You're in luck! I do consider myself a Christian. I believe in Christ after all.

It has occurred to me. You may be right, but I'm going to go with the answers I receive from the Holy Ghost on this one. That is more real to me than anything else I can perceive in this world. It makes me feel closer to God when I pray for guidance.

I know it's difficult to understand how someone can know something that's not seen. As you would see my knowing something because I feel it as the start of a bit of circular logic, the concept of the eternity of God as an eternal round is also circular in definition. Mortal men cannot possibly understand this concept, but we have to trust that this explanation will suffice until we can think as God does. We will have to wait for the Resurrection before we can get to that point.

I think people said that about Moses too, but even with his more articulate brother Aaron as his mouthpiece, he was still able to lead Israel from bondage in Egypt.
Being wrongfully accused as a Conman doesn't make a personal a real criminal...just documented as one.
God's ways are not our own, so we can't expect everything all at once. I believe that we receive knowledge line upon line, precept upon precept.
Quote:Given that all religions - every single one - are man-made, you're dead wrong. God's ways ARE our ways, you just have your word order muddled up.
You're right! I would have that order muddled up if there wasn't a God. Faith is an important component in order to find out if there is one though. Once we find out that God is real, and once we find out what his will is, only then can we start the path to exaltation.

Why don't you join us godless people and have all the fun you want in this lifetime, and go to heaven in the next, just like us?
I could do that. I would still receive a degree of glory. However, I wish to attain the highest degree of glory, and within that Kingdom I want to receive exaltation on high. To walk in the presence of our Heavenly Father is the greatest gift he can one day give us, and he's given us a way to prepare for that. Earth is a test for mortals, after all.

Intereseting variation of xtian cliché #40.
I enjoyed that! I suppose there will be many more as long as I'm around. ...I almost imagined in real time how all your eyes just rolled at that.
