    Modern day prophets & revealed scripture

    Do you realize that the book of Genesis, with its 78 pages, covers essentially the first 3,000 years of man's existence? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the writings of Adam? Or, how about Enoch? I'll bet he'd have something to tell us wouldn't he? Or Noah? Or even Abraham...

    Are Jesus and Lucifer brothers?

    Sorry to hear that. As I've indicated before I have nothing but respect for you and your ability to defend your religious views.:)

    Apostolic Succession

    I agree with everything written here. It is the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints that apostolic succession, or the authority to act in God's name, was lost soon after the death of the original apostles. The church fell into apostasy. Thus the need for a...

    Does God allow witchcraft to work?

    Samuel would not have deigned to obey the beckoning call of a witch. An authorized and powerful servant of God obeying a servant of the devil? The thought makes me cringe. No, the spirit that was summoned was also another follower of the devil. And that is always the case! True servants of...

    Does God allow witchcraft to work?

    Huh?? The soul just kind of exists in some amorphous undefined whatever beyond time and space. That's nonsense and false doctrine.

    Does God allow witchcraft to work?

    Neither God, or Samuel, would obey the directives of a witch. Are you kidding? The witch of Endor summoned somebody, but only someone who would pay any attention to the Satanic power she was using. The person she spoke to was an evil spirit, doing their best to imitate Samuel.

    Book of Enoch?

    I would LOVE to read the teachings and writings of Enoch! Or Adam! Or Abraham! We don't even have the writings of the FATHER of the Israelite nation in the Biblical canon. It just goes to show that the Bible is a compilation of some books, but that it is not a complete canon of ALL the...

    Are Jesus and Lucifer brothers?

    You need to note that Francine now has her religion listed as "Taoist.":) Can you explain Francine?

    I agree. I wasn't paying attention to the details.:) You can read about Kolob as a governing planet in Abraham 3.

    Roli, do you realize that the book of Genesis, with its 78 pages, covers essentially the first 3,000 years of man's existence? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the writings of Adam? Or, how about Enoch? I'll bet he'd have something to tell us wouldn't he? Or Noah? Or...

    I accept what you're saying as well Katzpur, and thanks for joining the conversation. My concern is that to someone peering in from the outside it may appear that we don't accept these concepts as doctrine, when in fact we do. I am sure that Bishka's intentions were all good.:)

    I know that the first edition had multiple issues, and that it was revised extensively as a result. I also know that McConkie is still considered one of the great scriptorians of the church. But regardless, when Roli makes a statement about the plan of salvation using McConkie as his source...

    That's interesting. I didn't know that.

    Bishka, I know that Roli has been very antagonistic but I wonder if we're not taking the whole "this is not doctrine" thing too far. I hesitate to say anything as this has not been my argument, but to an outside observer things are starting to come across as though the Mormons can discount the...

    Following are some of the things that distinguishes the LDS church not only from the JW's but from the rest of the Christian world as well: 1) The claim that we have prophets and apostles at the head of our church. 2) Revelation is once again pouring down from heaven as in times of old. 3)...

    Is Trinity in the Bible?

    One thing is crystal clear. Wherever we find discussion of the Trinity we find confusion, chaos, and debate. In my opinion, this could not be the teaching of the Holy Spirit!

    I could quote two or three scriptures from the Doctrine & Covenants (modern revelations received by Joseph Smith that mostly concerns governance of the Restored church of Christ); or I could quote a paragraph or two from Joseph Smith himself, but I'm not sure how convincing that would be for...

    In short the answer is "yes" though evidence is somewhat scarce in the official canon. There is an area in Missouri that the prophet Joseph Smith named Adam-ondi-ahman (the place where Adam dwelt), and members of the church like to visit some of those sites even today.

    Guess I'm just left to assume that what I said was both convincing and impressive!:)
