Sorry, my God is bigger than that - He has preserved His word to us.
Given that the best scholars of their day, the Pharisees and Sadducees, missed Jesus Christ whilst he was among them the appeal to their authority rings hollow.
Pot meet kettle then, since you are making the same appeal to authority. Sorry 10, those citations (among many others) provide the foundation to show that ex nihlo was in existance far before your claims.
I’d suggest you grab a copy of the Hebrew Study Bible and re-read Genesis.
10, you've already shown that you cannot even handle Greek study tools, let alone Hebrew. Thats about par for the course, since smith couldn't handle egyptian - resulting in the discredited book of abraham - as well as fake plates (kinderhook). I guess when you accept that reformed egyptian translates to 'adieu' anythings possible.
The Catholics and LDS repair that by priesthood authority and popes/prophets.
I'm sure narsis and other catholics will have very different viewpoints on the equivalence of your respective 'priesthoods' and popes/prophets - especially since lds have always considered Catholicism to be the Whore of Babylon.
You and I have to use the Bible to discuss these things. We must believe what it says.
If so - why is there any need for spurious works of mormonism.
You ought to pitch for the Cubs - they could use all those fast curve balls. LOL. Have a good weekend and enjoy your Independence Day.
Let’s agree to disagree and stay FRiends.
Our family is reading the Declaration as part of our celebration, just like when we read the story of Christ’s birth at Christmas or the first Thanksgiving at Thanksgiving.
It’s shocking what we’ve forgotten as a people. Ciao.
