 Deceptive IMHO based on not printing the entirety of Alma Ch 11. minus the weights and measures verses.
 
Why did you want to leave them out??

 ALMA Chapter 11

 

3 And the judge received for his wages aaccording to his time—a bsenine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold; and this is according to the law which was given.

4 Now these are the names of the different pieces of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value. And the names are given by the Nephites, for they did not reckon after the amanner of the Jews who were at Jerusalem; neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews; but they altered their reckoning and their measure , according to the minds and the circumstances of the people, in every generation, until the reign of the judges, they having been bestablished by king Mosiah.

5 Now the reckoning is thus—a senine of gold, a seon of gold, a shum of gold, and a limnah of gold.

6 A senum of silver, an amnor of silver, an ezrom of silver, and an onti of silver.

7 A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain.

8 Now the amount of a seon of gold was twice the value of a senine.

9 And a shum of gold was twice the value of a seon.

10 And a limnah of gold was the value of them all.

11 And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums.

12 And an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums.

13 And an onti was as great as them all.

14 Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning—

15 A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley.

16 And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon.

17 And a leah is the half of a shiblum.

18 Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.

19 Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

 
They ARE a bit confusing; especially that #10 verse.  What does THEM mean?
 
And, what exactly is a measure?

There is a fundamental difference in Christianity believing the Bible as authoritative scripture, and the sole source of truth, and those who believe that God must continue to speak to his children as an absolute necessity for the preservation of absolute truth.

And why do you believe this is so?

Wow .... before you explain my beliefs to me could you please cite the LDS scriptures which you are referring to?

Everyone in this thread can see and read LDS scripture but you.

I would ask kindly that you stop printing the truly blasphemous and vile comments you relate to LDS Doctrine that you will find exactly nowhere in the four volumes of scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ or in books printed by the Church.

If you'll point them out; I'll surely not use them.

Golly!

Lots of vague accusations and yet no evidence to show the jury.

They ain’t gonna do the work for you!

I’m curious, do you agree with the Roman Emperor Theodosius that all Christians that do not believe in the Nicene Creed should be executed?

It’s an honest question, since your tone comes across as extremely hate-filled.

To violate ones word is never OK.

Unless it is 'Lying for the Lord.'



Or maybe, "Answering the question that SHOULD have been asked."

It's like dealing with Muslims, who believe lying is perfectly fine toward non-muslims.

Since I have a Filipina wife, I guess I would be screwed by the cult of Mormonism. 😁😆 Down with evil cults.

OK Mr. Perfect Union .... which Anti-Mormon Fake news to you want me to respond to today?

It won’t really matter, because, I’ll give you a reasonable sounding response and you’ll be outraged that it doesn’t match your Anti-Mormon Fake News source....

.... and you’ll call me a liar.

... and ... your claiming to be a Christian who seeks to be Christ-like?

Elsie ... I have a question for you.

Was Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God the Father as described in the New Testament?

.....you’ll have to take a break from reading your anti-mormon fake news to blow the dust off your New Testament.

(Hint ..... it’s in the book marked “B I B L E”)

Wow .... Saul,

I think that you should perfect your union a little more.

Your truth meter is broken .... no wonder why you can only attack other peoples faith in Christ with no ability to back up your own.

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

I suspect, that God/Christ will be a little upset after reading your slanders of people likely much more righteous than yourself.

For someone claiming to be a Christian .... you don’t act very Christ-like.

Teppe, after you demonstrated who you are, through the continual ad hominem attacks, and breaking your word which is dishonest at best, I really have no interest in interacting with you.

Elsie .... you truly are obsessed with my religion.

Just think if you were as obsessed with helping people to be more Christ-like .... instead of seeking to destroy their faith in Christ.

Lay off the Anti-Mormon Fake News every once in a while... (I hear that over-indulgence in it produces gas .... and you’ve been over-indulging for a L O N G time!)

I have never broken my word, frankly I don’t remember ever giving you ‘my word’. I think that focusing too much on anti-mormon fake news makes you lose touch with reality.

And you have no interest in interacting with me because I insist that you justify your own religion after you have slandered mine.

And the reason why you don’t .... is because you CAN’T!!! And you dislike discovering the depth of your hypocrisy.

You have demonstrated that you only have the ability to destroy other peoples faith .... not defend your own.

Teppe, I wish you well, but your posts have demonstrated issues that make me not want to interact with you further.

Time to shake the dust off your feet, and leave the Mormons to their own devices. 👍🔥

Can you explain the thought process you used to come up with this conclusion?
