Christians Only: The Book of Mormon

[sojourner]

Okay, I really don’t desire to keep arguing with you if that is your perspective. You are certainly free to have your own view and thoughts on the matter. There are those who have been involved in Freemasonry which see things differently and I think they have the freedom to their views on the subject their experiences, too.

I can say unequivocally that both accounts are highly biased and display a highly personal perspective, and not an objective assessment.

Right. And now you are probably going to deny the bimonthly baby barbecues

And your grocer. We control what your Rice Crispies tell you in the morning.

 

[sojourner]

I know, you have an inability to properly vet your sources. That is why some people believe that nonsense

We have the ability to properly vet our cats. Does that count?

Hah!! I have you covered there. I avoid noisy cereal, it keeps me from hearing the voices in my head.

 

[sojourner]

Why don’t we start looking at the testimonies of ex-Mormons....

I’ve read Decker’s The God Makers, but it feels reactionary and biased.

We know. We also control milk and coffee. And we’re in your eggs...

I don't have any eggs, I am male. And my housemate is postmenapausal.

Every woman who takes a yoga class, every child who takes piano lessons, every man who watches ESPN... molded according to The Ultimate Design. MWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

Why do you think you’re male?








Think about it.

Think about it.

I just double checked. Still male. And no, I will not send any richard pix.

The Holy Ghost can only do what we allow, accept, comprehend or endure.

After all the arguments, for most religious people (not just LDS), the final reason is "I had a spiritual witness that my faith is true".
Just curious, what do you make of other religious groups who also "feel the spirit"

God Makers is dumb.

 

[John1.12]

Archaeology and anthropology are the strongest evidence against, so long as the historical veracity of its stories is the basis for its validity.

There is no connection to the bible.

Test them. Thats what a lot of people don't do . They get the warm and fuzziness and think that must be God . The bible warns against this .
1 John 4:1

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

Testing is very good. I’d recommend it for everyone. That being said, I know folks whom have tested and reached different conclusions from each other, including myself. But still, listening to God and testing according to the Spirit is the#1 approach I would recommend.

 

[John1.12]

The problem is that one can always attach another tale to a book of myths. That is all that was done.

That would be you assuming that the bible is a myth .

There's really no competition. Trust Joseph Smith or Jesus ..Its a no brainer for me .
