hey have you tried reading "The Book of Urantia?" It's bigger than most versions of the BIBle! |

There's no need to dis Harry Potter, I would suggest, if you're a Christian, NOT reading the Book of Mormon because it might start making you believe blasphemous things. If my post is a little out of date it's because I was too lazy to read the entire thread and I apologize. |

gothicviceroy112, what do you consider as being "blasphemous things". Do you know what the Book of Mormon really teaches? I'm not saying you don't, you may. I just want to know why Riff can't make up his own mind about what he reads. Why to open yourself up to new ideas and new teachings? Is trying to learn something about another religion really that bad? |
|
it doesn't matter what the book of mormon teaches, technically as it isn't a book of his sect, what he is reading isn't a book of his believes. Maybe to him it counts as reading the book of a false diol and so sinning, i know you both share the same God, but your believes are still a little different in some areas. |

“What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'” -Hume
Come on man, is that necessary? Can you talk about anything on here without insulting someone? At least get the facts strait. What happened in 1958? Do you mean 78? Why criticize what you don't understand? What have Mormons done to you? |

The hebrew word for hell is sheol which means "ground", "earth", "grave" or "garbage heap". |
|
Heaven or Hell, the fact that so many humans can't consolidate the notion beyond the idea of "a place" shows that those same humans are not ready to think about such things just yet . |
|
I think it's a state of mind. A place would be a psysical world thing that you can see, feel, and touch but we would not be what we are now, and it's all mind related so....a state of mind is what it would be IMO. Anyway who knows, maybe we really are nothing and have no future after we are dead,which would mean we are a mistake for the fact we live 1 minutes or 100+ years and that's all in the 14 billion year old universe. You know how dumb it would be for a baby to live for 1 minute and die from complications only to never exist again? wow..... |

I personally believe in the left hand path, which basically means I come up with my own morals and values. In my life I basically do what I want. This doesn't mean the things I do are bad they are just what I want to do. I dont let any book or anyone tell me what I am going to do or how I am going to act in my life. The good thing about this type of religion is freedom. Someone in this religion could do good things and be a good person which is all that matters right? There is nothing considered blasphamy to me because my religion is basically is celebrating my existance. |

Marvo, care to be more specific? |

People converting to mormon, often results in broken friendships, tension in the family and other shit. Also, it has devided the christians into even more different sects, which to some point is both good and bad. |

The Jews never had a hell, it was added in by christians who got the concept from Hades (i think it was hades). |

All of this discussion has gotten off of the oricinal topic of who here is a true Christian or not? That means do you follow the Bible (real christian) or make your own path (not)? |
|
Oops "original" brainfart. |
|
Just to make my post clear, I never answered if you are going to hell, you will not go to hell for reading it, I just personally would not recommend reading it, it's totally up to you though. |

No where in the scriptures does it say reading another book is a sin. Now following its word and worshiping another deity other than Yahweh (G-d's true name) is a sin. That is the reason I am no long a Christian. I used to be a Christian, but for the past year I have been discovering the difference between truth and the "great delusion" Paul addressed in 2nd Thessalonian Chapter 2 Verse 11. The entire B-ble as well as most of the english language is filled with paganism, which is one thing that angers Yahweh the most. Oh and to clarify something with you, and this may be hard to believe, but I can prove it. |

Save the llamas. Adopt an alpaca.
Amal, it really depends if you're a protestant or a catholic. Protestants (Luthernists?) are probably the most respectable sect of christians. |
