Thanks LDSFAQS..... I will bow out of this, since you took up the mantel, and are doing a good job explaining it. I concur by the way, just in case people think otherwise.

BTW.... Can we stop this conversation, and focus it maybe on something "specific"? We are just rambling a bunch of different things, and it takes WAY too much time to respond. Thanks. :) Good chatting with you though.

Uh, ya, more or less correct how they view things. Priests were simply what some of the leadership such as Bishops were generically called. Their could have been a separate "priest" level, I don't recall the scholarship on this off hand. Each man holds the "official" Priesthood within...

Now I didn't say that. Most Christians know from the Bible that Christ brought the Higher law to replace the lesser law when he came to the earth. I was only correcting my mistake that the Bible indicates that Moses brought down the Higher Law first before braking it. I had forgeten that...

Matthew 27:52-53 shows a "general" resurrection. But, there were particular individuals also who have been resurrected, some examples are Elias, Moses, Elijah, Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, and James. Those who have been "translated" have also technically been resurrected. Well, all I...

True statement. The Book of Mormon is pure revelation, thus the mistakes of men are few. We can know God greatly by it's words. All true.... And note how the second quote actually verifies what I already said about latter-day revelation making clear any confusion or anything missing...

They have their "portion" thereof, just like the below quote of JS states. The Doctrines of men mixing with the Doctrines of God are simply not the doctrines of God no matter how much you wish to make them so. And anyone with common sense can see that all the various so-called "traditional"...

Did you have an actual "point" to the quotes? Anyone that is actually objective wishing to know the essentials of the LDS viewpoint on these matters need to read the below pages. Joseph Smith/Polygamy/Not Biblical - FAIRMormon Mormonism and polygamy/Book of Mormon condemns the practice -...

Matter is Eternal, otherwise what's the Purpose of a Resurrection, and even Christ who was God doing it? What is the purpose of a Holy Ghost if God is ONLY spirit? Certainly he could do the job. What's the purpose of Christ being resurrected if he also is God. Does he somehow not have his body...

What exactly is your "point" Phoebe??? That LDS view other Churches as "false"??? What is new with that? We don't deny that. We don't deny there have been negative words about other Faiths. What's your point??? One would expect at least "some" negative words about other man-made religions...

Not deceptive at all. You are actually the one being deceptive. The LDS mission field is any and all that are ready to harvest. We have just as many non-religious converts as we have religious. When our missionary's go out into the world, it is literally so. We don't specifically in any way...

Exactly, and this is why those who knew not the Gospel in life won't be judged by it. They will only be judged according to what they were able to know and be, i.e. what they do with what they know. This is also part of the reason why LDS don't have ministry's nor teach against other...

1. Where does the Bible teach that we are and always will be significantly different than his creation? This is an idea added by your religion, not scripture. 2. Never said God had no ability to change or alter law. In fact, I specifically said the opposite. God can do whatever he wants...

Of course we created. A car doesn't create itself. The usage of existing elements and energy doesn't mean we aren't creating. God did the same thing. He used existing matter and energy to create the universe and the earth. When he created man, what did he do, did he create out of nothing, or...

The Priesthood was not eliminated. If you can't see this in the New Testament, then I would recommend you read it closer without the blinders of your religion. This is one example of something I saw while being in all your various religions. Christ clearly established an authoritative...

Perfect.... Makes quoting and responding much easier. I just looked at this again, and forgive me. I've been LDS so long now, things are running together. The Bible only states that the text was rewritten. It's is the JST of the Bible known as the Book of Moses which mentions more...

Sure. The Resurrection hasn't yet occurred for most. People are awaiting in the spirit world for the final judgment. Yes, it is LDS belief that there are many righteous of the earth, who follow God in the best way they know, who will be Exalted to live with God. This is the very reason we...

We believe in the Trinity the Bible actually teaches. Us not believing in the Nicene Trinity in one minor point doesn't somehow not make us in our fundamentals essentially the same as other Christians. Christians are not bound by "extra-Biblical" interpretations nor the judgments of the Roman...

And.....? Well, since I agree with what was said in those quotes, let me "mind read" your point since I know how you people think. Let me guess. You think that simply because they state that there are "requirements", then that somehow is contrary to what I stated, and that everyone else...

And the Father did the same..... Remember, Christ himself said so.
