Hey Carl62 ill be happy to answer your questions the best i can. About asking Christ to be your savor and Lord. Lest start with Phillipians 2:9-11 : Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. The word "Lord" comes from the Greek word kurios which means superoir aurthority, God and master. So one day all will confess that Christ is God. We both can agree with Christ's death upon the cross he broke that barrier of sin and made a way for us to be right with Him. We know that salvation only comes from God. lets read Romans 9:5 and Christ himself was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. What does this verse have to do with salvation you may ask. Well once again lest read a bit more of scripture. This time from Pslam 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation. As for the etnerall suffering in hell. No iy wont happen because the Bible tells us diffrently. In Revelation 21:4 it says He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. So hell cannont exist for it is these things. I know its hard to grasp people in hell but remember God did give them a choice and on that day they are judged and they are sent to hell, thats God's desicon not ours who are we to question Him.

this song will make you ask yourself who is the Chirst that I follow?

Hello my dear brothers and sisters in the faith, today i will like to share with you a few lines of scipture. In which I truly feel the LOrd blessed me with to finally put to rest a concern of mine. This concern was that the Bible contridictes the Book of Morom and vise versa. Well today something told me to read the book of Amos and here is what i read first Amos Chapter 8 vesres 11-14 11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. 12 Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it. 13 "In that day "the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst. 14 They who swear by the shame of Samaria, or say, 'As surely as your god lives, O Dan,' or, 'As surely as the god of Beersheba lives'— they will fall, never to rise again." Now Amos recived this messasge in his first vision. To me it procliamed very clearly the Lord said there will be a time when the church and his gospel will fall away from mankind. (As we know it did ), As well he will stop using his prophets to speak to his people. So as i looked at these verses i thought of all i have learned to this day since joining the church and bam it hit me wow i can finally say i have proof that the bible even declares what we know to be the truth. Then continued to read and these next verses nearly sent me to my knees in pryaer. Amos Chapter 9 verses 13-15 13 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. 14 I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God I could not believe what i just raid the lord just said I will restore it once more . As i read this i thought of the Saints who took the long journey from the start of the church untill now and untill our Lord and Savior returns for us. I just felt i should just share these lines of scriptures for whom ever may be in need of reassurance of your Faith. I bear my testimony that the Church is the Lords Church and all doctrine we are taught is true. I belive the heavens are open and i procliam proudly and happily we have a prophet who can lead us in the Lords way. I say all these things in the sacred and most Holy name of Jesus Christ Amen.

was the portait of his face and nothing more

This last sunday i was at church and i saw a picture of Christ on the wall. I started to ask myself how can a man who lived in the desert and walked miles and miles everyday look this cacuasian it made no sense to me at all. I had asked an elder about this and he gave no real response so i asked the bishop and he told me to look at again with my heart and asked what i saw. What i had told him completley offended him. I said when i picture my savior on that cross he doesnt have long hair (Paul worte that it is offensive to have long hair) i see a dark skinned man who was mutliaited beyond sight. I said the picture in the chrch looked like a guy from a head shop. I know that we dont know what christ ever really looked like but i do try and use common sense with this subject. He just told me hes not too sure what to tell me and walked off. Some missionaries and I started to talka bout Judas and what i had told them made them call me weak in my faith. Now i have been reading the bible for some time now and I just dont see an evil man. I just see a man who gave into temptaion and finally decided to take his life for his actions. I told these elders this and they fought and aurgued with me about how he worked for the devil and was possed. Now if you read from Mark to mathhew its weird how it can just say he gave him to the romans to how he was possed by Lucifier himself. I asked these missionaries if they ever gave into money before the lord they had told me yes they have and i asked them a question which brought my session with them to an end I had told them this : "So since you put money and greed b4 the Lord isnt that the same thing judas did now why arent u posssed by satan. THey gave me no real answers and said they had some other meeting to go to. My question for who ever may be reading this is this. Why am i not seeing and beliving what everyone else seems to in my church. I belive J.Smith restored the gospel and i belive all scriptures and the church are true so why am i being treated like an outcast amongst the people who brought me into the faith? Just beacuse i belive god has revealed a few truths ot me im not pushing on people just when im asked so why do they treat me like this
