Apparently you are only attacking 'mainstream' Christians on this one.

You keep forgetting that some LDS people believe in the wife of God.;)

Yes, its the traditional point of view of the bible, its hard to keep up on new religions with a different prespective... Its amazing how many more religions are based on the same book. On top of that what you read is not what is always practiced. Even worshippers themselves have a different perspective and passages as I have seen from experience. But you have to admit, the bible is very chauvanistic.... Importance to father's and sons primarily.

Is your founder still alive. I would want to challenge him on his communication with his god?

Becky....

Did I miss your response on if you made an idol and called it the self proclaimed god of the bible as a token of your admiration for it, does this break the false god commandment? Whats the LDS perspective on this?

The Catholic adoration of Mary does seem a bit over-the-top. How many times have we heard somewhere where somebody has had a vision of the "holy" mother of the supposed god.

The compilation of the canon did not come from a group of monks at all.

And as for King James (and his version has no weight whatsoever with me), he didn't translate anything - not one word.

So in other words the group of people that developed the compiled bible are still practicing the pleasures of the flesh as yopu explained.....

King James supervised the translation so in other words you are saying he never looked at the translation and gave his influence to possibly change a single word. Were you there that you know all of this things? As I said your arrogance is your downfall. I believe you like attacking people if they believe differently than you... The main point was some Catholics practice praying to statues, taught or not taught by their church. They see the statue as a symbol of their saints and their god and when a Catholic says they did feel that you attacked the one who has taught them. On top of that you attack my opinion, are you a typical believer or just a person who is into himself and no other opinion is welcomed?

This is a point and why so many figures of saints and mary all over the church and their houses, if creating an idol is wrong? Why create images of the cross with a man who probably did not even have any features of the claimed son of god? As religions have shown..... It is written but others practice differently, because they are humans and they had decided to be that way.

Do you research --- Joseph Smith was murdered by a mob that included over 200 men in 1844.

I wouldn't make an idol - idols and statues are two different things.

Adoration and worship are two different things

No...are you trying to manipulate my words?


Not at all.....the Catholics do not pray to the statue - they pray to God. The statues are their for rememberance, reminder and adoration.

It's very differnent. How about, instead of assuming what you think you know, you actually research the facts and doctrine.

Apparently you aren't very well read.

Our 'community' is 12 million strong -our current Prophet and President is President Gordon B. Hinckley.

Is there anything else you would like to know?

Lets see..... the churches are full of statues.. you can pray to their self proclaimed god by just looking up since people always claimed god is in heaven and people associate heaven as up..
