@nerthos sleep well!
-
I think I need to get my jaw checked soon if if doesn't stop hurting.

@oracle I think folks are afraid to make themselves vulnerable enough to truly establish close friendships. I know I often am.
-
@nerthos Very well then. In the past I've met the requirement of talking extensively with God about personal matters through senses beyond sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.
-
@nerthos what you seemed to infer is that it's not possible to know a person without seeing them. I simply disagree.
-
@nerthos In my faith a soul becomes mortal only once including Christ's soul. God the Father and Christ are separate entities as well as the Holy Ghost yet they're all one in purpose.
-
@ceruleanspark love begets love which requires the creation of others like one's self. This isn't exactly canon, but it's what I've come to understand.
-
@nerthos I've known Him, but I believe I've done a poor job at staying in touch. I try and I fail often to be completely worthy, but I can't deny, and in fact I can't sit idle when my witness is questioned of certain truths.

this is fun.

@ceruleanspark He himself is immovable. His task is to raise us up to be like himself. In a manner of speaking yes.
-
@nerthos in order to receive a commandment to kill one must personally know God.
-
@nerthos of course, a personal revelation to kill always trumps
-
@nerthos It completely depends on the intention of the one killing. Fortunately God is a perfect judge.
-
@nerthos oh yeah. The Law of Moses was a bit stiff that way, but Christians believe it was fulfilled and a higher law given that requires forgiveness for thievery.
-
@ceruleanspark On the other hand there is an example in the Book of Mormon where the people had sworn to God that they would not kill any more (because of their past bloodlust) and they went to kneel and be slaughtered on the battle field before their enemies stopped part-way through.
-
@nerthos kinda.. I don't recall the specifics any more, but honestly it takes a lot of faith to slaughter perfectly usable livestock for no known reason beyond God's command through a prophet.
-
@nerthos and other less extreme cases where he just commanded them to take over a land by force with mortal violence as needed.
-
@nerthos and the people were punished for failing to obey.
-
@nerthos I'm thinking specifically in the Old Testament when God commanded Israel to utterly wipe out populations, man, woman, child, and livestock all.
-
@hoit I suppose if he said he actually wanted to kill all religious icons, then I'd agree. I'm thinking Cerulean just wants answers to hypotheticals though.
-
@ceruleanspark We can't say, which is why, in my faith, we rely on personal divine revelation, and sometimes more general prophetic revelation for God's people as a whole. There are several examples given in the Book of Mormon and Bible that can serve as general guidelines, but we're not supposed to rely on our own judgement to determine when to end another's life. That is a mortal sin.
-
Even if he says he's serious, I wouldn't take it as an offense. I think it's an interesting discussion with valid questions.
-
@ceruleanspark Muder is a sin, but not killing. There is a distinct difference.
