I don't get where you get the hate from, unless you are looking into the mirror of your own heart. I am sorry to hear about your wife, but why do you have to take out these frustrations on people who have nothing to do with it?I can only pray for your wife, the rest is up to you and the Lord. As for your daughter turning out like me?~ One can only hope and pray that she has that good of outcome.

I was totally amazed that I could read it. LOL I think it gives me a good idea of how dyslexics read.

Ray isn't at all arrogant. And you choosing to send yourself to a lower kingdom doesn't make anyone happy. But then you really aren't interested in making me or anyone else here happy are you?

Believing in God doesn't make me a rug to be walked on, nor does it allow me to watch you attack anyone else for things they are totally innocent of and not do anything or say anything.Where did you ever get the idea that being a Christian meant being a whimp who watched people be assaulted and just stand there with their thumb up their dum? Christ ridiculed the wicked and we are to follow his example as Christians. That is my excuse for pointing out your foibles. :)

You ask one of them to open the door then peek insidew when they do. That was one my dh came up with.

Is it selfhish to take care of oneself, or stewardship? Is it selfish to do those things which will make one happy instead of angry, sad, or depressed? Or is it just good stewardship? I think selfish is self consuming, while stewardship is taking good care and by so doing, benefitting more than self.

When I think of atonishing arogance, you and your attitudes comes to mind. Shocking that you think Ray is arogant.

Now if Christ is the "Stone", the "Sure Foundation", and he is the "Last" foundation, how can there be a new, restored foundation? Was the foundation laid by Christ not good enough? The foundation hasn't changed, just been restored ~ meaning the priesthood or Christ's power to rule on earth through men. RIGHTEOUS men.1 Cor. 3 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own areward according to his own labour. 9 For we are alabourers• together with God: ye are God’s bhusbandry•, ye are God’s building. 10 According to the agrace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other afoundation• can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

I guess what you are trying to say is:

If the guy tells the truth or the correct answer then you know he is guarding the door to heaven~ If the guy tells a lie or the wrong answer then you know he is guarding the door to hell and you don't want that door, you want the other one!

Thank you Ray and Curvette. I did read the scripture, (Thanks curvette) but couldn't discern the exact oath and covenant. Ray your explanation helped a bunch! Thanks! :)

Being sexually active with a member of the same sex is not something a person is born with. Surely you can admit that much. You might then contend that a person is born with the desire to have sex with a member of the same sex, but I would also disagree with that. To be honest, the most we could say is that the desire to have sex with someone of the same sex is a dormant desire that doesn’t develop until a person reaches the age of being sexually driven, but even then we are only talking about the DESIRE to have sex with someone of the same sex, and not the ACT of having sex with someone of the same sex. And in case you don’t realize it, there are only 2 sexes on this planet, which are male and female. I think our goal should be to do only those things that will benefit us, not to simply avoid those things that don’t hurt other people. From that perspective, I think we should all be able to acknowledge that we should rely only upon those people who know what will benefit us, and then acknowledge God as our ultimate source of that information. And frankly, I can’t see that it does any good for any person to gratify a desire to have sex with a member of the same sex. And please don’t come back to me with the idea that persons who engage in homosexual activity can still be honest, law abiding citizens, or that people who engage in homosexual activity can still give love to someone just as well as a person who engages in heterosexual activity, because I don’t have any argument with those ideas. What I am saying is that homosexual activity doesn’t do any good in and of itself. I agree. <!--QuoteBegin--TheProudDuck @ Feb 17 2005, 02:27 PMFirst, it's not my business to tell anyone he's going to hell, no matter whether I think what does is right or wrong. God makes that judgment, not me, and I will probably be surprised one way or another how things turn out. You're seeming to suggest that since most gay people probably won't abandon gay sex no matter what society says, we should just let the whole thing slide. If that's what you're saying, I disagree. The whole point of moral standards is that they call people to do what they wouldn't naturally do. Some will accept the standards, and some won't. That's their business. I pretty much agree with this, but I also believe that some people have the duty to declare Faith and Repentance to everyone who doesn’t know and seek to know God’s will so that they can make better decisions. In other words, people should not do only what they think is right, or what you think is right, or what I or anybody else thinks is right, but what God thinks is right, and to know that we all need to have a relationship with God wherein we can know what He thinks. Good post. :)

Thanks Estump and Curvette. You have helped me understand a lot more than I ever knew before. I drink a lot more milk than I should, but we always have bought 2% because we were poor. I guess it wasn't such a bad thing for our kids.

You are a rare gem Winnie. Wish there were more of you. :)

What is comical castration? Even with the worst of criminals, I don't think it would be comical... <span style=\'font-family:Geneva\'><span style=\'color:red\'>ROFL!</span>

The answer is: Ask a question you know the answer to. Then if the guy lies, you know it. If he tells the truth, you know it. Sample question: How much is 2+2? Or what is my name? Stuff like that. If one has to lie and the other has to tell the truth, you will know right a way which is which. :)

I need to know what the oath and covenant of the Priesthood is and where it is found in the scriptures.

Our hearts. They will be what condemns or exalts us.

Bravo Lindy! BTW this is the first I have heard of practicing purverted sex and practicing cathollism being in the same catagory. LOL

Thought this would go over well on this thread: The Squirrels ============= Three churches in town were overrun with squirrels. After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. Who were they to interfere with God's will? They did nothing, and the squirrels multiplied. The elders of the second church, deciding that they could not harm any of God's creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and then set them free outside of town. Three days later the squirrels were back. It was only the third church that succeeded in keeping the squirrels away. The elders of this church simply baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now, they only see the squirrels on Christmas and Easter.

Yeah I know what you mean. I didn't get either one right, I had to ask.

Sorry. But you did get the 2nd one right!

Riddle 1: You die, you are in a hallway... you see two doors, one on each side of the hallway, with a man in front of each door.... One door leads to heaven and one door leads to hell... One man can only tell lies and one man tells only the truth.... You can only ask one of the menn one question..... Whats your question? Riddle 2: What is greater than God, Worse than the Devil, A rich man needs, A poor man has, and if you eat you will die....?? What is it?

heterals started having sex with the same sex long before gays did? H Well that makes more sense.
