Mormons have some really weird beliefs. For example, many (all) Mormons believe they (males only) can take a cooking/salad oil, pour just a small drop on the crown of your head and their god will heal them of almost anything.
Mormons believe that by wearing ugly underwear bought from a specific company, their god will protect them from harm.
Mormons believe that by wearing a really weird looking costume they are taught secret ways to touch angels so after they die, the angels will let Mormons get into heaven quicker.
Mormons believe their god requires women to not wear outer clothing that covers their crotch (pants) to worship their god in a large and spacious room (chapel).
Mormons believe that a little torn piece of bread and a small sip of water that has been chanted over and then swallowed will require their god to forgive them for their sins.
Mormons believe by consuming certain foods and wearing funny looking clothes god loves them more than the rest of the humans.
It is the same with all parents. We love our children more or less depending upon how ugly their clothes are and how they consume small bits of food items.
The Mormon god must have a sense of humor watching his "SPECIAl" children called Mormons think this makes god love them the most.
That's stupid. Is there such a thing as "scripture" that is not Holy?
James was not an apostle and did not even claim to be, and I do not automatically accept what you call default.
You just got done apparently claiming that there is such a thing as "unholy" or "uninspired" scripture. Who cares what you do or do not accept? You don't give me any reason to believe you. I worry about your opinion about as much as I do the hobo's who shouts at passing cars.
That’s stupid for two reasons:
1) You deny the authenticity of Paul’s writings without giving any reason to.
2) Paul is a Jew, and Jews are monotheists.
We might assume Paul told them at another time but we do not know, if he did not then it is false teaching to say some one is going to hell for believing in the trinity which is three.

Lol, I was not giving my opinion, I was just saying that the actual scripture does not say quite the same thing you said, it does make a big difference ya know.
Well then, answer the question: Is there such a thing as "scripture" that is not inspired or holy? I'd like to hear how far the rabbit hole goes with you.
It is not possible. The entire Epistle is about the controversy of the Jews and those who wanted to circumcise the Gentiles! How could they be ignorant of the Jewish religion when Paul is defending them from its abuses?

How is that even logical? Even if your silliness was true, you would have us believe that the condemnation of being "accursed" would cease the moment they learned there is only one God, even though, under such instruction, it would still be part of the same message that Paul here makes clear must be followed.

How would the gentiles know unless they were told that they could not believe as the Mormons do that there are three in the God head instead of one?
And there is no record of Paul telling them, shame shame for trying to add what you want to the scriptures.

It used to to be; MUCH so!
Then I came to realize; FINALLY!; that it's NOT my job to do ALL of these functions:
John 4:37
Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.
Someone needs to pull the weeds and others chase the birds away and the little foxes, too.
You should actually BE there some time!
Especially after a shower has washed the land. The aroma is scintillating!
Hecky durn; our Number Two Living Prophet has damned ALL us SLC Mormons to HELL!!
--Mormon_Dude(?)
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
If old BY ever changed his mind on this; I'm just SURE some Mormons in this thread will post the data; right?
Not quite.
Reply #81 said, "This is leftist language."
Using the TOOLS of the left, perhaps inadvertently, does NOT mean you are a Leftist.
We must take care to frame our arguments with facts and data and not name calling and emotion.
You'd better hurry before the REST of California moves there!
You DID?
It must have disappeared b efore I got to read it.
What number was it?
Golly; you must have missed the countless times I've been asked by a Catholic to REVEAL my religion and I did.
I won't tell you to 'Look it up for yourself!'
My 'religion' is Christian.
I attend a WESLEYAN denomination's congregation.
