  1. I find it quite obvious that he is married. - Is he our perfect example? - Is he divine? - Most importantly: Is he exalted? What i'm thinking is, can you be an exalted divine being without being married?
  2. I have been wondering about this. some time ago i got told that the people who wasn't born in the covenant (non-jews) would be described as heathens, that someone who is adopted into the covenant would be a heathen. Can someone clarify this for me?
  3. I was thinking... - Is it okay to look at a girl? (casual or because you think she's cute) - Is it okay to look at a girl in a porn magazine? (even if you just think they're cute) Then ask yourself why and think about if it's the same situation. - Is it okay to eat/drink vanilla essence? - Is it okay to drink vodka/beer/something else? Then ask yourself why. Remember, God didn't command us certain things just for fun, it's to protect us and increase our potential. I don't believe that he would command us something unnecessary, and if it's not in the scriptures, think rational. If vanilla essence or something else is not written in the scriptures or in the spoken word, think about if you know it's bad for you and pray if it's not that easy
  4. Thanks folks. I think i have an idea now how it works
  5. I haven't got my endowment yet and i want to make sure when it's even possible (I know about the worthiness and such). Some missionary pair told me i need to be a member for at least a year, my first bishop told me i needed to be 24 and my currently bishop tells me that i need to go for a mission or preparing a marriage before you can get your endowment so well... i'm i'm very confused in this case. Can someone please answer this question for me?
  6. My first thought was also the symbol of the compass and square. But then again, we are used to these symbols and can sometimes see them where they don't belong. these could mean anything or nothing (perhaps it's just a wife's furniture madness)
  7. As a danish person you would think that i would eat lots of Royal Dansk Danish butter cookies but actually i can't remember when i ate it last time the biggest sinner here is GRAVY! We make it almost every day
  8. Challenges related to something that can falter my faith: Absolutely nothing! I know what i went into and i love it! Challenges related to practicing my faith: Enduring to the end can be quite challenging some times, especially when we live with peoples with other standards. Challenges related to when i confront others with my faith: Well, some atheists (mostly them) have a really hard time not being extremely literally (no, we don't believe that we should eat God or that there will actually appear big monsters with many horns and heads!)
  9. We have the Bible too. It's awesome! Oh... i only knew we had an open canon. Conflicting scriptures are not welcome... Yea, i hate language errors too. Luckily, we have lots of bible versions today to use! But... it's still readable? don't diss The Bible, it's unreplaceable... Well, you can't blame those guys who made errors. The Bible is not God himself and therefore not perfect. The gospel is not of Works neither of Grace, it's about both. Faith without Works is dead, you know? I prefer one true God than plural Gods. Exatly! that's why I like those verses! And that's exatly what God is! Nah, i think he would say "Good job guys!" Yea, we also talk about that. We should be careful, there's lots false prophets out there. And that's why we should be careful not to be led astray. Many people wants us out from christianity, and it won't be pretty out there. A discussion doesn't need to lead to strifes, it's what you want it to be. And you're welcome. We need to be like Christ and show the attributes of the Prince of Peace. God bless you too. God loves all people even if they don't deserve it. Remember, even the smallest can be great in God's eyes. If you want to know more about us, visit Mormon.org.
  10. I have to disagree with you, doss. No "big bangers" believes in ex nihilo, hence i got almost slapped because i accidently told a science nerd that they believe that the universe was created out of nothing. According to scientists, the universe started from already existing matter that collided and started the big bang. Some new discoveries even gives scientists a hint that there maybe was a universe before this universe as they speculated about in years
  11. From i have understood about the topic, there was never a revelation that made it clear if blacks should recieve the priesthood or not wich made me think about what reason there could be to being revelated as late as 1978? Why not sooner?
  12. Well, i have no idea, just thought it sound familiar to the sign of the birth of christ, so it got my attention :) and i remembered that i thought of something related to the sign of the birth in the second coming... just can't remember what it was
  13. Who "they" are? i believe it would be astronomers From i can see from a google search, astronomers observe hundreds of supernovas each year, some say about 500 :) But then again, that wasn't what the question was about
  14. Well, it seems that they have observed supernovas many times before, so they propably knows how it reacts before it happens :)
  15. I just found this on the internet. It's about the earth getting two suns in 2012. Jorden får to sole i 2012 - Â GoWild News - FÃ¥ overblikket over dagens vildeste nyheder translated part: "It's one of the most bright stars on the sky, Betelgues, that's about to lose mass, wich could indicate that it's about to "collapse", wich again could mean that the star is a "supernova". When that happens, the earth will get two suns on the sky. at least in some weeks, tells Brad Carter. And possibly there won't be night in a period" Sounds alot like when Christ was born to me, and i have something in my mind telling me that there was some relation to that sign and the second coming. Then again, i could be wrong. What do you think/know about this?
  16. ok, this is last time or else i will be too emberassed. it's mark 16:16 where he says: 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. It's "o pisteusaV kai baptisqeiV swqhsetai o de apisthsaV katakriqhsetai" in textus receptus, byzantine majority, latin vulgate ect.
  17. ... i' try again: its where he says: 15 He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. ( it must be mark 16:16)
  18. Hi there. I didn't know where i should belong so i just put it in here (then you can move it somewhere else if it doesn't belong here) Well, i have a buddy in school and he seems to be very confused with the whole thing about baptism and its importance. no wonder when our bible translation is... just bad. I don't know what they were thinking and there's only this one besides the modern versions wich is even badder compared to others (they are easily misunderstanded because of words that can mean many different things) So i decided to show him some scriptures in different languages directly translated, it should help a lot with the understanding :) The last one i want to show is the greek version. I got an idea how it should be written but i want to be absolutely sure before i'm going further, so if anybody is able to help, it would be great! The text is Mark. 3:16, o pisteusaV kai baptisqeiV swqhsetai o de apisthsaV katakriqhsetai Durante Angelo.
