I am a conservative, Christian, pro-life, right-wing heterosexual. My occupation is a computer programmer for a major US airline. I am married and the father of a grown-up daughter. In my spare time, I am a part-time musician, with a performance degree from a major US university. My interests are theology, music (classical, jazz, Broadway, oldies rock), aviation, old movies, travel and politics. I enjoy discussing those with anybody who isn't intimidated or offended by my beliefs, and who can intelligently and rationally discuss their own, even if they disagree with me.
Question for British classical musicians?
Which is the most prestigious orchestra - the London Philharmonic or the Royal Philharmonic? What are some other good English orchestras in the London area? Do their concert series extend into the summer?
5 AnswersClassical1 decade agoSerious questions for Mormons?
I have been accused of misrepresenting LDS beliefs. Would an LDS give me short and sweet answers to the following?
(Asked respectfully. Please no diatribes from pro or anti-Mormons. And, please, no scripture quoting; I can read for myself.)
a. Are Jesus and Satan brothers?
b. Is God a deified man?
c. Is there a "Mrs. God"? If so, who is She, and what is Her name? Do you pray to Her?
d. Can an ordinary mortal like myself become a God by doing all the right things?
e. If I don't go to the celestial kingdom when I die, but to one of the other heavens, is that necessarily a bad thing?
f. If I am "sealed" to my parents, what happens when I marry? Is my spouse sealed to my family, especially if already sealed to his/her parents? What if I marry outside of the faith? What if my spouse later divorces me? Do I go back to being sealed to my parents?
g. Many people have claimed revelation from God. What authenticates Joseph Smith's?
Thank you.
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoChristians only please - why believe in the "Rapture"?
The word "Rapture" never appears in the Bible. No one single verse of Scripture supports it. You have to string together two or more unrelated verses to even justify the concept. Will I go to Hell for denying that as a doctrinal belief, even if I affirm the remaining tenants of Christianity?
