God coming down from heaven to defeat David's enemies
2 Samuel 22:1,10-11 And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He bowed the heavens and CAME DOWN; thick darkness was under his feet. He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.

God judging Jerusalem in...

The Angel says the heads are 7 hillswhere the Woman sits. The word "Hills" makes the link or leap to Rome. The KJV and NIV translate the word as hills. Most others use mountains. If the translators were consistent we would be saying the "Hill of Olives" " Hill Zion". The word is used 64 times (Strong's 3735) , 62 times translated mount or mountain. Daniel in chapter 7 has 4 beast with a total of 7 heads with the final beast having 10 horns. They are 4 different kingdoms.
How then is all the heads on the 7 headed beast in REV 17 all Rome ?

I never understood the theology behind that since Jesus had bread and wine. When I was growing up I never had a church that offers bread and wine even when they say they follow the Bible. Does anybody know the reason Evangelical churches have this change?

Reading revelations 20, and more specifically revelations 20:7-8.

Will believers/Christians be tempted AGAIN after the 1000 year millennial reign?
Who specifically will be tempted by satan after 1000 years? Will it be those who didn’t accept Jesus? Or believers/Christians will be tempted a second time?

Here is a YouTube video about a church where the congregants and preacher participate in religious services while being butt naked:
Personally, I think it is morally unacceptable to have church services while in the nude. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we should not strip down naked while in the house of the Lord--or anywhere in public. That's weird!

Hello All,

The question for discussion today is...

WAS THE FIRST LIE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN; YOU CAN BREAK ANY OF GOD'S COMMANDEMENTS AND NOT DIE WHEN GOD'S TOLD ADAM AND EVE NOT TO EAT THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT LEST YOU DIE?

Let's start at John and at the beginning of Genesis 3

Let's start here with the father of lies......

JOHN 8:44
[44], Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT.

The Devil is the Father of LIES those that do not FOLLOW God follow their Father the devil and the deeds of their father they will do....

Apart from the Trinity, the question of Christology was the most important question that the early church faced. Each of the answers in the poll represent an early heresy (and each has a fancy name). There is only one orthodox option in the poll.

So who is Jesus? Explain and defend.

Did something good come from something bad?

It seems that the source of human conscience, our innate ability to know right from wrong, came from the Fall of humanity in Genesis chapter three.

Was the result of eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, our human conscience, that gives us the ability to know right from wrong?

Is our ability to know right from wrong the result of sinful disobedience to God?

I've been puzzling about this. Any ideas?

Don't all churches believe in the Bible and have worship based on them?

Answer the question they should have asked.

"Always remember, as holiness grows within and you are entrusted with greater knowledge and understanding, you must treat these things with care. The Lord said, 'That which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit' (D&C 63:64). He also commanded that we must not cast pearls before swine or give that which is holy to dogs (see 3 Ne. 14:6; D&C 41:6), meaning sacred things should not be discussed with those who are not prepared to appreciate their value."
