  1. I was definately in the same shoes as you after I got baptized in the church. I thought that celibate life was just as noble, if not more, than married life in the eyes of God. Thankfully though, through the Spirit of Revelation, I came to realize the error in my belief, that my belief of life long celibacy was not inline with Heavenly Father's will for my life. I found a great thread for you to check out: http://www.lds.net/forums/scripture-study-forum/29659-matthew-19-12-a.html
  2. Hey guys I'm having a chat with my friend on another forum about the restored gospel. There are two issues I'm trying to explain to him and I'm hoping you guys can help (we have a religous debate going on at another forum, here is the link Religious Discussion Thread - Page 15 - 2K Sports Forums: 1) When the beloved John bowed at the feet of an angel in Revelation the angel admonished him not to do so. Yet my friend insists that it was Jesus that John bowed down to and that Jesus himself told John not to do so, but to only bow and worship at the feet of His Father. My friend says that you only worship God the Father and never Jesus Christ. Here are the scriptures: Rev. 19: 10 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev. 22: 8 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 2) My friend insists that in order to be an apostle you must have been witness to Christ baptism, and that there are can be no other apostles other than the original twelve because there names are written upon stones. Here is exactly what he said to me: I appreciate your help fellas.
