Thank you for your interest in my post - You have my interest. Specifically what religion (other than LDS) teaches that G-d created man to be his children - of his same substance. As far as I know Mormons are unique in believing that man has yet to learn many important things from G-d. That...

What LDS person do you know and deal with on a personal basis? Son of Zadok

Thank you for your inquiry - I believe your reference to "burning of the bosom" is likely a reference to LDS understanding of revelation from G-d by which man is able to ascertain (understand) truth. For myself it is not a separation of that which is subjective and objective (as you have...

Because I am a scientist and engineer - Joseph Smith is one of the few theologians of our era that allows critical scientific thinking concerning Genesis and a reason for man - beyond G-d creating pets for selfish purposes and an innate need to be worshiped. Science is on a threshold of a...

As a scientist and engineer - I follow the recommendation of Paul - I prove all things. For sure I do not trust those that gather grapes of thorns and figs from thistles. Son of Zadok

Is that any less creditable that claiming that schools should teach in science classes that fruit trees and other vegetation existed and flourished on earth long before the sun existed - it is what Phoebe Ann believes and teaches as part of her religion. Son of Zadok

There is a preponderance of evidence that the dinosaurs were warm blooded which would indicate that they were much more related to birds than snakes and crocodiles. Son of Zadok

I think it interesting that we discuss intelligence involved in creation. This is a very interesting thought. There is a very important concept of intelligence in the scientific community. In essence intelligence is defined as the ability to learn. I personally have no problem with...

It is interesting but if someone that is not a fan - dislikes (hates) the super bowl champions shows only the clips they want, they can be quite convincing that the "best" team in the world should not be considered competent in their sport. In essence if you want to learn about mathematics - I...

If G-d does not need our investment to save us - then why did he not make us that way to begin with? Son of Zadok

That "spirit" which encourages us to be obedient to G-d and his commandments? - do you really not believe it is good to obey G-d and keep his commandments? No wonder you get so much wrong about what LDS believe. The good in some is worth more than the good in others - you should read Matt...

Then what is your point? Why be a Christian? Son of Zadok

Okay - what would you call an egg with 100% human DNA that was cloned in an great ape? Son of Zadok

The word salvation has the same root as the word salvage. When an act of salvage is performed the person that performs the act separates that which has value from that which has no value. The act of salvage (salvation) that G-d performs is a free service and gift from G-d but contrary to the...

I do not know how many noticed recently in the news that scientists are moving forward with an effort to clone a wooly mammoth. As this effort continues to move forward and eventually ends with a possible living specimen - those that hold to traditional interpretations of Biblical scripture...

I think there is a great misunderstanding concerning the use of the name of G-d. The goal should not be to use the “correct” or “right” name as much as to use any sacred reference to G-d with respect and honor. For me the correct use of G-d’s name has less to do with what we say it is as it is...

Many of us are currently concerned with what has come to be known as “Islamic Terrorists” and somewhat with good reason. But history indicates that Christians (as a tradition) have a much worse reputation. Historically as Christians have obtained power they have been extremely brutal towards...

Hmmmmm: I look forward to more of your thoughts. Son of Zadok

Interesting post - I believe you make some good point but I have a slightly different point of view. For example I do not believe the creation was because of G-d's loneliness. I believe G-d chose the creation as an act of great love and compassion - an act that resulted in a great cost to him...

Thank you for your post - How a devout believer treats devout believers of other faiths and religion says much more about their commitment to G-d (including love for their neighbor) than it does those with whom they interact. Btw - one of the ancient titles of "the devil" is "Accuser". When...
