Bump for later.

Just looking to study and learn, not get involved in the debate as I’m nowhere near a theologian and wouldn’t get past the first challenge of any kind.

Cheers,

You want ME to engage in MINDREADING of something that supposedly happened a couple of decades ago??

[Old Mountain man]

But Elsie, you are so good at mindreading!

Remember this thread?

Everything you had to say/show to me was done there. You chose one path, I chose another.

Have a good day.

Remember this thread?

Nope - I don't retain too swell.

If something pops up in a thread, I will probably respond similarly again.

So your post 23 means what? If I were a guessing man I would say you are calling me a liar.

If not and you expect me to take your advice and be impressed with your cut and paste skills regarding religion, I’m not buying what you’re selling.

As I noted before, your boorish behavior in previous threads doesn’t hold a shine.

In other words, if you don’t have anything positive or constructive to say to me, don’t post it. And if my opening statement is the truth, then don’t post to me again.

Thanks for the warning.

Here's a keen addition to your reference list. ;o)



Ireland, a little island at the edge of Europe that has known neither Renaissance nor Enlightenment--in some ways, a Third World country with, as John Betjeman claimed, a Stone Age culture had one moment of unblemished glory. For, as the Roman Empire fell, as all through Europe matted, unwashed barbarians descended on the Roman cities, looting artifacts and burning books, the Irish, who were just learning to read and write, took up the great labor of copying all of western literature--everything they could lay their hands on. These scribes then served as conduits through which the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian cultures were transmitted to the tribes of Europe, newly settled amid the rubble and ruined vineyards of the civilization they had overwhelmed. Without this Service of the Scribes, everything that happened subsequently would have been unthinkable. Without the Mission of the Irish Monks, who single-handedly refounded European civilization throughout the continent in the bays and valleys of their exile, the world that came after them would have been an entirely different one--a world without books. And our own world would never have come to be.

HUH?

You were called NOTHING!

I posted info from LDS sources.

I said I did NOT remember posting this to you before.

What is the problem here?

And if it's not?
