Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, reprinted in Gnosis ^ | Fall 1994 | Lance S. Owens

Isn’t the Kabbalah part of Jewish Mysticism ? (as well)

[Nifster]

And since the dude in the WH is an avowed communist I am sure you will be posting about that soon too....no?

[Nifster]

And the anti-religionist in the WH is not a legit concern???

[Nifster]

And can we not in the religion forum point out that the WH is occupied by a God hating communist???

[UCANSEE2]

first post on this religion forum thread to bring in politics.

Since you brought it up... (not trying to divert the thread, but your comment posed an interesting question regarding politics)...

How many Mormons are Democrats ?

This thread is posted in the Religion Forum.

I always log in to "freerepublic.com." This thread came up, and I responded. There was nothing in the message indicating that it was in the Religion Forum or that Methodists are excluded from responding to this thread. If you don't like my response, well, tough tamales!

Oh, my goodness.......nice dose not get you to heaven.
There is one way and one way only, and it is not being nice.

[svcw]

Sure ping when you post a thread about it.

[svcw]

Lots. That’s the simple.
There is nothing in mormonism that would preclude them from being liberals, which is why the mormon politicians are all liberal.

[UCANSEE2]

I have a (can u believe it?) related question.

Where did Joseph Smith come up with the name Mormon ?

[UCANSEE2]

I didn’t say nice, I said based on their behavior.

Though there is nothing wrong with nice.

[svcw]

Someone in their fantasy named Moroni.

Well.... now I've heard it all. And (didn't we do this before) you use such absolutes.

[svcw]

I didn’t say there was anything wrong with nice, I said nice doesn’t get you into heaven.

[UCANSEE2]

nice dose not get you to heaven.

Good thing that grammar and spelling aren't prerequisites for heaven or you'd be screwed.

: )

[svcw]

Really? Are you absolutely sure about that?
Oh, yea and what in my statement is an absolute as apposed to the truth?

[svcw]

Thank is just so cut

[UCANSEE2]

Someone in their fantasy named Moroni.

Moroni... an angel, correct?

Do you believe in angels?

[svcw]

Not in lds angels.

In order for me to put any belief into your statement, I would require that you had done a thorough study of Mormonism and Christianity (at a minimum) and various other religions and mythologies.

You have a powerful computer in front of you, with spellchecker and 10,000 online dictionaries, and yet you cannot spell 'opposed'.

Please explain to me why I or anyone else should give you any credibility. (and it's not the only grammar or spelling error you have made on this thread.)

You are my friend, but don't pretend to be 'above' others in your 'knowledge of the universe' or 'knowledge of the theological world' when you show an inability to master the English Language.
