Question if you go..Hey God If I do this then you do this as a deal and if I fail to do this then you could make what I wanted go horribily wrong...then 5 days later you don't do it so is something going to go wrong now ... I am afraid
Ok, I'm assuming this comment is on unanswered prayers. My personal belief is that there is no such thing as an unanswered prayer. My belief there are three answers to all prayers.
1. Yes
2. No
3. Whatever you choose
Then also I'm going to comment on the idea, saying Hey God, If I do this, then you do this for me, and if I don't do my part then you could make what I wanted go horriblily wrong. First off, I'd just like to state we can make promises with God, but it's usually him telling us what we need to do and what we get for doing it, not us saying what we will do for what we will want.
Yes I believe it is possible, but doesn't always work they way we want it too. Most of the time, in my opinion, what people call unanswered prayers. Are when they get an answer they don't want, they ignore and say it was unanswered. I think we need to just trust in God more, he knows what is best for all of us.
oh, and Regret, you got another person to answer questions, at least for another couple months, I should get my mission call in a week. I'll also help answer questions about my belief as a mormon, and so far I agree with everything that Regret has said concerning our religion.
One last thing.
Joke: A man once told a mormon that he was going to hell. The mormon responded, "I know, but I'd rather know I was going to hell than not know where the hell I'm going."
Story: A man who was holding a shotgun in a mormon's face once told him to deny his religion or die.
The mormon simply said, I will not deny God or any truth from the Mormon religion, shoot and be damned
The man pulled the trigger and nothing happened
Again the man said: Deny your beliefs
The mormon again replied: shoot and be damned
Again the man pulled the trigger and nothing happened
The man once more said: Deny your belif or die
The mormon again replied: shoot and be damned
The man pulled the trigger one last time the gun back fired and the man fell over dead.
Thanks Regulus. Sometimes my views are speculative, so if I state something that is off feel free to make it known. Some of my statements take some reference from the Journal of Discourses, some is also based in my personal study and how I personally think things might be, I try to seperate my opinion from doctrine though.
Congratrs on the call! Hopefully you can be bothering Alliance soon 😉
I believe there is no heaven or hell. I believe that when we die, we are shown our life in the blink of an eye, then we weigh up the good and the bad, then WE judge OURSELVES. Once we have done this, we cross over to the Netherworld. This is just a place of rest until we are reborn. Some choose not to cross over just yet, and remain on Earth for awhile until they are ready to cross over.
