Personal Narrative: The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints
He left with that. He offended me! I realized that I did nothing to prepare to serve my mission. I needed to pay off that credit card debt and save money to pay for my expenses. I had never prepared! David’s frank words jolted me! I started working to prepare for my mission. That became my new agenda, my ninja way, my mission, which I will address in another chapter.
The Spirit opened my mind to consider what my bishop said about the teaching of fence sitters in the premortal life being false some years after.
Why do I share this?
The opinion about the fence-sitting pre-earth spirits becoming Blacks of African heritage is still a belief among some Mormons though The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints denounces it. I have taught classes where members referenced it and I had to explain that it is not

Some might say that I am reaching here when I instruct that all the people born to this life will accept Christ and endure a cross and received an appropriate mansion in heaven save a few people who become perdition . All people chose Jesus Christ to come here and fought valiantly to get here, even the supposed seed of Cain, the Black people. The war in heaven is like the war on terror, there are no neutral parties, only combatants!
O the greatness and the justice of our God! For He executeth all His words, and they have gone forth out of His mouth, and His law must be fulfilled.
What is the word of God? He came, He suffered, He died, He overcame, and He resurrected so that all of us, all could have the chance to be like Heavenly Father. Nephi explained that (with a few italicized words here and tweaks there to fit the point I am trying to

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    Accepting Jesus was by far the biggest decision I have had to make. Welcoming him into my life changed me in so many ways, for example, I had finally found myself in this huge world that was filled with nothing but sin and destruction. Basically, I was a self-destructing time bomb, but Jesus stepped in right on time for me. When Jesus started taking control of my life I was in the, "rebirth," stage of my life. The rebirth stage tore me all the way down I was nothing at that stage I was like a newborn baby all over again just in a spiritual state. Coming from a broken background, I was breaking myself down by lying, cheating, just doing everything possible that I knew I could get away with. That phase gave me consequences that I was not use…

    My collage is Freedom of Religion, why I chose this freedom is because everyone has a religion, even though some people don’t choose to have a religion, it is important to them. ¨With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.¨ by Steven Weinberg. I chose this quote because anyone can have a religion it does not matter what kind of race they are, gender, or how they look. They choose what to believe in not what others believe in. Not everyone will believe in God, others may believe in something else and they cannot change that.…

    When a person is born, they are usually subjected to one religion and most of the time they remain in that one religion their entire life, never experiencing another religion and only imagining what it is like. For my final project for my Comparative Religions class I was able to visit two houses of worship for two religions that were not my own and it really changed my whole view on religion as a whole. I experienced new forms of worship, ideas of the afterlife, and how much religion can really bring a whole community together. I chose to visit a Jewish synagogue and a Baptist church. I am a Catholic so both of these experiences were very different. I am very grateful I was able to be able to experience such a new outlook on religion as a…

    I am most excited to simply meet people at the University of Notre Dame. Peers, professors, alumni with varying religious beliefs, political views, and cultural backgrounds. It is the people farthest from me in geography, culture, and ideology that intrigue and challenge me the most. I am constantly attempting to step into their shoes or view the world through their lens. I am captivated by the notion that how I walk in my shoes or how I view the world around me has implications for people near and far from me.…

    The person I choice to interview this week just like last week is also someone I turn to when I am faced with questions and concerns regarding all of my biblical classes and sometimes just personal spiritual questions. That person is my pastor and my father in law who has been a southern Baptist preacher for over thirty years. Of those thirty years he has only been pastor of two churches both, which have been very successful while he was and is presently the pastor. When we talk about anything and everything overall we have a great relationship. I choose to interview him this week because I knew he would be able to show me the more experienced side of his ministry because of his years of serving the lord.…

    In my youth I enjoyed learning about different cultures, religions, and philosophies. Frequently I would see how the things I had learned as a child were reflected in the practices and beliefs of people very different from myself. I could see simple truths become evident not only in things explained by tradition, science, or logic, but also by means that could not be explained. I had begun my journey of living by faith.…
