I guess I do kinda believe in evolution after thinking about it a few day. I remembered a thing I thought to myself or maybe it was someone else speaking to me at the time about someone I was having a hard time forgetting. It was something like this. "Yes it's hard but let go of the beautiful dust." So yes, I guess in a way there has been some evolution.

Welcome

I have a hard time understanding how polygamy was abominable back in the time that this was written but acceptable none to long ago then back to abominable. Jacob 2:23-26 23 But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes. For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son. 24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord. 25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph. 26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old. ------------------------------------------- Alma 7:20 I perceive that it has been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round. ------------------------------------------ Evolution???

Hello and Welcome

What President Lincoln story? Oh and grats on the talk! Curious how ya tied Abe into the atonement cause he's my favorite pres.He was born on my birthday and strangly I hear I had family way back when that had the last name of Booth

Congrats to you and your wife Faded!!

Keep going with the site.Activity is key to any site.Sometimes they are hard to get going and even harder to get others involved.Yes many older persons will not use it or even attempt to clinging to superstition.Way back when people wouldn't eat potatoes cause they came from the ground and must be from the devil.Yes there is a ton of stuff that is bad on the net but its where you'll find those who might be seeking and open to communicating.Communication is key in almost any relationship and this is a fantastic method of doing that.It would be nice if a person of authority had a blog and used it frequently to speak to members around the world.With technology moving the way it is I'm pretty sure one day it will be used more and more.I remember almost 15 years ago when I started my first website there werent many using the net to preach.I stopped using my site cause I felt unworthy to speak of God going off my heart and without having read much.Nowadays everyones casting a net this way.Interesting nets and nets,Almost kinda revealing isn't it.I think so.There are good nets and bad nets.Make a good one and cast it out there.They take some work.I know I talked to myself for the longest time on mine but people started showing up eventually.They are an awesome tool if used correctly.This is one of the best I've seen for being open minded and maintaing its beliefs between even those who don't share the same beliefs. One day I hope to make another site if I'm ever worthy of it unless someone beats me to it. I've already got a theme picked out for the design but havent figured out exactly how I'm gonna do it yet.Don't really have time at the moment either since I'm retraining for a networking degree.If I get a chance tho I will model it after Revelation 15:2.Quite frankly this internet thing if ya look at it is a sea of glass mingled with fire,imo.There is no better way to communicae with the entire world at this time or each other.

Welcome

Welcome! You sound alot like my last gf except she hates computers tho so..... It sounds like you've come to a point where your realizing that somethings missing and your searching for it and in part your trying to repent of the things you've done cause in your heart you know it wasn't right.It's a step...I'm not a member yet either.Still taking baby steps.I'd jump but I have to be sure I've repented instead of just saying I have.I want to so badly.The world seems at times like it gives ya opportunities and that it's ok to do those things but eventually it breaks your heart. I remember some words from the BoM that struck me really hard and I try to remember them often.They just seem so true and I find them helpful. Alma 41 Happiness will eventually come tho Don't worry about your cloths. God looks at hearts and draws close to the broken hearted. It's hard at times to deal with ourselves but Keep taking those babysteps /hug

Genesis 1 Does say created throughout.Doesn't exactly say out of nothing. Raised outside of the church like some of us have been its easy to get this impression. Abraham 3 helps tho I Wonder what was before he organized the elements or whatever the smallest particle whether it seems to be nothing or not. They all obey him regardless.Rocks seem to us like rocks I suppose but sometimes they must be the greatest listeners. --------- According to what Joseph Smith said God whom we call Father has a body like us but glorified and he became this by going through a process similiar to what we are going through right? Jesus said he couldn't do anything but what he saw Father do right? Jesus also told Thomas that Father has many mansions and he was going to make one for him and asked him if he would come. Then Jesus told Thomas that he would do the same things he saw Jesus do and more than he saw him do even. So way in the future when these things take place and Thomas and possibly more of us get to do these things if found worthy. Who will do what in Thomas's mansion? What role would Thomas be playing at that time? And What roles would Jesus and Father have at this time? They would have a part in it I'm sure.Two would most likely openly in this example be known as God by all. The people would do just like we do understand what we can and ponder the rest till we learn the answer if were meant too,I suppose.The third one would be a mystery to many and hard to understand at times but still something acknowledged as somehow the same but different than the other two.A few other things said about this one that's pretty quiet at times.He testifies of the other two and doesn't speak of himself much and if you speak against him you can't be forgiven even tho many will say things against God and Jesus and be forgiven. Hmm.............. Yes.... I know I'm speculating....can't help it.Story problems It's kind of logical tho with the things that have been said. Anyways Just a thought....Go back to ignoring me :) Side note to this logic tho many of us are raised up ad have been told or told others to be careful about talking back or about our and others Mothers so thats worth mentioning too.... Had to get that off my chest for some reason. Been pondering it much the last few days. My apologies, Thanks for bearing with my rambling.I'm done for now, I think.

The sheople term may have not been the most politically correct term to use but I'm pretty sure what he meant by it was along these lines. That was from here Borrowed Light from the Scriptures (Article)

Being an almost convert it makes me wonder and it's about the only thing that does. How so many who have recieved the Holy Spirit or say they have, find so many ways to find fault and misinterpret what each other says and disagree so often.It's my understanding the Holy Spirit is supposed to teach or lead us into all truth.So if one has the Holy Spirit and it does work in them how can they falter and why so much disagreement? A problem with forums is that some come to judge and almost all at somepoint who offer their experiences or view will be judged. So who's right and who's wrong? Who's using the spirit and who isn't?Not really looking for answer to these but Does the GA tell you to rely on them or The Holy Spirit within you and are you using it? I believe I'll still join this church cause I believe in it tho it may take me awhile but Please remind me after I get baptised and before I get confirmed To ask for a double portion.

Sorry to burst this bubble but.....there goes that theory....for now. Be of good cheer tho we are proving scripture Your Type is: INFJ -The Protector Strength of the preferences % Introverted 44 Intuitive 38 Feeling 50 Judging 11 Only 11% Judging...I think this test is wrong. But since its better than what I expected I'll take it I guess. Ok maybe there is something to this They seek long-term, lifelong relationships, although they don't always find them.

You are asking Why did Christ have to die??? If that's the case....because he was THEE ONLY ONE who could pay the debt.When sin entered the world so did the penalty of death. He was sinless...perfect in heart and deed throughout his life.Nobody else could accomplish this because they all sinned and Christ was also a willing sacrifice.He had to do this to fulfill the law cause he was the only one whom never broke them so he couldn't be bound by the law. By doing so he could overcome death for all of us there by opening the way back to Heavenly Father. And through his sacrifice we can be forgiven our sins and overcome death also. In agency we are given a choice to accept or reject Jesus's sacrifice. If we accept him we must do the things he said. If not then we have used our agency to reject him and what he did. Hope that helps some.

Hi and Grats!

Hello

Hey! Nice sig

Welcome!

Slightly off topic but...might be some food for thought considering some things that have been said. Has anyone ever pondered what were going to do in that room that Jesus has made for us in the mansion of his Father? Since I can't ponder it, it must be better than a universe of my own right???

Welcome

Yes he did :) Now if we would all just start doing like he said and be like our Father following his example we'd probably be getting somewhere faster.
