    The way we screwed up the universe.

    Wow! :eek:

    The question Evolutionsists can't answer

    And, I agree with this. :) Where you and I may differ is in the how's/mechanics of His creation. ;)

    The question Evolutionsists can't answer

    Well said. :) Instinct, genetically coded, is the driving force in the animal kingdom. Eating habits, sex drive, migratory patterns, nesting, hunting, predator evasion, habitats and the like, are all the result of instinct. Desire for sex, beyond the instinctual level, is limited to animals...

    What's the buzz? (Mormon Frenzy)

    You're right. I found out that they use the New World Translation version of the Bible. Thanks for the clarification.

    Mormons believe that God the Father is an exalted MAN?

    Come on now. Is this the level you want to communicate on? Is this really necessary? If it is, I'm out. I like to keep these discussions respectful and dignified. I have no animosity or ill feelings towards you. I am not out to insult you or attack you. I am here to discuss differences in...

    Mormons believe that God the Father is an exalted MAN?

    From the word 'ben' - Ben: son, grandson, child, member of a group son, male child grandson children (pl. - male and female) youth, young men (pl.) young (of animals) ** sons (as characterisation, i.e. sons of injustice [for un- righteous men] or sons of God [for angels]...

    I'll be standing by, putting scripture in context. ;)

    Linda Ronstadt: 'I don't like singing for Christians'

    Thanks for this article. The Aladdin Hotel doesn't give a flip about politics. They are running a business. Any reasonable management would get rid of anything that hinders or hurts business. They were not focused on political ideology. They were looking at business costs. From a...

    What's the buzz? (Mormon Frenzy)

    Ahh, but you're wrong. ;) Much can be learned through the debate process. The same Bible you use, is the same Bible Jehovah Witnesses use. Yet, you both come to completely different conclusions in several major areas. Giving spiritual guidance equality on both sides, we are left with logic and...

    For Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses Only -

    This issue is dead, as per the staff edit of the OP. Apparently, we will be unable to have a debate exclusively between Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses at Christian Forums. This is unfortunate. And since non-Mormons and non-Jehovah Witnesses have some misinformation about these two churches...

    Honest question

    Ah, yes. The Urim & Thummim, from the days of the Hebrews - before Christ. Urim represented light. Thummin represented truth. After Christ came along, all that stuff ended, (for followers of Christ anyway). To Christ's followers, Christ is the Light. Christ is the Truth. He sent us...

    Evolution=Atheism

    I'm telling you what I believe on the subject. Period. No contradictions. The specific 'hows' of God's creation, are not core Christian doctrines. What is this? Am I now getting the 3rd degree from you? This thread is not about me. Okay?
