There's no need to understand. He is who he is. Accept and love him or don't, but I will tell you that you are missing out on a very interesting person with great insight, a quick mind and rapier sharp wit.

sugarbay,

You don't need to worry....I know that Setheus is a interesting and witty person. I suppose that I've led a fairly sheltered life so far. I actually thought that Setheus had made a mistake since I have never seen the movie, "The Three Amigos".

The only thing that really bothers me is how he gets all the women in his corner. Thank goodness my girlfriend doesn't know him or I'd probably have to fight to keep her. :P

Now maybe if I could think up lines like this...I would have some of his irresistible charm to the women. :P PS Happy New Year to All

Sugar I scraped my knee today......

when I fell for you.

What's up lately Christos? I'd like to know what you decide.

Still prayin' for you.

[Christos]

I have just logged onto this forum again because I have had a terrible day.

I slept 19 hours, thus missing school entirely , the worst bit is that I now feel like midnight is midday .


Any way I had a dream:

I have always believed that dreams are more than just fantasies but here is my dream. It is so vivid I could draw it in pictures for you.
Stuff written in italics was not in the dream but may be a reflection or a commentary of the dream.


I was with my family, including my dad who was divorced over 5 years ago.
We were leaving an amusement park and walked to the carpark instead of taking the monorail.
My mum had an argument with my dad and my sister went missing.


It turned out that my sister went to live in the church.
(I have been praying a lot for my sister so this might be a prophecy of her acceptance of Christ).

I went to the church in which my sister was living in.
There were three churches.


One huge gothic cathedral-like church in a sandstone colour. Immense in height and beauty.

That is strange, I just looked up "Sandstone cathedral" on google and got "Ripon Cahedral" which is a cathedral which looks very similar to that in my dream and is very near to where we live.

There was also two other churches, one small white church, and another fancy cathedral in which lived my sister.
These three churches (don't ask me why there were three of them, I guess it might be to do with the three temples or it might simply be because three is a nice number) were all stood by the coast, all next to each other. With the small simple white church in the middle of the two towering cathedrals.

The other large cathedral was white, and was similar to either Westminster abbey or the Salt lake temple. I remember mainly on the outside of this cathedral like building that it had a series of six domed pinacles at the east facade.


(I think we all know what the Salt lake temple looks like )

In between these two great cathedral like buildings was a smaller building. Similar to this:

My sister was letting people in the church and then when I entered it was the time to close the church. The people would not leave.
After walking round with her we walked onto the roof of that church. And we looked out onto the sea, there were many ships there.
There were many people on the roof also.
It was on the roof that I saw the six white domed pinacles.


End of dream.


I'm not sure what this dream meant or if it was relevant but the three churches could mean the trinity.
The small white church could symbolise the small church of the chosen few of Jesus Christ. Jesus was a humble man so his church isn't on a huge scale like that of the other two, also he was clothed in white after the transfiguration as well as white being the colour of righteousness.

The other two churches were immense in comparison and could describe God and the holy spirit.
There were many people in the large white cathedral-like building.





I think this is probably very irrelevent to this topic.
But I have many dreams and can see and remember them very well.
When I prayed for a pagan friend of mine to accept Christ I had a dream where I went with him into the new jerusalem so he could talk to a man. The very next day in reality he had left paganism. And thought of it as a waste of his life.




I still do however think that I am going to stay away from the church of LDS just for the time being.
God has called me to many places, showed me many things and showered me with many gifts.
I don't want to do something out of my own heart, I submit myself to his command.

Don't leave it like that, Christos.
You tasted truth, and you liked it for awhile.
Satan tries his hardest to stop you now.

If you do decide to leave... think kinder on our religion next time.

After these testimonies come the testimonies of fire and of tempest. (It's in 3rd Nephi... but I will only paraphrase)

I'm not saying you'll die soon or anything... but this world is a crazy place. Bad things happen all the time.

Find the truth, Christos. Look hard and look deep. It's closer than you think. You've already taken your first steps... and here is where you are most vernerable. It is here you must not turn back.

I'd be glad to help you with any questions... and if you wish it, I will accompany you on this journey.

Know this though... that the path you started to walk was one of truth, and mightier beings than I will support you.

Sincerly,
Val

The best way to find out what is right is to read the bible, pray, and ask God to lead you. No one seeking Christ is ever sent away.

John 6:37
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

I think that you should be open to other religions and beliefs. Maybe the reason that you have trouble with that aspect, it was for a reason. Maybe it really isn't true. Just a thought. Just keep an open mind

[dwellingmissy]

i'm lds n have been inactive for 4 nearlly 5 years. my family are very strong inthe church all i no is i'm coming back!!!!!!!! the church of jesus christ is the most organised of all churchs. everyone has a place everyone is at church on sundays for a reason i had a blast growing up with this church being my foundation and i regret slipping away and missing so much. and now while i'm trying to get on the right path and finding christ again i come on here an got support from people i only met this wk online. its not a cult and theres never any pressure from our missionaries either which i think you should enquire about some visits! the elders from our ward have visited us over these 5yrs n they dont teach me direct as i ask them not to but they brought the spirit into my home and just came for dinner left us with a brief spiritual thought and thats it. so i really think u should get the elders round you dont have to sign on the dotted line.... worth a try x

[Christos]

We have had the elders coming round to the house for about two months now and I have been going to the church for most of that time but I decided to leave.

By the way I was just browsing the internet when I came across this picture:


That church is almost identical to the one in my dream.
It is tall, white and I wonder if there are six of those white towers on it.

The fret work on the windows is something I distincly remember as well as the whitness of it and the general shape.


That church is the Mari Girgis Coptic church (of St George) (in Egypt.)


It refers to a news story in October 22 2005.
About Christian persecution:

According to reports from U.S. Copts informants at the St. George Church, since 12:00 PM CMT over 10,000 Muslim protestors have flooded the streets outside the building, trapping inside the church three priests and 70-100 Coptic youth. The protestors, armed with Molotov cocktails and other weapons, brandished copies of the Qur’an and demanded that St. George priest Father Antonious convert to Islam.

Officials deployed approximately 1,000 soldiers from the Egyptian army and seventy armored vehicles to help subdue the mob. Soldiers released tear gas and fired live bullets to disperse the thousands chanting in the streets.

Friday’s protests come after initial street protests one week earlier and the Wednesday stabbing of a Coptic nun by a Muslim student.

It's very sad.

Why does it always seem to be the Muslim community that are so violent




I'll be going to my two other churches tomorrow.

christos,

things never happen instantly. it will take you a while to find what you beleive to be the true church. it all comes when you are ready. pray, study your scriptures, visit alot of diferent churches, and have faith. i belleive that the lord will guide you in the wright path!
