No, I’m fine, thanks. You can find the pi passage in Kings.

Please specify the hebrew words used here for "pi"

Please specify how I represent decimal units when the units of measurement are cubits and hands?

Crickets.

I know what (crickets) means. It’s like LOL. After your first week on the ‘net, it’s kinda silly.

Yet you still fail/refuse to provide the specific verses and words - it is only silly to the one obfuscating the claim.

It would seem that you require training in both the subject at hand as well as in tennis scoring!

Of course Jesus and God are real. Have I said that they are not? I’m a Christian.

I have addressed Mormon theology on this thread in response to questions. I know there may be Mormons reading this thread. I have offered them several ways to get more information in my answers. I hope they will seek out information from Catholics about what they believe about Christ. Catholics see Him, and living a Christian life, a bit differently than Protestants. Plus, we have the joy of the Sacraments.

I’m comfortable with my beliefs and my responses on this thread, Elsie.

A divided by B equals 3 in the biblical text. What further verse do you need?

Really, this is entertaining to a point, but eventually I’ll have to view you as a subject for remedial work.

The Catholic Church does trace its roots back to Christ. It is the only Church started by Christ HImself and He promised He would send the Holy Spirit to guide it forever. I believe Christ keeps His promises and that the Catholic Church is the one, true, Apostolic Church.

Individual Catholics are not perfect and sometimes do great harm. Recall that even St. Peter was pretty flawed. Yet Christ selected him, despite all his weaknesses and flaws, to lead the Church. He had something Christ wanted.

If you were raised Catholic, you may have had poor example or poor training in the faith. I invite you to re-visit Catholicism as a mature adult. If you read books by Madrid or Hahn, you will find many amazing points about the Truth of the Catholic Church. God bless you.

Again (yawn) I ask - how did they work decimal places at that time? (crickets). Surely one with such OT expertise as yourself can provide it (or was it math - can't remember).

BTW, the formula only works with an ideal shape - you still need to tell me where on the rim that measurement was take from? Oh but its all in the Bible you claim, LOL, what an obtuse statement for you to make in front of all the lurkers here.

Have you said that Jesus is God ???

No you havent...

I didnt say “Jesus AND God are real...”

I said in #706...

“This is real life...Jesus is God and is real...”

Jesus and God are not two different entities...

Jesus is the Word, the 2nd person of the Trinity...

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7

A Christian would understand and believe the Trinity...

A non-Christian would deny the Trinity...

Mormons deny the Trinity...

Mormons deny that Jesus is God...

But then mormons are not Christians...

and that brings us back to the title, subject and theme of this thread...

“Is Mormonism Christian? “

No, mormonism is not Christian...

Joey Smith set his home made religion, mormonism up to be anything but Christianity...

he rejected Christianity...

Christianity cramped his unrighteous style...

You are full of demmons what more can I say!

- - - - - - - -
You see, elsie, that is what you get for not wearing your +13 holy underwear - “demmons”

Never mind that the LDS orginization is the most demonic thing I have ever seen.

Never fear, elsie -

The woman at the well went back to the townspeople and told them what she had witnessed. She invited them to come and see for themselves.

She didn’t go back to the town and browbeat them into belief. She was civil. As Christ was, by the way, to her, although she was an awful sinner and misguided in her faith.

What Bible are you reading? There is absolutely nothing in the passage of the woman at the well to support your “methods” for dealing with Mormons, or me. And, for the record, we are not supposed to deliberately misquote people here on FR. If you want to refer to my comments, make sure you print them verbatim.

Citing limitations in the calculation abilities of the time is not a cover for the obvious incorrect number presented in Kings. If it were meant to be inerrant, the passage would have presented the correct value despite the availability of a decimal place. Alternatively, the text could have said “about 3”.

The bible is divinely inspired, but not literally inerrant.
