I am aiming high, to know God and all things.It should surprise no one but Mormons that JS didn't know things that the people of his time and place didn't know either, since it's only Mormons that believe that JS had access to all kinds of special knowledge, and that JS/the BOM is being more and more proven right with advancements in science. (Actual scientists who aren't bought off by the LDS propaganda machine don't agree with that, obviously.)
It's no surprise, then, that our resident Mormons have nothing to say in response beyond the by now very tired non-reply of "Yeah, well, you too!", as though Christians have ever claimed that God lives on or near a star named Kolob or on any other star.
And still after all the years I've spent here so far discussing things with them, I can't understand why the best they can apparently shoot for in a mixed faith environment is to be considered equal with Christianity, a religion which they and their founding prophet believe to be corrupted beyond repair. Aiming pretty low there, aren't you guys?
Not every star in our galaxy has a name. I doubt that even 1% of them have been named. No one even knows where Kolob is at.Do I understand correctly that to astronomers there is no such star as Kolob?
I checked a list of stars and the alphabetical list goes from Kochab to Kornephoros.
If there were a Kolob known to science, it should be between those two.
Kochab [or] Kokab Ursa Minor star
Kornephoros Hercules club-bearer

It is called faith.

Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of God. God has given us prophets for the perfecting of the saints.Now you finally say it. It not based on facts, in our knowledge of the God of this universe from the scriptures, but from your faith in one man, Joseph Smith. He can not, and never will, save anyone, including Himself. There is no other name by which we may be saved---Jesus Christ. None of the writings of JS point to Jesus as our ONLY Savior, the ONLY Son of God. They do point to him.
God is NOT made from nothing.LOL! God created all matter and He can destroy it if He wants. He is God, He doesn't heed the rantings of a less than knowledgeable man, JS.
Yes God has named them all and one is named Kolob.God has named them all---the real God that created them.
God is NOT made from nothing.
Yes God has named them all and one is named Kolob.
Well that means that there was never a time when nothing existed. That is not ridiculous because it is true. God has always existed and we know He is something.I never said He was and please do not get on that ridiculous line of yours.
Kolob is not a planet, it is a star close to where God lives. God's kingdom is not of the earth:Yah, could be He might have run out of names and decided to call some planet or star that----Nothing in the bible says He lives on a planet---it only says he lives on the 3rd heaven. That 3rd heaven could be much larger than any planet. He has billions of angels with Him. It could very well be a vast expanse with no planet involved at all. Other than 3rd heaven, I see no reason to believe He lives on some planet called Kolob because someone says he had a vision from God.
Your posts remind me of 1 Corinthians 13:11aWell that means that there was never a time when nothing existed. That is not ridiculous because it is true. God has always existed and we know He is something.

God has no beginning.Your posts remind me of 1 Corinthians 13:11a
God named the stars.It sounds like Kolob is something Joseph Smith made up.

Yes and yes.Is it true that some Mormons believe that Kolob is at the center of our galaxy?
Is it true that some Mormons believe that Sirius is Kolob?
Yes and yes.
