“BPA” Can be passed from moms to kids at birth (list of products containing BPA)
A Chemical found in plastic that we all have contact with is called BPA, and the concerns as to how it can cause health problems.

A new study found a possible cause for concern with regards to the chemical BPA being passed from moms to kids at birth, especially boys. Roughly 9 out of 10 Americans are walking around with a highly toxic synthetic chemical surging through their systems. BPA is a petroleum-based chemical that is widely used in the production of plastic products such as bottles, food can linings and PVC water supply lines. As these plastics degrade over time, humans ingest more and more BPA. This according to a new study released by (UCSD) University of California, San Diego.

It is suggested that metabolic changes that take place once the BPA has broken down inside or our system is where the greatest threat to our health lies. These findings were published yesterday in the open journal PLOS ONE. the major concern is the connection between BPA exposure and the disruption of estrogen signaling. Because BPA’s molecular structure is similar to estradiol, it may bind to estrogen receptors.

These receptors, which latch onto and hold estradiol and related estrogens, can also grab disparate chemicals. This can cause problems in the endocrine or hormone system, the researchers noted. Fetuses, infants, and young children are particularly prone to being affected.

According to Michael E. Baker, PhD, a UCSD professor of medicine, and Charlie Chandsawangbhuwana, a graduate student in the UCSD Department of Bioengineering, several research labs have reported that BPA binds weakly to the estrogen receptor, suggesting that something else is interacting with this receptor.

San Diego scientists created a 3-D computer model of the chemical and one of its breakdown products. In the process, they figured out why this breakdown product, called a metabolite, is more active than BPA, causing even further damage to our bodies.

“We discovered the mechanism by which it’s so much more active than the BPA,” Michael E. Baker, a research professor at the University of CaliforniaSan Diego who led the study, told Scientists already know that BPA mimics estrogen and attaches itself to estrogen receptors in the body. That causes estrogen levels to change a process that could be linked to health problems.

He said the research points to the need to measure MBP levels in urine and blood of patients suspected of BPA-mediated health effects, and may fuel development of a new therapeutic treatment for conditions linked to excessive estrogen levels and activity, such as some forms of breast and prostate cancers.

Here is a partial list of products containing the chemical BPA

Canned foods, Canned beverages of all types including Beer and Soda, Dental Fillings, Baby Bottles, Water Coolers and Bottles, Tableware and Food Storage Containers, Medical Devices, Consumer Items, Sunglasses, CDs, and DVDs, Electronics equipment, Automobile parts, Sports equipment, Construction Glazing and “Bulletproof Glass”

I don’t know how it is possible that Hope Christian School in Albuquerque, NM ever considered admitting the three-year-old boy into school, but when they discovered that he was being raised by “two dads,” they rejected his application. As much as it would have been wonderful to do whatever possible to disciple the child in the Faith, the legal mess would have been horrific. As soon as they taught the child about Adam and Eve, the “parents” would have been enraged and perhaps even gone to court. No pre-school wants to have to add a column in the budget for fending off homosexual litigants.
But it is now too late. The “couple” are suing anyway. They want damages, both compensatory and punitive. They also want the child to be admitted as a student despite the fact that the school openly states they are “open to students of any race, color, or ethnic origin who are looking for a Christian environment with an emphasis on teaching Biblical principles and truths along with strong academics.”
The men posing as “parents” are appealing to New Mexico’s Human Rights Act. Just as we have seen businesses move from blue states to red states, I can’t help but wonder if we are going to start seeing American Christian migratory patterns work the same way, with states lacking “human rights” legislation receiving Christian immigrants. If that happens, I have no doubt that some Christian leaders and pastors will preach against this as an offense to the Great Commission. Maybe. But maybe the proper Biblical principle to apply in this situation is “Come out of her, my people, so that you do not share in her plagues.” The bottom line here is that even when modern missionaries move to foreign countries, they typically maintain control of their children’s education.
It doesn’t help that the school, reportedly, received $61,455 in federal funds for 2012. The lawyers are now using that as an argument to paganize the school’s curriculum. I could easily spend space castigating the school for this. Taking that money was a wrong decision that was, at best, really naïve. But also realize that this shows how much Big Brother wants to bring us all into his big smothering family. If you think the people behind the decisions to provide that kind of federal loot to a Christian school did not have in mind the eventual ways that it could be used to paganize the school’s identity, you too are being naïve. This is just like the government is federalizing our police through the promise of funds, and just like Obamacare is being used as a weapon to paganize Catholic hospitals and Christian-owned businesses. This is all happening at about the same time and it shows a unity of purpose and vision.
Insisting the child be admitted makes the insidious objective of this lawsuit obvious: they want to control the schools beliefs and teaching. Christians have the liberty to think religious thoughts inside their own head, but they must not educate anyone else in them. They must submit to playing the role of pagans in public society. That’s the “tolerance” that the liberals offer.
Christians must continue to submit to the civil magistrates (the way the Apostle Paul did, which often meant going to jail for a failure to obey sinful orders), but we need to realize that “Culture War” is no longer a metaphor. All those tasers and electronic-shock bracelets and SWAT teams have a purpose. They are going to use the Pansexual Left and the courts to basically drive Christianity out of the culture at least to the inside of the walls of the churches.
There was always a case to be made against Federal funds, but now it is even clearer that they are poisoned fruit. Christian institutions need to realize that the Pansexual Left is on the offensive. Many more homosexual “parents” are going to be applying to Christian schools in other states in order to provoke these court cases.
Be alert and stay faithful.

Do Latter-day Saints believe they can become “gods”? 
Latter-day Saints believe that God wants us to become like Him. But this teaching is often misrepresented by those who caricature the faith. The Latter-day Saint belief is no different than the biblical teaching, which states, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” (Romans 8:16-17). Through following Christ's teachings, Latter-day Saints believe all people can become "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4). 

Do Latter-day Saints believe that they will “get their own planet”? 
No. This idea is not taught in Latter-day Saint scripture, nor is it a doctrine of the Church. This misunderstanding stems from speculative comments unreflective of scriptural doctrine. Mormons believe that we are all sons and daughters of God and that all of us have the potential to grow during and after this life to become like our Heavenly Father (see Romans 8:16-17). The Church does not and has never purported to fully understand the specifics of Christ’s statement that “in my Father’s house are many mansions” (John 14:2).

There are many members of the faith over 30 years of age who sincerely believe that they will have the opportunity to become gods of their own planets which will be populated with their spirit children. 


Since you're saying it's just folklore, are you able to speculate on why so many saints believe this to be true?

"Since you're saying it's just folklore, are you able to speculate on why so many saints believe this to be true?"


It sounds good and this is what they want to believe as so many other things we hope will come to us. I think pride will put a stop to many of those hopes. Again as Janadele noted the Church has never taught those things, but many think that is true. Never taught but shurly wished for.


Of course many things are possible, when we stop to think that the Hubble telescope in its deep look into space has counted 130 billion galaxies. (There is one Momma galaxie that is creating about 30 stars every day.) That is only as far as it can see so there are many more. Still one wonders. We know what it takes to get into the celestial kingdom to be with our loved ones but the most important thing is are we deserving to go beyond that or will self pride put a stop to even that. There are simply so many things to ponder such as: what did we do before being born here, did we just stand around or did we have work to do? I am sure that we had fun there just as we do here. Did we need to eat there, so were there plumbers in heaven to deal with ... My primary hope is that my good wife will be able to drag me along with her when that time comes.

Dr. Millers book "Science and The Book of Mormon" states "A date of 2,167 B.C. was obtained based on horse bones from the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula." He writes that this came from anthropologist John Sorenson.

Dr. Miller also says "One of the most exciting discoveries I have had, which was in conjunction with Mexican colleagues, was in finding horse fossils that are transitional between
ancestor, Dinohippus (Miller and Carranza-Castañeda, 2001, p. 240). Even after careful study we could not be sure into which genus we should place some of our specimens. 


More fossils of this horse will be needed to help in a determination. This means that the modern horse apparently had its origin in Mexico. From there it spread to other parts of the world where it exists today in various forms –both wild and domestic...Mesoamerica especially has a rich literature on this subject. Some of these articles date back to the 1800’s (e.g., Heilprin, 1891; Mercer, 1896). Different species of Equus associated with man were reported by Mexican palaeontologists Joaquin Arroyo-Cabrales and Oscar Polaco from several caves in the Yucatan Peninsula (2003, p. 273-288). A number of sites having a joint occurrence of horse and man have been reported throughout Mexico, though dates are often lacking (e.g., Irwin-Williams, 1967; MacNeish and Nelken-Terner, 1983; Pichardo, 2000b)."
