    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    Was this meant to be your question to me? You know that I am LDS right? If so.....in order to discuss this, it is important to first determine God's purpose for mankind and the role that the Plan of Salvation plays in gettng us where we needed to go. God's purpose----his work and his...

    Understanding More About God of Israel.

    Saul of Tarsus [turned Paul] was a Pharisee and both of his parents were of Israelite origin. After Paul's father died, his mother Pricilla remarried a Roman Senator by the name of Aquila [Quintus Cornelius Pudens]. This is the reason that Paul was a Roman citizen. Plus....Paul's half-brother...

    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    Jesus Christ is known as the Good Shepherd. He decribes the love he has for the sheep....even the ONE who is lost straying away. After Christ secures the "ninety-nine" in the safety of the fold, he leaves them to find "the one" who is lost. . . "As used in the scriptures, to ATONE is...

    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    We are spiritual beings.... experiencing a temporary mortal existence. The mortal body is subject to death, but the spirit is eternal and as such it cannot die. This temporary state of Mortality is only a means to a greater end....it is not the only act....in our eternal story. Most people may...

    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    Jesus Christ is our personal Savior he is not an uncaring collective Savior. God determines what is just and merciful based upon LAW as well as our individual circumstances and our personal knowledge about what is right and wrong. Jesus Christ has paid the PENALITY of sin (which is death and...

    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    Hell can be described as a condition and/or place. People who live on earth can experience earthlife as a hell (it is a product of the mind). Also those who die, can find themselves either in paradise or a state of hell (also called spirit-prison). This state is an unhappy place where there...

    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    I am sorry to burst your scriptural answer...however If you read those scriptures in the correct formate and in CONTEXT you will understand, the intended message, that it is better to be as a living lowly-dog than a dead mighty-lion.....because the lowly-dog is still living and as such he has...

    I am a non-believer and have some questions

    There are some who follow God (and/or Christ) out of FEAR of retribution and yet there are others who follow God out of LOVE through their FAITH. Fear and Faith cannot be present at the same time. The belief system a person ascribes to (whether living out of Fear or Faith) will determine which...

    Christian Atheism

    You are cherry picking this verse taking it out of context. But rather these verses display the difference between one who has Faith + Works (fruit) in Jesus Christ and those who merely believe (doing nothing/having no fruit). Here the scripture states that even the demons believe (however...

    What are: 'the voices in your head'?

    Both the right and left hemisphere of the brain--give opposing information. The rightside tells the deep thoughts and intents of the heart and the leftside argues back with the practical, what the "logical" perspective sees and knows to be true in the "real world." But there again, the...

    What are: 'the voices in your head'?

    There are thoughts processed in both the right and left hemisphere of the brain. The thoughts processed in the rightside are more influenced by intuition, creativity, spirituality, and emotion. The thoughts processed in the Leftside are influenced by logic and analytical thought---the...

    Indoctrination: is it right or wrong?

    INDOCTRINATION is a terrible word. However, I'm sure you didn't Intend to use that term as a negative. I understand INDOCTRINATION to be a form of political propaganda (no matter what institution is being politicized). It is used to LIMIT a person's understanding and therefore manipulate a...
