    What if Preachers Never Got Paid?

    Would you consider being a preacher if they didn't get paid? If you are a preacher, would you quit if you could longer get paid for it?

    Do you believe in the Resurrection?

    The scriptures talk about people being resurrected with their physical bodies. Do you believe we will really be resurrected or do you believe we will be random, sexless (male or female) spirits floating around? Why?

    How do you determine truth?

    For me, I ask God in prayer and also study it out in the scriptures. I never do one without the other when I seek to know truth from God.

    Song of Solomon: inspired or not?

    I'm saying no. It's pretty obvious as to why. It's more of a love letter than anything.

    Paul vs Jesus Christ?

    I've never understood why so many people put more emphasis on Paul than Christ. When I was on my mission we had a lesson with a rather interesting nonmember. He had attended sacrament meeting with us earlier that day. During part of the lesson he talked about a talk thatwas given by one of the...

    Catholicism, Reformation, and Apostasy

    Can someone explain why Catholics and Protestants today believe there was no apostasy of the church of Jesus Christ? For Catholicism they would believe people who left under the reformation were committing a mass apostasy from Catholicism. For the Reformation the apostasy was the basis of the...

    Should we pray?

    This question is due to people's view on praying about certain things. Should we pray and ask God for answers? And what are His limits for answers? Do all of His answers have to be able to be found in the Bible, even if the answer doesn't necessarily contradict the Bible?

    Do you believe in modern revelation?

    Before you answer the question you should keep in mind that an answer to a prayer is considered revelation.

    What's the difference between trinitarianism and atheism?

    Thinking about it, I don't see the difference. Atheists believe in nothing. Trinitarianism teaches God is supposedly immaterial, without body, parts, and form. The way I see it, something with no form is a nothing. I'm just curious about this. What is the difference in believing in nothing and...

    Why do you believe in the Bible?

    A common response toward the Book of Mormon is "there's no evidence" (there are plenty but I'm not going into that since specific evidences aren't what this thread is about). Here is my question: why do you believe in the Bible? Faith or evidence? If these evidences didn't exist would you still...

    How many of you have actually listened to Mormon missionaries?

    By this question I mean listen openly and not with the purpose of debating. When I knocked into people they would say "No thanks I've had your missionaries to stop by before." When we would ask "OK, so what do you remember from what they talked about" the usual answer was "Well we didn't let...

    Requirement to be Christian?

    What are your opinions on what makes a person a Christian? My opinion is this: a belief in the "trinity" doesn't necessarily make one a Christian. Not even believing in the Bible makes someone a Christian. To me a Christian is simply someone who believes in Jesus Christ. This means believing...

    3 in 1, 1 in 3 Trinity theory?

    I've always been able to understand the trinity theory albeit that's part of why I don't believe it. When I ask trinitarians about it the explanation they always give is "they're 3 in 1 with one substance." I get what is meant by the official declaration found in your creeds but I haven't met...

    What are your thoughts on Adam and Eve's decision to eat the fruit?

    While I've heard people say it was a bad thing, I'm grateful they did what they did. It was a good thing. If they hadn't we wouldn't be here. Adam and Eve would have remained in ignorant bliss forever. Because they would have never know what was bad they would have never known what was good...

    Why Would God Not Call Prophets Anymore?

    As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I am amazed that so many "Christians" claim we do not need a prophet or any revelation. It's claimed by traditional Christianity (not to be confused with Biblical Christianity) that the Bible has all the revelation we need and all...

    Who has read the Book of Mormon?

    When I ask this question I don't mean just flip through a few pages nor do I mean get an overview on it from others. Who has actually read it with an unbiased and open heart? Anyone who has truly read it would know it is true. Do you agree or disagree with these verses? No sidestepping like...

    "...[A]s God is, man may become."

    "As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become." I often see this quote from those who oppose The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The purpose for people quoting this is to -attempt- to discredit the church as a Christian church. Many Christians of today say this is not a...
