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

Of course YOU are; but there are SOME (wink, wink - nudge,nudge) that would like you to be more specific about the NAMES of those you have accused of bad behavior.

[Elsie]

Catholics see Him, and living a Christian life, a bit differently than Protestants.

You guys sure do!

I'm waiting for Bucky to tire of eating pi and get to the LITERAL body and blood of CHRIST!

[Elsie]

Now you’ll get us side trackked to that Mormon Muffin thread!!

And, for the record, we are not supposed to deliberately misquote people here on FR.

Evidently it's ok to slur folks if you do NOT mention them by name.

[Elsie]

I am pleased that I have continued to be civil to everyone on this thread, whether they deserve it or not.

Well; it looks like that "Dignity for All" thing just went out the window.

With the tools available at the time, the measurement of an internal circumference would be a difficult task.

In any event, I accept the conclusion that further interpretation is necessary. That just means that the bible is not literally inerrant on its own.

[Buck W.]

Exactly! That’s where interpretation is required. The bible is not literally inerrant on its own.

[Elsie]

4 When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you.

Well then; why did JS NOT record any HANDSHAKE he had with JESUS (and feel his bones) and the FATHER (and feel his bones) in his various versions of his First Vision©??

[Buck W.]

MM, you’re beginning to see the light!

[Tennessee Nana]

look you are going to become some type of god when you leave this realm...

That is just plain blasphemy.

There is only ONE God. The plural referred to in scripture (OT and NT) describes one of 2 things: 1) Pagan “gods” which are not gods at all, as proven over and over again. or 2) a term for judges (who act like “gods” often).

Satan’s minions are FALLEN ANGELS not GODS!

[Elsie]

You are willing to 'correct' unnmaed fellow Christians about their evangelizing style; but not going to say what is wrong about MORMONism.

Strange...

[Buck W.]

You’re putting lipstick on a pig! Another poster here referred to you as a scientist—perhaps (s)he meant cosmetician.

No, you are still augmenting scripture with interpretation. I am not arguing with the fact that a circular circumference divided by the corresponding diameter equals pi. The bible, though, with no further information says that the circ over the diam equals 3.

One must interpret the scene to provide the data necessary to fix it. The scripture is not literally inerrant on its own.

Really, I’m a Christian and I understand this. Can’t you?

[Elsie]

The Book of MORMON does NOT contain: 1. The Restored Gospel® 2. ANY of the rites performed in MORMON 'temples' 3. Any data that has EVER been used to find ANY of the locations found in the BoM.
