Searching for evidence and proof, as a priority over belief, mislead us to Christ.

Consider another variable. God hides critical truth from those who will abuse it.

No. We believe that all of us are spiritual children of God who lived with Him before this life. Not all of His children were blessed with this opportunity for earth life, due to rebellion and choices they made. One of them was Lucifer, who tried to usurp God's honor, or power. This "son of...

Interesting responses and viewpoints.. In my faith and beliefs, we acknowledge that all things have an opposite. The simple version is how could something be tall, if there was not also something short to reference tall, and vice versa. If good cannot exist without evil, and if God is good and...

Truth is not determined by personal interpretation. It is received by personal revelation, after one is prepared to receive it. If shortcuts are used in searching and preparing, that opens the door to false spirits revealing wrong standards of truth. That is why the "milk" of the gospel of...

It sounds like you are asking for proof about the Holy Spirit's presence in the hearts of others. If I could prove it to you, that would be your first clue that it is false. The same is true for most, if not all of the things of God. The only proof is when a person proves it to, and for self...

Many posts seem to suggest that God created evil. Am I misreading these?

Many have commented about the idea of who hears the Holy Spirit, when there are so many differing divisions about what this One Spirit teaches. Obviously, the Holy Spirit is not going to teach conflicting truths. I see a few variables that apply, which have not yet been considered. When I look...

Nothing written in human language can be perfect.

It seems that many people believe it is temptation which causes us to sin. I do not see it that way. Temptation entices us to sin, but our free will can trump temptation. The bottom line factor is who/Who and what we love. And we do not understand what we love until we have a choice in the...

I do not understand how or why one could believe that Satan is on God's payroll. How does one reach that conclusion?

Please stay on topic. Thanks!

1 Corinthians 10:13 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Since Satan is the source of...

It has been declared by Gordon B. Hinkley that we make bad people good, and good people better. Don't we all? I don't know that anyone has a full defining concept of this doctrine, as Isaiah explained that understanding comes "line upon line and precept upon precept". It is definitely a milk...

Have you checked your statement under your name? "I left Mormonism for Christ" Whether you see it or not, it is an offensive like attack.

Did not Jesus tell the woman, who was taken in sin, to "...go and sin no more?" Also: 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make...

Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; The difference, I suppose, is that Jesus learned obedience perfectly.

"Admit" carries a tone of uncertainty and reluctance, or even a sense of shame or guilt. Our view is most certainly different. But I believe we are all still trying to set our sights on the same Central Figure who is the Son of God, and Him that saves us. How and why we understand differently...

We baptize "... in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." The New Testament teaches "... he that planteth and he that watereth are one." Jesus prayed to the Father, "Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we...

Wow! You downsized your post? Thank you for the heartfelt expressions, in the Spirit of sharing with love. It opens a better understanding of one another's perspectives when trust and acceptance is communicated, even when disagreement is also expressed. You brought out many valid points...
