    sooo… what kind of rewards? Like a bigger mansion in heaven?

    Luke 12:47-48 question

    so your saying these stripes are earthly punishments, not eternal?

    Luke 12:47-48 question

    Since the apostate will be condemned for eternal destruction, does that mean there is a lesser hell for the ignorant atheist? What would “fewer stripes” mean for him?

    Luke 12:47-48 question

    yes… but what does this look like in Application? Compare a seminary student, who also grew up in the church, chooses to abandon the faith to an atheist who never really learned about Christ. The apostate seminary student will be punished with more stripes than the atheist who never really...

    Luke 12:47-48 question

    I understand this completely. Im asking about the punishment itself. What will the larger punishment be over the lesser? I thought hell was hell. Will the person who someone who sins in ignorance go to hell for a short period time and then to heaven? Or will it be a less hot lake of fire?

    Luke 12:47-48 question

    47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be...

    Hello from Utah!

    the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practices repentance, baptism and confirmation of the Holy Ghost. What specific requirements do you put on acts 2:38 to suggest that our church doesn’t meet the requirements? Why exactly do you claim us to be “acts skippers”?

    Hello from Utah!

    yep! Then I answered that question and asked you a question… I believe this is called a conversation.

    Hello from Utah!

    You told me you did research on all these topics and decided to leave the church… yet here you are asking a question you said you already studied about.

    Hello from Utah!

    Oh good so you should know that the church says about this since you did research. Why did you ask then?

    What does it mean to have a relationship with God?

    I absolutely love this! I h try as often as I can to act in faith, but I think where I lack the most is being vulnerable in my prayer. Kind of like who it is awkward to share difficulties with a friend, I don’t do that with God, or at least I don’t do that with the ferver I ought to.

    Question on creation and judgement

    Do you believe God did not know who would trust him when he made them? Did he willfully create a person that would not trust him?

    Question on creation and judgement

    The only criticizing I’m doing is current explanations of this question. Whatever it ends up being, I’ll buy it. I’m happy with the “we don’t know” answer. But any and all explanations I have heard on this topic seem to fall short

    Question on creation and judgement

    I wouldn’t say I am questioning his ways, because we don’t know them. You can only be a critic of something you know or have witnessed. I don’t know why God does what he does. I am, however, criticizing current explanations of this question.
