I just want to once again thank you all so much for your replies. I will continue to study and do as Ray suggests about the new testament. Also all of the other comments. I think it is correct that we all seem to pick some of the things we agree with in any religion and decide what is best for ourselves. I also think some of the anti-Mormon sites are distorting many things. I also have been watching some talks on byutv and have found them quite good. I think I just need more time to study and learn before baptism. I think when they said the date it just kind of made me feel backed into a corner with a deadline. (I don’t think they meant it that way but it’s how I feel) I am not meaning to offend anyone by my questions, it is just where I live there I’ve not come into contact with many Mormons and so I do have many questions. If some of them are ignorant, I apologize.
I’ve been reading so much lately. I will try to go back and find where I read that at. It was something about God & other ones had a meeting and decided Jesus would go to earth & about the devil being the brother who got mad.
Maybe it was something false I read. I am finding more against the lds teaching than for so that’s why I say maybe I’m mistaken, but they didn’t really deny what I was asking.
It is very unsettling to me to think that some things I have believed my whole life may not be correct. I think that is why I feel like I should be doubting myself around every corner. I feel that lifting though like a weight is coming off of my shoulders. I do worry about what people I know will think but I also feel my relationship with our heavenly father is much more important than what some people may say. I just don’t see, so far, how an emphasis on God, family, & helping others can be a bad thing…
