Now we have the “ceremonial Bed” discovered in the temple for de-flowering the child brides.
Sorry, but had he become the nominee, Mitt would have been killed by the d’s over this. If Hillary can attack Barry over his preacher, can you imagine what she would do with this story?
Hold this thought.
YOU have a nice eternity, considering the FACT that whatever the reasons you so lamely give, you CANNOT post the verse to back up your claim.
You, of the MASSIVE spam shots, cannot BOTHER to post evidence for your claims.
Pathetic!
She's still there; eh?
Are you still LDS? And if so, why???
Under YOUR system, Christ COULD change His mind and the verses are silent on the will of the Holy Spirit.
First, not all evidence has been removed, you may want to read up on archeology which supports the book of Mormon (there is a surprisingly large amount of it, if you want some links, just ask.) Second the religion fell into apostasy because of pride, a lack of faith, and because of the temptings of Satan. Next?
So, you are saying that Christ came to America and failed?
The Gold plates were taken back by the angel of God who lent them to Joseph for translation, they were not "lost" God knows exactly where they are and when we are ready the rest of the plates will be translated (did you know that Joseph was only allowed to translate a portion?)
Why didn't you just say so?
the Urim and Thummim are still used by the prophet of the church today.
What are they "used" for?
Why did Constantine (a pagan) call the council to decide God's definition?
As emperor he convened it, he did not influence the council.
Why was this pagan allowed to set the agenda for God's church?
He didn't set any agenda.
Since revelations was written in AD 90, and we are told there can be no more revelation (Revelations 22:18-19), and the Council happened in 325 AD, how is this accepted as revelation, and further revelation rejected?
There is a vast difference between definition and revelation.
If this is to become the central doctrine of the church which all Christians must accept, were those who believed before 325 AD no such Dogma (because it didn't exist) not Christian, including the disciples?
The Church needed to devine what it had always believed, some who claimed to be teaching the Gospel were incorrect.
Perhaps it's been explained before, in another thread, was gonna post it but the dog ate his homework, doesn;'t want to do YOUR homework...
Blah, blah, blah, barf!
There are other ways of dealing with malcontents and name-callers, the first and best is to ignore them.
Carry on with your back-and-forth personal feuds, it's not my concern. I've made my position clear on the concept of the privacy of freepmail.
Leni
...she accuses them of not acting in a Christian manner.
HMMmmm...
This sound vaguely familar!
That defense is akin to a neighbor who puts a nasty note in your mailbox accusing you of being "gutless", a "liar" and a "drunk"; and then pounds one your front door demanding an apology for having the audacity of reading it out loud.
Matthew 10:14
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
"But we ain't Flds!!", would be the cry!!
(And the voters think: "Why take a chance?")
It was adultery, pure and simple. It happened, but not as an example for us to follow. Sin mentioned in Scripture is never mentioned for the justification of immoral behavior.
I was referring to the video in the link in #1849.
Colofornian was using absurdity to demonstrate the absurdity of many of your arguments.
I’m still waiting for evidence of Resty’s older, “higher” commandments.
What if one of them was along the lines of, “Thou Shalt Not Try To Snag Post 2,000.”
Yikes!
So, Brigham Young thought men could become Gods. If that is not antithetical to the teachings of the Bible, then nothing is.
Interesting. Seems we heard that line before. I'm surprised anyone can still get mileage out of it considering what happened the first time.
Agreed. If you do not want someone to read something you would be ashamed of, such as poison pen letters, you should not send them either in open forum or by PM. The only difference between flaming someone in public and doing so in PM is that those who do it in PM are moral cowards.
Me too!
