Trader joes has wet food that isn't too stinky in my opinion.

I really think that the food is related to her health problems. There are two brands of food that I have found to be very reasonably priced compared to the low quality foods.

I am sure the smaller bags are comparable. Just look around and compare, avoid grains as the first ingredients. Avoid by-products or any "meats" where they don't specify what kinds. Look for specific meats as the first few ingredients chicken, turkey, etc.

At least the first one or two, ideally three. If wet food smells turn your stomach, there is a brand, I think it is Merricks. They make some wet foods that actually look and smell pretty good.

One is called Grammy's Pot Pie and that is exactly what it looks like Pot Pie! They are really not all that bad. You should look into that since wet food is really healthy.

I feel kind of bad about this whole food thing. Their coats were shiny, they were healthy About two years ago, I started to notice that the CatChow was simply not doing the job.

I now have the whole family on KittenChow again, and their coats are shiny, only one has dandruff and that is the Maine Coon and nobody looks like a walking football.

I tried contacting Purina and asking them what the hell happened. They treated me like I had two screws loose and was 9 cans shy of a six-pack. Aside from the by-products which if you REALLY got into them would simply make you sick, I'm not sure about the grains they use because of the genetic modification issues.

I just feel so badly for my babies, I mean they are OK now, but I have the feeling I am going to need to change them again. Joined May 11, Messages 8, Purraise I feed my kids the wet Meow Mix, but only feed them high-quality dry like Nutro. If you go through the ingredients, you'll find a lot of things that a cat's body can't use and you'll also find a huge amount of processing and preserving and general artificial-ness.

This recipe begins with two corn ingredients — ground yellow corn and corn gluten meal. After chicken by-product meal, we return to the plant theme with soybean meal, which is often used as a high-protein animal feed. The recipe includes multiple artificial colors.

The food contains chicken by-product meal, chicken, animal fat, dried egg product, and natural flavor. Both corn meal and corn grits are prominent on the ingredient list.

The recipe also includes brewers rice, a rice by-product made from milled rice kernel fragments. Little Friskies was the first dry food made specifically for cats. The brand was acquired by Nestle in If you only pay attention to their selection of wet food, Friskies is nutritionally superior to some other products at a similar price. The wet foods are superior to the dry ones — they offer necessary moisture and contain lower concentrations of plant ingredients.

On the other hand, Friskies dry food uses generous amounts of corn, along with other suboptimal inclusions like artificial colors. Like most other Purina products, Friskies is manufactured in the United States from primarily North American ingredients.

Friskies was recalled in due to potential salmonella contamination. Only Friskies Grillers Blend dry cat food was affected by the recall. The food is packed with grains and other plant ingredients. The first ingredient is ground yellow corn, followed by corn gluten meal. Soybean meal is also included. Most of the meat ingredients are vaguely named; the recipe includes chicken by-product meal, beef tallow, meat and bone meal, ocean fish meal, animal liver flavor, salmon meal, and crab meal.

While most foods use natural flavor additives, this one uses artificial flavors. Most formulas are laden with plant ingredients and fillers.

Fancy Feast canned is still a decent cat food. Low grade brands such as Friskies and fancy feast still work well as mentioned in the article. My expectation is Purina Pro plan and certain Hills products do a good job but as mentioned in the article they can also tend to be subpar.

Neighborhood Watch Apr.

Analysis : It's clearly written that karna killed his own troops. The troops that belonged to the side that he was fighting for. The Kauravas. Yet some karna fans will cry saying that the gods were confounding them, they should know it does not change the fact that karna killed his own soldiers.

These incidents were before and after what the troops said too, so he killed his army three times on the 14th day alone itself. He would be court martialed and imprisoned for such a war crime. Analysis : Now don't say that the pandavas were just watching as helpless ducks, they all understood the truth that Yudhishthira had sent a messenger to Draupadi and that this was a part of his plan to get them freedom without breaking vows.

Karna was totally out of line with his conduct in this incident. Analysis : Perhaps karna had an identity crisis and wanted to ccopy the Rakshasas in their form of fighting. He knew he could not stand a chance against warrior like Bhima without the use of maya.

Karna had no respect for ethics in war. Screenshot to prove that "Madra" is in modern-day Punjab :. Analysis : I wonder how the blood of Punjabis does not boil upon reading what karna said about their ancestors. Karna's views on the kingdoms of the indian sub-continent during the iron age were very disgusting barbaric views, akin to a terrorist's.

Madra kingdom is in eastern punjab. Karna is not cruel hearted.. After all even Kunti never loved him.. So I feel every character in Mahabharat has its good and bad side. No one was perfect but I somehow have a soft corner for Karna. That way even Bhisma can be said to be cruel hearted.. Yes, pandavas could have had their flaws - hence karmically ordained to undergo 'vanvas', 'agnaatha vaas', 'draupadi vastrabaharanam' and so forth ISIS extremists may be good to one another amongst themselves, may practice 'true brotherhood' amongst themselves, but they are EVIL and their goodness does not count.

JR said:. Click to expand Well-known member. My Answer is a bit long, please read it with patience. No one puts it better than the great Tamil poet, Kannadasan. Further down, Krishna himself says manniththu arulvaayada"! Disowned by his own mother Insulted by his own brothers Respected by so called villains Wronged by the Lord Himself A good-natured man sees such fate When the Lord himself chose not to protect him who will believe in Goodness?

When goodness itself is being ignored. By the very Incarnation of Lord Who tried to spread goodness in this world. Karna was indeed the most noble of them all. Such was the ocean of goodness within him that he gifted it away to the world before he died. A symbol of perfection that beats the very Lord Krishna Himself.

Look at his death itself. Arjuna killed him up on the advice of Krishna when his chariot wheel gets trapped in a gutter! An ultimate tragedy of life! A virtuous person from whom his protective armour gets snatched away by fraudulence of Indra king of Devas and the biological father of Arjuna first and then by own biological mother! Karna discarded by his mother, family, ended up getting used up or cheated by Gods even at the time of his death, he was a trusted friend, supported his friends even in war, skilled he was, but why did the good lord Sri.

Krishna chooses to kill him like that, because he knew how skilled karna was and what destruction he could bring. Karna is a complex and interesting person, known to be a very noble, courageous and kind person in the Mahabharata, and everyone including Sri. Krishna Himself, except Dhuryodhana, the so-called most evil person in the story, wronged him.

Karna was a great human being and the one and only known threat to Arjuna when it came to archery or when it came to winning the hand of Draupadi. Draupati also insulted him in Swayamwara questioning his birth, but seeing his Kundalam, she should have understood about his birth. This insult made Karna never to forget Druapati's arrogance.

It is said that Karna told a lie to his guru Parasuma, to learn the knowledge of Yudha; can I ask you one simple question? Seeing his Kavacham, and Kundalam, being a great Ghani do you not think Parasuma should have seen his real caste? Are Yudhishtira and Arjuna the epitomes of Dharma, when their noble birth only fills them with contempt and fear towards Karna because he is just as good despite being born in a lower caste?

There was goodness in him and at no cost was it going to display itself towards the Pandavas. Through all these insults that Karna had to live through, Kunti maintains absolute silence. Therefore how do we judge goodness? Do we say Karna was wrong because he joined the Kauravas because at that moment between Yudhistira the epitome of goodness and Dharma and Dhuryodhana the most evil , it was Dhuryodhana who stretched out a friendly hand?

Now is that not goodness, irrespective of Karna's background? It is said that Karna often played the game of dice with Dhuryodhana's wife. It was one of those games where she found herself losing and decided to get up and go when Karna pulled her back to the game to finish it. It was at this moment that the pearl chain along her waist gave way and fell to the floor scattering all the pearls.

Fatefully Dhuryodhana enters the room at this time and tells her to continue to play the game while he picks up the pearls; he also asks her whether he should string them. This move of Dhuryodhana shows clearly that not only did he trust his wife; he also had complete confidence in his friend, a friend he had made out of merit and not by birth or royalty. Karna at this point makes a decision that he would never leave Dhuryodhana's side no matter what happened.

It is said Karna on Dronacharya's advice shattered Abhimanyu's bow by firing arrows from behind him, and broke the Rule of War! What a misconception!! It is in fact, only Pandavas broke the Rule of War supported by Sri. Krishna much earlier than this in more dubious way more than once: 1. Finally the Great Bheema hit Duruyodana on his thighs using his mace which is against all rules of Mace fighting.

Is this too not breaking the rule of Mice fighting? Even Sri. Balarama could not digest this and protested, but as usual Sri. We cannot single out Karna for his mistakes.

Everyone made mistakes and everyone has behaved very "human" in the Mahabharata, and not God like Every Gods have wronged him including Sri. Krishna who did not leave him even at the time of his death by chasing him from his previous birth by taking all his puniyam!!!! Naryana tried to take away his Kavachas This was my post in Yahoo answers.

Was Karna Good or Bad The question is not about how Velukkudi made a fabulous living , it is about Karna , whether he is good or bad. Even in his previous birth Sri Krishna in the Form of Sri. So, ultimately, was Karna good or bad?

JR, I have stopped diving people into good and bad.. I would always like to hear both sides and make my judgement. Today we feel ISIS is evil but evil need not be in the form of killing alone. Our own Hindu culture has promoted the evil of discrimination that had led to the death of many Dalits in the past and now. So ISIS is instant poison.. Discrimination is Slow Poison..

Dear PJ ji, I will read your post and come back to you if I have questions. I appreciate your effort and knowledge in providing a reply to my query. Arjuna was pestering Krishna, asking him why Karna should be considered a role model for all Danas donations and not himself. Krishna, wanting to teach him a lesson snapped his fingers. The mountains beside the path they were walking on turned into gold. Krishna said "Arjuna, distribute these two mountains of gold among the villagers, but you must donate every last bit of gold".

Arjuna went into the village, and proclaimed he was going to donate gold to every villager, and asked them to gather near the mountain. The villagers sang his praises and Arjuna walked towards the mountain with a huffed up chest. For two days and two continuous nights Arjuna shovelled gold from the mountain and donated to each villager. The mountains did not diminish in their slightest. Most villagers came back and stood in queue within minutes.

After a while, Arjuna, started feeling exhausted, but not ready to let go of his ego just yet, told Krishna he couldn't go on any longer without rest.

Krishna called Karna. Karna called two villagers. Arjuna sat dumbfounded. Why hadn't this thought occurred to him? Krishna smiled mischievously and told him "Arjuna, subconsciously, you yourself were attracted to the gold, you regretfully gave it away to each villager, giving them what you thought was a generous amount. Thus the size of your donation to each villager depended only on your imagination. Karna holds no such reservations. Look at him walking away after giving away a fortune, he doesn't expect people to sing his praises, he doesn't even care if people talk good or bad about him behind his back.

Arjuna had killed Karna's son, Vrishasena, in order to make Karna experience the pain that he himself had borne when Abhimanyu was brutally executed. It was his myopic desires that made him sign in for the war and it was only because of his indubitable support that Duryodhan actually initiated a war.

Yes, the life of Karna was full of struggle and repeated insults and it is true that he deserves all the respect for what all he achieved but he was arrogant and ignorant at times and despite repeated requests by Lord Krishna and his own mother Kunti he refused to leave the side of evil Kauravas.

It refers to righteousness and the ability to differentiate whether we seek revenge or we seek justice forms this fine line of Dharma.

Karna obviously failed to identify this line. Karna, an abandoned child of Kunti is brought up by a Suta a charioteer and despite his unparalleled attempts to raise his social status in the society, he is disgraced at every step. A disheartened Karna, eager to earn societal respect joins hands with the evil Duryodhana and in an attempt to challenge the social complexities of that era, loses his own conscience.

These cough exercises should also help clear your throat. Jaws — Exercise your jaws and mouth by gently separating the lower and upper jaws with your fingers from your cheeks.

Massage that gap in circular motions while gently opening and closing your mouth. Do a few more repetitions. Afterwards, stretch your upper and lower jaws sideways, in opposite directions, as you would with a pair of scissors. You will feel the muscles snap in and out as you do that. Shoulders — Body tension is felt mostly in the shoulders. A lot of tension and pain in the shoulders is a clear symptom of bad posture. And usually bad posture stems from failing to properly relax your shoulders before and during singing.

Simply raise your shoulders and keep them hunched for up to five seconds before dropping and relaxing them. Repeat this a couple more times. While your shoulders are hunched you could also stretch your neck sideways a couple of times to release tension from there as well.

Lip trills — What you do with your lips determines how your voice sounds as it leaves your mouth. Relax the muscles in your lips by doing up to ten lip trills. Simply close and pout your lips as loosely as you can.

Let them vibrate by exhaling and letting air out through them. This should produce a buzzing sound, which will warm both your lips and voice. Repeat several times for greater effect. Hums — While lip trills warm the lips, humming is great for exercising and warming the throat.

To produce the humming sound, close both your mouth and throat and gently force air from your lungs into your mouth while holding your breath. Prolong the action as long as you can before finally stopping to exhale. Do the same exercise a few more times, and then a couple more with your mouth open. Sing from the nose — With your mouth closed, arch the roof of your mouth as if you are trying to force words out through your nose.

As you do that, try to reproduce the humming sound from the exercise above. Give it up to five sweeps, increasing pitch a few decibels higher and even lower with each rep. Any activity that demands physical exertion requires you to properly prepare your body. You would not expect a football player to run onto the field, for kick off, right off the team bus. They should first warm the muscles with gentle stretches before the tough tackling of the game itself.

So it should be for singers, because singing, though not as strenuous, is also physical activity. Going straight to belting high tempo notes without any warm up will strain your voice and pretty much every muscle involved in its production. Show your vocal folds and body some love by warming up every time before you sing. Your voice will be clearer, muscles relaxed, and your musical senses wide awake.

The diaphragm is a muscle between your chest and your belly that governs how much air you inhale and exhale when you breathe. The vibrations are caused by air being pushed out of your lungs. Your diaphragm is what controls the pushing and is responsible for putting power behind your voice. A hissing breath exercise is a great way to start when learning how to warm up your voice before singing. This technique forces vocalists to sing from their diaphragms and improves breath control.

Once you build more lung capacity and get comfortable with this exercise, you can breathe in for a seven count and exhale for a 12 count. After vocal warm-ups and singing, it is essential that you also cool down your voice. You can use the same vocal exercises you used during your warm-up, starting with the most intense and working down to the least intense. Simply using the humming vocal exercise will also allow your voice to cool down and relax.

Following these tips will keep your voice strong and allow you to perform at your best. These quick and easy vocal warm-ups will refine your technique, build your vocal power and control, and help expand your vocal range.

At School of Rock, our trained vocal instructors teach students all aspects of singing, including warm-ups and other vocal techniques that thousands of professional singers use every day to keep their voices in shape and sounding their best.

Lip buzz Vocal warm-up As far as vocal warm-ups go, lip buzz or lip trill, as it is sometimes called is very simple. Tongue trill exercise The tongue trill vocal exercise is difficult for some singers. Jaw Loosening ExerciseS When singing, you want to drop your jaw lower than when you are just talking.

Sing from Your Diaphragm When singing, it is vitally important to use proper breathing techniques to avoid hurting your voice. What is your diaphragm? Practice Makes Permanent, and if you practice regular warm-ups before you sing as well as on off days you will be a better singer in every way. Singing is one of the most natural things in the world. But, developing a strong, adept voice takes work! The sound of your voice is the result of many things, most of which you have a lot of control over….

Hi Singers. A friend of ours who is currently finishing her degree in voice asked: I have heard several times a singer must drink water to keep the voice hydrated. My question…. Most of us are almost done with the big Christmas productions. Unfortunately, many are also coughing and having trouble hearing due to head congestion. Winter season at least…. Like most days, today I have also given a little thought to the human larynx.

That is why every time a pilot checks in with a new air traffic controller, the local altimeter calibration is necessary. The altimeter indicates how high the airplane is above sea level by calculating the difference between the pressure in the aneroid wafers and the atmospheric pressure fed into the static port. So, what is the difference between pressure altitude vs. Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for temperature and humidity.

For example, an airplane could be taking off from a sea level airport on the coast of Florida, and yet if it is hot and humid, the density altitude could be as high as 5, feet, in which case the airplane, even at sea level, requires a longer takeoff run and has a reduced rate of climb.

Density altitude is calculated as part of the pre-flight preparation process. Pilots need to know density altitude because it reflects air density. The less the air density at high altitudes in hot weather, the less lift is generated over the wings. Having this information can help the pilot prepare for an aircraft underperforming in such conditions. Pilots might need to fly with fewer bags or people, or even delay the flight if it seems the runway is not long enough to have a sufficiently long takeoff roll.

But these only work below 2, feet or so, and only the biggest planes have them. Pretty much every aircraft has a sensitive altimeter onboard. It also means that, depending on how that altimeter is set, it could read any number of things. In most cases, they want the indicated altitude to be the true altitude. When they look at airports, mountain ranges, or get an altitude from air traffic control, everything is referencing the true altitude.

The problem with this is that the air pressure changes as the weather changes. Throughout the day, the altimeter setting will change from higher to lower as air masses move around in the atmosphere. During the flight, a pilot must update their altimeter setting periodically to ensure the altimeter continues to show an accurate reading.

Whenever a new air traffic controller is contacted, the controller gives the current altimeter setting for the area. Certain standards in aviation were created simply for standardization. This could then be used as a baseline for aircraft performance. Of course, in real life, there are few normal days.

Air pressure and temperature change with the weather. But someone had to draw a line somewhere. The line drawn is known as the standard datum plane SDP. The standard conditions at sea level are

Breaking down the Jazz vs. These BYU researchers set out to improve flip phones. The nearest Mr Herman gets to suggesting anyone taking advantage of the disaster is when he speculates that a black economy in rationed goods may rise up. The idea that the Japanese are acting in some way against the grain in an emergency situation is challenged by columnist Johann Hari in the UK's Independent.

He says the panicking disaster victim is a myth. He argues that in reality the vast majority of people behave in the aftermath as altruists, saving their fellow human beings and sharing what they have.

He goes on to say the same predictions are made about every disaster. But the opposite is the case. And they didn't just loot food or necessities, but big screen TVs and other "must have" household appliances.

Some plausible reasons for looting are: panic, greed, and because everyone else is doing it. Looting has become the norm, the expected. One person suggested the Japanese didn't loot because they had more faith in their government to provide for them during a crisis.

I doubt it. Others suggested it is the "wa" mentality, where harmony of the group is put above the individual. Another person suggested it was somehow related to the fact that the Japanese return lost items -- giving an expose on how lost things are most always returned to their owners in Japan, including wallets, cash and umbrellas.

I might add that there is an incentive in Japan to turn things in -- if no one claims the item, you have the rights to it. Thus, you get to feel like a hero for turning it in and have a chance to keeping it legally. When I turned in a wallet one time, the policeman told me that I was entitled to a reward from the owner if he came in to claim it. Unfortunately, the owner was a high school student who didn't have any money in his wallet anyway.

Pasqual Jr. In grade school, lunch is free, but often "spartan," and kids learn to expect and deal with lean times. This unfathomable calamity is one of those times, and "the instilling of that value or attitude seems to be paying off. The Japanese are no strangers to hardship: The easy answer is that the "legendary politeness" of the Japanese people is simply shining through, says Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker , but that's only part of what's happening. Japanese society has been honed over generations into a system "capable of ensuring order and good behavior.

Every degree program at Luther College offers a study abroad option and an optional experiential learning component where you gain real world experience and get paid while going to school! Luther students are U of R students and receive a U of R degree.

Luther College students are U of R students and receive all the same benefits. Upon graduation you will receive a U of R degree. Our student residence, The Student Village at Luther College , is a great place for student athletes to call home. The U of R Kinesiology Building is footsteps away with its Olympic size pool , gymnasium , and health centre.

To enroll as a Luther College student , simply fill out the University of Regina application form and select Luther as your campus of choice. Luther College appeals to students who want to study in a safe , nurturing , and inclusive environment. We welcome students of all faiths , ethnicities , backgrounds , religions , genders , and sexual orientations.

Luther College offers Bundles programs that group together first-year students and classes to give you a great start and help ease the transition from high school to university. The Saints, or Mormons as they are referred to by church outsiders, [1] assert that they are Christian as they believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible.

However, many outsiders do not agree. The fact that twenty-two percent of recently polled Americans would oppose voting for a Mormon for President causes one to wonder why there is such opposition to Mormonism in its country of origin. According to a standard dictionary definition of Christians "as believers and followers of Christ", Mormons are Christians.

Jan Shipps, a Methodist and noted scholar of Mormonism, is often asked whether she believes Mormons are Christians and responds with questions of whether the question is analytical, analogical, historiographical or theological and religious.

Only those who are on the receiving end of racism get to decide that. Not off topic; KathyBates brought up racism after all. A race base policy. Go beyond wikipedia, which is not a great source anyways. The birthrate of minorities has surpassed those of whites. And by Hispanics or Hispanic whites, if you wish are expected to surpass non-Hispanic whites in the population. Interesting article.. Instead, they persecute those who believe what they once believed themselves; in Biblical terms they are like Esau in the 25th chapter of Genesis; but they bought into American citizenship that way — and are as immoral as Jacob in denying basic life or liberty without payment.

Mormons in Utah do not prosecute polygamists at all. That is the fact. They excommunicate practicing polygamists. I am unaware of them actively seeking out polygamists, but it is considered a punishable offense within the modern church. As long as an excommunicated member is willing to make the necessary changes to their behavior, yes, they may be welcomed back into the church, often with full fellowship.

A man who I was once acquainted with had been excommunicated, but looked forward to the day when he could return to the church. I lost contact with him years ago, but it is my hope that he was able to satisfy this desire.

John, I appreciate your comment more than most. I am a Mormon, happy and unashamed. Two of my best friends are Wiccans. They are some of the brightest people I have ever known but just as your comment illustrates, there are many who make judgments about my faith because they simply do not know any better. Please allow me to edify you on the historical issue of polygamy as it relates to the Mormon faith. Polygamy was instituted in a time of dire need. Many families had lost their fathers, husbands and older brothers to any of thousands of uncontrolled factors.

The Mormon leadership instituted the practice of polygamy as a means of assigning responsibility for the well-being of these families to men who remained alive. They were tasked with leading and providing for people who were not originally theirs to care for. We often think of the benefits of polygamy as being without cost, and so immoral, but fail to consider the enormous cost and responsibility that gave rise to this practice among Mormons, so long ago.

When Mormons finally arrived and settled the Salt Lake Valley in Utah, the practice was continued for only about one or two generations before it was terminated. You are correct that one of many reasons for the discontinuation of the practice was that it was not generally approved of by the leaders of the US; and the Mormon leadership of the Utah territory wanted to be incorporated into the US.

However, make no mistake that it was not the primary reason for the cessation of polygamy. Mormons were finally settled. The population balance of male-to-female was being restored. Therefore, polygamy was no longer necessary. You have to eliminate the excess number of males in order to assign multiple females to one male. This creates an extreme abuse that anyone can see as wrong. I once questioned the issue of polygamy, like you and many others.

After much study, I discovered that my historical perspective of the practice of polygamy is much clarified. It was never an issue of Core Mormon Belief to utilize polygamy; but a practice that had specific purpose based on the needs of the time and place in which it was utilized. After the need had passed, the practice was correctly closed.

Those who use the practice beyond the need succeed only in abusing the practice for their own selfish benefit. To your post I would add the following: Plural marriage goes back to Old Testament times, when Abraham, Jacob, David and Moses where commanded by God to have more than one wife that God might raise up a people unto himself.

The doctrine that made it ok then is the same doctrine that made it ok for a short time when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was first being established. That doctrine is laid out in the Book of Mormon. Jacob reads as follows:. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts. As you can see, verse 30 explains that under certain circumstances the Lord has commanded plural marriage and gives his reason for doing so.

If polygamy was a legal and accepted practice today, the LDS would be practicing it. The simple reason the Salt Lake City branch of Mormonism abandoned the practice was to get church assets back from the U. With church assets seized by the government and the corporate entity dissolved, there was no church. The main reason for plural marriage being done away with was that the Lord had accomplished his purpose, and had raised up a people in these latter days to preach the everlasting gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue and people.

See Revelations Please note when you read this scripture that there would be no need for God to send this angel to preach the everlasting gospel to those who dwell on the earth if the gospel was still on the earth in its purity. The real reason Brother French is that Joseph got caught and thus got lynched for committing polygamy and polyandry. They have several podcasts on the subject. Joe and his sexual appetite for new partners creating a convenient revelation.

You are being sucked in if this is what you believe. I know, because my great grandfather, and his parents were there right from the start. Anyone who has attended our Gospel Doctrine classes and studied the revelations that Jesus Christ has given to the Church in these latter days should know that the New and Everlasting Covenant applies first and foremost to the covenant of marriage between a man, and a women. Naturally, that would include plural marriages authorized by God but would not be limited to those marriages.

Perhaps the following information will help you to become more familiar with our doctrine. Plural marriage goes back to Old Testament times, when Abraham, Jacob, etc.

As you can see, this doctrine is very clear, and verse 30 explains that under certain circumstances the Lord has commanded plural marriage and gives his reason for doing so. Please show me the text in the OT that states god commanded old testament prophets to participate in Polygamy. Joseph took polygamy and turned it into a commandment from the lord that one had to follow to be saved.

That is the major difference. Also you are supporting your argument with the BOM! Please support it with biblical passages not your own doctrine.

Last, I have re-read my comments on here and I want to say that I share my research and hope with you in love. I have not hate towards you or any LDS.

I would recommend reading a book by one of your own. A temple going faithful latter day saint named Todd Compton. After the manifesto, Woodruff, the 12 and many others still practiced and took wives for years afterwards. As I see it you are only using a portion of the scriptures the Bible and therefore your situation is like a Jury that has reached a verdict without hearing the defense witnesses latter-day scriptures.

To get that witness directly from God a person must seek to know the truth in the way that God has prescribed. It is my opinion that to switch from being a detractor of the Church to being a believer is very difficult. It requires a lot more effort on their part than someone who has not first staked out such a position. However, over the years I have heard many members say that they did succeed in doing so.

The following is how I personally think it must be approached. First and foremost a person must have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ or at least be willing to do those things that will develop that faith.

See James Second, a person must read and ponder the Book of Mormon, giving special attention to those chapters and verses concerning the atonement of Christ. See the list below. Third, he must ponder and be willing to apply the principles of the gospel as taught by the BOM into his life. See John Five, he must attend all our church meetings each and every Sunday to observe and understand how we apply the teachings of Jesus Christ into our lives.

Seven, he must be ready and willing to join the Church when he receives his witness from God that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.

By doing these things he will show the Lord that he has a sincere heart and real intent. It is similar to listen to the radio. There are certain steps that must first be taken. I recommend this approach because it is exactly what my wife and I did, and we both received the promised witness from the Holy Ghost. In addition, during the forty years or so that I have spent in missionary work for the Church I have never once seen this approach fail.

See Matt , Moroni Enos — Enos experiences the power of the Atonement. Mosiah 2—5 — King Benjamin teaches of Christ. Mosiah 12—16 — Abinadi gives his life in testifying of Jesus Christ. Alma 5, 7 — Alma testifies of the Savior. Alma 17—22 — Lamanites receive the testimony of Jesus Christ. Alma 34 — Amulek testifies of the Atonement.

Alma 36 — Alma experiences the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Alma 40—42 — Alma testifies of the resurrection and Atonement. Ether 3 — The brother of Jared sees the Savior. Moroni 7—8 — Mormon teaches of the pure love of Christ and His Atonement. Moroni 10 — Moroni invites all to come unto Christ and be perfected in Him. I happen to know them. Barack O. I can guarantee that when it comes time to get this current president out, conservatives all around will bound together in unison.

Being Mormon will not affect Mitt Romney, specially if he has the backing of ministers and other important political figures, which he will! Mitt has already exceed B. If recent gubernatorial and house elections are any indication of what is to come and I mean any sign of the political shift in this country, get ready for some real change you will be able to count on!

One only has to look at local elections. Most members of polygamous groups, whether in Utah or not, have never been members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In reality, those that still practice polygamy would denounce the modern LDS church as being the true church. This is not entirely true. Although they may not have been baptized into the modern organization, they follow almost all of the same beliefs and use the same set of set of scriptures.

In the rest of the country, it is much less likely that people are acquainted with someone who is Mormon. There is also that competition thing—apparently Baptists and Evangelicals are mad when members of their church leave to become Mormons. This has given rise to some of the most inaccurate, un-Christian, crazy anti-Mormon propaganda. The goal of such drivel seems to be to keep people as far away from Mormons as possible.

Sooner or later, when people figure out their church, however well-meaning, was lying to them about what Mormons believe, they start to wonder what else their church was lying to them about.

Interesting article, but did it really have to begin by talking about underwear? Cristine Hutchison-Jones seems to be very well informed about Mormons, but the poor journalist illustrates the problems of how hard it is for normal people to sort out the misinformation they learn for popular media.

I do appreciate the good intentions and respectful tone of the article. Perhaps it will help to set that record straight. Yes, Mormons are Christians. For a deeper examination, you may want to explore Mormon.

One who does not believe the same things Christians do can recite a prayer in his name with little comprehension of its meaning or just complete lack of faith.

A lot of people follow MLK Jr. Nicean Creed, very important! Be proud of your faith. Why must Mormons be so anxious to bust into Christianity? Be strong on your own!

Own it! Correction: The Trinity is not 3 independent beings but 1 being made up of 3 parts. Kind of tricky I know, but very important in Christianity. If you believe they are 3 seperate deities then no dice.

The dictionary definition of a Christian is a believer and follower of Christ, and this is what a Christian is at its most core level. Tim was pointing out that Mormons have Christ as the center of their religion, and therefore, are Christians. Mormons are Christians because they believe in and follow the doctrine of Christ as they believe the Gospel was taught and revealed through the scriptures and modern-day Prophets. We Mormons believe the Holy Bible is the word of God insofar as it is translated correctly , and we use the King James version.

Here ar some scriptures from The Book of Mormon that will help you to know that Mormons are Christians. Also, the Bible contains a prophacy relative to the coming forth of The Book of Mormon in these latter days. About B. God commanded the tribes of Israel to keep two scriptural histories rather than one as they had done in the past. This new record was soon hidden from world when the Prophet Lehi and a small group from the tribe of Joseph were led by God to the Western Hemisphere.

However, God declared to the Prophet Ezekiel that he would bring it forth to be joined with the Stick of Judah prior to the gathering of the twelve tribes of Israel in the latter days. Also see 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon.

Today, we know the Stick of Joseph as the Book of Mormon. It covers a period of history from B. As a companion book to the Bible the Stick of Judah it provides another Testament, and a second sure witness to both Jew and gentile that Jesus is the Christ! We believe that the perception that an unbaptized infant is somehow damned, limited or punished in any way is a evil belief. He became man through the process described the bible. They are united in purpose, but separate entities. We believe that the creeds were uninspired, man-made documents that redefined God in a way that the Apostles and early Christians would not recognize.

They were Christians before conversion and after. Tom — if you truly believe that Jesus prayed to himself… and not to his Father in heaven… then you would also not be able to believe that Jesus Christ was a separate, divine entity from his Father….

The Apostle Stephen saw two 2 , divine and separate beings, Jesus Christ standing on the right hand of God…. Mormon beliefs:. Number two is incorrect. Mormons most certainly believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. This is quite clear and easily verifiable see the Book of Mormon — almost any page — or mormon. With regard to defining the boundaries of Christianity, its not as simple as picking a couple of beliefs that some faiths hold to but another does not.

For example, Roman Catholics have many distinctive beliefs. Does that make catholics not Christian because they are the only church that believes in transubstantiation or praying to saints?

Who decides what these criteria are? The fact of the matter is that Mormons believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he is divine, that the Bible including the New Testament is the word of God, and that our salvation is dependent on him. This is at the very core and center of Mormon belief. There is absolutely no parallel between Mormon beliefs about Jesus and that of Judaism or Islam.

To them assuming they know something about Mormon beliefs , the question of whether Mormons are Christian is painfully obvious. Of course we are Christians. We believe in Jesus Christ! In addition, every good member of our church strives to follow Jesus Christ by keeping his commandments and doing the will of their Heavenly Father. We are Latter-day Christians. There are also Nicene Christians. Both are followers of Jesus Christ even though they differ in doctrine as to what God is like.

I refer you to the following if you want to know more on the subject:. The two bottom line differences are that we Latter-day Christians teach that Jesus Christ is a separate person from his Heavenly Father and from the Holy Ghost. See Hebrews , Revelations. Therefore, there is no doubt in our mind that our doctrine concerning the nature of the Godhead is true.

You can also refer to John , , Luke , Acts These scriptures, and scores of others, show that Christ is a separate person from his father. The issue is you did something against christian law. Having another book the Book of Mormon and the fact that you claim Jesus came to America after he was in the middle east. You give a different image of Jesus than christian have been given.

Speak the truth. Lying is a sin and your works are filthy rags to god. Everybody knows this thing of the first vision being revised multiple times is used as a straw man. Everyone who was there from the beginning of the Church knows that Joseph Smith saw two personages just like Stephen the Martyr did before they stoned him for saying so. As to Mitt Romney — you have no worry whatsoever as proven by his four years as the Governor of Mass.

He is the focus of our beliefs and everything we do in our church. There are so many people that misunderstand us and what we believe. I know we do see eye to eye on everything with all of Christendom, which is fine. We are happy to talk with people about what we have in common and where we differ we have more in common that you think. A very simple and inclusive definition. Dictionary defines it as follows: Adjective: Of, relating to, or professing Christianity or its teachings.

Noun: A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings. Most of Christendom believes you must adhere to a set of beliefs Nicene Creed, et al that all Catholic or Protestant churches have about him to make you a Christian.

I find that view vary narrow. So narrow that you exclude us from it. Mormon, Joseph Smith, etc. And just to correct a couple of points you made above: 1. Jesus had a mortal mother and a divine Father. He is the only begotten Son of God in the flesh. We believe them to be one Godhead, made of those 3 distinct beings beings, one in purpose. You guys have a seperate divine book for crying out loud!

They recognize it is written by man. Why is it such a big deal to be called Christian when your beliefs are so far from it that you literally push Christians away like a bad smell in a small room. If its that important to you convert though I would not recomend this as it shows little faith.

I am a product of a Muslim father and Presbyterian mother. Labels are not an issue for me because I realize that religion should be about the way we worship God, not what we call ourselves. This could be the new religious revolution perhaps, rising above labels.

That be wonderful. To others who responded to my reply: Did you read it? Religion is much deeper than that. Thanks for skimming! The Trinity was defined by Catholic Bishops in AD as part of the Nicene Creed and is, therefore, an interpretation of various doctrinal sources. There are plenty of differences between us. Many of us have spent countless hours studying scriptures the Bible included , praying, pondering, identifying our true feelings, considering very deeply what we are taught and what we read.

We have felt and experienced things that have confirmed our beliefs, and through this process learned for ourselves that God is mindful of us. The decision to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not one that is usually taken very lightly. It means a life-long commitment and dedication to upholding and practicing the very things that Christ taught. My own mother made that sacrifice, as did I.

This goes beyond the Protestant belief that the original church was corrupted, but could be remedied by different interpretations and reformations. I do want them to understand that I have made a serious commitment to follow Christ and do what he told us to do.

In my mind there is no difference. I apologize. But I really do need to apologize. I was rude. The validity of the Book of Mormon is also a big if for many non-mormons. It seems like an exclusive club. But honestly, you follow Christ, like you said so do you really need the membership? Though the church which is now broken up into many different denominations that do all share basic beliefs was very quick to cry heresy in the past, it is not so now.

The church has become more open and hopefully more accepting. Please forgive me for ever judging you or being rude. I was in the wrong. You are right Sean! Thank you for being understanding and patient where I was not. Sincerely, Michelle. Actually, the original transgression brought about a state wherein Adam and Eve were required to leave the innocent state in the garden and bring about the rest of the human race in a fallen world. They were accountable for their own transgressions.

We are accountable for our own. The point here is that all transgression and sin require the atonement of Christ to overcome.

The fact is, we look to Jesus as our Savior and Redeemer. The way I see it, His divine parentage have Him the power to overcome and provide salvation. His mortal parentage have Him the ability to more personally understand our mortal trials. Your view of how this works may be different. That is OK. The foundation of Mormon faith is that they are real we are grateful for what Jesus did to bring reconciliation and comfort in time of need.

Who are you or anyone else to define our relationship with Christ? Our beliefs are not at all the same. I love that my children have never had to see their father act like an idiot while being drunk I grew up watching my dad get drunk.

Pictures of the dead bodies were on the cover of Time magazine. In Waco, Texas in , the Branch Davidians were attacked by law enforcement in their compound. They were Adventists, but their community was a polygamous one, and easy to earn the designation as a cult— their beliefs were heterodox to Christianity.

End days scripture is Christian in origin—the last book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelations, is the source. But not all apocalyptic religious movements end in death or waiting for spaceships. Seventh Day Adventists come from a tradition from the s that predicted an apocalypse in , based on calculations from the Book of Daniel.
