    Proof

    Why is it that people that believe in a god, whoever that god may be, feel that they have to prove the existence of their diety to people that don't believe in God? I say it should be the other way around. In the Book of Mormon, Alma, the High Priest, was talking to Korihor, an anti-Christ, when...

    Vatican School?

    Hey guys, I'm studying the New Testament and early Christianity for school, and I was thinking about where to go to graduate school. I have heard that the Vatican has its own university, but I've been unable to find it anywhere online. I was wondering if you guys knew anything about a Vatican...

    From a Latter-day Saint

    Hi guys, I just wanted to tell you that I, and many people that I talk to within the Church, thing that Mohammad was inspired. The university that I go to, Brigham Young University, a Church run school, had some of the incoming freshmen read most of the Quran over the summer. I didn't have...

    The Cross

    Hi guys, I haven't posted on here in a really long time; BYU's killing me. Anyway, I know we don't use the cross as a symbol of our Church, because we focus on the Resurrection and His life instead of His death; that's the usually response anyway, but I want to take a different view on the...

    LDS Doctrine?

    In the "Mormonism" thread in the general religious debate forum, Deepshadow manks the point that God doesn't have a wife and salvation by good works are not LDS doctrine. Temple marriage or sealing is a requirement to acheive the highest glory in the Celestrial Kingdom. It says in D&C 131:1-4...

    Christians: Lost Books

    What do you guys think about this. "The so-called lost books of the Bible are those documents that are mentioned in the Bible in such a way that it is evident they are considered authentic and valuable, but that are not found in the Bible today. Sometimes called missing scripture, they consist...

    "Wedding Crashers"

    Hey guys! I just want to warn you about the movie "Wedding Crashers". It's PG-13, but is REALLY bad. I just watched part of it, and had to leave. Just thought I'ld let you know.

    What do you think of this?

    Amos 8:11-12 - 11. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to...

    Christ

    I have a question. The last couple of days I have been thinking about if Christ's atonement reaches to the other worlds. Is Christ the Savior of the universe? It's my understanding that He is. If He is the Savior of the universe, why was He crucified on our world? I've heard different...

    The Canon

    All Christians, except the LDS, I believe, say that the scriptural cannon is closed. When did God or one of His prophets say there is no more scripture to give??? And, to say that the Bible we have now is the only word of God is kind of dumb. There are obviously lost books, not included in the...

    Christian: Are We Going to Hell?

    I tryed to ask this on another thread, but no one would answer. Most people agreed that, to be Christian, you have to believe in the Athanasian Creed, Nicene Creed, and the Apostles Creed. Since members of the LDS Church don't believe this, they say we're not Christian. That's crap, but...

    Christians:LDS Members are Christian!

    I was in a book store yesterday, in the religious section, and I saw a book titled, The Answer Book. So I picked it up and started flipping through the pages and came across the question, "Are Mormons Christians?". I thought that was kind of a dumb question because everyone knows we are. The...

    The New Joseph Smith Movie

    I went to Kirtland yesterday w/ my seminary class, and, in the visitor's center, they showed a movie going through Joseph Smith's life. I guess it has been showing in Utah for a while, and just came to Kirtland. Well, the movie is awsome! I welled up so many times during the movie. The...

    Insanity

    In my AP History class today the question was posed that if your insane, should you get away w/ murder. Don't you have to be insane to murder somebody anyway? I believe, that they give the people that plead insanity take a I.Q. test, to see if they can be held responsible for the crime. Don't...

    The Death Penality

    Personally I think that anyone 16 and up that murders another person, and is relitively mentally stable, should be put to death. I also think that rapeists like that guy in Vermont that got 60 days in jail because of some lunitic judge, should be put to death.:mad: What do you guys...

    Sin vs. Transgression

    In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve didn't know good from evil. The knowledge of good from evil is requisit for sin. Adam transgressed the law, he didn't sin. This is one of the many reasons the LDS Church doesn't believe that we are responsible for Adam's "original sin". We can't be...

    Did Christ appear to other nations?

    Who are these other sheep? I think most of Christianity believes He is talking about the gentiles. But, is it really the gentiles He is talking about? In this scripture Christ says He'll personally go to these other sheep, to bring them into His fold. Christ never ministered to the gentiles...

    Just Wondering

    Even though I'm unshakeable in my religion I like learning some of the beliefs of others. I have no clue what JW's believe in, so I was just wondering if you could give me an overview of your guy's religion.

    Infant Baptism and the Atonement

    I, of course, don't want to offend anybody's religion, but doesn't infant baptism actually deny the Atonement of Christ? Infant baptism assumes that all men are born in sin and that to be cleansed from this original sin they must be baptized. Why would we be responsible for anyone else's sin...
