I have not learned HMTL so I use them to separate what I say from what someone else said.

Wow, just wow...
Well at least you are accurate in that, not only do you not help the search, but you never give us anything at all to go on.
Hence your hand must be empty, for if you were a defendeder of the truth, if it were on your side you would be proud to defend it at every turn.
Instead we have tricks and word games...
I wonder why that is...

You have said you are a Catholic conservative,
Some Catholic posters complain of posters not telling the truth about the Catholic Church's history.
I just wondered if you think posters should be responsible for what they teach about the Catholic Church here at FR?
I do not see any misrepresentation, I only ask if you think that posters should be responsible for what they teach with there statements and questions.
...And that's another use of legalese to try and cover up obvious false doctrine.
Perhaps you could reference a passage of scripture where Christ used such a technique. I'll call this the "White Bronco" defense.

So it is true that you claim that the God of the OT was once a man who grew into His Godhood?

Good post........
Fred, enough already. For every 3,000 questions you ask, you answer zero questions directed your way. [Not a very flattering ratio]
My advice to all: Don't get sucked into Fred's vortex until and unless he starts answering ANY questions straightforwardly. There are some LDS among FREEPERS who can truly dialogue. Address your attention to them.
My post was directed toward your unacceptable characterization of those who have disagreed with you on this thread.
If you are unwilling to address that, at least be man enough to admit it.
----------------------------------------
Fredrest....please tell me what is out of context here.
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p. 266). Also, "The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, page 269).
And let's be clear...B. Young was a very important founder/prophet of LDS, correct?
And he also said this below, right? And everyone believed him too...because he IS a mormon prophet, right?
"I say now, when they [his discourses] are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible . . . " (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 264; see also page 95.)
So...give me your accounting here on these direct quotes.
You seem more concerned about typos here at FR by mere men than you do of DOCTRINES TAUGHT FROM THE PULPIT AND PUBLISHED BY THE CHURCH BY YOUR "PROPHETS".
Nice lawyering though. The attorneys in the hierarchy of the Corporation of the President of the LDS chruch must be very pleased with you.
My Catholic friends don't have an empty hand. We may disagree on a few points here and there, but they have teachings and Scripture that can least susbtiaite why the believe what they do. They don't have to bend and twist what has been said by their leaders because it is either right or wrong, and when it has been wrong and finally and fully exposed it has been vigorously refuted by the Church.

I saw an possible opportunity to use truth to counter the few hard-core-anti-Mormons here at FR.
I will wait until all this flap dies down to decide if Greg West is out to distroy FR, or if it is just some posters trying to raise his activities to that level; as a way to cover up a passable embarrassing source of truth to there activities.
It's at this point that the debate ends and you move on. That's why Jesus advised his apostles to shake the dust from their feet and move on to the next town when their message was not accepted. Likewise he advised them not to cast their pearls before swine in a similar vein.
Please don't try an compare the lucid, spiritual insights of St. Paul with the embarrassing daily mud slinging of the religion forum. If you can't see the difference, you're part of the problem.
Still undecided about that.
So far, it looks like the discussions are headed away from what I am looking for.
When you finally do get that “truth” Fred, how about letting us all in on it....
looks like the white Bronco is headed to the golf course
Look at the title and author of this thread.
OJ spent may years doing just that, since golf Courses are known hangouts for knife wielding murderers...
Self fulfilling prophecy....
yup LOL - you need to modify the neener moniker on your tagline to include this marlowe
Well you let us know when you know what we already know...
That will certainly decide it for us...
