    Evolution question

    If man evolved in a progressive manner from some lesser species, then why are none of those intermediate forms of life found anywhere? For example... If we evolved from some primate-like creature and this evolution was slow and progressive then there must have been thousands of in-between...

    Joseph Smith - Prophet of God

    The Old Testament prophet Amos taught that "the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7). During the difficult infant days of Christianity Paul taught the same principle: that prophets and apostles would always serve as the foundation of...

    The end of revelation?

    This was posted in another thread and I feel that it's worthy of its own discussion... How did you reach this conclusion? I have asked this before, but I've never really received a clear answer. "There will be no further Revelation after him" is a very bold and significant statement. Where...

    The Protestant Hell

    I realize there are many different flavors of Protestants, but I'm curious to hear their beliefs concerning hell. Are people who lived a decent life, yet were members of some other faith (Islam, Buddism, etc) going to spend eternity in hell because they failed to accept Christ? What about the...

    Catholic priesthood authority?

    This question is for RCC and EOC members. Who, if any, do you view as holding proper priesthood authority that is outside of your respective denomination? Does the RCC and EOC recognize each others authority as being recognized by God?

    Protestant priesthood authority?

    Despite the fact that I believe proper governing priesthood authority was taken from the earth upon the death of the Apostles, I do believe that the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches have the strongest cases for proper priesthood succession among all non-restorationist denominations...

    Children of God

    The scriptures are full of references to God as our Father. Some do so in the context of a covenant relationship... "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of...

    Sealing power given to Peter

    "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:19) What is the purpose of this authority: "whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be...

    The Priesthood

    This is coming from an LDS perspective, and the discussion is open to any who are interested. There are two priesthoods mentioned in scripture: the priesthood after the order of Melchisedec (the Melchisedec Priesthood - MP), and the priesthood after the order of Aaron (the Aaronic Priesthood -...

    Trinitarians' interpretation of "us"

    In Genesis 1:26 we read "And God said let US make man in OUR own image and after OUR likeness". To us non-trinitarians this makes perfect sense since we believe that both God the Father and Jesus Christ were involved in the creation. I'm curious though, how do trinitarians interperet the...

    Question concerning authoritive baptism

    This question is for both RCC and EOC members. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that you recognize certain baptisms performed by other denominations. For example if a baptised Methodist converts to Catholicism he does not need to be baptised by a Catholic priest. Is that correct? If...

    Pinning down the Apostasy

    In order to avoid hi-jacking another thread... Hmmmm. That sounds like a challenge :cool:. First off, there was not necessarily one single event that spawned the Apostasy. The Apostasy was defined by the following conditions: 1. Lack of Apostolic or churchwide governing...

    Modern-Day Prophets

    This is a topic that has recently come up briefly in a few different threads so I decided it was time to bring it up on its own. As many of you know, we LDS believe in a living modern-day prophet, called of God, and authorized to clarify and establish doctrines, and even canonize new...

    The Answer That Just Makes Sense

    I'm sure you've all seen this question many times before, but just to be thourough I'll restate it once again. It is virtually indisputable that millions of people have come and gone without ever having heard of Jesus Christ much less had the chance to believe in him, accept his gospel, and be...
