Again another "gem" to ponder. Faith is a hard thing. To keep believing in something unseen. To have faith that Heavenly Father is looking and watching out for their best interests even when it is not tangible to see.

Yes, but also a Christian believes in what He has said and nothing that contradicts that. One must obey His words. Jesus clearly spoke that He is one with God, and that has only been One God at all times. Before He left earth, He said "baptize in the Name (singular) of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." How does one trust someone, if he doesn't believe what he says. Jesus is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. They are not three, but are all God. It is like time. Past, Present, and Future, is all part of one notion called Time. They are not different from each other, but are in themselves distinct. There are many examples of trinities on earth. Ice, Water, Gas is even another example, they are the same molecules just in different distinctions. I hope I making this clear, it is kind of hard to understand. My understanding of "being one with God" would be one in purpose. Just my two cents for what it is worth. I believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are three distinct separate entities. Not one but three.

Funny I was just reading a story about this cat.

I grew up in an area where I was a "minority." In that I am glad. I grew up with an understanding and a tolerance of people from many different ethnic/cultural backgrounds. Quite a diverse group of people. Perhaps that's why I now have a hugely immense dislike of ethnic slurs/jokes. One of my biggest loves is meeting and talking with people from other countries. Helps me to see that the world isn't as large as we think it is. Though the languages may be different/cultures may be different/faces may be different....there are so many similarities. You have to only look to see and appreciate.

I agree. She is totally adorable.
-
I was completely offended by this. If ever there was a racist/ethnic slur... this was it.

If you play the "word association" you can have another 100 posts in say....two days. lol

That was the most poetic paragraph about gum I've ever read! I particularly liked "flopping about uselessly" Elphaba And then of course you have the ones that snap it at every chew. Oblivious to the fact (or perhaps very much aware) that they are annoying the heck out of you. It's a pet peeve I have about gum chewers. Okay sorry those that do it. Just had to vent a little there

So nothing we do on earth....no service to others, nothing brings us salvation?
-
Okay so if I were to look at my future...why would I strive to live God's commandments and live my life the best I can...if I am already guilty of all commandments and can never possibly reach God's standards. Heavenly Father is not expecting us to be perfect. He knows we aren't. But we strive to do the best we can to live those commandments. We are human we are not God. That is what repentence is for. If I didn't know I have that wonderful thing there would be nothing to work towards at all. You are making it sound as if all of us are lost and there is no hope.
-
Do you not believe in repentence? And I for one have never been an adulterer thank you very much.
-
I apologize for asking you that question but I wanted to know where you were coming from. I like Yediyd feel it is both. We have the privilege of salvation through the atonement of Christ. However our acts, our faith, our service to others, our willingness to obey the Commandments of our Heavenly Father will bring us salvation.

What do you feel it is Clay?

Oh please....I have teenage boys and something like that would be nothing more than horseplay. Inappropriate of course but in no way deemed sexual. Especially if they were just running down the hall swatting behinds. Give me a break. Hey Brother Dorsey, I have been to McMinville many times. I have an aunt and many cousins that live there.
-
LOL!!!! Very astute observation! I thought I was the only person here who felt like this man has a fetish about all things sexual. In psychology one might ask why would you take notice of that? Maybe because it is quite obvious.
-
Okay now we want details. How did the wedding go? What were the hi-Lights? Where did you go on a honeymoon if any?
-
That is awesome Susie. Thanks for sharing.
-
Fiannen I knew if you added anything there would be SOMETHING about someone getting naked.
-
It didn't make me sad either. Actually I found it rather boring.
-
I agree with Yediyd. I too am truly sorry that you have had bad experiences. But I also agree with PC. I've met many Muslims who are wonderful people. Very law abiding, friendly, positive people. I also don't think that PC meant any insult to you personally in his comments. PC would never do that. Attack someone directly.
-
Why thank you. The feeling is very mutual.
-
I thought they were cute. When you think about it and the movies you see...it is so true.
-
Wise choice. haha

I thought these rang sooooo true. It is always possible to park directly outside any building you are visiting. -A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty. -If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps. -Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization. -It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors. -When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage. -No one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock. -Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite. -When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other. -You can always find a chainsaw when you need one. -Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds, unless it''''s the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside. -An electric fence, powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight-year-old child. -Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment you turn the television on.
