105 sure-fire ways to go to hell (according to the Bible)
In a previous post, I tried to find all of the ways that a person can get saved -- according to the Bible, anyway. There were more than 200 on that list. But as I looked it over, some of the ways seemed to be more about avoiding hell than obtaining ...

176 ways to get yourself saved
28 March 15: I removed some the ways to get saved (about 30 or so) that seemed more like necessary but not sufficient conditions for salvation. Some of these I included in a new post on sure-fire ways to go to hell.
I also found two new way to get ...

It's time to remove Leviticus 20:13 from the Bible
It would save Christians a lot of embarrassment.
Here is the verse:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus ...

Has there ever been a just or righteous person?
For those of you who read my last two posts, this must seem like a silly question. The Bible clearly says there are just and righteous people.
The Bible describes in great detail the characteristics of just and righteous people. Just people, for ex ...

Who were the just and righteous people in the Bible?
If you took yesterday's just and righteous test, you probably failed. It's hard to avoid menstruating women these days, and not many people are willing to rejoice as they wash their feet in wicked people's blood. In fact, with qualifications like th ...

Are you a just and righteous person? Take the Bible's test to know for sure.
Here's the just test:
Do wicked people gnash their teeth while plotting against you?
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. Psalm 37:12
Is your house blessed by God?
The curse of the LORD is in the house o ...

What would Jesus eat?
That's an easy question to answer if you believe what Jesus supposedly said in the gospel of Mark, when he was criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating.
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scri ...

Alma 45: The End Of Alma (The Guy, Not The Book)
Alma had a prophesy to share with his son, Helaman. But first, he had to make sure that he trusted him.

Alma 44: A Scalping And A Surrender
In the last post, the Nephites and the Lamanites were fighting, but the Nephites had the better end. Before too many of the Lamanites got slaughtered, though, Moroni called them off. He told the leader of the Lamanite army, Zerahemnah, that he didn' ...

Alma 43: Back to Fighting!
We made it, guys! Alma is done giving speeches to his sons, and now he's going to get back to preaching. Better yet, we're not even going to have to hear about it. Suffice it to say, Alma and his sons preached the word, and the truth, according to t ...

Is it wrong to burn people to death?

Alma 42: Alma's final advice to Corianton
You'd think that Alma would be getting close to done lecturing his son Corianton. But you'd be foolish to doubt Alma's ability to keep talking, even when he runs out of things to say.
He launches into another speech, because he could clearly see t ...

Alma 41: Concerning Restoration
For the last two chapters, Alma has been busy giving advice to his wayward son, Corianton. It started out pretty interesting. We learned that Corianton forsook the ministry, and chased after the harlot Isabel in the land of Siron. Apparently he also ...

Alma 40: Concerning The Resurrection
In this chapter, Alma continues his speech to his third son, Corianton. Unfortunately (as it was bound to do eventually) it takes a turn for the boring. He devotes the chapter to explaining the resurrection to Corianton.

Alma 39: Corianton, The Sexual Deviant
Now Alma turned to his third son, Corianton. Turns out that Corianton needed the most work of all his sons, so he got the longest speech. Alma's advice to Corianton goes on for four chapters (39-42), but the meat of it is in Chapter 39.

Alma 38: Bridle your passions, Shiblon!
Chapter 38 is another boring chapter, so I'll go through it pretty quickly. If you remember, in Chapter 37, Alma is just giving each one of his sons a bunch of advice in a big monologue (like Polonius does to Laertes in Hamlet, only less poetic.)
