I’m holding in my hand my black hardcover copy of Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie, one of Mormonism’s most influential books, an all-time Mormon bestseller, which went out of print this week.
A book written, I’m sure, with the best of intentions by a revered Mormon leader. And, still, a book that continued to circulate even after other high-ranking Mormon leaders recommended more than one thousand corrections to its content.
A book that called Roman Catholicism the “Church of the Devil.” And a book that elevated to doctrinal status non-doctrinal folklore about the origins of the LDS Church’s ban on conveying priesthood authority to members of African descent, claiming that blacks were the descendents of the accursed Cain.
A book that due to its authoritative presentation and doctrinal fundamentalism gave many Mormons reasons for grief.
Mormon Doctrine (1958 – 2010), RIP.
LOL. With any luck.

No, no COFFEE or TEA! Even if it’s ICED. Don’t you remember that even though the D&C said HOT, it now means all versions of those “unclean” beverages to include caffeinated as well?

Well...it is supposed to be a form of “punishment” is it not?
;-)
good point thatl.
Time flys. :-)
Also, your quote from that source that Oswald Chambers was "certified by Southern Baptist Convention in anti-Mormon polemics" is false.
It very well could be. I'm not vouching for that website. I'd be curious, however, how you know it to be false.
I'm surprised you got a capital LOL out of him. Well maybe not.
I'm still waiting.
ya me too. :-)

Because the SBC has no such thing as ‘certification in anti-Mormon polemics’.
OY.
You could very well be correct but I kinda like to verify. You know this how?
Be that as it may the quote isn't the the end all, be all. Just google "Oswald Chambers and Mormonism" and discover the hoards of those who use quotes from his book for anti-Mormon polemic. OY.
truth? Some people club others over the head with what they think is the truth.
Busybodys don’t recognize it either.
1 Timothy 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
Perfect.

I used to work for an SBC church/school. I looked into it to see if I could get it too.
YOU ainb’t BONA FIDE!
“And stay OUT of WOOLworth!”
You may be correct. Did you call there? How did you look into it and what was the response?
