Is 'Big Love' A TV Sequel To This Movie?

I think that all the LDS critics need to pay attention to this post. You are all whining about "show me evidence" and junk like that. If you believe in the Bible which I dont know that you do as you never use scriptuaral references in your asinine arguments. So let's pretend that you at least believe in God and the Bible, if you dont then stop bashing those of us that do. Here is a quick lesson that Paul teaches us in the Bible.

When speaking to the Corinthians, Paul reminds them that he did not preach the gospel to them using "words of wisdom." As he points out, "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek aftger wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;..." 1 Cor. 1:19-23. The "foolishness of is wiser than men," writes Paul, and so God has chosen the weak of the earth to preach the gospel, that no man may lift himself up in pride at his own wisdom.

Conversion does not come through "enticing words of man's wisdom,"--the power of rhetoric in which the Greeks prided themselves--but rather "in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but the power of God" ! Cor. 2:4-5. In other words, the Corinthians were not persuaded to believe in Christ through a slick pitch or through logically airtight argumentation. Continuing his attack on rhetoric, Paul writes, "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power" 1 Cor. 4:20.

Knowledge of the truth comes not through rational means, as the Greeks would maintain, but rather through the revelation of the Spirit: "for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but whcih the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." 1 Cor:10-13

The Greek believers should abandon their worship of worldly wisdom: "If any man among you seemeth to be sies in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For wisdome of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men" 1 Cor. 3:18-21. In place of worldly wisdom, the Christian should seek for those sprirtual gifts which can edify the body of Christ, i.e. the Church 1 Cor. 12-14.

God will hold us accountable for the stewardship he has given us over our bodies. These are "temples" through wich we worship him; therefore, sexual impurity and overindulgence of all physical appetites are condemned.

Another important principle that I am trying to live better is found in Romans where Paul tells the Roman saints to live together peaceably, to love on another and to treat one another with equanimity Rom. 12-15. He reminded them, as he did the Corinthians, that the body of Christ has many members, each one possessing a different gift which benefits all other members of the community. Those who would cause divisions are to be avoided, "For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly" Rom. 16:17-18.

So hitchcock and all others who tear down my beliefs, you are not doing anything new or even remotely original. Paul shot down your futile arguments and they do not suddenly work now. This is how I believe we are supposed to teach and uplift, so why cant you show me Biblical refereces about anything that I believe that go contrary to what is taught there? I think it is that you really dont care about me, you just think you will be able to trick others into not finding out more about God's plan. But if we remember to ask the Lord, NO MAN will be able to persuade us and we can know the will of God. So, please stop the bashing and maybe try to help build up and edify, that is what Christ taught and what Paul obviously taught as well.
