  1. WELCOME TO EARTH. TODAY IN PRIMARY WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT NOAH AND THE FLOOD. The church does make a stand for the flood. And yes I made a mistake. Not 2,000BC. Christ was on the earth about 2,000 years ago. Next week in primary we will be going over the restoration of the church which consists of a living prophet. I am going back to lds.net. This Rlds.net site is not teaching me much.
  2. I am sorry, i thought that i was on lds.net, not rdls.net. I have to go study the new and old testament church manuals now. Wow. Just for the record it is very interesting that the time line starts after adam and eve got kicked out of the garden of eden, really??. That is a good one. Is this the time line that is taught in our old testament manual??. I will say to all, that the church has no standing on dinosaurs when, were etc. The church does have understanding that the flood was around 3,000 bc. And that christ was on this earth around 2,000 bc. And the record of the bible and mankind of all from adam and eve is around 4,000bc. I am now going to find lds.net.
  3. Well. I read it and, all i have to say is that in the book of mormon which is doctrine, and the bible which is doctrine have times and acounts of events with years associated with events, which i would say are considered time lines, which would be considered doctrine. Please read the scriptures for references. I will agree with the church manuals which have many time lines. Yes they might not be exact, but i will stick with them. They have been approved by our prophet for use for teaching purposes within the church.
  4. Have you read the scriptures??. If not, they are good things to read. They tend to have the truth and yes (years or time lines of events). I have never read anything in any scripures that reference dinosaurs. The thing i do know is that they did not get washed away during the flood because they were not on earth at that time. If they were than noah would of had to put a pair of them on his boat, and it probably would of sunk it. Nice talking with you.
  5. I do not care about when dinosaurs were here. The time line for basic teachings you do not belief??. Do you belief we are in the 2011 year???. We do have records confirming this. Christ walked this earth around 2000 years ago. We do have years stated in both the bible and the book of mormon which is doctrine. Time lines, doctrine. Bible records which is doctrine in the church.
  6. They might have been 100 million years ago or 50,000 years ago??. We do not know. We have carbon dating which is not exact, but gives an estimate. We do though have a rough time line of the existence of adam and eve. The time lines are taught in church manuals.
  7. Records and time lines??. I do not get it. This is an easy one. Lets agree to disagree on this one. Thanks for your comments. I had a couple of laughs.
  8. Welcome to earth. The church manuals and time lines are approved by our prophets and apostles. I guess your not a member of the church, my bad.
  9. This is taught as church doctrine in church manuals. Which are published by the church. Dates are approx. But reliable. Church doctrine.
  10. The earth was created a long long time ago. The dinosaurs were not around during adam and eve. We know threw scriptures that adam and eve were created in gods image around 4,000 years before Christ. The flood was about 3,000 years before christ. They say dinosaurs are 40,000-50,000 years ago. We do not have the answers to what was all on the earth from the beginning of its creation. Cave man, etc. We do now that :God created the earth first, then created man in his own image. But we do not know how much time existed between the creation of the world and man kind in his image.

  12. JUST REMEMBER TO PACE YOURSELF. THE MAIN THING IS THAT YOU READ EVERYDAY. I LIKE TO START FROM THE BOOK OF MORMON, AND READ ONE CHAPTER A DAY, AND THEN WHEN I AM DONE WITH THE BOOK OF MORMON, I READ ONE CHAPTER OF THE D&C, then the pearl of great price, etc. I also like to try to read one chapter starting from the new or old testament a day as well. Probably takes about 15-20 min max. If you do this you will be surprised how many times you go threw all the standard works. If you read 1 scripture or 1 chapter a day it does not matter. Whatever works for you, just do it everyday. Do not burn yourself out. Remember that it is not a race. I am proud of you. This will make a difference in your life, and your family.
  13. It sounds all fine and dandy. There are only a select few people that would even consider buying this. Think about the resale. You will have a hard time trying to get rid of it. Just my opinion.
  14. There is the first resurrection which will come forth before the millenium. All those who will be doing work in the millenium will have the same perfect resurrected bodies. Then the final war. Then the second resurrection. Then the judgement. Then we will be assigned to our kingdom. If you think of the "body of the priesthood", or group. The glories which will be assigned will be bodies of the celestial, bodies of terrestial, etc. As far as our personal bodies, they will all be perfect, even as our Father in Heaven is perfect.
  15. My wife read me a portion in a book called" everlasting life". A story in the book said: (this is not exact but pretty close). A young lady was going on her mission. For her farewell on sunday she asked her older sister to give a talk in sacrament meeting. Her sister(who was going to give the talk) before the meeting started, was sitting on the stand and looked back in the back of the chapel and there was a group of people standing in temple clothing. She recocognized them as deceased family members. Her deceased father came up to her and told her that he loved her, and that the talk that she was going to give was a good one. The older sister did not tell her sister about the visitors right away. Later in her mission her older sister told her. The sister missionary told her sister, that she prayed for each one of her deceased relatives to attend her farewell that sunday. What a wonderfull blessing. Good luck, and you will be surprised how many mormons are in vegas. The prophet is calling, and i am glad that their are valiant young men as yourself who are answering. God speed.
