"I am not even sure how i view the trinity, but i do agree that the teaching is man made because the word is not there." (Ravenwolf, post #74)
"Irrelevant word games." (Ruy Dias de Bivar)
Restornu, the word “personage" does not appear anywhere in the Bible; it is a 14 yo pimply-faced boy made concept. (For that matter, I don't think it appears in the BoM, either).
But why stop there, Restornu?
The word "polytheism" doesn't appear in the Bible or Mormon standard words (But that doesn't stop Mormons from worshiping many gods, and trying their best to personally add to the god total, does it?)
Or...Ravenwolf AND Restornu: what about the word "monotheist." (You gonna tell Jews & Christians & Muslims that they all can't be monotheists because the word is missing from their sacred scriptures?)
The word "rapture" doesn't appear in the Bible. Is that extra-biblical as a concept? Yes, the 1,000 year reign in referenced in Revelation, but where's the words "millennium" or "millennial?"
Restornu & Ravenwolf, where's the word "Christianity" in the Bible (or even the Mormon standard works?) Because it doesn't appear, then does that mean none of us can claim to be Christians? Really?

In these days of computers i can play the professor word games just like every one else but i would much rather just use the words that i read in the scripture of the translation of my choice.
millennium” or “millennial” “rapture”? how else are they going to preach these lies unless they put a few of these words in there?
