It does not surprised me that you are having a hard time or unable to receive!
LOL, oh contrair resty, I understand quite well. No longer believe in continuing revelation? Do living prophets still take precedence over canonized scripture?
Or do you take the tack that the words will conform to what has already been revealed. If that is the case, then clearly mormonism is invalid because its teachings are in direct opposition to what the Bible reveals.
According to Michael Ash at FAIR, a third way is when the hearer/reader is ‘moved by the Holy Ghost' that the material becomes "doctrine". Really now Resty, how can you say otherwise? Did the Holy Ghost 'decieve' all those mormons into believeing FALSE DOCTRINES upon hearing the prophets at General Conferences - and for that matter, why the big deal about GC - its just their opinions.
Really now resty, I don't have problems receiving as long as lsd can figure out what exactly they are suppose to be giving.
2 Nephi 3:18 And the Lord said unto me also: I will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins; and I will make for him a spokesman. And I, behold, I will give unto him that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins, unto the fruit of thy loins; and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.
Joseph Smith Translation Gen. 50: 27 Thus saith the Lord God of my fathers unto me, A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren.
Joseph Smith Translation Gen. 50: 31 Wherefore the fruit of thy loins shall write, and the fruit of thy loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins of Judah, shall grow together
