Unlike the customary conception of "beaming", it is not a matter here of a particle disappearing from one place and re-appearing in another. "Quantum teleportation constitutes methods of communication for application in quantum cryptography, the decoding of data, and not new kinds of...

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that the soul is immortal or seperate from the body. Ecclesiastes 9:5-"For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." The LDS interpretation comes from the larger context of the verse: 3 This ...

What would be the point of Christ having been raised from the dead if he just went to Heaven when he died or some other afterlife? LDS believe that attaining of a perfected physical body is a key, essential part of what consists of, in the LDS view, the fulness of "Eternal Life". John 5:2...

Caspian's logic makes my brain hurt.

We think he did for those who were ready. What we don't think is that the Bible contains every discourse of Christ, every individual teachings of the Apostles, nor even all the authoritative letters of the Apostles ever written (there are some mentioned within the letters we have whose text is not c...

and taal... the method you described to us was straight up Troy. except instead of a woman, it's a flower.

I hadn't thought of it at the time I wrote it, but you're absolutely right.

For most people who intend to destroy nations, morals aren't usually even an issue.

A government dignitary meets with the dignitary of another government for the purposes of a treaty. As part of the widely broadcast diplomatic moves concerning the treaty, one dignitary presented a beautiful flower, native to his own country, as a symbolic gesture. The flower is placed in a specific...

When you edit your post, I think there's a 'delete post' box you can check.

There -is- a straight delete feature *grin*

And I didn't say you posted a 'this is why you're wrong'. What I meant was, you were asking her to.

Since I hope the majority of links coming from PWEB would indeed be safe for work (we do NOT allow linking to anything even resembling pornography, for starters), I would think think simply marking those that may perhaps be considered by some objectional would be wise, and more prudent than marking ...

Miniature American Eskimo. And his name is Tony. He lives with my parents in Florida now, and I'll be visiting him next week

Oh, and the miniatures are far cuter than their fullsize counterparts.

It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big universe and we're not.

For the record, I find claiming that "I don't know" is a very respectful and honest answer for someone who has not had convincing experience in either direction. I think those who hold themselves as Agnostics in this view are to be respected, rather than degraded for not proclaiming a beli...

For the record, what I have presented so far is Official Church Doctrine as I understand it. I'm trying to keep as much speculation out of my explanations as I can to keep things straightforward and simple for those who do not understand the basics of LDS thought. Otherwise, [speculation][/speculati...

She said she'd rather not. Don't push her, pooka. There is a thread on what LDS believe if there are questions that would like to be addressed, but "This is why you're wrong" posts are discouraged in this forum rules. Jayelle is being respectful, and I ask that you also be respectful of he...

Do you take the â€œhistoryâ€ of Adam and Eve as literally true, Yes. or is it just a metaphorical interpretation of some other events? Yes. Either way, how convinced are you that it spells the truth about the actual history? Significantly. Further more, what do you think about the connection betwe...

No, it's not a "matter of interpretation", it's a matter of history. Philisophically, the Greeks are who came up with the concept of "soul". That was after the Old Testament. Greeks certainly developed the idea independently through Philosophy. They also developed the idea of At...

In my understanding, the trials are not just evidence to be used in the Grand Case For Sovereignty. More and more I'm coming to understand that point of view, and respect it. But I still do not agree. For me, the trials are an intended beneficial part of life . Adam and Eve were not created in Eden ...

I, and my fiancÃ©e, are addicted to Arrested Development.

And I made myself download the music that GOB uses for his illusion shows this morning at work.

"Natural Disasters" works for me. I really don't think the majority of such things are 'acts' of anyone. It's nature running its course.

Nobody.

I think Mormonism is a cult and is not Christianity at all, but since that isn't a popular opinion on this forum, I would rather not go into it. I wouldnt go so far as to say its a cult, but it definitely isnt what I would call mainstream Christianity. We wouldn't call it "Mainstream" eit...

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what is the gift of Agency?
Is it something I've probably heard of, just not by that name?

Agency = Free Will

Agency is the ability and privilege God gives us to choose and to act for ourselves.

Alright. This is the LDS view on the afterlife: FOLLOWING DEATH The spirit goes into what we refer to as the Spirit World. The Hebrew scriptures call this state Sheol , the greek Hades . It is, for all intents and purposes, the common grave. There are two key divisions within. What are called "...

I think what Hive_King meant is that God, being God, could have designed the physical laws of the universe in such a way that uranium could generate power without being destructive. In my opinion, that is something like never letting your son or daughter do anything dangerous, no matter what their ...

After.

Very nice!

When you think about it, he didn't create Christianity. He fulfilled Judaism.

While it's true he fulfilled Mosaic Judaism, I'm of the opinion that Christianity came first.

As far as Satan goes, it is Hebrew for "accuser", and the first use of the word in the Bible is in the book of Job, where Satan seems to be one of God's angel's whose job is to play what we now call (fittingly) a devil's advocate. I don't think it's inferred that he was doing a 'job' or '...

Also, for those who may be interested, the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will be occuring this weekend, and live broadcasts will be available on this site . This is an opportunity to hear the leadership of the Church (Prophets, Apostles, and other General Auth...

While I believe the Bible is an important place to start, and that personal study is in fact essential, I personally do not believe it is possible for one to come to a completely accurate knowledge of what it teaches alone without divine assistance . I believe that it is essential to utilize Prayer ...
