Now if you want to talk about salvation, that's another story. If you want to make it to "heaven" then you need to enter into a covenant with the Lord. That means getting baptized and then living up to the terms of your covenant. In other words you are guaranteed salvation if you just live up to your terms of the covenant.
Salvation is a promise. It's not some hocus pocus. |
I'm glad you're not dumb enough to believe in magic.

Xmen substantiates Spider-Man. The Hobbit substantiates the Lord of the Rings. Two myths don't make a truth.
And who needs evidence when you have had a personal experience, unlike anyone else from any of the thousands of religions out there.

Never understood this. Why does God need prophets? He's God, why the middle man wandering out the mountains? He's God!! Don't be shy, you can do anything, just text me.

Actually not quite true. We believe in the Trinity, but not the Trinity that many other Christian believe in. We believe in the Trinity as a Godhead consisting of three distinct entities, the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. We believe they are distinct, instead of just one. We believe that Jesus did not get on the Cross and start talking to Himself like other Christian religions do. |
How is this different to CentralCali's belief?

About Mormons Becoming Gods: The word god is life without end, ie everlasting life. I guess we could call it immortal. By that definition, every Christian believes that they can become a god. Of course there is more to it. If we are all children of God, then what will we become?
About being equal with Christ: Christ did say that all those who do the Will of Heavenly Father are his brothers and sisters. |
Yeah, that really pissed of his mother. |

This is what crazy people say. Do you actually know you're crazy?
Do crazy people actually know they're crazy? I mean, in writing this gibberish did it actually occur to you that "hey, I might just be a crazy person!"?
This is why religion bothers me. |

Louis, why has God even told us about Heaven and Hell?
I thought that a true Christian lives lives a conscientious life out of genuine love for God and mankind.
If that is true, then he or she would not even need Heaven and Hell as motivators. |

That's like saying "lets make sure every relationship doesn't include any pleasure." You should be able to love each other without benefits.
Tomato your moniker should be meatball.  |

Here is a response which I just sent to Yahoo Answers.
I don't know why I never thought of posting it here:

I once sponsored a child through the Christian Children's Fund.
Then later, I went overseas and worked for the Christian Children's Fund.
In that case, the child and the family received about half the money.
But the sponsor assumes that the recipient receives all the money he or she sends, and the recipient assumes that the sponsor sends only the money which he or she receives.
And here I thought Christians were such honest people! |

The rest of that money is safely locked away in an Icelandic bank account. |

There are or were some quite upstanding mormoms. Bundy the serial killer was actually baptized into the mormon faith while he was living with a mormon girl. He probably was immersed and recieved the Holy Ghost in between one of his killing sprees.
The other one that comes to mind is Sonia Johnson. I read her first book which was quite outstanding. Can't remember the name. She got excommunicated for an opinion I think. Anyway she wanted to express her genuine feelings for what in her heart she felt the good side of morminism was, in a church meeting, but was filibustered by a member in the congregation. Powers that were didn't want the world to see that they could have been wrong in throwing her out of the church. |

Wow. 2 people out of 13,000,000. What a scandalous group!
And none of this has anything to do with the people involved with the case at the beginning of this thread. Those people aren't Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). They're a different denomination! |

Hello, Ivor!
Most communities have at least one church for every major denomination.
Every community I've lived in has had a Methodist church and a Presbyterian church. I have not seen any places of worship for the Quakers or Unitarians.
The Mormons are active in most parts of Korea, and the Jehovah's Witnesses are active where I live. CentralCali is a Mormon, which is why he is sticking up for the Mormons. I have not seen any sign of the Baha'i Faith.
Hindu groups do not seem to be popular here. Rteacher is the only foreign teacher I know of who is isolated from his religious group. He belongs to the Hare Krishna group.
This is a marked contrast to my experience in South America, where I often met religious zealots on the street, both latino and gringo, who were eager to welcome me to their throng.
On the whole, Korea is less religious than most other countries. Since they are less receptive to Eastern religion, that could explain why they are less receptive to Western religion. |

The Christian Children's Fund turns down $17'000 because the money was partly raised through selling Dungeons and Dragons stuff:

Apparently Gygax himself often made donations to the fund and now they've chosen to spurn his memory. |
