3 Nephi : 25 - Burn Like An Oven
PoeticIntensity
Among the discussions I've had of the scriptures, this one is always a fun one.
"When God says that the earth is gonna burn, does he mean it literally? Are the wicked really gonna burn at the second coming?"
Honestly, for me, I have enough scriptural evidence to convince me to respond in the affirmative.
Thoughts?
Also - I'm...

3 Nephi : 24
PoeticIntensity
Interesting that I should choose to read this today, because my wife and I were talking a bit about the 2nd coming last weekend. The second coming shall be like a "refiner's fire", which, of course, is meant to purify - or to burn out impurities. That which abides by the law is sanctified by the same. A talk I once heard...

Some projects are just worth the wait. Four months ago, we started working with a group named Lucid 8, and quite honestly, I've been itching to get their demo finished. Well, we're heading down that road now, and it feels great. We have one song finished, with 5 more quickly getting wrapped up. Can't wait to see where these ...

Chapter 22 was another toughy, but I figure I'm gonna better my life if I read and am only able to type a tiny bit, rather than not read at all.
I guess my brain is still getting over this sickness, because I find it difficult to do any critical thinking. Anyway...
I found it interesting the bit about "more are the children of the de...

So, this last week was booked solid - again. We saw a few regulars come in and a few new on...

I'm not sure if I can make it through this chapter one more time! I have no idea what's going o...

New Direction in Following Christ

I left the church after realizing that I am gay, and I don't want to change that. Lastnight.
I do not believe in the Church's stance on homosexuality. Which is that you can overcome those temptations,
that it is an awful sin, and as long as you don't act on it, youre okay.
I really don't believe that God would make 10% of...

So, in Gospel Doctrine, from time to time, we talk about praying, and how we're supposed to pray all the time, and then we get the comments that it's impossible to "pray" all the time, and then someone else says that we need to be praying "always" in our hearts. That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...
