LOL, SOME posters sure do get their garmies in a twist when they get caught!

I don't believe you have the authority to tell me what I can and can't post and what I can and can't consider authoritative, you can insist that because you were not part of the conversation it didn't happen, you'll just look sillier.

Posters are free to POST all the misdirection and obfuscation they please, however the fact remains that there was a quote from a LeGrand Richards book that was posted as fact, when indeed the quote was a SUPPOSED "verbal" quote from a theologian to Orson Whitney and THEREFORE CANNOT BE VERIFIED.

I think this is the point where the term HOGWASH is appropriate!

It never ceases to amaze me how some antis will go for the lowest form of attack, underwear jokes?

FYI, Garments do not twist.

Let's see, you cut out the Part where you say "You are going to have to" and list a bunch of balderdash things I some how have to do.

Your posts are indeed ample proof, you can stop making your point now, I concede you can and have posted misdirection, obfuscation and I'll even allow Untruth...

U Said: however the fact remains that there was a quote from a LeGrand Richards book that was posted as fact, when indeed the quote was a SUPPOSED "verbal" quote from a theologian to Orson Whitney and THEREFORE CANNOT BE VERIFIED.

God spoke to Moses, there was no third party. God spoke to Saul there was no third party. John was the only one who say his visions, Much of the bible is first person account. Since when did a first person account become indamissable as evidence in public debate and when did you get to make the rules?

Lady Lawyer, can you inform my argumentative friend about the status of a first person account in law? If I am talking to Greyfoxx39, and he incriminates himself to me, can I or Can I not testify about that conversation in Court? As long as I was part of the conversation, my understanding is that it's admissable, if how ever, I heard it from a friend, it's not.

We know the exact book and the location of a copy of that book and you say that's not enough to prove it actually happened?

U Said: I think this is the point where the term HOGWASH is appropriate!

For once I agree with you, the word Hogwash is appropriate in your posts.

Now, just so lurkers don't have to jump around, the quote is:
As Dr. John A. Reiner, a Catholic Theologian said:
“You Mormons are all ignoramuses. You don’t even know the strength of your own position. It is so strong that there is only one other tenable in the whole Christian world, and that is the position of the Catholic Church. The issue is between Catholicism and Mormonism. If we are right, you are wrong; if you are right, we are wrong; and that’s all there is to it. The Protestants haven’t a leg to stand on. If we are wrong, they are wrong with us, for they were a part of us and went out from us; while if we are right, they are apostates whom we cut off long ago. If we really have, as we claim, the apostolic succession from St. Peter, there was no need for Joseph Smith and Mormonism; but if we have not that succession, then such a man as Joseph Smith was necessary, and Mormonism’s attitude is the only consistent one. It is either the perpetuation of the Gospel from ancient times, or the restoration of the Gospel in latter days.”
The citation can be traced, Here

What amazes me is that Greyfoxx39 is getting all bent out of shape over something a long dead theologian said, so what, it's not the pope, it's not a definitive statement of anything other than his belief, but some how this statement impacts Grefoxx39's opinions or beliefs in such a way that he cannot seem to leave it alone.

Interesting
