The scriptures are plain and precious. Leave it to an Evangelical to take a whole page of philosophical wandering to explain one verse of the Bible. LOL. And still get it wrong! LOL LOL.

Leave it to a Mormon apologist to cut and paste reems of FAIR LDS and FARMS heretical anti-Christian bilgespittle. Nice job, Mormon. Your insulting condescension and derision of Orthodox Christianity is the face of Mormonism to some readers. Keep revealing your spirit of anti-Christ, it is most instructive. And you are protected at FR, so feel free to insult at will, only the responses to your garbage will be pulled upon complaint.
