    Are Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses Christian - I argue "Yes"

    Well, it all depends on what you define 'Christian' to mean. If you define 'Christian' as anyone who calls themselves a Christian, or anyone says they follow a figure-head named Christ Jesus, then yes, I guess that Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians (and I say 'guess' because Mormons...

    Are FLDS "Mormons" really Mormons?

    Joseph Smith founded Mormonism on the basis that every other religion is wrong, so what you just said supports what I said.

    contradictions in the bible???

    The 6th commandment is do not murder, not do not kill. Do not kill is an incorrect translation. Murder means to kill without just cause, against the law. Killing in circumstances such as self-defense, punishment for crime, war, and such are not sins. The punishment for sin The phrase...

    contradictions in the bible???

    It's always fun to prove Katzpur wrong, I volunteer! The first thing to be aware of is that Mormons use the KJV version of the Bible. There’s nothing inherently wrong with KJV, but it is 400 years old, and, believe it or not, language changes a bit in 400 years. I’m guessing that many of these...

    Are FLDS "Mormons" really Mormons?

    In case nobody figured it out yet, I was drawing a parallel to the fact that Mormons get upset when they're not called Christian, yet they deny FLDS to be Mormons even though FLDS beliefs are much, much more similar to LDS beliefs than Christian beliefs are. Just throwing that out there.

    Atheist soldier claims harassment.

    I say, get over it. People will make fun of you no matter what you believe. I was called gay in high school because I respected women and refused to treat them as sex objects like most of my peers did, but you don't see me crying about it. If this atheist solider honestly cares so much about...

    The Curse of Faith

    He makes a lot of assertions but doesn't really back them up with anything other than his own opinion.

    Are FLDS "Mormons" really Mormons?

    For LDS in particular, are FLDS considered Mormons also? I'm curious, since I not sure of what the differences are other than FLDS still practice polygamy I think.

    Pretend you're the God of Christianity...

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was put there to give Adam and Eve a choice to obey God or to not obey God. If the only choice is to obey God then there really isn't any choice at all and there would be no point in creating Earth in the first place. God wants people to choose to...

    Medical Phenomena in the Garden of Gethsemane

    Blood coming out of a wound is continuous, it doesn't drip out. It just means he was sweating a lot, it really isn't rocket science.

    Is gambling a sin for the Christian?

    The stock market is not gambling. It can be used to gamble, like day-trading, I'll give you that, but when done intelligently you can make lots of money with little risk. The problem with gambling is that it's stupid. The risk is way too high compared to chances of winning, and the only real...

    Christian/Catholic - Why...?

    Wow three years. Thats slightly more than one page of an average sized Bible a day. I guess that explains why Catholics understand the Bible so well! And the Bible came from the Catholic Church? ROFL. At best they confirmed what had already been canonized, and thats very debatable.

    Christian/Catholic - Why...?

    Me neither. The Bible encourages sex between a married couple, but then again Catholics don't pay much attention to the Bible.

    Christians--Do Evangelicals Believe Everyone Else Going to Hell?

    I would like as many people to be saved as possible, which is why I say only what is the truth concerning salvation. Lying won't help save anyone. As far as feelings go, they don't have any effect on reality, but if you want to talk feelings then I feel the need to tell the truth rather than...

    Should parents be allowed refuse blood transfusions for their children on religious grounds?

    I don't think anyone should be allowed to refuse blood transfusions for anyone other than themselves. I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with receiving a blood transfusion when the other likely outcome is death, but regardless of the reason you should not be allowed to refuse one...

    Christians--Do Evangelicals Believe Everyone Else Going to Hell?

    The only thing bold about your post is how boldly you take things out of context. Paul is writing to the Jews about the fact that God doesn't play favorites and that the Jews aren't going to be saved simply because they are Jews. He isn't telling them they are saved by their works, which is why...

    Bible study, open to all

    We're not. It's obvious you're trying to "discredit" the Bible by quoting Numbers 31 without Numbers 25 also. If you didn't know about Numbers 25, then its obvious you just went to some website and copied your post from there. In either case, you made no attempt to read the text, so of course...

    Christians--Do Evangelicals Believe Everyone Else Going to Hell?

    ROFL? Romans 1 is the WORST chapter to cite if you're trying to argue that people can be saved without knowing Christ. It says that people have no excuse whatsoever for knowing God, and that people have every opportunity to know about God but that they deliberately choose to believe lies about...

    Christians--Do Evangelicals Believe Everyone Else Going to Hell?

    As I said before, if the Bible says that people can be saved without believing in Christ, then prove it. Quote a scripture that shows someone being saved without believing in Christ. Otherwise you're just making stuff up.
