Sure you can. Use a different base system.

We don't know what's true, but that doesn't change the fact that it is true. I personally try to make my beliefs about what is true line up as well as possible with what is actually true. I'm sure I'm missing the mark a lot, but that is the goal. And, your opinion of what I should believe to be true really hold no weight with me whatsoever - sorry if that offends you in any way, but it is the case.
BTW - do you know why mathematicians always confuse Halloween with Christmas?
So you go merrily along, excluding people, telling them they're wrong and you're right, tra-la-la, as if it were true. And it makes you feel ever so much better about yourself, because you can say, "I'm proclaiming Truth, as I believe it" (No matter how much that poclamation may harm others' sense of well-being).Try that one on your taxes this year - the IRS will get a kick out of it
That's not really changing the number anyway - it's just changing the way the number is described. 4 is 4, whether it is written as 100 (binary), 11 (base 3) or 4 (base 10).

I would love to be able to say "everyone has priesthood authority". That would be wonderful. That does not line up with what I perceive to be true though - so I can't say it. I am beholden to what God has revealed to me on the subject. I can't go outside of that and still claim to by trying to base my truth on actual truth - no matter how much you don't like it. If I were to do so I'd be basing my truth on the whims of Sojourner. Either way I may be correct or I may be wrong - but this way seems more honest to me.
There you are again claiming that I don't believe that "God loves everyone". That gets a bit tiresome, you know. And I never said I didn't honor other's views - in fact, it seems to me that I honor other's views a bit more than you do, because I honor yours but you obviously don't honor mine. I'm concerned by the fact that you don't seem to recognize that you are doing at least as little loving of your neighbor as anyone else I've seen.
LOL. Actually, I don't think there is. It seems like the more bad press there is about us, the more interested people become in learning about us. Every time some church shows "The Godmakers," a few more people become LDS.
Wow, who's the self-righteous one here?
You know, Sojourner, for someone who is so big on how important it is for us to love others, you might try showing a little of that love for your LDS brothers and sisters. We're not anywhere near as critical of your faith as you are of ours.
Well, good luck. I think you're going to need it. And let us know, please, if you find what you're looking for. While you're at it, maybe you could explain why Jesus Christ himself called prophets if He had no intention of using them and why He prophesied that they would be rejected? I think I'm not going to hold my breath, if you don't mind, but I will watch for your answer.
That's what you were trying to remember? I thought it was something scriptural! I could post a list of a couple of hundred links to anti-Mormon websites (except that it's against forum rules to do so). If you want to try to prove that the Jesus Christ I worship is different than the one in the Bible, you're going to have to do a lot better than that! You sound as if you'd be fun to debate one-on-one on the subject, though. Interested?
