Basically it comes down to what God says to that person. For only God can judge all aspects of the thing correctly. However, as the law before God stands....a woman who initiate a divorce on this earth.....may or may not be given a Spiritual divorce by God. And if she remarries without receiving a Spiritual divorce...She does live in a adultery relationship. Both the man and the woman in their marriage are to overcome all obstacles by faith. Not say...I give so let us start anew with another wife or husband. God has clearly said....What God has joined let no man put asunder. Not even a Pastor, Priest or a judge of the land has this power to put asunder what God has joined. Their decree are only valid over the flesh. We are to forgive our spouse if we are expected ourselves to be forgiven by the Lord for our breaches of the Marital Covenant we have with Him. By as much as we forgive so shall we be forgiven by God. And he who forgives much shall have much be forgiven by God. So who is justified before God in divorcing their Spouse? Very very few. Also putting away one's wife is not a Divorce. Now if a woman does divorce a man without just cause by the law of men....even though God has not given that man a Spiritual divorce...He can allow that man to marry another woman..for in history God has allowed some men to have more than one wife. Whenever God has given permission. ----------------------------- Because of the high rate of divorces and re-marriage. I tell you the truth..today...we are an Adulterous Generation both in the flesh and Spiritually. In the millennium everyone shall be taught Hope, Faith and unconditional Love and there shall be no divorces. Peace be unto you bert10

Renting houses and land is not usury. IF we do it correctly one can save money or if one is renting a farm...even earn money. Anciently people did work farms for a fee. However we must do so at a fair price. Which is not according to the market value. When we do this...we enable our Brothers to save enough money to one day own their homes. Or even earn a decent living also to save up by working a farm until he can one day own one if that is his dream. The rich are not interested in people having freedom from debts. In the movie "It's a wonderful life"...we have a fine example about unrestrained greed in a "free" Capitalist system. USURY charged today is at Compound interest. "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world" Thomas Jefferson said: ... No wonder that usury is called nashak or the bite of a serpent in the Bible. ... The world economic problems at this time are due to the breaking of the Sabbath because of Greed and Usury. Peace be unto you bert10

Demons live in darkness. Learn to fill you heart with Light and soon your demon shall become so uncomfortable that He shall leave. there are two things you should know.... 1. Matthew 6:22 - The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Matthew 6:23 - But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Let your eye [eyes, ears, mind and heart] be centered on all that is good from this day forth. If you do and fall back into your old ways...your condition shall be seven times worse See the verses below. ------------------ Matthew 12:43 - When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Matthew 12:44 - Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Matthew 12:45 - Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Peace be unto you bert10

Hi Bytor 2112 The Goal is to learn to make everyday Sunday...which means Holy. Peace be unto you bert10

Well money was introduced to the world by Satan. And it is used to control and enslave our brothers. In the old days they needed a whole bunch of enforcers to make men do the will of the rulers and the rich. Now we do it willingly ourselves when we buy houses and expensive cars. The lifestyle of the Rich and the powerful comes from blood sweat and tears of those who are made to pay interest rate just for owning a home a car etc. This society shall be destroyed by GOD. In the kingdom of GOD there shall be no more money that is used to enslave and give value to the worth of a man. So today we judge a man good by his wealth and the poor and homeless are called bums and losers. I no longer own anything that earns interest except the little bit that is necessary in the bank account in order to function in Babylon. I made this decision before the market crashed. Peace be unto you bert10

Until the underlying cause or root cause of her spending is addressed...you will not be able to do anything in her case. Buying urges could be due "Control issues in her life" Or due to validation and self worth problems. This is an example of Conditional Love. The advice I mostly give...is how to deal with Oneself. Because that is the only thing we can exercise any type of real control over. As for her bills...the only thing you can do is make her aware she is responsible for her debts. Once she loses her credit cards the problem is in part solved... You are not alone...Until she realizes that she has a problem...there is not much you can do. The only thing you can do is to not let any of this to separate you from the Pure Love of Christ. Peace be unto you bert10

Hi ....Hindus who marry as strangers have a greater marital success rate than LDS. Why is that? I do not think....You have not understood the post above. The way of perfection is already before you and it is call the Pure Love of Christ. It is also called "Unconditional Love." Many Hindus live "Unconditional Love" at least in part. Each Spouse even though many times do not know each other...have decided in their hearts to love their spouse no matter what their faults are. And so their love grow stronger each day. Try it and see if my post above is true or not. Peace be unto you bert10

Hi Momoof2girs The Advice I normally give is about "Unconditional Love" and how to receive Counseling from God...For His Name is also Counsellor. You are in a great place at this moment. Because before "Unconditional Love" can come into your your heart "Conditional Love" with all its fears must die. And it looks that is what is happening to you at this time. Again Conditional Love brings with it fears and torments. And to have torments is also to be in hell. 1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. You are frustrated with your husband because your will is being thwarted. Conditional Love means I will love you if you fulfill my conditions. And sooner or later the conditions upon which we have decided to give our love shall change. So we perceive a loss which we attribute to our spouse. Well this post is not about all the manifestations of Conditional Love which God has called "Darkness" and with this type of Love fears is also the result of it. ------------------------------------ "Unconditional Love" - Is at first An ACT of Will They say one becomes what one eat. Well guess what? Proverbs 23:7 - For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. "Unconditional Love" is also called the Pure Love of Christ it is the tree of Eternal Life in Nephi. It is the fruit most sweet. Now understand that "Unconditional Love" is also called "Charity" and taught as such by the Apostles in the NT. With this Love one, shall come understand all things and also gain the ability to forgive, to have mercy and compassion. Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Ephesians 3:19 - And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. With this love....your happiness and joy is not dependent on what others do for you. The more of this Love that you give out...the more the Lord will fill your heat with it. The process begins only when one first decide to live this law. With this love....Patience shall come into your life....as well as the core of the law..which is mercy, compassion and forgiveness. The more you give it the greater shall be your joy and happiness. And all of your frustrations shall disappear. The next greatest thing a person can do...is realize that God is there..and to praise and thank God for all things. For example if your husband refuses to do the dishes...than turn this into a positive by praising and thanking God for his lack of caring. Do this for every thing in the world that is bothering you. Also remember a legal divorce is not a Spiritual divorce for only God can grant such a thing. If you do the above...you will begin to find Joy and happiness regardless of where you are or whom you are with. The most wonderful thing shall begin to happen as you let your heart to eventually become a river of living of waters. To "Overcome" the world is to become a Living fountain. This is what God wishes to have in these last days so that they can teach others on how to bring the power of God in their lives to wipe away their tears. Revelation 7:17 - For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Peace be unto you bert10

There is a lot of hope here so take a breath and consider the following.... First of all ....the degree of any sin is based on "knowledge of the will of God" Jesus said....He that did things worthy of many stripes and did not know the will of the Father...shall receive few. The Book of Mormon contains many things of height and depth of the forgiveness of God read how it was possible even for the Lamanites to be baptized after the cruel things they did to the Nephites. Are you even less worthy than a Lamanite? And He also said....Because ye say "we see" sin remaineth. John 9:41 - Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. --------------------------------------- What are Sons of Perdition. A Son of perdition is a person who will not repent or cannot be brought to Repentance. It is in short to reject light after knowing it. And spiritually the word "Knowing" something means...."tasting" or "Experiencing" There is an example of this in Hebrews 6:4-6 Hebrews 6:4 - For it is impossible for those who were once (1) enlightened, and (2) have tasted of the heavenly gift, and (3) were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Hebrews 6:5 (4) And have tasted the good word of God, and (5) the powers of the world to come, Hebrews 6:6 - If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame. Now not all dreams come from God. Wait for confirmation. If you are able to be renewed unto repentance then you are not a candidate son/daughter of perdition. As for the Celestial Kingdom remember women in the bible who were not of the House of Israel and still received from GOD great blessings. Ie. Ruth: the Widow Elijah was sent to: the Cananite woman in Jesus day. Now from the BOOk of Mormon...remember the admonition below is given to a Son of the church one who has already been given the law.... not to a Lamanite...who did not know the law....and also couple these words of Jesus...who said it is the Children of the kingdom that go into the outer darkness. Even so ALMA DOES NOT TAKE HOPE AWAY. Alma 39:5 - Know ye not, my son, that these things are an abomination in the sight of the Lord; yea, most abominable above all sins save it be the shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost? Alma 39:6 - For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable; yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God, it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness; yea, I say unto you, my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness. So as the Lord would Say "be of GOOD CHEER". "Even in repentance be of Good cheer". By making your temple cheery...Light will come into it...and the Spirits of depressions and errors shall move out. Peace be unto you bert10

H! Whoknowswhat. What is good for you is not necessarily good for everyone else. God always timed the information....even commanded on it. To not give meat to children. And if one gives our spouse something that they cannot deal with at the moment we will cause more harm than Good. confession...is to GOD first and the rest will take care of itself as we allow God to prepare the spouse to handle it. Remember the husband is the head of his family. It is also the man who shall receives the revelations for his family. Peace be unto you bert10

Hi and Yes I have been there. The Philosophies of the world cannot solve your problem since they cannot show man how to Live "Unconditional Love" and how to bring the power of God in their lives. What you need is to learn to "Love Unconditionally" and to bring down the power of God to act in your life. "Unconditional Love" "Unconditional Love" is a powerful force for good. It does not force, nor compel, does not need anything in return...They who have this love Learn to Give it regardless of what our spouse does. The more we give this love out, the more God refills it in our heart. Learn to BECOME A FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATERS. The three roles of man in marriages is <> 1. Is responsible and accountable to God...To support and protect the family physically. <> 2. Is responsible and accountable to God...To teach his family Spiritually [as much as they will allow him] <> 3. Is responsible and accountable to God...for his family happiness. In these three things you have no choice.They are the man's primary responsibility before God for his family. So your wife want space...well give it to her in a sense...Start doing things for her without expecting anything back. If you think on it there are a lot of thing you can do. Remember...Love, mercy and forgiveness are part of Unconditional Love [Charity] and do not forget to thank GOD and praise GOD that your wife wants space from you. Do this everytime you think of it. It will prevent you from Concentrating on what is negative and make it a positive thing before God. Instead of sending sorrows to your heart and heaven...... you are making it a prayer and learning to leap for Joy because of it. Read Chapter 6 of Luke for a better idea of when to leap for joy. As you learn to live Unconditional Love which was also taught as charity in the scriptures...you shall overcome, anger and all the other negatives feelings and hurts that comes when a breakup is about to occur. <> "Unconditional Love [Charity] is greather than Hope and faith". <> As things progress God shall begin to act in a positive manner in your life. You will begin to understand many things that you had not before. You also hold Spiritual authority over your wife and children. This has to be use righteously. For example you should not bless anything she does that will cause you to separate...such as a job in another city etc.You can ask God to begin to withold the Blessings that flows thru you to the family in certain circumstances. You can only win your wife back with Love, without using any force of any kind or anything that will compel.....using patience, mercy, forgiveness and doing good to her and helping her whenever she wants you to do. You can help her in things..but you do not have to bless what she does. If you follow the praising and thanking part each time you think about a negative thing...it will bring the power of God in your life and who knows where it will lead. This praising and thanking God in all things allows GOD to do what He knows is right and not what we think is right. Peace be unto you bert10

One can turn this around...if one can afford it...He will donate his entire earning of that day to the poor. There are no laws against doing Good on the Sabbath. Peace be unto you bert10

Christ is your Shepherd and Helper. All PTSD are about events that happened in the past which are spiritual shocks which eventually manifest itself later on. The time between the event and the manifestations varies. At the base of all PTSD is fears and lack of understanding and forgiveness and mercy [either for oneself or others or both]. One could say that it is a shock to the Love of GOD within us. Light of Christ is Love and it is the great healer. God can take anything and make it work for our good even awfull past events. As God works within us...these past events will in time be seen even as blessings that will give us a Unique perspective on Life that few others have. In our lifetime....All of us will have traumatic shocks that will be a blow to the Spirit/Love of God within us. Each one of us with our different life experiences can come together in teaching each other, helping each other and overcoming the world for all of our good. The events of ptsd are in the past and so does the cure lies in the past and not with dealing of the symtoms only. Peace be unto you bert10

Live what you know to be true. That is the best thing you can do. It is impossible for a person to learn about Christ without learning anything about "Unconditional Love" which is also called the "pure love of Christ". This love does not compel nor force others to believe as we do...It is patience, understanding others and their wants and needs. It is able to forgive all things,,,being merciful etc. Unconditional Love is given regardless of what our Spouse does or say. In our core....everyone wants to be loved and accepted unconditionally for who we are. Once this happens the person who feels this from their spouse shall begin to lose all fears at least regarding their spouse. When we give "Unconditional Love" first we are never without love for God returns it to us as fast as we can give it out. Though you are responsible for the Spiritual welfare of your family..there is little you can do until you yourself find that testimony and begin to hear God in your heart. Peace be unto you bert10

Labels serves to both....to divide into groups and to bind those in that group. And it's how we use Labels....that determines if it is wicked or not. Peace be unto you bert10

It would depend when you shall resurrect. If it is before the second coming or after the second coming or in the Millennium or just at the end before the resurrection of the unjust. Those who are resurrected or translated into heaven before the Lord sets up here on the earth...shall most likely go into that Holy city in heaven called Zion. For no man receives the fullness of their goodness nor for that matter the fullness of their wickedness until that last day of the plan of Salvation. There shall Be two holy cities in the Millennium..Zion and New Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:3 - And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Peace be unto you bert10

I hope you haven't told her yet. The timing of Information is critical - as Critical as the action. Imagine if Jesus at the first day of Ministry had said....Hey everyone I am God!. First use your hurt conscience to learn about "Unconditional Love" and then Live it with your wife and others. With unconditional love....you will learn..... 1. To have patience that you never thought that you had with your spouse. 2. To Cease to criticize your spouse. It won't matter if your spouse fails in anything. Instead you will learn to advise and teach without coercion or force, but in gentleness, patience and forgiveness. 3. To forgive all the time. It is amazing how easily forgiveness can be given... 4. To not judge the person. 5. In the end it will banish all fears. With "Unconditional Love" it does not mean that we do not express disappointments or wants and needs and desires to our spouse. It means that we can understand our Spouse point of view and their failures to meet any part of our expectations. "Unconditional Love" does not "compel" nor "condones any type of Forces to be applied" Because we shall always have the Love of GOD in our heart and the fruits of this love is in our expression of patience, understanding our spouse from her point of view, also forgiveness, mercy are always present with us. By these fruits one may know who has come unto Christ....Again the complete acceptance of our Spouse which is part of "Unconditional Love" - who amongst us do not wish to be completely accepted warts and all by our Spouse just as we are? Who but the most hardened of hearts can leave such a person who has been expressing this type of love in a marriage? Once you are able to live this love with the timing of GOD you can tell her. In any case....It will be extremely hard for her to leave you if you had been living "Unconditional Love" with her for a while. With "Unconditional Love" that last things that shall leave you is your fears. For fears cannot exist with this love. And if she does leave you, after you have shown her this "type of Love" then it shall fall on her head....a person who has learned "Unconditional Love" is then able to receives it at the hands of GOD that person is never again alone or in fears. Peace be unto you bert10

Actually four great rivers are mentioned. NAming a River Tigris and Euprhrates does not mean that was their original names. It also does not mean that there were not any more rivers named Tigris or Euprates. Nothing says that after most of the children of Adam and Eve became wicked that Adam and Eve did not go away to a new land which was the middle East. Just remember we do not have the whole Story of what happened. God only allowed Moses to give us what was important spiritually to know... and had God allowed men to know that the Garden of Eden was located in the promised land [America]...we would have had an invasion of nations here in these lands before the time was right. St Brendan the Navigator in the 7th century....once prayed and fasted to have his wish of seeing the promised land before He died. One day a Holy man came and told him that his request had been granted and was shown how he should build his boat to survive the journey. The promised land led him to America. Peace be unto you bert10

You learn how to live with yourself by knowing that all individual weaknesses are given to us by GOD for our good. There is no accident or luck of the draw. All our lives are carefully thought out by GOD. The path we choose can be very rocky full of thorns and thistles or it can be a path where one is given rest, water and food and prepared for the next life experience. Once you understand this...you can begin to be healed. For the gospel of GOD is a healing GOSPEL- yea A GOSPEL OF OVERCOMING even the WORLD itself. [all things] With Unconditional Love all things are possible. It can remove even the mountains that are before us in our life. Conditional Love versus Unconditional Love. Unconditional Love crosses over genders, races. Just as GOD loves us all, we also can learn to love all for who they are. The Love of GOD coupled with simple companionship can be extremely fulfilling. When men/women learn that to inappropriately express love.....in the end it depletes us and leave us empty and fills us with fears. These hopefully will find before they get to the end of their life that it is never worth it. For most though, the lessons only make sense at the end of their life or when they cross over to the other side. When for a time they are finally freed from the lusts of the flesh. However, this is no victory. Conditional Love is responsible for 99.99% of all divorces. In all cases one will find that the love of self and the fulfilling of our needs to the point where they have usurped unconditional love has led to divorces. It is also responsible for us to not be able to live our marriage covenant with Christ who said ....."I AM Married to YOU" With unconditional Love we learn to master our desires and our lusts and our actions and to express our love appropriately to all. We learn to rely on God as David did who called Him "Shepherd" and "Helper." We all have a feminine and a masculine side. The trick is to learn to keep them in balance and to express it appropriately within the Limits God has given us. With unconditional Love you can have everything that is appropriate for you to have. Joy and happiness is not in expressing our lusts inappropriately. This 'evil' is possible even in a "straight" marriage....As I have said this over time depletes us both physically and Spiritually.....and leaves us open to diseases of the mind and of the body. All great weaknesses take time...however all men have a Shepherd even a Helper if they wish to have one. All they have to do is ask, seek, and knock with faith. I hope this helps. Peace be unto you bert10

Wherever you go there shall be some of your ancestors. However, it is not unheard of for people on their death bed with their last breath to acknowledge the presence of some close dearly beloved dead relative in the room or angels or even Jesus. Peace be unto you bert10

AESA......Going ahead of the pack spiritually...can have some drawbacks. Such as if you try to teach what GOD has taught you for yourself to the Church you can get you excommunicated for it. Also if you go ahead of the pack there is no safety net provided...So who is going to catch you if you fall? Just be aware that there are pitfalls associated with this. In the BOM the LDS who are in their fine apparals in the glass house shall point and ridicule those who are following the Rod. And they did say many who let go of the rod because of this...were lost in the mist. I do not say that it is better to be in the glass house...but one should be aware...that this road is for they who truly hunger and thirst and are not satisfied with the milk. To be a wayfaring man [isaiah] is a lonely road to travel on, for truly you will meet few on this road. The gnostics were persecuted and killed in the latter part of the Early churches for having beliefs that were no longer in line with the churches thinking. Peace be unto you bert10

Well it is a little more complicated than that.... To be perfected in Christ often occurred in the early churches. Paul records..."Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect yet not the wisdom of this world...." 1 Cor. 2:6 Also in Hebrews we are urged to move on unto perfection.... Hebrews 6:1 - THEREFORE leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, And this is part of overcoming...we begin to receive the promises from the Lord.... Revelation 2:17 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give[1]to eat of the hidden manna, and [2] will give him a white stone, and in the stone [3] a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. They who shall receive the fullness of the promises of Eternal life in the Flesh receives it at the hand of the Lord Himself. They shall be told...'to ask whatsoever they will and Jesus will do it.' This is their last day on this earth...that is, if they are not given a mission like the three Nephites or like John. If they are not given a mission they are translated into Zion. Some did ask the Lord to remain and when were in prison... chose die for the Glory of the Father instead of asking to be delivered. P/s Only Those who have the promises can give their life or allow themselves to die. All others do not have this choice..their life can be taken away without their assent. This power to literally give one's life for the Glory of the Father belongs to them who have received the promises. And these do have the power to be delivered whenever they ask from any circumstances or any evil. To allow oneself to die after receiving the gift of eternal life in the flesh is the greatest gift we can give to GOD. And quite a few did and so they shall receive a better resurrection. Hebrews 11:35 - Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: Peace be unto you bert10

<> The son of Hagar was also the son of Abraham. <> In the days of Mohamed Christianity had already fallen into corruptions. <> Mohamed did teach a more purer gospel then what we have today in the Quran. <> He did succeed in keeping his teachings from being immediately absorbed by the Christians by using the word Allah...instead of Christ. Peace be unto you bert10

The answer that your 5 year old received was very wise...there is no way a five year can understood the whole doctrine on judgment. However without put an explanation I have put down a few verses as well as what Jesus said..so that men may consider this subject. Who is judged? Escaping judgment. 1. Jesus said...."Judge ye not that ye be not judged." So it is possible for men to not be judged. Hebrews 6:1 - THEREFORE leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; [1]not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, [2] and of faith toward God, 6:2 - [3] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and [4] of laying on of hands, and [5]of resurrection of the dead, and [6] of eternal judgment. Hebrews 6:3 - And this will we do, if God permit. They who go to heaven without dying have already been made pure, holy and perfect before GOD. There are some who die as martyred after receiving the promises of Eternal life in the flesh. There is no way to know which of the martyred have received those promises. Peace be unto you bert10

I agree. Also a crisis is what many need in order to change. However, I have found that if we ourselves are in earnest repentance....God often leaves us alone to do it ourselves. And if we are not on the right path He is there to "GIVE US WHAT WE NEED". Many say we get what we deserved. I think if God gave us what we deserved...there wouldn't be many people around. The second bonus... is that when we are repenting....it drives Satan and his angels nuts and limits their powers to make our life more miserable. These took a oath to never repent...and God will hold them to it. So they can never be forgiven because they can never be renewed unto repentance. Peace be unto you bert10
