    Knowing God

    No. Should I? You are using scriptures that directly discredit certain man made Christian philosophies. I am certain based on your verbiage that you are not a Latterday Saint, however I was impressed that you utilized scriptures to suggest as the LDS do that the faithful our inheritors of the...

    Monotheists: why only one god?

    Polytheistic societies were destroyed by their absence in morals indirectly caused by their liberalness in deities. They had nothing strong to hold on to, other than eventually Caesar who acted as a god in himself which brought death to him and his corrupted republic. I am only a commentator of...

    Monotheists: why only one god?

    Are you assuming that the God that Theist believe in is as selfish, unrighteous, and unloving as Stalin and Lenin?

    Monotheists: why only one god?

    I assume with your usage of a question mark, that you are implying a question, but I am not sure what it is. If you disagree with my statement I am sure you will tell me some type of reason as to why rather than creating a non-essential and unsupported gasp in word form. Polytheism and Atheism...

    Monotheists: why only one god?

    You, as many theists might be overly concerned by the definition of God. The Bible which origin is very polytheistic in nature and culture later gives a monumental commandment of 'There shalt not be any other gods before me.' This implies an initial although not conclusive introduction to...

    Knowing God

    Please tell me your a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. I have not met a Non-LDS Christian that holds any of these scriptures seriously because of Sola Scriptura and Faith alone not works lead to salvation, the trinity as taught by the creeds, etc.

    What does your church teach?

    My Church teaches that everyone is a Child of God. There should be no hierarchy or power struggle. Jesus made himself servant under everyone even though he was God. There are specific roles that we need to help each other with and a leader and teacher is one of them for protection and for...

    Burden of proof

    In my opinion yes and no. Anyone can say they saw a leprechaun in the forest near their house and they could convince a handful of people to confirm their belief who are local leprechaun hunters that want to join their cause. Their witness is not objective evidence itself, but if it leads to...

    Burden of proof

    If you consider testimonies not evidence than yes that is exactly what I'm saying. History itself is as subjective as it comes, we will always have difference of opinions on what object of history mean even in a scientific realm of evidence and proof. What remains a mystery is the albeit sudden...

    Burden of proof

    Claim: Church restored by an all powerful being that created the universe through a mortal man which by nature makes it the most accurate Church/organization in the universe. Proof: A series of supernatural events in the creation and narrative in the Bible and Book of Mormon. Written...

    Praising Putin.

    Thanks for taking the time to understand the situation rather than being spoon-fed information from the media. Putin is no Saint, but neither our we, and we have no right to judge our standards are right just because we believe another's is wrong. The world needs more people like you apparently.

    Frustrated athiest asks why do you believe in God?

    6 billion people want to be lost in an 'illusion'. That is the amount of Theists there are in the world. You are mistaking illusion for imagination, we need imagination to function in a reality. We could do without Illusion true, but we could not do without imagination. Think of what the world...

    Frustrated athiest asks why do you believe in God?

    Your frustration is a logical response. Though psychologically it typically means that you have not resolved an issue that is deep within yourself. You desperately want everyone to see your way hoping that would make life a lot easier for you. With this you will only continue your frustration...

    Why did the wages of sin need a Judas in order to fulfill the promise given to Eve?

    I can see the Acts account happening more likely. I think for Judas to be a Son of Perdition he wouldnt want to repent, but that he would have become a true Athiest. Where he would have known fully that Jesus was God, yet because Jesus didnt satisfy Judases wishes, He lost all care and destroyed...

    Why did the wages of sin need a Judas in order to fulfill the promise given to Eve?

    I agree with this. If we look at why Lucifer was cast out of heaven, it was because of pride and wanting more glory. Jesus said that it would be better for a man to not be born than to betray the Son of Man. He was referring to Judas I think when he said that, suggesting that if Judas were to...

    Why did the wages of sin need a Judas in order to fulfill the promise given to Eve?

    Betrayal wasn't unique to Judas, nor do I think Judas had to betray Jesus for the result to conclude with his eventual crucifixion. I like to think of Judas's betrayal akin to Lucifer's betrayal to God. I don't believe that Lucifer, the Son of the Morning, was the originator of evil. Meaning he...

    My first post

    Oh Ok, I'll remember that for next time. (note to self: Do not consider physical abilities and biological differences the same as rights for stevecanuck.) Don't worry I'll put the rock back on my way out so you can continue living under it.

    My first post

    I looked at starkweather and Hames articles and it address polyandry which is more of a married woman being assigned to another married man. Men were typically the instigators of these institutions for whatever reasons. See below from the summary of Starkweather and Hames. 'analysis reveals...

    My first post

    If you think that addressing equality in religion means that the women should have the same abilities as the man, you will have a very difficult time finding any religion that is equal. As much as we want it to be, women and men were never created equally. Women are biologically different and...
