Wait a minute, wait a minute. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses, right? And, if you look at the first verse of chapter 19 in Leviticus, it reads: "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying," So, where is the difference coming in here?
Now, about bearing false witness, for me, I don't...
Just returned from scripture check on aisle 5
Results: Leviticus 19:11 - "Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another."
Exodus 20:16 - "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
HHHMMMM.....sounds like commandments to me.
Mr_Spinkles may be...
Mr_Spinkles,
I find it hilarious that in this thread you are claiming that the Holy Spirit has testified to you that God lies, but in the religous debates forum under The Question of Faith you claim not to believe in God. So, are you in a state of uncertainty? So, even if the Holy Ghost...
Mr_Spinkles,
Are you saying that God is imperfect? Because Jesus Christ commanded us in Matthew 5:49 - "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." So, if we are to be like God the Father and one of the Ten Commandments says 'Thou shalt not lie' but God does...
Let me join voices with Dan.
No, not all non-Christians will go to hell. Not all Christians will go to heaven. We both know that there are many Christians who profess the name of the Lord, but do not live their lives in accordance with His teachings.
"Not every one that saith unto me...
He did tell me that He doesn't lie. I shared about 8 scriptures from The Bible where He says He doesn't lie. Not one in there says that He does lie. I know because the Holy Spirit has testified to me of these things and I cannot doubt it.
I know God lives and knows and loves each one of us...
Mr_Spinkles,
Sure, God has the power to lie, but He won't. He has chosen to do that which is righteous; therefore, He won't lie. He has free agency just as you and I do. All of God's doings are just and will be; otherwise, we would not be able to trust Him. There is no variableness in...
Suicide is a very sad topic. I have had thoughts of committing suicide when I was younger. And I think that, atleast in my case, it was selfishness. I wasn't getting what I wanted emotionally, even physically and so I felt like I was worthless. It's sad, really, because when I started to put...
Mr. Spinkles,
Yes, I would say that God does have free agency, but He has already decided what His choices would be; unlike us. We still struggle with that, for we are not perfect as He is and we still make mistakes. He is a perfect being and does not make mistakes. God is righteous...
Just because God is omnipotent doesn't mean that He is going to go against His word. He will not lie; He will not change. He sets forth the commandments and the consequences; both blessings and punishments. He will not deviate from that course. Here are some verses from The Bible:
"He is...
Hey, I'm new here; atleast within the past week. I've enjoyed learning about others' points of view. It has been very interesting. I'm excited to share my beliefs, and learn about others'.
Thank You!!!
Khale,
I totally agree that God is omnipotent. Now, I suppose, seeing as God is God, He could change the rules. But then God wouldn't be the same yesterday, today, and forever. He set the rules and God cannot lie. I guess when we come to the great and last judgement day and all of the...
I testify to you in the name of Jesus Christ that The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is true and is the word of God. The Bible, too, testifies of the divinity of God and His great love for us and is His word.
Yes, there are many of our brothers and sisters here in the...
There is purpose in this life. God didn't send us here for nothing. He wants us to be like Him. Now, many of you may think that's blasphemy. I'm here to tell you that we are to become like God; and we can. If we are not to become like God, then why does Christ command in Matthew 5:48 "Be ye...
I have some wonderful books called The Bible, containing Old and New Testaments; The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ; The Doctrine and Covenants of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and The Pearl of Great Price. When I post a comment here, you will often see me...
God is omnipotent. He is not a God of chaos.
"Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion." (Doctrine and Covenants 132:8)
So, let me answer your question with a question. Do you believe that there are certain rules/laws/commandments that we...
Ok, I hope I make this clear and understandable. God lives. He is an actual being. Now, in my religion (LDS) we believe in the GodHead. The GodHead comprises of 3 Beings: The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. They are 3 distinct, seperate beings. Joseph Smith in The Doctrines and...
Scott,
I look forward to talking more with you and others about my beliefs. I love learning about others as well. I had an opportunity to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines and saw how the Catholic Church operates there. Met some very...
