    The rewards of incest

    So is this what God did when it came time for Adam and Eve's children to have thier own children? Did He "gather some more dirt and harvest some more ribs?" I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not - but if not, please explain how Adam and Eve's children had children without incest...

    The rewards of incest

    I agree with painted wolf. I think God prefers non-incestuous procreation, but I think it was necessary in a few cases throughout the history of the Bible. It is wrong today because it is not necessary like it was in those select cases.

    I (and Dan) have been responding to the "evidence" and I will continue to do so. However, since I don't have "volumes" on my computer (like you do) to copy and paste from, I will only answer one concern at a time. I have written all of my responses by hand and will continue to do so. Let's just...

    Latter-day Saints

    Thank you for your respectful comments - they are nice to hear, especially in this forum. Everything you said is true except I would argue with this statement: "they are Mormons and not Christians". I have never been to a Sunday meeting where I have not heard about Jesus Christ. The name of our...

    KBC1963, I'm not going to respond to 3 pages of concerns. I am a very busy person and I do not have that much time. I will answer all of your concerns, but ONLY ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. This is a forum. We are supposed to have a DISCUSSION. Not a book writing contest. It's obvious that you've...

    Masturbation

    I was going to comment on this but I decided not to because this forum has already gotton way off track. If you would like to hear my view on the gender of God, private-message me. Maybe this would be a good topic to open up for general discussion... I would be happy to moderate such a forum...

    Masturbation

    You stated that God, in your opinion, is anthropomorphic. Genesis 1:27 states that man was created in the image of God. How can we be created in the image of God if He is anthropomorphic? I realize that this is way off the subject, but I am merely defending my point of view. I have provided...

    Latter-day Saints

    Question: Before 1890, some men in the Church had more than one wife, but no women had more than one husband. Why would God only allow men to engage in plural marriage? Answer: Again, the Lord's purpose for plural marriage is to raise up seed unto Him (Jacob 2:30). The Lord would not...

    Latter-day Saints

    You have a knack for complicating fairly simple concepts. Here is my simple explanation of plural marriage. Question: Why did the Lord command the early Saints to engage in plural marriage? Answer: To understand this concept, one must read Jacob 2:30 in the Book of Mormon: "For if I...

    Masturbation

    So those of us who choose not to masturbate do not love our bodies? Those of us who choose not to masturbate are ashamed of our bodies? That is news to me, and I do not believe it. I love my body and I am not ashamed of it. People do not need to masturbate in order to love their bodies and...

    Masturbation

    Christians often justify masturbation simply because the Bible does not directly condemn it. I would suggest a different way to look at: instead of asking what the Bible does not condemn, ask what it does promote. When it comes to intimate relationships, I believe that God intended His...

    Latter-day Saints

    Here is a list of Biblical references that support the Latter-day Saints' belief concerning the corporeal nature of God. I would encourage readers to look some of these scriptures up and view them in their context. Many of these verses refer to parts of God's physical body such as His face...

    Latter-day Saints

    I do believe that God has a physical body, but I do not believe Christ's teachings to Nicodemus had anything to do with the nature of God (for readers who are not familiar with the story of Nicodemus, I have provided it below my comments). When Christ spoke to Nicodemus, He was not trying to...

    Latter-day Saints

    First of all, the verses that were used to disprove the Latter-day Saints' understanding of the nature of God are ambiguous and frequently misinterpreted. I have commented on each of them: Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent...
