When I was little, you could only have fish on Friday. By the time I grew up, meat was optional.
Things change. Mormons haven’t cornered the market on it.
Yeah but the Catholics never changed their scripture. The Friday fish was never based on scripture. It was just a tradtion.
I don't know if the Mormon hot drink rule is based on their scripture or not. But the "eternal covenant of polygamy" is in their scriptures. And it is worthy of ridicule.
Common denominator in your examples is that men’s rules always change. And men always make rules. And men always mess things up, complicate things till they’re corrupted.
Take our government, for example. Look at what the Constitution says and what a colossal mess the courts have made of it. The tax code, myriad other examples.
Everything manmade changes, deteriorates.
We wouldn’t have an epidemic of pedophile priests if some robed churchmen hadn’t decided to alter nature and enforce celibacy on its leadership. Of course it attracted the perverted.
Ought to get some incoming fire for that, but it’s true.
NOT unless the SCRIPTURE that started it 'changes'!
MORMONism STILL has the Scripture and there is NO evidence that a LIVING Prophet® has received ANY 'revelation' to change past practices!!
