What makes flowers bloom?
I think it was a designed in thing from God to help in keeping plants alive and spreading. The weather plays a big part in it, as it warms up, flowers start to develop and bloom in order to aid in pollenization for the plant. Why warmer weather? Insects and birds come out, more sunshine to aid in chlorophyll production, more rain during that time of year to provide it for plant growth. The pollen was moved from stamen to the pistil, allowing the plant to be fertilized, produce seeds, and grow more plants

Why do we have chairs? And why do we set on them?

Why are Mormons have nasty food?
No tea, coffee, liquor, eating meat is discouraged, but otherwise it is the same, so if it was nasty it was either because you didn’t like the things cooked, or it was cooked poorly
Why are we here on earth?
You were born here, and haven’t left. God wanted you born, and has a plan for your life. You have things to accomplish, that God wanted you here for. But we are also here to have a relationship with God and worship him and bring others into a relationship with him
Is it okay to pray for your future kids and spouse?
Yes, I did
Is it okay to think of your future kids and spouse often?
It is okay to think about them, but it shouldn’t become your focus, our focus shouldn’t dwell on the future or the past, but on now. Nor should our focus be exclusively on a person or possessions but rather on God
What are your proof texts for the belief of the rapture?
The word rapture is never used in the Bible, nor is the word Trinity. Rapture is a Latin word that means to be caught up and is the belief that at a point near the end of the world Jesus will return and bring all current believers up to heaven in a moment’s time, both the living and the dead. The Bible verses used by those who believe there is a rapture are as follows:
1. 1st Thessalonians 4:13-5:11
2. 1st Corinthians 15:51-52
3. Matthew 24:36-44
Is it wrong for us to hold church on Sunday instead of Saturday?
It is hard to hold a church anytime, they are heavy! The short answer is no. Saturday is the Sabbath, which is the day of rest made by God at the beginning of the world. That day was set apart by the Jews as a day of rest, a day of special sacrifices at temple, and a day to celebrate at home a service to God. Later it turned into attending a service at the synagogue. When Christianity started after Jesus rose again, most of the followers were Jewish and attended service on Saturday. But they also started to meet on Sundays in order to celebrate the day that Jesus rose from the dead. Over time the church brought in more non-Jews and they didn’t see why they had to do the rituals from the Jewish religion, and stopped Saturday worship, because they didn’t see a need for it, since they were Christians not Jews. Colossians 2:16-17 tells us, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” Romans 14:5 “One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” Hebrews 10:25 “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Is it okay to believe in more than one God?
You can believe in more than one God, but it is important to believe what is true, rather than what we want to believe. More than one God doesn’t make a lot of sense, God by definition is the highest of all beings, if he is one of many he can’t have all power, and is just a more powerful being than you, so why not worship anything that is bigger or stronger than you. Second if you believe in more than one God it excludes you from believing in the God of the Bible, thus Christianity is not right, Jesus is a lie. Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one”
Why is homosexuality labeled as bad when there is nothing in the bible that says it is?…….Does Christianity say anything about homosexuality being right or wrong?
Yes it is talked about in the bible. Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:26-27; 1st Corinthians 6:9-10; 1st Timothy 1:10
I don’t know if I want to get married. I still want to be a mom. Is it still okay to have sex?
According to the bible the only place that sex is okay is inside the confines of marriage. We find this in many lists throughout the bible that list fornication as a sin, fornication is sex before marriage, as well as adultery, which is sex with someone other than your spouse. So no it wouldn’t be okay for you to have sex, but adoption is always a possibility, though you should make sure you pray about it and think about whether a one adult home is the best place for that child or not and if you are doing it for the right reasons.
Why do people die?
Death was brought into this world as a punishment for committing sin. Over time the length of life has gotten shorter and shorter because of disease and genetic problems. Most people actually die because of lack of oxygen to the brain, that is why brain dead is the ultimate dead. But take courage, there is more after you die
What happens when a person dies?
The bible isn’t entirely clear on the step by step of after you die. But it does give some intriguing clues. It tells us that when we die our body remains but our spirit departs our body, our spirit is who we really are, our consciousness. Jesus tells one of the men being crucified by him that that day he would see him in paradise (heaven) so you must go where you are going fairly quickly. There is a second place we can go (hell) that is a place of eternal punishment and if we don’t take Jesus as our savior that is where we are headed
