point.. there is no reason for misinterpretation... I would like to know the better way God showed you.

A lot of intelligent people haven't read or studied the Bible, they've just assumed that what they've been taught is true. That's the same reason why many people still believe that Christopher Columbus was absolutely the first person to "discover" the New World, when the Chinese, Vikings, or even Welsh may have a better claim, and the Native Americans didn't even know it was lost. They don't know they should never take things at face value.

what you say is contradictory. since this relates to the bible then it make sperfect sense. what you were told about god was a waste of time but yet you thank god for showing you a better way? that means that you took what you were TAUGHT and came upon to your own meaning of what/who god is. then whatever you came up with means that your thought differ than those who originally taught you what god was. you don't belong with that sect of christianity and no one needs to be qualified to teach the bible. once you read the bible you're automatically qualified to teach it. doesn't mean you understand it but it means you can run around and tell people what you think it is. they teach you a certain way in order to keep you in their repsective denomination. if you didn't like it then you need to go to another denomination and see if they're more to your liking.

1 Cor 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
THis is the only time that celestial is mentioned in the KJV of the Bible. It refers to the type of body a person gets after He goes to HEAVEN. I have scanned other versions and Celestial is not there.
Pray tell, what is the better way that you are talking about?

Oftentimes people give wonderful answers, but their answers are ignored. Many of the questions in this area are just sarcastic rants anyway. The people asking these ridiculous questions don't want an answer, they just want to cheeze a bunch of people off. This is why so many questions are repeated constantly even though (I'm sure) they have been answered well at least once or twice.
Also, I'm afraid, there IS such a thing as a person that wouldn't know a good answer if it jumped up and bit em'.

Guessing there are lots of smart people on here - people are smart in different subjects though. Some think they know the entire Bible, and that makes them allowed to preach to everybody in the world. Others are smart in sciences, philosophy, criminal justice, politics and lots of other things. That doesn't mean that some of them don't believe in God and a religion though.

Unfortunately if you were to put 10 biblical scholars in a room together you will get 10 different interpretations. That is the problem with organized religion. It is the business of selling you on their best guess. Keep your faith since it seems to be important to you but at the same time keep your mind open to possibilities and not what just sounds good to you.

If you are of the Lost and Decieved of Satan (LDS) you dont have "a better way"... lds only ones I know who refer to Heaven as celestial in their recruting... But If you, by chance, are not lost to the lds deception... No one has full knowledge of God's Word... There is no inerrent text in existance today... all of the directly God inspired texts were lost over 1700 years ago if not earlier... And most of the , english at least, "translations" are not worth reading.

Can someone give smart answers about something so stupid? Probably, but why bother? Those that do try to talk serious about this Magic Book called bible just sound silly.

Don't confuze education with cleverness and a general insight of the world. You don't learn the Bible by heart, and you don't take it ad literam. You extract it's teachings after you decode the metaphores.
