    I think you need to read that again. "I believe in the Lord Jesus" Really! I am shocked! Is that the point at all?

    Psalms I said, “You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High. John 10:34 Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? So what is Paul speaking about when he speaks about adoption….three legged step children?

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    My faith is NOT in the Bible. It is in the Lord Jesus Christ, who created the universe. If He can do that, then He can write a Book and make sure that it's translated correctly. lol Which Bible? All of them correct at once? I do not have to tell you that the Jehovah Witnesses carry Bibles that...

    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    You can look at the Mosaic Law on the restriction of Jewish women marrying Pagans. Still I believe a divorced Jewish woman that wanted to marry would usually only have choices among the Pagans. Now depending on the power and position of her Pagan husband, that would probably reflect on how she...

    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    It was nearly a death sentence because Jewish men as rule only married virgins. A Jewish woman marrying a Pagan would be a very bad thing, she would have been shunned by all other Jews and by Mosaic Law probably would have been executed. Of course divorced women back then did not have any rights...

    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    1. Christ is talking to Jews 2. Christ did indicate that women could divorce their husbands. 3. No such Law in Judaism 4. The whole divorce topic completely flabbergasted His apostles. 5. This would mean that this would be a "New Law" .... 6. No biblical or historical indication that it...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Sabbath is always Saturday. As we see today Passover is calculated on the cycle of the moon. A similar calculation is used for Easter, that is why the day Easter falls on, moves from year to year. The Passover could be any day of the week...one per year. That year Passover fell on the Sabbath...
