The audience of Acts 2 and Acts 17 are the same???? No way.

Paul wasn't embarrassed that the Bereans search the scripture to see if wht he, An Apostle, said was true. Why not subject Joseph Smith to the same test? Paul calls that NOBLE!

***Kinda sad when a self-proclaimed christian has to resort to trying to tell people to NOT pray, and NOT trust the Holy Ghost.***

Kinda sad when you put words into someone's mouth so you can be sad about what you think they said.

WHY DID JOSEPH SMITH CHANGE WORDS IN HIS 'TRANSLATION' OF THE BIBLE? WHY DID JOSEPH SMITH ADD WORDS TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION IN HIS 'TRANSLATION'?

I note you still avoid a ground rule directed one-on-one discussion with Marlowe...

I am sorry Steve but you think PM is the cat Meow!

You think the LDS is ignoring him because he is an apostate, no for we pray for all who are inactived.

The LDS believe that when one leave the LDS Church, one can no longer go back to neutral ground, for this is the Lord's Church and when one who is converted leaves, they are now aline themselves with the opposition.

I left mainline Church, but I don't have contempt for it, I just disagree.

"The audience of Acts 2 and Acts 17 are the same???? No way. "

In Acts 2 they were speaking to potential converts. We follow the same patter in our missionary efforts, conversion by the Holy Ghost, not by argument. I think you greatly streach the meaning of Acts 17:11 beyond what can be justfied by the text of it. I think it only indicates that those who are familair with the scriptures are in a better position to recognize the truth than those who don't, you will notice in the next verse that it says MANY, (not ALL) of them believed.

Seaching the scripture is noble, but being so proud that you rely on only your own understanding and refuse to humble yourself and listen to the Spirit of God is NOT noble. If a person can be talked into a thing, they can be talked out of it too.

That's not a denial.

Why do you suddenly change the topic?

"I note you still avoid a ground rule directed one-on-one discussion with Marlowe... "

Then also note my reasons.
