So, do Mormons still have the right to post appropriate Caucus threads?

Many are interested in a clear position.

One way to find out!

[T Minus Four]

Obviously you represent yourself as having *shakeable faith*

Absolutely not. I stand on rock. It's my walk that's a bit shakey at times :-)

So are you saying that Mormon's, in general, DO have the right to post Caucus threads and that you are not making a special prohibition against Mormons in particular?

You are after those, acting in concert, who disrupt the proper use of Caucus threads.

Are those your Goats Elsie? What a great playground for them...was such fun watching. Thanks for the video.

Do you keep the whole law, Delph?

To the Best of my ability, Jesus will be my judge, not you.

OK, this is funny, James 2:11 the very next scripture, uses Murder as a law to break which makes you an adulterer as well.

11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

Kill anyone lately? If not, you are keeping one law, and by your logic must keep them all...

I knew this would be good for a laugh!

Then there's James 10:14-26, same chapter, just a bit further down. It kind of puts another few nails in the coffin of "we've already been saved by grace and don't need to do anything" theology.

Twisting

A twisting dive performed from a 3 meter springboard.Dives with multiple twists and somersaults are some of the most spectacular movements, as well as the most challenging to perform.

The rules state that twisting 'must not be generated manifestly on take-off'. Consequently, divers must use some of the somersaulting angular momentum to generate twisting movements. The physics of twisting can be explained by looking at the components of the angular momentum vector.

As the diver leaves the board, the total angular momentum vector is horizontal, pointing directly to the left for a forward dive for example. For twisting rotation to exist, it is necessary to tilt the body sideways after takeoff, so that there is now a small component of this horizontal angular momentum vector along the body's long axis. The tilt can be seen in the photo.

The tilting is done by the arms, which are outstretched to the sides just before the twist. When one arm is moved up and the other is moved down (like turning a big steering wheel), the body reacts by tilting to the side, which then begins the twisting rotation. At the completion of the required number of twist rotations, the arm motion is reversed (the steering wheel is turned back), which removes the body's tilt and stops the twisting rotation.

An alternative explanation is that the moving arms have precession torque on them which set the body into twisting rotation. Moving the arms back produces opposite torque which stops the twisting rotation.

Yoo hoo? Working on finding me a missing vital truth?

He thinks he can save himself.

Really Du are you forgetting that under mormon doctrine, you must keep the law perfectly and completely for your salvation.

How are your wandering eyes been doing?

Still repenting for sins you’ve repented of at least once already?

At Sacrament meeting each week, do you renew your covenants to keep God’s commandments?

Have you walked blameless before God? Are you sufficiently humble, stripped of pride and envy? Would it be honest to admit that you have not done “all” you can do for salvation and that you are “not prepared to meet God”?

Have you denied yourself of “all ungodliness”?

Do you keep God’s commandments “continually?”?

Tell us how your works are going to save you Du

Horse shoes and hand grenades.

wait, I thought there was pretty much universal salvation in the LDS church. The works are just to gain levels of heaven.

Never was very clear what they needed Jesus for.

[Jim Robinson]

I’m saying what I said. If they act in concert to violate the spirit of the caucus privilege, then they’ll lose the privilege. Period. It’s pretty simple. From that point forward ALL of their threads will be considered OPEN threads where open debate, critique and dissent is allowed. Perhaps Religion Moderator can couch my comments in more appropriate terms conforming to the Religion Forum rules, but that is my intent.

Why do Mormons always quote the one “DUH” prophecy Joseph Smith made when so many of them were false?

When one is drowning they'll grasp at the first solid device they can get their hands on.

This thread on Mormonapologetics.org discusses what is required to make it to the Celestial Kingdom.

It might be of interest to you. Out of curiosity, I’m wondering if you can see this thread at the link without registering. Will you please let me know?

How neat is that! What do they do in the winter with the animals...or is it a warm climate?

DelphBTW, I am a descendant of Abraham with the genealogy to prove it.

I would like proof.

Post it. Now.

You'll have to buy the book.

What the Heck, I am still researching Charles Melson Pension application The earliest record that we have of him is his pension record from the Revolutionary war, he was a private. There are two oral traditions, one that he came over as an indentured servant, and first served for his master, then served on his own after his time was up, the other is that he came over as a red coat and turn-coated to fight for the colonists. Both stories say he changed his name one to avoid the death penalty of the redcoats the other to avoid the possibility of being re-indentured. We do know that he was friends with John Dent, descendant of the famous clock maker who built Big Ben in London. If anyone has information on where Charles Melson came from birth records, family bible, parish records, I would be most grateful for any assistance. Please FM me.

I can see it. It’s so...pathetic.
