  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Jenda quote:

Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, might, mind and strength
Love one another as I have loved you
Baptisms (as spoken of by Christ (and Paul))

These are in the Bible. I prolly should have asked "about a specific list of plain and precious parts" left out of the Bible.

I am not allowed to answer that question on this board.

Huh??

I did not want you to think that I am ignoring it.

Heaven forbid I would think that....

Thank you for the critical suport. I will say in the Magazines defense, however, that some of what it says is correct, and it isn't all writen by the same person. But I agree now, that I have done a little more research, that what I said is a little fantasy tale that the person probably made up.

mormonism....erm...can i be really blunt? no offense to anybody but it's bs . I did a bunch of research on it.

Just out of curiousity: Did your research include a reading the Book of Mormon? If so, what is your opinion of King Benjamin's address as found in Mosiah 2-5?

I personally have found the Book of Mormon to be widely criticised by people who have never bothered to read it.

I think the Messianic prophecy of chapter 3 [supposedly written ca, BC 130]


is way more precise than than ANY canonical Messianic prophecy and reads like one who read the gospels first and then crafted a prophecy.

Are there any copies of this prophecy outside the BoM? ANY MANUSCRIPT evidence WHATSOEVER?

When was Jesus called the Father of Heaven (except Mosiah)?

And note at the end of the quote the two added groups:

[1] who have died not knowing the will of God concerning them
[2] or who have ignorantly sinned

Seems like [1] is laying a foundation for LDS postmortal gospel preachin and [2] for LDS accountability only after age 8.

This passage alone casts doubt on the BoM's authenticity.


Lo, waseth that what thou was't looking for?

~ NEHI (It's easy to write prophecy after the fact!)

What do you think of this utterance....

"Verily I sayeth to you that a looking glass will become a peep stone and a 'Reformed Eyptian' funery notice will bring forth a new priesthood of the God who resides nigh unto Kolob." -- ca. 1815 (Utterred by Nehi's great, great, great grandfather -- Mehi)

What constitutes evidence? Serapha is looking for a sign that says "Lehi slept here". Is that what you are looking for? Are you looking for a buried treasure trove of plates with strange hieroglyphics on them that no one can read?

Just curious.

Maybe this is fodder for another thread, but what is it with the age of accountability thing? Is any person held accountable for their actions before they come to Christ? We are all sinners, and only by the grace of God are we cleansed when we respond to the call God places on our hearts.

Getting baptized at age 8 doesn't mean one has come to Christ (any more than infants who are baptized have come to Christ (but I don't see anyone picking on that practice)), it means that that is when they begin to really understand the difference between right and wrong, and can choose the right.

I covered this and all your other queries in my "Contradictions between the Bible and the BOM thread" in exactly the same order you have given. Perhaps they were cut-and-paste from the same anti-mormon website?

You know, if you really want to do some research, you need to do some research, Throwing mud to see what sticks is hardly scholarly.

Tell you what. Pick your ten best objections and if you agree to unite with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through baptism if I refute all of them, I'll gladly answer them once more!
