Questions for Christians (3)

9) a) this is a really good question that I do not honestly know the exact answer but I believe that they would repent when they got up to judgment because I believe that homosexuality is another one of the trials that some people have to face in this life. b) people go to hell only if they have a perfect knowledge of the gospel and of God and of Christ and they still make the decision to follow the devil, that is the only way someone goes to outer darkness. c) I assume you mean about who goes to hell and whatnot and to answer that question I first have to say that in my religion we have another Book we know to be true called the Book of Mormon that is sort of like the bible but it is better translated and more reverent to us today and it answers a lot of these questions much better than the bible does. 10) a) he tests our faith because we came to this earth so that we could attempt to become like our father and inherit all that he has but we must prove our worth to do so. b) In my religion we believe in the king james translation and even that is not translated completely correctly but in mine it says and Jesus answered saying unto him it is said though shall not tempt thy God. Jesus is saying this to the devil because the devil was trying to test God if you will and Jesus said though shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve. God is a perfect being and we are not so we can't try and tempt him. I hope this answered your question but if not just tell me and I'll expound. c) God doesn't ruin their lives but they are either needed up in heaven for missionary work up there or God could be just letting them come home so they don't have to live here any longer. 11) In mine it words it a bit different but that is just your way of interpreting it, that is why God gave us the Book of Mormon, I interpret that scripture to mean if people won't heed your words don't worry to much about it and go and teach others for when judgment day comes they will know that the words you said are true. 12) if the teacher doesn't help you it isn't out of cruelty it is because they know what you need and we don't so it may seem now like it isn't fair if one child lives while another dies so sometimes people say that God is not fair but rather God has a perfect knowledge and we don't and he knows that they might be needed up in heaven or he doesn't want them to have to face more trials in their life or it could be to strengthen the testimony of others they knew. and yes God helps you even if you don't believe in him, you only have to look around at all the things we have to see our blessings. 13) It isn't saying that people in Syria are not blessed at all, rather I am saying that while they may have trials from a lack of material things while I have different trials and temptations. It is not a question of what is fair and what is not rather God just knows what people need and that's what the people who live there needed to overcome whether they know it or not. 14) That's not the reason I believe in God, I believe in God because I have asked and prayed and received confirmation. just because some people explain the universe with a theory doesn't mean that it is the only thing that can be true. I believe (once again this is personal belief) that the big bang theory is mans way of attempting to understand Gods actions. I know that we came to this earth so that we can return to God and receive what he has, (I have to leave soon and I don't know how long until I can get on a computer again so I am sorry that is so brief but ill explain better in the next period). and no God didn't talk to me personally although there are people that he has talked to, I received confirmation from the Holy Ghost. (I'll explain this better as well). 15/16) because God is perfect and has a perfect knowledge he cannot do any wrong, so while I am pretty sure he would never ask me to do that I would know that if he did he did it because he knows that it must happen for the good of everybody. 17) once again this is why we have the book of Mormon, the Bible has been mistranslated and now much of it is left to interpretation, I believe that this is saying he didn't come to fix everyone's problems, rather he came to tell us what needed to be done. 18) this is a question that I have no idea how to answer the first part, there are probably people who could but I am not one of them, even if I had the chance to learn the answer I personally probably wouldn't want to. I believe for the reasons specified above. 19) not very intensively but yes, and because I prayed and received my answer from God. 20) once again I am super sorry but I am running out of time and I don't know when I can get back on so if a forfeit a round Ill either answer in the comments or just send a message. and try looking at some of these websites, in my church many of the youth go on service missions to wherever they get called for 2 years to preach the gospel and people with physical handicaps or health concerns who can not safely go out of country or to another state will teach the gospel online and they are more knowledgeable than I am so ill keep answering your questions but if you aren't satisfied with my answer or want a more educated one try looking at these links https://www.lds.org... if you go to that website you should be able to find more answers to your questions. thanks a bunch, ill answer everything I didn't have time to do in the next round, I hope I can keep helping to answer.
