• Massive Oil Deposit Discovered in Arctic Region

  In reply to rabblechat.

  Rabble, I’m with you. The math is apparent, the world consumes 80 million barrels of oil a day or more, this find is important but a drop in the bucket.

  All you abiotic folks, True or not, we are still using the stuff faster than the earth is creating it since the decline in oil is apparent at locations around the globe.

  Natural Gas can fill the gap but the entire consumer car fleet will have to convert. That will take a decade alone. Simultanously, all the distribution and pumping infrasructure will convert as well. This will happend eventually due to pressure on oil but unfortunatly, as is evident by this board, no one is forward thinking, even the “rugged individulists” in the conservative ranks!

  All, look at the data, I’m not a greenie but the age of CHEAP oil is over coupled with rising demand in India and China, the ramifications will be far reaching and as significant impact on my kids as is the debt we are racking up.

  Glen, we are praying for you…

  For the LDS community, I too am a Christian but from another denomination, I will be in SLC next week. Can we meet at the Temple Square and together enter the temple and it’s most holy of places and worship together? Don’t bother, I tried this summer and I was not worthy since I was not a “true” LDS follower.

  Truth be known, the LDS consider themselves Christians and everyone else are apostates. The message is softened for public consumption but in the church, its common knowledge.

  LDS and Christan Theology is in conflict over a number of points. For example
  LDS teaches we are “saved” by what we do using Christ’s example life as the template. Believing in Christ is believing in his example. Christian Theology teaches that nothing we can do will save us, we are utterly lost and only the blood of Chirst and his death are we able to be saved by GRACE which is an act of FAITH and a FREE gift. As a matter of fact, on this particular works vs grace, LDS has more in common with Muslims since that religion teaches a strict code to live by for salvation as well.

  I don’t know of any Christian denomination that accepts Joseph Smith as a prophet or any of his translations/writings as scripture. Since his theology is inconsistent with the theology that preceded him, which are we to believe? It‘s particularly troubling when you discover that all the original manuscripts he translated are destroyed or gone and much of the stories of the book of Mormon haven’t been substantiated by archaeology, linguistics or DNA evidence.

  I don’t know of any Christian denominations that have the same teachings about the afterlife as does the LDS theology. You know the one where after death the Father continues to evolve spiritually and becomes the Father of his own celestial sphere. This is not consistent with Christian Theology at all.

  The LDS community has my respect for their commitment to family, moral values and committment to their religion. I call many LDS my friends, we disagree on the theology and always will. I’m fine with that as are they.

  Are LDS Christians the same as every other denomination? The answer can be found by entering any LDS temple. No-way, unless you become LDS!
