Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

MG, I can try to adapt to what a person is trying to get at in their views about free will, even though I think the idea of free will in general is nonsense. Your discussion of free will wouldn't help DCP much in his bitter and misguided war against Calvinism, for instance. He wouldn't be able to ta...

Re: The Biblical prophets were Mormons

I haven't discussed what's going on in church in a long time with active members. I'd be very surprised if this is on anybody's radar. Bruce R. is a good baseline for what Mormons believe(d), and I've never, ever heard about this. The parts about the patriarchs and multiple restorations and getting ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Typically taking a position of ‘knowing’ from a position of superior knowledge and intellect. That might be how you think I see myself, but I could probably change that perception by changing my av. I've had this one for years, but I've had many others prior to it. I could change it to a puppy dog ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Over the years I’ve heard narratives from people that have left the church and they have, in one way or the other, been damaged or hurt. You’ve seen/heard those stories. Like your A.I.'s (non) definition of free will, saying that people have been damaged or hurt is basically saying nothing. People ...

Re: Hitler may have a better chance in heaven than ex-Mormon apostates

Lol. Talk about a case of projection! “Self-destructively nurse their prideful grudges”? I never could have come up with a better description of the Mopologists than that. It’s absolutely perfect. This is a great point with startling conclusions that I didn't appreciate until I put my pot of tea to...

Just like he does with the Conneaut witnesses to the Spalding manuscript.

Re: Hitler may have a better chance in heaven than ex-Mormon apostates

It's even worse than that. Sadly, though, I doubt that it will be empty. The so-called “sons of perdition” seem to me to be individuals who, even at the end, rather than admitting that they were wrong and rather than repenting, will shake their fists at heaven and curse God. Such people will be few,...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

LDS Chatbot definition of Free Will: It looks like I owe MG 2.0 and apology. I thought I saw a recent comment from Morley also that supports this, but MG is using a church A.I chatbot to get these answers? I didn't realize that. I accused him of leaning on the arm of flesh for answers. Yes, if he w...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Why go to church? Renew covenants made with God by participating in the Sacrament administration through the Priesthood Authority of Jesus Christ. True. Teach and learn (reinforce) the principles and doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. False. As we've seen with free will, you haven't learned en...
