    Matthew 24:40-41 has me questioning my beliefs

    I'm Lutheran and I've always been of the persuasion that the rapture occurs on the last day when Christ returns and raises the dead. Matthew 24:40-41 has me questioning this. It doesn't seem to jive with my beliefs. For instance it says that "one will be left" which gives me the idea that...

    I've been praying that God would take me

    Enoch was taken by God. As many of you know I have really been struggling with my health and other things. I've been praying that God would take me like he did Enoch. I don't want to taste of death. Do you think it's possible to be taken by God? Is it wrong to pray for this? Matthew...

    Lately it has really been hitting me hard that I don't love God like I should. All I do is sit around worrying about my declining health. I'm so self centered. God is love and he sent his Son to die for us. He gives us eternal life. I should really love him tons in return. But I don't. I...

    Feed My Sheep

    Why did Jesus say "Feed My Sheep" three times to Peter? John 21:15-17 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again...

    LDS Why Do Mormons Build Temples?

    Mormonism claims to be the restoration of the early church and yet the early church did not build temples. Also, the NT refers to the body of Christ as the Temple. So why do Mormons believe we need Temples?

    LDS Did God get the name of the church wrong?

    Joseph Smith first named the church "The Church of Christ" then later renamed it "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". So why the name change? Did the prophet get it wrong? Did God make a mistake? If this is the one true church then how could it start out with the wrong name...
