  1. I am a convert to the church of 2 and 1/2 years. But I am still trying to bulid my testimony. I have had a recurring question. It is about the role of the Godhead in prayer. In my previous faith the Trinity was taught. So when I would pray I prayed to Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost because of this belief. Now that I know the LDS Church is true I am having a little trouble making sense of the Godheads role in prayer. I know we pray to Heavenly Father (this is what Christ taught us to do). The Holy Ghost can then guides us and let us know the truth of the answers,inspiration, etc we are given. That is only Two of the Godhead active in the prayer....right? I know we pray in the name of Jesus Christ but that does not mean he has an active role right? Any insite on this?
  2. Here is my 2 cents on it. Nephi saw the "Bible" or book from the mouth of the jews in the vision after Lehi saw the tree of life. Thus he knew that a book was to come that many would follow. I am sure since he was a Prophet the lord told him to write about the "Book" that gentiles would say was all the word of God. I believe the Plates did not say "Bible" but Joseph since he is a prophet himself knew that was the book referred to by the power of God was/is the Bible. Here we go again!! Another arguement like the one over the word: Adieu...OK, let me see if I can make this simple for you......The Book of Mormon is a TRANSLATION...not an original!!! The man who TRANSLATED it certainly knew the word "Bible"...so did G-d, Nephi was a prophet...he may or may not have understood exactly what he was saying about future attitudes, but he wrote what G-d told him to write and G-d told Joseph Smith what that symbles on the plates ment...in short, G-d knew what he was talking about and it certainly IS the truth! I came out of a Baptist church...we said this!! These passages touched me as I read them for the first time...I know G-d was speaking to me threw the prophets that I was wrong to assume that the Bible was the ONLY word of G-d...besides...the word "Bible" means: Books...(note the "s" at the end of that word) whoa calm down there was no arguement intented. I am LDS and know this is the word of God. I had come to that thought myself "The man who TRANSLATED it certainly knew the word "Bible" I was just asking other LDS members to see if what they thought is what I thought. Sorry!! didn't mean to get all "testy", just thought I was dealing with another "troll" It gets old, after a while!!! It ok I understand I should have been more detailed in my first post

  4. 2 Nephi 29:3 And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible. How did Nephi know the name Bible this was not a "book" at this time.
  5. Thats is I am walking in and shopping alise 10 , 6, 8 ,2 ,7,5,1 in that order. They can make me go in order
  6. OK I am going to go against the popular posts on this one. I don't think it is right to be so negative to someone for believing this is a issue to leave the Church over. I think some of you could have tired to be a little nice and helpful (Christ-like). This is a really bad reason to leave any Church but I think if Christ were in front of this person he would not make fun of beliefs. This may have been a serious question. not that it matters but I have 2 dogs and a cat
  7. I am going to be so confused when I meet "Moshe" for the first time I will try not to call him Moses .
  8. "nothing else matters" by Metalica (I know werid one but it reminds me of my wife)
  9. If you read the following: 4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 1 Corinthians 3:4-6 it looks sort of like it is saying that Paul and Apollos is one being kinda like 30 I and my Father are one. John 10:30
  10. What about for Christ? is there a reason to abbreviate his name?
  11. Isn't God a title and not a name?
  12. That is a awsome way to look at it Where did you find out that custom?
