OK, well... I'll do my best.
Here is my first list of questions, based on the claims of mormonism in it's writings... Since you work hard during the day, please answer a handful when you have opportunity.
....
- If the Book of Mormon is true, why do Indians fail to turn white when they become Mormons? (2 Nephi 30:6, prior to the 1981 revision).
- If the Book of Mormon is true, then why has the Mormon church changed it? Examples are: 1 Nephi 11:21; 19:20; 20:1 and Alma 29:4. Compare these with the original Book of Mormon. (Gerald and Sandra Tanner have counted 3913 changes in the book of Mormon, excluding punctuation changes).
- How did Joseph Smith carry home the golden plates of the Book of Mormon, and how did the witnesses lift them so easily? (They weighed about 230 lbs. Gold, with a density of 19.3 weighs 1204.7 lbs. per cubic foot. The plates were 7" x 8" by about 6." See Articles of Faith, by Talmage, p. 262, 34th ed.).
- If Moroni devoutly practiced the Mormon Gospel, why is he an angel now rather than a God? (Doc. & Cov. 132:17, 37)
- Why do Mormons emphasize part of the Word of Wisdom and ignore the part forbidding the eating of meat except in winter, cold or famine? (Doc. & Cov. 89:12,13).
- Why did the Nauvoo House not stand forever and ever? (Doc. & Cov. 124:56-60).
- If Jesus was conceived as a result of a physical union between God and Mary, how was Jesus born of a virgin? (Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, p. 50).
- How did Nephi with a few men on a new continent build a temple like Solomon's while Solomon needed 163,300 workmen and seven years to build his temple? (1 Kings 5:13-18 and 2 Nephi 5:15-17).
- Why was Joseph Smith still preaching against polygamy in October 1843 after he got his revelation in July 1843 commanding the practice of polygamy? (Doc. & Cov. 132; and History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 46, or Teachings of the Prophet, p. 324).
- God rejected the fig leaf aprons which Adam and Eve made (Gen. 3:21). Why do Mormons memorialize the fall by using fig leaf aprons in the secret temple ceremonies?
And this??
Do you believe God was once a “man” like you? If so, wouldn’t that make him once a sinner like you?
“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! …I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form — like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man… I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea …he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did… Here, then, is eternal life—to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, …the same as all Gods have done before you…”—Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 345-347
We can start there.
Saul, Let’s save 2nd, 3rd and 4th base for after 1st base.
You have not proved that you can defend your own beliefs in Christ? If you can’t define/defend your own beliefs .....
.....why should I care about your attacks on my belief in Christ?
Exactly which scriptures in the New Testament do you base your belief in a Triune God????
If you reject Christ’s words in John 17:20-22 because it doesn’t fit your Christology .... how about Christ’s ascension in Mark 16:
19 ¶ So then after the a Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
So...the Lord, Christ ascended to heaven and sat on the right hand of God???
So is Christ as Lord secondary to God? God has a right hand?
He’s not a mystical three-in-one; one in three; sometimes one but never three; sometimes three but never one?
OK .... I have put your Christology in biblical ‘Check’ twice.
What is your reply? Can you defend your Christology or only attack other peoples belief in Christ? (pretty much a definition of hypocrite!)
Or .... do you reject Mark 16 as well as John 17 because it doesn’t fit the Tri-une Christology that Emperors Constantine, Julian the Apostate and Theodosius edict-ed?
