1) I challenge you to give specific examples of where I "denigrate" the Bible.
2) The number of Protestant denominations is a matter of fact, and is germane to the point I was making with regard to discernment of truth and resolution of differences.
3) I have no idea what "YPIOS" even means.
Taken altogether, however, you seem to be suggesting that I am a crypto-Mormon or some such nonsense. Sorry to disappoint.
I notice you're getting more confrontational and accusatory as the discussions go on. That's too bad -- perhaps you're just tired.
Actually, I have a very bad cold/flu hence the crankiness.
I am not going through all the way back through the thread, however several statements you have made are verbatim SOP LDS arguments. I don’t know if you are LDS but you wouldn’t be the first to lie about it and claim you weren’t LDS even if you were. It has happened a lot over the years on RF.
I have no problem with the number of protestant denominations, but again, they are not claiming to be the ‘one true church’ like Mormons do. All protestant churches recognize their connection and past to the Catholic church, Restorationist Churches do not (like Mormons).
YPIOS = Your personal interpretation of Scripture.
