please listen to the link audio file before people debunk the satanic religious human sacrifice and confuse their cultures with the book of mormon and the testimony of Righteousness.
Mormons are Christians, mkay?
I know you might tell me "well those are only the extreme christians". Well I saw a recent poll that said that 60% of americans believe the noah’s ark story to be true. Which justifies my claim that 60% of america is mentally retarded.
Look I don’t believe anything unless I see proof of it. I am an atheist and I don’t trust the big bang theory for a second.
I remember I had an audio version of the bible once that a family member had given me. And it was in today’s english. I remember laughing the entire time listening to it. I promise you if people read the bible in simple american english they would not trust that book for a second.
the big bang theory is still crap i’m sorry to admit it.
actually yes i have a big hatred of the cathloic church
I agree. I don’t know why people think that they have to believe the Bible is literally true to be good Christians (or Jews or Muslims, I guess). It wasn’t always this way. People used to know what a myth was, and that they didn’t have to believe the myth was actually true in order to take the lesson intended from studying the myth.
I’m on my second year of a 7 year cover-to-cover Bible study, in Joshua, and one of the "requirments" I have for myself is a certain number of "supplementary studies" for each book, like just creative stuff (commentaries, audio sermons, movies, quizzes, etc). Does anyone have any ideas or resources for good information on the book of Joshua, or specific portions of it? I have already gotten all of the basic surface-text down, so most sources are just stuff I already know, I’m looking for ideas or sources that get into the deeper elements, like typology, sybolism, application, stuff not evident in english translations, etc. Or even if you just know something interesting about the book that isn’t common knowledge, or a good "lead".
Thanks! 
Kinda the sorta – sounds fascinating – i’ll write that down. I’m doing 1Kings August 16-September 26 and 2Kings September 27-November 10. Hopefully I won’t forget.
When you get to Kings you must get the stunningly excellent
The Politics of God and the Politics of Man (Paperback)
by Jacques Ellul
"In this book, he takes 7 worldly characters from Second Kings, and comments on how their reactions conformed to the world view or not, and how G-d interacted with them. The seven characters are Joram, Hazael, Jehu, the murderer of Jezebel and the house of Ahab, Naaman, the Syrian, Ahaz, King of Judah, King Hezekiah, his son, and the Assyrian Rabshakeh."
If so, has it helped you identify those on this site for what they truly are?
If you’ve never read it, and say you have no time, the audio version can be downloaded for free at http://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?seriesOnly=true&currSection=sermonstopic&SourceID=pilgrims&keyworddesc=Pilgrim%27s+Progress+Audio+Drama&keyword=Pilgrim%27s+Progress+Audio+Drama
Many teachings found on the sermonaudio site are unsound, so don’t think I endose the entire site by this recommendation.
Yes, and it points out many of the characters on this posting area. Talkative, and Worldly Wiseman mostly, but it is not limited to those two.
Thank you for the audio link. I will put it to good use.
Peace in Christ.
PS: On the below recommended site, please do not follow the teachings of the apostate teacher Rick Joyner. His allegory in his modern day "revelation" couldn’t touch the true spiritual revelation of John Bunyan.
I’m asking this Q to converted Christians and Mormons. I read a book called "The Gospel for Everyday Life" and it was during this time that I felt the Spirit powerfully enter my heart to know that Jesus forgave me for my sins. It changed my whole view on life, and has given me so much more ability to cope with my personal failures, and to overcome them.
The reason I’m asking is because I have some friends who are suffering greatly, feeling so pathetic because they can’t live up to the standards they believe in. Do you have any suggestions, words or links to resources that helped you to understand the love of Jesus Christ, and to be healed?
Audio resources would be most appreciated, as one of my friends has a learning disability, and can’t learn from reading books.
Thank you for your respectful answers.
P.S. My friends are already Christians (of the LDS variety), but just don’t personally understand how much God loves them, and what the atonement of Christ really means for them.
Hi Jon. I see all Love as from the same Source. One who is full of love knows God, whether his mind conceptualizes God or not.
(It works the other way, too… one who conceptualizes God does not know God unless he has Love… Love is the primary thing.)
One of my friends is open to Buddhism, the other is willing to entertain the possibility, but not particularly receptive to it. I’m looking for some audio that will be easily accepted and absorbed by my friends, and help them to accept and love themselves.
Maybe I should have said, "HOWEVER a person conceptualizes God, Love is the primary thing."
I believe in Christ, and I believe that knowing Him is a very good thing, and important. However, those who profess to know him, but don’t have love, know him less than you do (who are full of love… ie. you accept the principles of Christ, without accepting the worship of Him).
Many Buddhists know Christ in essence/heart/feeling.
Does that make sense, my friend?
Incognito… Thanks for the rays of hope.
lots of people go to church and don’t really understand what Christ had done for them in a personal way they only have him there in a general way like my mom goes to church or something like that so let them keep going and someday they too will get to having a personal relationship with God,Jesus and the Holy spirit the same way God gave us a chance to get to know him while we played church it worked for us and if their heart is truly with God it will happen for them also
Upon following Jesus, I shouldn’t expect for life to be improved or better, or am I told I am an opportunist.
Upon following Jesus, I am told to not question, but to just have faith, faith in what? Faith in an invisible man, or the invisible Heaven?
Upon following Jesus, I am told not to expect anything, but will gain salvation, which has never been proven.
Upon following Jesus, I am to go to a huge building, where everyone judges each others clothing, but we are not to judge. How can it be that the most judgmental group happens to be the ones who have been specifically told not to judge.
Christians everywhere, please help me to explain these contradictions. Because in my eyes, if this were a company, I would have people paying for a product no one sees, I would have a book of guidelines hardly anyone follows, and I would constantly be asking my clients for money to run my business.
If I were Jesus, I’d be pissed at my "followers" Jesus did not stand for selling prayer rags, books, audio tapes, etc. The Jesus I know rejected these buildings, hypocrites, and needy money-hungry businesses. Jesus would not ask for money, he actually put in more than he got out. That is, if Jesus (Horus) story is true to begin with.
Feel free to address these one by one. Thank you for intelligent answers.
As I thought, hardly any answers, I wonder if I’m being judged?
mmkay just a min…
"Upon following Jesus, I shouldn’t expect for life to be improved or better, or am I told I am an opportunist."
No, you shouldn’t. Jesus said that he came not to bring peace and prosperity, but instead a "sword."
Your faith will cause problems.
"Upon following Jesus, I am told to not question, but to just have faith, faith in what? Faith in an invisible man, or the invisible Heaven?
Upon following Jesus, I am told not to expect anything, but will gain salvation, which has never been proven."
You are told to have faith in Jesus and Salvation. Anyone who tells you to "not question"… Well, I’d say they’re just blind sheep. Question everything you are told. It’s up to you.
"Upon following Jesus, I am to go to a huge building, where everyone judges each others clothing, but we are not to judge. How can it be that the most judgmental group happens to be the ones who have been specifically told not to judge."
If you know for a fact that they are judging you based on your clothing, go ahead and point it out. At a Church I used to attend (it was about two years ago), one staff member commented on the attire of one young girl. She was put to shame when another person asked "What kind of clothes do you think Jesus wore?"
"If I were Jesus, I’d be pissed at my "followers" Jesus did not stand for selling prayer rags, books, audio tapes, etc. The Jesus I know rejected these buildings, hypocrites, and needy money-hungry businesses. Jesus would not ask for money, he actually put in more than he got out."
If Jesus went in and saw audio tapes, prayer rags and books on sale, he would tip over the tables just like he did when he entered the Temple.
Nothing is on sale in my Church, and there is complete financial transparency (they hand it out like a bulletin), detailing how much is donated to the Church and where it is spent. Through God’s grace we are able to maintain missions on an international scale – our little Baptist Church has operations all the way from Pakistan to Peru.
Not one dollar is unaccounted for.
So next time they "judge" you, ask them what they think Jesus would to in this situation. Remember, chances are they’re moderately wealthy, conservative capitalists who devote most of their time to making money. The exact OPPOSITE of Christ.

If I were Jesus, if he exsisted, I’d be pissed at my "followers" Jesus did not stand for selling prayer rags, books, audio tapes, etc. ‘Jesus’ rejected these buildings, hypocrites, and needy money-hungry businesses. Jesus would not ask for money, he actually put in more than he got out. That is, if Jesus (Horus) story is true to begin with.

Credit to JP, he asked this before but got 2 answers.
I don’t know what horus is, call me stupid.
I just skipped that part xP
Where are you told not to question? You didn’t find that in the Bible, because the Bible doesn’t advocate blind faith. Instead it tells us to test everything, and hold onto the good.
Nobody is forcing you to follow Jesus, but you can expect salvation should you decide to do so. And salvation can’t be proven or measured in scientific terms, but it’s very true to those who believe.
I go into office buildings all the time where people are judging other people, especially their bosses. (I’m sure you have too.) At least in the Christian buildings no one is criticizing their Superior. Those of us who do judge know that we will also be judged ourselves.
There are no contradictions, only what you’re not willing to accept. There’s plenty of historical evidence for the life of Jesus, and He was not called Horus, but you’ll have to make the decision about whether He was just a man, or if He was divine. Regardless, plenty of secular historians have written about Him. Start with the historians Josephius (a devout Jew) and Tacitus (a secular Roman) to read some of the earliest accounts ever produced about the life of Jesus. Many more, but those are the earliest and most secular, which leaves very little doubt even in a skeptic’s mind that Jesus existed.
Favorite tunes & videos?
Favorite podcasts?
Good audio books?
Gray area
I am looking for info. I want some good suggestions for MY iPod.
All Christian songs, other than country
And would you also be interested in my audio cd’s?
Poeing at the national level for monetary gain…. interesting.
I’ve got Christian fundamentalist parents and am atheist. Obviously they don’t want me reading any book that will challenge their beliefs.
I’ve only got 30 bucks on itunes currently and am planning on just buying an audio book. What are your recommendations? =D
The Selfish Gene. In the first few pages it declares that all living things are simply shells in which to protect the genes, rather than that we have any existential meaning to be as developed as we are. We’re just the more efficient defense systems for our cells to continue to survive.
I really liked that. It opened my eyes.
Plus, it’s a lot less angry than the God Delusion, which was severely propaganda-orientated, which was a real shame.
Or you could buy The Blind Watchmaker. But I’d go for The Selfish Gene.
