First of all, thanks Clearly for taking the time to type a lot of what I would normally type up, but life has not left me with the time to do such. No, RND, we are NOT attempting to "disprove" the Bible by any means. In my opinion, we are merely pointing out something else, entirely: bigotry...

Child abuse? Where? Scantily clad indigenous people? If these are reasons you are giving for a "Christian" to not see this movie, then "Christians" better not be going to any of the indigenous tribes in Africa where the people walk around with practically no clothing on and children are dying...

Allow me to educate you: Manuscript: the original text of an author's work, handwritten or now usually typed, that is submitted to a publisher. Transcript: a written, typewritten, or printed copy; something transcribed or made by transcribing. An exact copy or reproduction, esp. one having...

My analogy is perfect. Have you read the Book of Mormon? The people who wrote it HAD all the writings of the Prophets up to Jeremiah. Therefore, they quoted Isaiah, Moses, and others as theological authority. They even state that had they not brought those writings with them, their entire...

Re: Be Aware: SDA Cult is on the Forum Okay...I'm finding it difficult to see the purpose of this thread. Do you feel threatened by what the SDA and LDS teach that you feel the need to "warn" others of their presence on the forums? Do you fear that someone might be "misled" by their...

Obviously not, just simply making the statement that God would speak and teach the same things to both continents. Whether God did is something only God would know. :) I happen to know that He did teach those on the American continent. Interesting...I've been reading/studying from both the...

Perhaps the words translated as "jealous" are different in the original language and have different meanings. What I mean is God being jealous may not mean the same thing as what we usually understand it means when we say someone is jealous. Other languages have different words that are...

I wouldn't call it plagiarism. I see it much the way I see verses from Old Testament verses quoted in the New Testament. The people in the Americas (where the Book of Mormon was originally written) did have copes of the Old Testament writings up through around Lamentations (as explained in the...

Free, my quote was in reference to toddm's statement of "That's true! He didn't even really need to have that good of an imagination because most of it is plegarized from KJV and Free Masonry." I apologize for including your statement in my quote. To say most of it is plagiarized from the KJV...

I must point out that with this statement proves you have never actually read the Book of Mormon. And without reading it, you really cannot have an opinion on it. People who claim to have an opinion about the Book of Mormon without reading it are merely stating someone else's opinion they have...

As stated, the "big" boys won't play against the likes of TCU, BSU, and U of U. They're afraid to play them. As for the silly "Alabama didn't really play in the Sugar Bowl" talk, that's just ridiculous. Alabama got outplayed and completely embarrassed, those types of comments are just...

When I heard this news I immediately thought of this thread. It really bites for TCU and BSU to be shut out like they have been. On top of it all, they faced each other LAST year in the Poinsettia Bowl. Once again, the BCS fails big time. With this set up, it's a lose-lose situation for the...

I've never actually watched BSU play, but I pay attention to what happens with them. I'm a University of Utah fan, the original and first repeated BCS buster. But it looks like BSU is going to join the repeated BCS buster club this year, so congratulations to them! In addition...

Goodness, a lot of Christians need to just lighten up. If you want to be really picky, one of Edward's biggest concerns/worries is that he sees himself as a monster. Therefore, he could never go to Heaven and is on a one track course straight to Hell. This does not "desensitize" people...

I'm not sure if I don't understand your thinking, but this seems quite obvious. Giving our bodies as a living sacrifice simply means to give our lives (our bodies provide the actions) to God. Not a literal sacrifice (Old Testament style).

It sure wouldn't be quite the same. This is getting more and more difficult to explain. Not only because of the other topics on which I view things differently (i.e. baptisms and sealings for the dead, the nature of God), but others as well. This includes heaven (what is it) and salvation...

Oh, I don't doubt that simply being in the presence of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is enough after this life. More than enough, and more than we could ever hope to deserve. However, with that said, my beliefs are largely based upon a different understanding of the very nature of God...

Correct, only to the Sadducees within the context of them at that point and time (not within the Gospel and no acknowledgment of the true authority stemming from Jesus Christ). My belief and view of the afterlife is SIGNIFICANTLY different than yours since I am LDS. I am not saying they will...

While I'm sure everyone agrees that God can do anything, except those things against the nature of God, it's amazing how often we find ourselves limiting what God can and cannot do.

The reason to differentiate between the Sadducees and the believers is this: Authority. Can just any person perform a civil marriage? No, that person has to have the authority to perform the marriage so that it will be recognized by a state. Can just anyone baptize people? Again, no. Only...
