The Seventh Article of Faith 7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. Is the following exercised in every ward? 1 Corinthians 14 (26) How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm...

"The Book of Mormon does a better job of clearly explaining how a person comes unto Christ than any other book " (W. John Walsh, http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/response/qa/bom_fullness_doctrine.htm) What verses in the BOM explaining the salvation message is missing from the Bible or...

Considering the follow passage: Matthew 27:45-52 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" And some...

Recently in my wife’s ward a man gave a talk where he mentioned that Billy Graham used the BoM to prepare his sermons. The man went on to say that the CoJCoLDS officials told him to stop. Any truth to this?

In another post questions were put to me about my thoughts on the baptism of John the Baptist. I will answer them here and put forth my own queries on this interesting subject. 1) How can John's baptism have been only for repentance if he baptised Jesus, who needed no repentance? Jesus didn’t...

Does anyone know which verse Joseph is talking about here?

An odd thing happened yesterday at the local ward that I would like to discuss. A man got up to give his testimony and he explained that he didn’t come often (many seem to know him) because God had called him to do other work with other churches. He made the statement that the other churches...

In Genesis we learn that there were many trees planted in the garden. Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Of...

According to the Bible (in several places) the salvation of the Gentiles was a mystery. Although they had a hint that the Gentiles would be saved through the house of Israel it was unknown how this could take place except that the Gentiles convert to Judaism. Ephesians 3:4-6 Whereby, when ye...

Sometime back (several times actually) I tried to come to some sort of agreement from the Mormon posters which god was which in Mosiah 15:1-4 but it didn’t go over too well. I am under the impression that perhaps there were too many moving parts. :P So I am going to try again but with an...

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. We are told by the LDS members here...

This is not a thread about whether or not God had sex with Mary. I know some will hijack this thread by trying to make it as such but this topic is important to me as I will explain and I need to ask the question. I can’t forbid anyone to post their dribble here so I will simply ignore their...

In the following verses found in the BoM I believe it clearly shows that God and Christ were one and the same and that it was in fact God that came to earth in the flesh. This of course is not the doctrine put forth in the D&C. (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 15:1 - 4) 1 AND now Abinadi said unto...

In another thread there was put forth a challenge to identify contradictions between the BoM and the Bible. I submitted that according to the BoM the Church was founded by Alma and according to the Bible it was founded by Christ. I was told this wasn’t a contradiction but a contra-indication. So...

Christians haven’t done away with the law; the law resides in a Christian’s heart as the Holy Spirit. Here below I have included a post that I wrote and posted in the 'Christian Only' section of this forum in response to those who believe we are still bound to written laws. I apologize for it’s...

In the absence of serious debate I have posted this to claim the all time record of having 8 Threads in the top ten where I am the last poster. :clap:

One thing that stands out most in these threads is the phrase that something isn’t doctrine and therefore can not be used in whatever discussion is taking place. Those who use that phrase believe it to be a valid point but others can not see this validity. If we could clear this up then it would...

I saw a thread which interested me so I copied it down and came back with my answer and it was gone. For whatever reason it disappeared off the thread I decided to go ahead and post my reply in separate threads this is one: Several scriptures were quoted and an interpretation was sought...

On doing some research on how the BoM was produced it struck me as odd all the written testimonies that can be found regarding its creation. You got written testimonies from people who saw the plates, from people who were there when Joseph, behind a curtain, translated the words, from people who...
