I Said: This statement is self contradictory, for if you are going to ask about something, you cannot already have made up your mind.
You Said: This statement is unattainable; for there is NO ONE that has such a blank slate for a mind.
I did not say a blank slate, In your
post #681 You Said:
"BTW...I've read the BOM...and have known it to, from fasting, and praying in faith and with earnestness of heart to be a fraud from the beginning."
"To be a fraud from the Beginning" is not exactly approaching something with an open mind.
Perhaps you misspoke and meant to say you approached the Book of Mormon with an open mind and learned or yourself that it is not true. You could have meant that, but it is not what you said. I do not claim to be a mind reader, please say what you mean, or accept that people will not understand you.
I for one am Shocked that out of a my long post including my testimony of Jesus Christ, I got a one sentence response from you. Maybe, just maybe, you read the Book of Mormon with the same attention span, just a thought.
It seems, from re-reading your
post #681 That you came to a "Logical" rather than a spiritual conclusion, if that is so, I would encourage you to try again after opening your mind a bit. It is also, not logical to believe that a man over 2,000 years ago, walked on water and died for your sins. (Which is the perspective of many non christians about what we believe)
Religion, does not have to be logical to those who do not have the same basic faith, the "This is true, so..." mentality. Which is why Mormons may seem to be logical in everything but religion to some other Christians, in that case, accept us as we are in all things political (this is a site whose avowed purpose is political) and just agree to disagree (politely) and we can work together on the issues of getting conservatives in office.
If you continue to attack us, I will continue to invite all who are reading these threads to
Put our religion to "The Test" by
getting a free Book of Mormon and if they don't already have one,
getting a free Bible Reading both and praying about Both, to see if the same spirit will not testify to them that Both are God's word.
If you truly believe that God will tell people the Book of Mormon is not his work, then you should be encouraging them to read and pray also. I having received a Witness direct from God, know that if they are sincere, they will receive a witness as I did, so we should be in agreement on this one point: Everyone should get a copy of both the Book of Mormon, and the Bible. Everyone should pray about both, and if everyone does, the discussion here will end for it will be moot, thus I am attempting to end this discussion by inviting all to as God for He will give them and answer far more meaningful than anything you or I could say.
OO, have a blessed day, and God bless you.
