Steering this thread back on topic, I'm happy to answer any more questions about the LDS, from anyone. ~Revan

I wrote it in a moment of inspiration.

As far as metal goes, I'm mostly into folk. Ensiferum, Eluveitie, the like.

Haha, thank you. I love them too. I saw them in concert twice. Loved every second of it. I have the utmost respect for them as a band, and as believers. ~Revan

Nothing is a coincidence, friend. He very well may have. As the world hated Israel, the world will hate you for your closeness to G-D. Stay close to Him, my friend; you are a rare individual. You truly are. You will go far to spread the message of love throughout the world. Never let anyone get you down, and let other believers help you carry your burdens. There will come a time when the world will realize their follies and turn to G-D, or be destroyed. Our hope is in the Messiah. ~Revan

Thank you so much. All things you've seen here come from G-D. He's the provider of everything, so half the Psalms of David say. I'm always here for you if you need anything. I'm glad I met you. It can be very tough sometimes, yes. It tries my faith, but I endure, all with the blessing of the Lord. His answer still truly amazes me; I love it when He and I speak. It blows my mind. Keep enduring in your faith; go on, and talk to G-D yourself. See what He wants of you. G-D has great plans for you; follow them. Love you much. ~Revan

Our worship of God is much more than just entertainment or religion. It is a relationship. A common theme runs through all holy books. The early history of the holy book talks of those who begun mankind, how they walked with God in a very intimate way. As people became more and more finicky, and sunk deeper into darkness, they asked for more and more from God. God, being just, gave it to them. An example of this is the Israelites wandering through the desert. They begged God for a society, for a religion, and thus God gave them the Mosaic Law. At no time did God require this of them. INDEE

Anytime. It is my credo; it is how I live. Feel free to share it and pass it along. So long as you credit God, not me.

Thanks for being open. I'm glad we can have an excellent dialogue. I've studied Judaism extensively; I say with full faith and love to you, may the Ruach Elohim fill you up for now and for all time. As followers of the God of Israel, we are in constant opposition to the world's will. We must endure to the end and keep His commandments. For this, we will be well blessed. Thank you so much. Means alot. <3 It can be hard at times, yes. Most of my family is either Pentecostal Christian or irreligious. You can see how well my Latter Day Sainthood fits in. I decided to become a Latter Day

My faith consists of and is based in Jesus Christ. Christ taught us that religion is irrelevant; what matters is your heart. Love for all fellow men, for God, and a relationship with Jesus Christ. God once inspired me with a quaint little saying: The one Zarathustra called Ahura Mazda, I follow. The one Paul, John, and Peter called Jesus Christ, I follow. The one Krishna called Brahman, I follow. The one the American Indians called the Great Mystery, I follow. The one Muhammad called Allah, I follow. The one Moses called YHVH, I follow. The One who named HIMSELF as I AM THAT I AM,

"Dichotomy" by Becoming the Archetype.

If you don't mind my asking, what is your religion? Alternatively, what do you believe? Of course it won best musical. Jesus Christ taught us that the world will hate us, and I speak to anyone who calls themselves Christian when I say this, not just Latter Dey Saints. Anything we love is hated by the world; anything that puts us down is loved by the world. My friend, I will never write you off. I, myself, have been written off too many times myself. I am the only Latter-Day Saint in my entire family; my views are often ridiculed, even by my immediate family. ~Revan

Hi, Arie! Thanks for your interest, and thank you so much for your kind words. I'd be happy to answer anything you may have, whether it may be personal and private, or just an interest. Your question isn't silly at all! It's perfectly valid! Well, the official Church stance is that the musical is okay. However, I actually find it a tad offensive... it blatantly makes fun of our faith and does not represent it at all. Oh, well. It's not like it hasn't happened before.. (Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Utah...) ~Revan

Latter-day Saints have some similarities and some differences with mainline Christianity. The first and foremost differences are the LDS church's acceptance of the Book of Mormon, and as Joseph Smith as a Prophet. Other Christian demoninations do not recognize either the Book of Mormon or the Prophet. Secondly, the LDS church believes it contains the full and valid Gospel of Jesus Christ, whereas all other churches on earth only contain a part of the Gospel. Now, before you may reject these ideas, I ask you to consider them. Learn our history and beliefs, and decide for yourself. T

I'm going to throw my name in here as someone who will pray for others. Just shoot me a private message if you need something, whether it be prayer, counseling, or anything at all. I'm here for you, regardless of your faith. ~Revan

John 13:35- "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." That is how I publicly display my faith.

I personally do not attend an LDS church with any frequency. I usually just gather individually with like minded believers, and we discuss scripture. As for my faith's strength, one must as what faith is. The Bible tells us that "faith is the hope of things unseen". From that perspective, my faith is rock-solid. I am a man of reason, and I am a man of God. I know for a fact that God is there, that He speaks to us all, and He will continue to guide me. While I may doubt myself at many times, I never doubt God's will for us. No matter what, His will is best. The Church of Jesus Christ of LDS

Thanks, Hermione. <3
