So upset because I merely point out what your 'scriptures' say!

No, not if you actually pointed out what they say, but you read a part, ignore the rest and thing you have understood. Wait, didn't you earlier try to prove God was a chicken with the Bible? What if I harped on that for the rest of Freeperdom wouldn't that get old? Wouldn't you get fed up with explaining over and over that it was an logical exercise with humor? You keep straining at gnats and swallowing camels whole and i just have to wonder when you will get full.

I didn't lay the eggs; I merely colored them - red.

It's not easter, and those aren't eggs.

You want to 'interpret' them so they do NOT say what they plainly say; I can't stop you.

LOL! no, I (the guy IN the church) interpret them as they were written, you the guy who does not believe them to be scripture are trying to tell me i don't understand my own scriptures.

Well, one of us does not understand, but it's not me.

But for you to blame ME for what your founder wrote is, well... strange.

Again, with the interpretation? can you actually read my posts, or is there a filter of some kind on your monitor? I blame you for trying to interpret my words and my statements of belief by your perspective, instead of taking them as written. Now if you are hungry, you will probably interpret this post to be an invitation to dinner, IT'S NOT A DINNER INVITATION!

DU, I'm not trying to 'interpret' YOUR words and what YOU'VE written; but what JS had written, so long ago.

Joseph smith in D&C 9:5-9

5 And, behold, it is because that you did not continue as you commenced, when you began to translate, that I have taken away this privilege from you.
6 Do not murmur, my son, for it is wisdom in me that I have dealt with you after this manner.
7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore,

you shall feel that it is right.
9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.

So, going back to the FIRST thing I said:

You guys search for a FEELING to see if what you've been told is true.

Therefore the question is; did JS emphasize feelings or not?
