In other words, we must test our ideas against the evidence at hand or we risk making loosely grounded judgments (and start equating Rachel Dolezal to Caitlyn Jenner). Deaf people regularly have good and successful lives regardless of hearing loss and enjoy the company of friends who know ASL (or whatever the local sign language)
Those who have been so sealed will live together forever with their children and will continue to have sex and procreate more children for all eternity. A direct quote from their Book of Mormon (written by Joseph Smith) says "...for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, AFTER all we can do" (2 Nephi 25:23, pg
But on the other hand, discouraged and self-loathing personalities also come from basing your identity on your performance and thinking you are failing. The LDS Church emphasizes its commitment to family, of course, and the pioneers who crossed the plains and mountains included mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers
Do Christians really believe God is trustworthy?How do Christian respond when asked, do they believe the Bible to be the inerrant word of God? For many, the trust, in God starts to wane at this point. Its amazing that as a non-believer you become more alienated than those who are considered as part of a cult.In reality the world has always lived and breathed off of conjecture
Mormon Jokes
Even the long hours of fruitless tracting, being chased by the fowls of the air, and being pursued by the beast of the field were not as disheartening as the lack of sacred objects known as letters. Contributed by James One busy Saturday as I was leaving for work and my husband was leaving for the temple, our 11-year-old asked who was going to fix breakfast
In my other life I was a Mormon: Mormon Rules: The List
This doctrine also includes things that we should do like eat oats and grains, fruits and vegetables, get good amounts of sleep and avoid substances that are harmful. God loved us all and Jesus died for our sins, no where in the bible does it say you have to be of certain color or of a certain club to believe in Christ
What Do Atheists Believe In?
I know that a man named Jesus Christ walked the earth, I know that many people saw him and witnessed his teaching and manipulations of matter (miracles), I know that he spoke about love and righteousness and explained who God is. The advertising and war industries are the only ones interested in psychology, and that, only as a manipulating tool, not for healthy and balanced reasons
Do Christians REALLY Believe?
I have already presented impossible scenarios for god to accomplish, I have presented contradictions in the bible (which if one part is wrong, how can you prove that any other part is right?),and scientific data to back up the claims. A trillion years before it created our universe, the multiverse was also already infinitely old, and thus statistically it would have already created our universe, based on probabilities
Brighan Young speaking: "After men have got their exaltations and their crowns - have become Gods..." 2 - We are co-eternal with God We believe we have all existed for all eternity. 10 - By being Mormons we are assured of salvation - even if we are wrong We believe that even if we are wrong about Mormonism, God will forgive us since we believed in Christ just like the Christians said we should
Where are the experts, the professionals, who were to collude with us and help expand our knowledge? When was the last time you posted with one of those individuals? All there is is you, me and the others we blog with everyday. I guess the positive results won't be much better than placebo effects or natural remissions or from focusing or visualising something without god beliefs
INVESTIGATING MORMONISM
The first group came from the Tower of Babel, about 2200 BC, and two other groups came from Jerusalem just before the Babylonian Captivity, about 600 BC. McConkie's private admission that Brigham Young did teach the doctrine, is in Tanner, LDS Apostle Confesses Brigham Young Taught Adam-God Doctrine, available from Utah Lighthouse Ministry
Mormonism - Christian or Cult?
Thus, by denying the Restoration was an actual historical event, the RLDS Church has undermined the very foundation upon which all of Joseph Smith Jr.'s later work depends and, thereby, undermining their own foundation. Paul Edwards, the dean of the Park College Graduate School of Religion and Temple School Center director, has stated that each member must look to his or her own existential experience for a basis of truth
This is why the boy Joseph Smith Jun., saw the Father and Jesus Christ in a glorious vision in answer to his prayer on which denomination he should join. This is why as studies had shown that the core of our galaxy is covered by interstellar dust to protect the outside world from the radiation that will come out from the core
We also believe that once resurrected, we will be accountable for how we lived our lives and be judged by the standard of His teachings -- which all men and women will eventually have the opportunity to accept or reject. In the New Testament, when the resurrected Christ appeared to His Apostles, He told them, "Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have" (Luke 24:39)

So if we have such a scientific religion, what do I mean when I say that I feel sometimes like Mormons believe in magic? In Mormon culture, there are stories passed around that are the equivalent of urban legends with Mormon magic. I've seen people healed from guilt and from family patterns that they would otherwise have suffered from all their lives.But I don't think it makes me less of a Christian to say that I would go to the doctor to get a cast on a broken bone rather than rely on a Mormon priesthood blessing
We as members have been blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost and should spend more time listening to the still small voice than obsessing over what to drink. What would happen if we really did? I found a few quotes from Brigham Young in the Journal of Discourses that might be useful if anyone who has already posted here happens to see this, or if anyone else happens to stumble across it
They accept His grace and mercy; they seek to follow His example by being baptized (see Matthew 3:13-17), praying in His holy name (see Matthew 6:9-13), partaking of the sacrament (communion) (see Luke 22:19-20), doing good to others (see Acts 10:38) and bearing witness of Him through both word and deed (see James 2:26).2. Mormons believe that we are all sons and daughters of God and that all of us have the potential to grow during and after this life to become like our Heavenly Father (see Romans 8:16-17)
The last revelation took place in 1978, allowing blacks to receive the priesthood."To be fair, she noted, a lot of churches held similar beliefs about blacks until the Civil Rights movement. These sins range from drinking alcohol, coffee or tea, or smoking cigarettes, to 'major' sins such as adultery, murder, etc." Johnston said.The punishment, Johnston said, is that you don't get to reach the third heaven, where God dwells."There is no hell (in the Mormon religion)," she said

This is the only salvation, not some choice made without consideration of facts but a burning in the bosom, which we are also cautioned to disregard in scripture. Regards!
