Thanks for the conversations.

After a recent conversation or two on this board I’ve been considering whether or not to continue participating on this board. I think I ought to manage my time more wisely and find some other things to do at this point in my life. I do believe that it’s been mostly a rewarding experience for me to ...

Re: If plates then God

I would imagine that at the end of the day you would also chuckle under your breath at those that believe Jesus died but then lives again in the heavens. You miss the point for at least the second time this morning. I don't chuckle under my breath at resurrection myths or plates myths. I chuckle ou...

Re: If plates then God

I wasn’t aware that he was a believer in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You are aware, are you not, that a person can be a theist and NOT believe in Jesus? Yes, but germane to Mormonism and the restoration narrative it all comes down to Jesus and His resurrection. If one does not believe in the ...

Re: If plates then God

Earlier I said, “How wide the divide”. I think that when a theist is talking with a non theist this is going to be the outcome. Laughter on the part of the non theist. Physic's Guy is a theist. As I pointed out many times in this thread and you've forgotten, 99.9% of theists out there are laughing ...

Re: If plates then God

The structure they build doesn't hold up to inspection at all, but to a glance from afar, it looks nice. It's a house made of paint, a Potemkin apology. Would you look at Jesus’s resurrection in the same way? If so, I would imagine this may ‘paint’ your views in such a way that belief in angels and...

Re: If plates then God

What I reckon they're really doing is not apologetics, but apologetics theatre. Whether they realise it or not, they're not actually even attempting to influence anyone with genuine doubts—not neutral never-Mormon seekers, not anti-Mormon critics, not wavering Mormons. What they're doing is going t...

Re: If plates then God

First of all, listing a lot of pre-literate epics and boasting that the Book of Mormon is longer than them is like listing a lot of bicycles and boasting that a motorcycle is faster. Yeah, they're all two-wheelers, but only it has a motor. Only the Book of Mormon was written down and printed in mas...

Re: If plates then God

I hope she doesn’t answer you after you called her the “board nanny.” Shame on you, MG. You are better than that. :roll: It's one of his favorite Ad hom go-to's every time he feels bested. Never mind that every question has been answered repeatedly.... :lol: The ones I’ve asked you? Regards, MG

Re: If plates then God

It’s important to remember this quote from an earlier post: Multiple witnesses declared that Joseph Smith spoke the words of the Book of Mormon rather than personally writing them.38 This observation separates him from more than 99% of all authors who ever published a book. Historically, the composi...
