  1. So when the spirit testifies to something that is wrong, evil, contentious, what is the appropiate way to heed the spirit's message? M.
  2. Would it be fair to say that YOU thought he was rude during the class but didn't mind talking to him privately? M.
  3. These two statements seem like contradictions. How could every time he spoke you felt the spirit leave violently but at the same time his words were fascinating to you? Please explain this? M.
  4. That's true, steak and lasagna are unusual for breakfast, but I've tried pizza and chinese food for breakfast and they are just as good in the morning as they are later in the day. But you're correct, your typical heavier dinner foods are not common for breakfast. M.
  5. Any kind of "social culture" CAN be changed, and should be; especially if it is not helpful. M.
  6. And vice versa - breakfast foods CAN be eaten at dinner. 😊 M.
  7. I am coming late to this discussion.... Seriously, you think that people who have chosen to adopt are not capable of nurturing their children? You actually believe that all biological parents are good parents; that no biological parent has ever been abusive to their children. Really? M.
  8. Check with your hotel, some make exceptions with check-in times. M.
  9. Then why did you spend the time commenting on my post? Explain what you mean by "random street person", since you seem to be accusing @MarginOfError of being that when he is a tithe paying member like yourself. M.
  10. But members of the Church who pay tithing are not random street people. M.
  11. All English speaking Canadians spell it the correct way. M.
  12. Here's your ✔. If you want currency from a Canadian you need to spell it correctly. 😊 M.
  13. Oh my goodness, like you mentioned above, you haven't been here in awhile and we haven't seen your name in awhile. Welcome back @CrimsonKairos! M.
  14. My granddaughter likes Nightmare before Christmas but she calls it "This is Halloween" because of the song. She got a "Jack" doll for her birthday. M.
  15. What if they thought well of you? Could they still go rot? M.
  16. I'm not sure who these "other Faiths" are but Catholics and Protestants see Christ as the Son. He is NOT the Father or Holy Spirit. He is the Son and he is God. M.
  17. Hey @Harrison, I understand that it can be difficult to wrap your mind around a belief that is not what you've been taught. In the Trinity God is ONE and therefore cannot be divided. One is one. The three persons are not parts of God, they are God. God cannot be divided into parts because God is One. Each person of the Trinity are distinct from each other and have relationships with each other. That is why the Father is the Father and is NEVER the Son or Holy Spirit. The same goes for the Son, he is the Son and NEVER the Father or Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit and NEVER the Father or Son. There is only one Divine essence (being) which we call God. Since the persons of the Trinity are individually and collectively God, we can claim that Jesus is God or that the Father and Holy Spirit are God. I hope I've explained it a little better. It's important to understand that there is only One God. M.
  18. There is ONE God, who is divine. His essence is his divinity. God has always existed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Therefore the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God. The three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct from each other, meaning the Father is the Father and never the Son or Holy Spirit, the Son is the Son and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit. They are individually and collectively God. They are the ONE and ONLY God. M.
  19. There is no problem at all. Each person of the Trinity is God. Each person is distinct from the other. They are one divine God, they are Creator, Saviour and Comforter. M.

  21. I looked to see if anyone had mentioned this video yet and it looks like this is the first one. About once a year the Missionaries will give my husband and me a call to make an appt for a visit. We tell them they are welcome to come over for a visit but we let them know a head of time on where we stand with the Church and our beliefs or non-beliefs. They say they will come over but never do. About 2 weeks they called to say they would like to visit and they ACTUALLY CAME OVER. There were 3 Missionaries, one from Utah, one from South Carolina and the 3rd one from Calgary. 🤔 The "Calgarian" was still waiting for his Visa to come through so he could serve in Australia. We did a little bit of "religion" talking, but also talked about guitars (playing musical unstruments in general), paintball and where we traveled to because of paintball. I even mentioned this forum and how there are nice people on this forum and also "not nice" people on this forum. 😉 We covered a few subjects while they visited and they were wonderful young men. Just when they were leaving they mentioned this video. It's all in Aramaic with no subtitles. It's a wonderful video. Enjoy. M.
