Ok let's lighten this up. A guy dies and is headed for hell. when he gets down to the holding room, a guys with pointy ears who smells suspiciously of sulfer tells him he is going to give him three options as to where he will spend eternity. He leads him to three doors and tells him to look inside all three of them and pick his spot.

The guy opens the first door and sees thousands of people standing on their heads on concrete. He slams the door.

He opens the second door and sees thousands of people standing on their heads on hardwood.

He opens the third door and sees thousands of people wading up to their waists in sh!t. He thinks about this. Hey he could get used to the smell. At least he wouldn't be standing on his head.

He turns to the creature and says, I'll take this door.

You sure, the demon says?

Yep, I'm sure, he says. So he goes into the room and wades into the crowd as the door slams. Just as he gets to the center of the room he hears a whistle blow loudly and a booming voice says over a loud speaker,

"Okay everybody! Break's over. Everybody get on your heads!".

If what we want is to live according to the Old Testament laws then in our judgment we will be accountable for every one of them. We aren't saved both by Grace and by the OT, we have to pick one or the other. If we wish to live according to those old laws then we surrender the Salvation that was given to us by Christ.
And this is what I have been taught to understand too Copious, you can't have your cake and eat it too so to speak ;)

Too many want "an eye for an eye" but they themselves want others to "forgive and so shall you be forgiven"

I get the distinct feeling you don't get to ask questions at that point.
well did he or did he not give us the power of logic and reasoning over all the other animals in his kingdom ?
Again according to Catholic teachings we will know all one day just not here. So I have my sights set on a good cup of coffee and a cigarette while we talk. I hope he is not a Mormon God lol or the coffee and smoke are out

Oh man, not just coffee........we are talking pepsi, mountain dew, coke......ANY of the good drinks LOL........not to mention chocolate, I don't think they do chocolate either because of the caffine (but I could be wrong on that one) My late uncle was Mormon and moved out to Salt lake City.......

LOL I lived in Salt Lake City for 6 years. You know how hard it is to find a bar ?
When you do believe me most of them are on the same street and being heavily watched by the police lol.
I love the way the Mormon people live though. It truly is hard to find fault with them and the fact that they were some of the nicest people I have ever known.

Absolutely true........I have NEVER met a mormon that didn't walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. There maybe some out there.......but I haven't run across one yet :)

I can say the same--the people I know who are Mormons certainly seem to practice what they preach--very refreshing!

If I were to follow organized religion I would renounce Catholicism and most likely become a Mormon just because they seem to actually follow being God Fearing and are not judgmental they do live the teaching of Christ and they take care of their own. Utah has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. All the houses are so clean and well kept and there was never a reason to fear walking the street at night there.

Yeah...that is pretty constricting all right. My bf from before and I went travelling and stayed in some little town in Utah. Our motel was right next to this little bar, a scarcity in itself around there. We thought we'd share a pitcher of beer to be more economical while we played pool. That's about 2.5 beers each for the evening. Nope.....they wouldn't sell us a pitcher since there were only two of us. You also couldn't order another one if you had even a swallow left in your current glass...only one drink on the table at a time. Very weird. It's like...hey, we're adults and we're walking, not driving and we're talking 2.5 beers! LOL.

Hmmmm . . . . maybe we'd better start with the repenting stuff. I understand Yaweh endorses Mercedes - you know how the song goes:

Oh Lord, won't you buy me
A Mercedes Benz?

My friends all drive Porsches
