Not exactly the act of sheep...
Not exactly the act of sheep...
When the entirety of the PSA congregation whole heartily accepts this give us a call...
Um...Resty...that wasn’t an issue in the 1820’s. So therefore, to claim that PCUSA (the liberal Presbyterians not ALL Presbyterians) condoning gay marriage is what Smith said was ‘untrue’ about Presbyterianism is not only Presentism (a bane in historical circles) but just plain laughable.
EPIC EPIC FAIL there Resty.
LOL
Thanks BM. Oh my goodness, way to funny. What a good laugh.
Hahaha! That picture really captures the essence of Glen Beck!
(Reaganaut, many Lds can't help it. It's coated on throughout Mormonism. The Book of Mormon, after all, is filled with "presentism":
--the religious issues of the day...
...when to baptize;
...camp meeting styles of the 1820s popping up in the BoM;
...the love of quoting Shakespeare a few times;
...the line And because my words shall HISS forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A aBible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible' (2 Nephi 29:3) in supposedly 6th century B.C. when no "Bible" (based upon a Greek word) had been constructed and was 3-5 centuries before even a Greek translation of the OT existed!
(Oh, and don't you love the author of 2 Nephi 29 conceding "my words shall HISS forth"???...I think God made the snake-in-the-grass who appeared in Eden drop some truth-in-advertising hints along the way)
What secret freepmail are you talking about or like to reveal LOL
You think I don’t know that what a backbitters don’t like to gossip among each others that is a given boy!
NO you missed the point than and also it is the same old story....
The Lord knows all from the beganning to the end and the Lord told Joseph as the Lord told others down through the ages!

“The Lord knows all from the beganning to the end and the Lord told Joseph as the Lord told others down through the ages!’
Surely, you are not referring to the dishonest Joseph Smith
- charlatan, womanizer, vile person? All documented, by the
way.

Cause that is NOT one of the things that “the Lord told others down through the ages!”
Oh my gosh, that was so sad! Let’s hear it for Grandpa!
Well that makes a grand total of two. I know his name for evil.
Honestly; just WHAT was UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism that JS claimed to learn?

No, it was the Methodist Church that Joseph joined after his “alleged” first vision.
