Dear Forum Members,
I have to stay away form here for a while. Although I like pretty much everyone here, this forum is not helping me become closer to God. If anything it's drawing me away for Him.
I have to be honest. I am a Christian and as one I believe that the only way to salvation...
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United...
I thought I had found the perfect Church and I was ready to join them. They believe the exact same things as I do. Then the Pastor handed me a copy of the church's constitution and by laws. Article 2 Section R of the constitution reads as follows:
(R) Divorce and Marriage. We believe that God...
O.K. I'm going to try this out, if it doesn't take, so be it. If this has already been done someone let me know so I can feel like an idiot.:bonk:
I'm going to start with a song title and artist. The next person has to use one word (any word in the title) from the previous song title for...
I was just reading Jacob's telling of the allegory of the tame and wild olive trees. Although I found it a bit long and redundant in places, it is a beautiful metaphor for Christ's Love for us.;)
How did this story touch you when you read it?
I very recently had some doubts about the LDS Church, but after re-reading 2 Nephi 28, 29 I realize now that in order to learn the truth one must learn it from the right source. I am guilty of almost buying into some very anti-Mormon nonsense recently, but no more will I try to seek truth by...
I live in a suburb of Portland, Maine. In the past 15 years or so we have had a great influx of immigrants and peoples of all differnt faiths and ethnicities. We all work and live alongside of each other with a good deal of peace and goodwill for one another.
The city of Portland decided a...
I want to wish everyone here, whether you are celebrating Christmas, Ramadan, Kwanza, Hannakah, Mirthamas, or nothing at all a very happy December and a fruitfull and happy 2006. I mean that from my heart to all my new friends here at Religious Forums.
Not that it's a big whoop-dee deal or anything, but I just thought I'd share with everyone that I've made the decision to become a member of the CoJCoLDS. I haven't made this decision lightly. I've carefully looked at other options, but LDS just fits right in perfectly with what I'm looking...
As Saalam Alaykum friends,
I know this issue has probably been addressed more times than a preacher says Amen, but I am curious. What is the difference between Shia and Sunni?

I know I've already made my apperance here in the intro baord, but I feel compelled to add this little thread also.
I have been involved in many discussion forums for many years now. Most of them have been either political or religion forums. I am not trying to sound like an a-kisser here...
Greetings,
I am not a Muslim so I apologise that I don't know the proper salutations. I want to tell the Muslims here something and I hope it doen't sound silly. Recently I have been having a conflict in my heart about what faith I should follow. I have until now been a fundemental...
Do any LDS members here know if the CoJCoLDS has an official stand on Freemasonry?
Do any Mormons here have their own opinion on it?
I'm wondering because I am considering looking into the possibility of becoming a Mormon, but I am a Mason also.
My name is John. I have considered myself a Christian most of my life but have been unable to find a Christian church that suits me. It seems most people in most Christian churches aren't there to worship God, but to impress each other and kiss the pastors *** in hopes of some sort of...
