Answer #1

God gave each of us a conscience…”con” means “with”…and “science” means “knowledge”…so each time we sin, we do it with knowledge that it’s wrong. He also wrote his Laws upon our hearts…let me ask you a quick question…do you think that you’re a good person? Under men’s standards, each of us can think of ourselves as being “good”…however, we should be looking at what God requires instead. God gave us the Ten Commandments so that we could figure out how we measure up to His standards. 9th Commandment - Have you ever lied? If so, that makes you a liar. 8th Commandment - Have you ever stolen anything, regardless of its value? If so, you’re a thief. 3rd Commandment - Have you ever taken God’s name in vain? If so, you have taken the name of the God that gave you life and dragged it through the mud, and the Bible calls that blasphemy. Jesus said that if you do so much as look at someone with lust, you commit adultery in your heart. If a person is being honest, the majority would have to answer “yes” to all of the above. And if you did, you just admitted that God would see you as a lying, thieving, blaphemous, adulterer at heart…and this is only 4 of the 10 Commandments. Then you have to ask yourself the following two questions…would God find you innocent or guilty of breaking His laws? If you’re honest, you would have to say that you’re just as guilty as the rest of us…would He send you to heaven or hell? Most people here would say “heaven,” thinking that He would have to be a more forgiving God than this…think about what you’re saying here…if God were to let people go into heaven, who have broken His laws, then He would be an unjust (corrupt) judge. Now, let me ask you a final question…what did God do so that we would not have to go to hell?…Two thousand years ago, God became a man in Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect, SINLESS life (did not break any of God’s laws), died on the cross, and rose again on the 3rd day after His death. When Jesus was on that cross, He was taking the punishment for the sins of the WHOLE world, including myself. It’s like this…you and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid our fine in His life’s blood. So, on the “day of judgement” God can dismiss our case because of what Jesus did. His righteousness can be imputed to us. The Bible says that you must do two things in order to receive this gift…you must REPENT (turn from your sins)…and put your complete TRUST in Jesus alone for your salvation. Once you do these two things, the Bible says that He will make you a new person. Jesus actually calls it “being born again”. He’ll give you a new heart with new desires. Those sinful things that you used to do…you’ll no longer want to do them. My only advice after this would be to get yourself a Bible and obey what you read…and also find yourself a good church. I know that this commentary was rather lengthy…but there’s nothing more important than YOUR ETERNAL SALVATION.

Answer #8

I was born into the mormon religion, yes I live in utah. haha. but I am starting not to believe most of it. I believe in jesus christ.

the mormon religion pisses me off. the only thing I ever learned at church was what not to do. dont have sex. dont drink. dont smoke. blah blah blah.

god created wine himself in the bible it says smoke the holy herb. (pot) and maybe sex isnt a godly thing but humans are always horny. we pretty much need sex. I thing it is just dumb that they tell us what not to do.

I also hate how they say that you cant go to the highest kingdom in heaven if you arent married in the temple. BULL SHI*!! there are millions around the world that dont even know about the temple. they are probably amazing people too. so what, they go to hell??? or dont deserve the best???

Answer #9

I am an adult convert (from England) to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). I believe in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I believe in the teachings of my Church because I have found them to be true, pragmatic, and bring peace. The emphasis on work, honesty, family, and service has enabled me and my wife to raise five children who are now happy and productive members of society, some with spouses and children of their own.

Answer #10

Messianic Judasim (a bit new to the faith) I found that there must have been a messiah born based on the time lines that G-d has set forth and there is no other possiblility other then who you call Jesus. It is practially the same thing as Christianity but they still keep to Jewish law on many things. The differences are that we are a bit more conservative and Christians are a bit more liberal. Why do I follow this doctrine of faith is because it is the only one that has been one step ahead of science since the beginning of time. Also the many prophecy’s regarding Israel are coming true.
