Questioning Lies

Another beautiful artwork <3 -huggles- I pray for you everynight. Just thought you deserved to know <3

My dear, just keep your eyes on God! He is your strength

Romans 12:5, "so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."

Hun, it does not matter your denomination, we are all a single body under Our Saviour. He is each our's personal Saviour. He doesn't care that you're a Mormon, I'm a Seventh-Day Adventist, Ilyich is an Athiest, ect....we are His Children. All of us.

I am an earnest believer in that everything happens for a reason in God's merciful sight. He brought us all here on Broken Truths together for a reason. I am just happy that we are all so open and accepting of one another <3 Love you, my dear....your Spirit is so entertwined with God's that I find myself so often lifted by your words. YOU are a fine Christian. God calls us to live for Him with a joyous heart, and you help us all do so with your friendly words and uplifting nature. <3

I must admit I am not too knowledgeable in the Mormon doctrine, but I am always willing to learn That is so...amazing that you just read an autobiography about an SDA, seeing as we're not exactly the most popular denomination out there. Another one of God's works, I presume

Hun, I would love to be able to say I feel myself truly in God's grace, but I speak much better than I am. I know the Word with decency but I fail to love all the times I should love. I loose my temper and I find myself hating all too often. This is where my dear Kuna comes into play; on a day I feel especially self-pitying or simply rageful, I know my Kuna will lighten it ten fold You are indeed one of my Shepherds, dear friend. Indeed.

Yeah, I have noticed that people wear the Christian label but it is all outter. There are so many antiChristians because of how awful we tend to represent themselves. Of course there are a few "bad SDAs", but that is true for all denominations. Typically, SDAs are very dedicated to the act of the "Good Samaritan" and "loving thy neighbor" and such. There are two big points in the Christian walk that, if done, will make all other principals automatic:
Love God and love your fellow man. If we do these two things, all other aspects of being Christlike comes naturally.

That is how SDAs operate. Well, that and treat the body like a temple for Christ (no alcohol, no smoking, no tattoos, no piercings, little to no animal products, be physically active).

Also along with treating the body like a temple, we try to have a clean head...and that includes no swearing...I only fall short of that on here, and that is usually when playing a Folami since they tend to have a more colorful vocabulary...so I hope that doesn't offend you too much. Understand that that is only me trying to be in character, I don't speak like that in real life!

They said that? Aw! My church, the few times they do mention Mormons, have nothing but good things to say so they would probably say the same things...except they would say that Mormons are SDAs that aren't SDAs, lol

I adore you, too! You are such a lovely inspiration for me <3 I am so happy we were able to talk like this because I knew you were Christian, but I just never realized how similar our denominations are! Sounds like the biggest difference between us is our day of worship, lol. <3

We try not to cuss either, however I am trying desperately to work on that. In sixth grade I swore ALOT and now I'm trying to get out of the habit.
It's SO hard because SO many people don't have qualms with it - so you hear it, and then in roleplay it's bound to happen where at least *some* of your characters don't mind cussing.
But I've recently started to star out words now. =D

Lol yeah, that would make sense. xD

I know! It's crazy!
I think the only differences between our denominations would be the day of worship and the fact that Mormons have the Book of Mormon as well as the Bible giving us guidelines.

[Bhu ♥ Irwin]

I tend to star out cusses in the cbox (because, as you may have noticed, I get angry and throw 'em down every so often)...I used to cuss a lot, too, because I, honestly, was an athiest so I had no moral guideline. It was not until last year or so that I became an active and avid member of a church and started trying to train myself to walk the Christian walk


Ah, I was unaware that Mormons have a book seperate from the Bible. My entire family (excluding my ma and me) are Catholic, so they have the Caticism in addition to the Bible, so I grew up with that idea. My take on that is IF the Bible is your first Book, then a book written by Man is fine...I raise grief about the Caticism because it takes things the Bible says and tries to make them moot...That gets me upset because it is trying to manipulate or simply destroy the words of God Himself...I am sure the Book of Mormons doesn't do that, though...I am just unfamiliar with it so I can't have a clear take on it, lol <3

[Bhu ♥ Irwin]

That is ridiculous. The aposiles added stuff to God's Word, stuff that wasn't inspired! As long as what one adds doesn't contradict the original Bible text, and it is taught as something man decided and not God, it is righteous. Nowhere in the Bible does it try and say it's wrong.

Lutheranism teaches the 95 Thesis and it pretty much follows the Bible well...I am not too eductated on it, though. I think the only denominations that really teach unChristian principals are Catholicism (totally manipulates everything in the Bible) and Calvinism (teaches predestination).

[Bhu ♥ Irwin]

That is like any book written by the one that we (SDAs) hold as our "modern" day prophet (well, more modern...she has been dead for two hundred years or so); Ellen White. She explains God's Word at a deeper meaning, focusing highly on the Sabbath day and treating the body like a temple for Christ. So I could never utter a foul word about the Book of Mormons. We do not consider Ellen White's writings as sacred as the Bible, but we do believe them God inspired.

Having grown up in Catholicsm, I am highly educated in their teachings...they are the reason I dropped Christianity for 11 years (before being rescued into the SDA church). They not only contradict the Bible, some of the things they preach contradict other things they preach; only man-made words will do such a moronic thing. And, they are the "ringleader", as you put it. Not to knock down on the Sunday Sabbath day but, supposedly, the Catholic church was the one who started Sunday worship...they other denominations protested at first (becoming Protestants)...but it eventually became accepted by most denominations because the Sunday idea drew in pagans that worshiped the Sun god (so saw Sunday as holy). In a way, the Protestants let go of their protesting against the Sunday for good, evanglistic intentions...it just bothers SDAs and Seventh-Day Baptists because it is a, supposedly, an attempt towards making the Seventh Day Sabbath moot. However, some people justify the Sunday because that is the day Jesus rose...I am convicted that the Ten Commandment Seventh Day Sabbath still stands, but that is just MY convinction...those who claim Sunday because of the fact that Jesus rose on that day, I have no athority to say they're wrong....no do I have the desire to because I can not go off anything but faith! My faith might be lying on the wrong thing, but it is a conviction and I do not think God will blame nor punish us based on a wrong day...long as we don't dismiss the Sabbath Day all together....or pick some random day to be the Sabbath. If we have Biblical explanations to justify, I earnestly believe God is merciful enough to understand our misunderstandings.

Wow...I just wove off onto a tangent...sorry about that!
