[Elsie]

We know how Scripture defines a FALSE prophet!

[MHGinTN]

Asked of God and began reading the BofM, and the result has been rejected by Mormonism Apologists at FR. And mine is not the only negative answer that the Apologists have rejected. If it doesn’t fit the hive template it is not of the hive don’tchaknow.

[Elsie]

Does this mean anything to you, *#&$%?

Keep this up and even YOU won't be ALLOWED to post to SOMEone.

[restornu]

Correct, not their bodies, their spirits, there souls.

Matt 27
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

Excuse me MHGinTN, it does not say spirits it say bodies

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

[editor-surveyor]

"Condemning them would require that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob be condemned as well."

It is not for us to condemn, but Abraham, and Jacob brought curses and grief on their lives by their disobedient poligamous (read adulterous) lives.

[Elsie]

Though I may not agree with Resolute Conservative's, Elsie's, or Colofornian's (and others) religious views I'm fairly positive when the time comes to push a button, punch a hole, or flip a lever their going to be doing it with conservative values in mind and not religious beliefs.

And in this spirit; you are my brother.

[MHGinTN]

Excuse me, Resty, but you haven’t answered whether bodies went with Jesus’s body when He ascended before the disciples.

[Elsie]

No one can tell if I am spelling correctly when I am speaking.

[JoshM99]

Moses is not in his grave still.

You still did not explain Elijah’s being whisked up to Heaven. Nor that John was not granted his desire to remain immortal on this earth.

[Elsie]

Could be (or not) to have people rely on faith and testimony about the divinity of the Book of Mormon.

[JoshM99]

I already know it is in error. It is not my belief.

[restornu]

Oaky, Resty, where in the verses you quoted does it say that these ‘out of the grave’ bodies went with Jesus’s resurrected body into Heaven?

That is because after Jesus Christ restored his Church and precious truths Book of Mormon and other standard works I am being taught by the Holy Spirit my discernment of things that have been dormant are now being made aware to me!

[JoshM99]

You are in error ... do a word search on resurrection of the body

All the righteous souls were resurrected when Jesus was resurrect!

[MHGinTN]

So you try to attribute a falsehood, false belief to me? Nice tactic that ... red herring time.

[JoshM99]

And here we are in disagreement thanks to modern day revelation, which confirms that John would not taste of death until Christ’s return.

[MHGinTN]

“...and many bodies of the saints ...” many now means ALL in Mormonism Apologetics.

[Elsie]

One of the important distinctions in Mormon belief over other Christian faiths is the revelation that God the Father has a tangible body as does His Son, Jesus Christ.

And we know that the Bible indicates just the opposite.

It goes so far as to say NO ONE has 'seen' the Father.

[Ciexyz]

Most interesting.

[Elsie]

Moses never died and Elijah was ...

HUH???

[JoshM99]

I didn’t understand your reply.

Not all are given the same answer. I know others who have read the Book of Mormon and did not accept it. Often, there were outside influences that had more to do with it.
