Rise (and fall) of rational Theology
On August - 7 - 2011
When I mentioned King James Bible in an earlier post, I deliberately left out the turmoil of Continental Europe. The 17th century brought on wars that have somewhat falsely been called religious wars, but are generally the 30 years war. It was about formerly Catholic princes, king, dukes etc. pitting their forces against their Protestant [...] Read More →
É o Jesus mórmon o irmão de Satanás?
On August - 5 - 2011
Comecei a prestar atenção a este comentário a respeito de Jesus ser o irmão de Satanás somente nos últimos anos aqui nos EUA. Eu me tornei um membro da Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias (Igreja Mórmon) na Itália e eu nunca tinha ouvido esse argumento naquele país, quando as pessoas tentavam atacar os Mórmon e a Igreja. Enquanto vivia no Brasil eu ouvi este comentário apenas algumas vezes, mas eu pensei que ele poderia ser demitido de forma muito fácil. Uma vez que somos todos filhos de Deus, irmãos e irmãs em espírito, então Jesus é irmão de Satanás da mesma maneira em que alguns de nós têm irmãos e irmãs, mas este fato realmente não nos diz nada sobre o que acreditamos, ou não significa que o Jesus mórmon é de alguma forma “amigo” de Satanás ou que eles defendam os mesmos princípios. Da mesma maneira o “Jesus Mórmon” tem o poder de perdoar os pecados contrariamente ao que está escrito no sinal da fotografia acima. No... Read the rest of this entry »

How Would You Introduce Jesus?
On July - 14 - 2011
Reading Sista Laurel’s post “The First Fish Fry” made me think of this video. Comedian Steve Harvey, was invited to provide some comic relief a few years ago at MegaFest (A Christian conference.) At the end of his comedy routine he bears his testimony and thanks God and his Savior for all of his success. He says that throughout his career he has been blessed to have had the opportunity to introduce some of the biggest names in show business, and then tells how, if given the chance, he would introduce Jesus. This has changed the way I look at testimony meeting. What about ya’ll Brothas and Sistas? If given the chance to introduce Jesus, how would you introduce him? Fast and Testimony meeting is fast approaching will you be introducing him this month or next? God Is Love,Sista Beehive Read More →
The First Fish Fry
On July - 11 - 2011
When I was younger we often attended our Sunday services at the LDS church and then went to church with my Granny, who was a member of a Baptist church. Although it made for a very long Sunday, I enjoyed attending church with my Granny. Even though she was not Mormon, Granny was always at our church because she attended whenever we asked her to. If there was a Primary program she was there, if there was a baptism she was there, ward activity there, pretty much if we sneezed and we wanted her at church with us, she was there. Of course Granny loved us, but I think much of her willingness to attend church with us was because my parents allowed her grandchildren to attend church with her also. My Granny is no longer with us and I cannot express how grateful I am for those extra long Sundays, they are precious memories that I cherish, memories centered on Christ. There were special Sundays at Granny’s church where they had a dinner after the service. A fish fry! (A cookout... Read the rest of this entry »
