[Elsie]

There is DNA evidence as well as archaeological evidence, respectively.

You are RIGHT!

And the 'evidence' PROVES that the LDS claims are bogus!

[Elsie]

Same words are in my hymnal!

What is the publishing date?

My old brown BoM published in 1950 has different wording in places than my newer blue one.

[Elsie]

That is a very nice music player!

[Elsie]

It has never spoken against Christianity. How absurd.

You obviously can NOT read! How sad.

[Elsie]

...now bitterness is starting to surface

Yes it is.

Perhaps you can counsel Dan.

[Elsie]

I would think you would welcome questions on the OPEN forum!:)

I know that I welcome ANSWERS!

[Elsie]

I laugh at your a assertion that ldsers never attack Christians.

[Elsie]

Yet if the LDS has an apologist site they are the bullies!:)

You've noticed this too?

[Elsie]

Is this the part where you go incoherent?

Thoughtful opposition will always be met with civility and discourse.

[Elsie]

That is unless you want to defend these activities as part of the true church of Christ.

You fail to mention that these were NOT part of the Presbyterians in the 1830's

A sin of omission?

[Elsie]

This haplogroup is found in Europe, not Asia.

I thought you were NOT an academic?

[Elsie]

The meaning of His words is clear:

So were these - but what good did it do?

 1 Timothy 3:2-3
 2.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
 3.  not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

 

 

1 Timothy 3:12
   A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.

 

 

 Titus 1:6
   An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 2

 

  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

 

 

[Elsie]

It was not pulled out of a hat.

Hey!

I resemble that remark!

--MormonDude(Wait your turn, Rigdon)

[Elsie]

We will be seeing more of it. The arrogance is unending.

And a LOT more Christians are TIRED of being TOLERANT!

It's time to CLEANSE THE TEMPLE!

[Elsie]

I wonder if they will issue secrtet decoder rings...

You spelled deseret wrong...

[Elsie]

You always post the lovliest pictures.

Does NOT!

He brings out the envy and covetness in me!

[Elsie]

They are, sadly, too steeped in the traditions and creeds of men to have an open mind to discuss the Biblical scriptures that patently contradict the trinity creed.

As we see in these threads again and again, TRINITY is up for discussion because the words seems to be confusing and contradictory.

What is VERY clear, however, in BOTH the BIBLE and BoM, is the COMMAND to have only ONE wife - and yet the founder of Mormonism ignored the command, and many subsequent leaders of the LDS church did the same.

Why?

[svcw]

I understand that you are saying that Jesus is the Son of God.
What I want to know is: is Jesus A son of god or THE Son of God.
Who is Jesus?

Happy typing fingers...

[ejonesie22]

That why I use the term ;-)
