Hi jbl,Quote It's been encouraging to continue studying and searching for God. For lack of better description, I feel as if I can feel God reaching out to me. I can somewhat relate to your situation. My brother died less than a year ago. I can testify that it is the faith I have in God and Jesus's teachings that have been a great comfort in the…[Read more]

Hi All, In regards to defining truth. I had this discussion many years ago with some friends. We came up with this structure… There is your truth, there is my truth, there is objective truth which we can agree on by using agreed upon methods(like a covenant) of compiling facts to ascertain the objective truth. Some might call this the…[Read more]

To Pierre, The practice of the giving the Holy Spirit via the hands is done today in the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints. One must keep in mind that for us it truly is Christ baptising us with the Holy Spirit just like John the Baptist said. With Love and Respect,…[Read more]

To Paladin, Your elucidation of the words “in the beginning” has really cleared up alot things for me. The bible as a cohesive whole is starting to make much more rational sense to me now. Thank you. I trusted the bible for the most part in blind faith(excepting the words of Jesus Christ because my soul knew he spoke truth)before, now the scales…[Read more]

addendum:Quote No Pierre not according to me. According to scripture. According to scripture God breathed the breath of life which is by definition animated spirit which is life. Life from God. Which then became soul. It's not me saying this Pierre it is the words in the scripture.To this I would like to add God breathed living spirit as is is…[Read more]

Hi Pierre, So you are saying that God gave Adam oxygen into his nostrils like a newborn baby doesn't breath on it's own at first?

Hi Tim,I just wanted to say that I agree with you that sin is a separation from the love and might I add will of God. I only say this because it was the will of God for Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I agree with you that before they did the were living as one with God because there were not…[Read more]

Hi Pierre,I am going to do a little talk about the the word 'become/became'. In english became is the past tense form of the word become. There once was a boy who planted some seeds in the ground.
