I said FR period not the RF which is also a joke if the very foundation is composed of things that hinder the presents of the Spirit of the Lord in the first place all of this is in vain!

What are you yammerin' about again, Resty?

Are you so desperate to change the focus of this thread that you have first try to focus it on me -- and then some imaginary fantasy language issues?

OK. "Have it your way," to quote a certain commercial. You just brought up that which hinders the "presents" [sic] of the Lord from being here on these threads. I have some pertinent questions for you:

How can the "presents" [sic] of the Mormon gods even be here when...?:

(a) Brigham Young taught: "Some would have us believe that God is present everywhere. It is not so. He is no more every where present in person than the Father and Son are one in person" (Discourses of Brigham Young, pp. 23-24).

So, apparently you're not talking about one of the Mormon gods who masquerades as the Father-God of Christianity, who is everywhere! 'Cause to reference us back to the article of this thread, #5 cites the prophet Jeremiah: "Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord." Jer. 23:23-24

(And here Saundra Duffy, not very long ago on a thread, was claiming that Jesus isn't limited in any way...but the Mormon "prophets" limit God's presence???)

But, Resty, you also said "the Spirit of the Lord...so perhaps you were talking about the Holy Spirit. But did not your sixth "prophet," Joseph F. Smith, who wrote D&C 138, say...?:

(b): “The Holy Ghost as a personage of Spirit can no more be omnipresent in person than can the Father or the Son...” (Joseph F. Smith, 6th Lds “prophet,” Discourses on the Holy Ghost, N.B. Lundwall, ed., p. 53)

So there ya go, Resty. Brigham said the Mormon jesus' literal dad was limited...he keeps up his place @ Kolob. (I'm sure he's not traversing to freeperland very often). And then Joseph F. Smith comes along as the 4th "prophet" later & says, "Nope. The Holy Ghost ain't no more everywhere than the other 2 gods are."

So pray tell, Resty what "presents" [sic] are you talking about?

I'll bet you whoever converted you from Presbyterianism, Resty, never told you about their theological handcuffs that they placed on the omnipresence of the Mormon gods, did they? ('Cause the way you talk about the "presents [sic] of the Spirit of the Lord" almost seems like a throwback vocabulary to your Christian days)

The desperation shown by the mormons in this thread and in mine, International Appearances of the Resurrected Jesus with their continuous ad hominem attacks and lack of rebuttal is very interesting.

They have NO way to counter the articles that are posted with actual mormon belief and doctrine.

Must suck to be them.
