personally I dont think god gives a sh!t about us, god created and moved on...to me, there is something extremely comforting in that.

since christians refer to Jesus as being God and Jews maybe disagreeing with that means that the God in the New Testament is not the same one that is in The Old Testament ..didn't god tell Moses his name was "I AM" ..I may be wrong but I don't remember anything about god telling Moses to call him god or spell god with a capital "G"

Morningsong covered her head with her quote.

Christ is her head and her words are sharing that which a man of God spoke.

I find no fault. Nor do I find fault with her speaking her heart and mind.

Acquila and Priscilla did as well and they are honored by Paul in his writings, as well as Luke's in the Book of Acts. And they were present back in the day with the apostles.

Those that would silence her would do better to remind others of what the Bible says more pointedly, which is, come unto Jesus for the rest of your souls.

If anything is to be quoted, let it be at least that.

The Bible also says one must be saved. Why is it that dissenters choose their quotes to be argumentative and not take to heart the greater message upon their own person as it says?

Because, the dissenters would silence anything that suggest personal responsibility for the care and feeding of their own guilty conscience before God.

Torment enough within, that torment from without is offensive.

The offence is a guilty conscience, not the truth.

The truth that sets one free also demands that one choose to accept that freedom.

Appeasement is not peace, nor is silencing any.


show the respect for diversity that you who dissent demand!!!!

hypocrites.

All communication is up for interpretation. That doesn't mean every interpretation is valid, does it? Let's try to be honest and reasonable and not make specious arguments, okay?

If the KJV is an accurate translation of the Word of God, then there is no problem. Most scholars agree that the KJV is a very good translation. I see no merit in an obviously hostile layman's disagreements with the translation.

frankly, I find it extremely morbid and in serious bad taste to be wearing a dead guy around your neck and calling him god...but then again, christianity is a very morbid religion that ritualistically worships a dead god, drinks his blood and eats his flesh as a way to wipe away one's sins

and you walk on your feet.

you shall not walk on your hands with shoes on them.

get a grip Rabbit.

How to interpret anything you read.

Read the words.
Know the defintions.
Know the context.

You have failed to do any of those Rabbit.

Hey clown, I never said I grew out of it, however TLW said he practices self restraint. It was merely a suggestion nothing else. Also note, there was no Biblical reference in my suggestion.

While your maybe you could reseach the commandment that talks about not being a Jackass!

Prehaps, share with him your experience as a teenager. Let him know that you did it and most all teens do it, but also tell him how you eventually grew out of it. This should hopefully, let him know, that in fact, there is nothing wrong with it (or him) and also boost his confidence that he too will eventually grow out of it as well.

interesting as it might be, there are many flaws in it. Some people need to pick back up their bibles and put down the "other sources" of "information". "Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God". ( believe that is an exact quote, too lazy this morning to go look it up) As Christians we need to remember this. Many people have had "thoughts" or "ideas" about what we think God would do based on what WE would do. This idea of universal salvation is just one fine example of such an idea. Yes it is true, "God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." However, this is not going to be the case. God Himself will not put anyone in hell, their sins will drag them there. Yes, God is merciful, but He is also perfect justice. His justice DEMANDS that sin is paid for, and unless a person is willing to accept the sacrifice of Christ for their own their sin remains. Even in the "end" when He returns for us, Christ will still meet out justice on His church. Read in Matthew the parable of the Sheep and the Goats, in this parable Christ returns and gathers HIS OWN and divides them. He clearly sends the goats to "eternal punishment prepared for the devil". After the 1000 year reign of Christ on the earth, the devil will be released from "sheol" and once again wreak havoc on the earth and form the armies of Gog and Magog and wage war against Christ and His servants. After this war Christ will reign supreme and EVERYTHING will be consumed by fire. The devil and his followers will be cast into the lake of fire and God will create a new heaven and a new earth. There the faithful will once again live in the paradise that God originally intended. In 1 Corinthians (I believe) it says "know you not that you shall judge men and angels" if we are to judge men, then what is to become of that judgment if not that some are condemned?

Well I think I have made my point and will not over state my opinion.

Is it true that LDS'ers believe in "magic rocks"?
