Beliefs

 There are things I believe in. Things I trust. My faith isn't shaken, I know who my God is. It irritates me when family members try and tell me I have gone astray. I have not gone astray; I try to follow Christ's teachings as found in the New Testament. Trust me when I say I have not gone astray.

Life is a bunch of random nuggets spilled together into a pool of goo. It's all a mess to begin with. We are here to try and understand that goo and everything that is around it. There is nothing else that matters. If we understand life, we can see what else is out there and understand that.

Sometimes you have to follow your gut and what feels right. That's not always looked upon as a good thing, but it tends to work from time to time. I'd rather trust my gut than anything else. It tends to tell me things I didn't think of before.

The Holy Spirit whispers in a still small voice. It teaches what is true. Most important it testifies of God and Jesus Christ. Ya have to be listening and waiting to hear it, as it is still and small. That's just how the Spirit works.

I believe Christ died for my sins. He died on the cross and rose the third day. I believe He is the son of God, and only through Him can we be saved.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

What's The Point?

 So, tell me, what is the point of believing in a spiritual supreme being? I often wonder what that is all about. I know religions say that God, as some call him, is our father. We pray by starting with our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Yet sometimes it feels like he is absent from our lives. Is it due to how we are living our lives? What exactly is the cause of that feeling? Some people believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are one person. Others do not. It is interesting to me to see what all churches believe in. I myself do not go to church. I don't believe in organized religion. I have my bible on my phone, so it's me and my bible. That is my link to God. It makes me wonder if that's enough though. I have faith in Christ, I believe in him. Is my faith sufficient to be forgiven of my sins? I do not know. I do know that wherever I end up in the afterlife, I will have done my best to follow Christ. I believe the scriptures which lay out Christ's...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
