    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Wow, you are doing a PhD? That's amazing! My first degree was biology related but I took out all the plants bit as its not my forte! I also kill plants! I even kill supposedly unkillable plants!

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Hi Clear! I'm pleased you stopped by :) I haven't actually read the Book of Abraham myself, my question stems from critical websites one of which reads... My original question was asking how LDS views this? Do you accept that they are funery texts or that the papyri found must have been...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thank-you for your response :) I think Orontes was talking about orthopraxy vs orthodoxy at the start of the thread. If I remember rightly it was about the right actions creating the right belief as opposed to visa versa? In relation to polygamy, any ideas why Joseph Smith married women who...

    Thank-you both as always for your replies! I will probably have some follow up questions but not tonight now as its 20:20 here and I have been awake since 3:30am this morning! The branch president invited us over for Sunday lunch today (I haven't been to church yet) and it was a lovely...

    So as Jane knows, I post on a catholic forums as well. One of the responses I had were the following and I would be interested to hear your thoughts, especially as it does contain questions I have considered? eg polygamy still being accepted as an eternal principle

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thankyou Katz :) The missionaries have been around several times this week (they are helping me paint my house!). They had asked me how I wanted the lessons and I said to go back to basics and pretend I had never heard of the church. I dont ask them many questions (especially the tough ones)...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Sorry no Im not casual! Katz has "known" me since I first joined the church and so is probably used to me by now. I can understand that some things we wont fully know until we have died but if there is a way to understand things now, I like to have the information :)

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Is this similar to the multiverse/universe idea you were talking about a few thread pages back? Ive actually never heard the question asked, I only ask because Jane mentioned LDS agreed with an uncreated Jesus but in the back of my mind fairmormon had mentioned him being created and then I...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Do LDS believe Jesus was created? Jane, on the other site you said that Jesus was uncreated but on mormon.org it reads "Like us, Jesus was created in the image of God, the Father, and They both have perfected bodies of flesh and bone."

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thanks ladies as always!! I cant remember if I have already asked this (I really must read through the thread again) but if the BoM contains the fulnlness of the gospel, why doesnt it contain things like baptism for the dead and eternal progression etc

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    I have a few questions! 1) One critical site asks "If Moroni devoutly practiced the Mormon Gospel, why is he an angel now rather than a God?" Fairmormon provides a response here...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Ah thats the difference! its a branch, he is a branch president. The sisters initially said branch president which I didnt know what it was (last time I was in a ward) and when I asked, they said it was the Bishop so assumed it was used interchangeably! Whats the difference between a branch...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thought I would pop by and say that I have been talking to the sister missionaries these past couple of weeks. They are currently helping me paint my house. They brought their Bishop over to see me the other night as he wanted to meet me. He asked me how I was feeling at the moment and how I...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Random question which has nothing to do with LDS beliefs... As I was 21 when I originally converted, I went straight into YSA so dont know anything about classes for those under 18 or now myself as a married 30 year old with children? Im guessing for me it will be sacrament and relief society...
