Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
I think a good example of the evolutionary nature of this particular miracle story is how the vast majority of the first-hand accounts of the miracle are from years after it occurred.

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
You would think the Saints would abandon this obvious artifact of trickery and hokum. It doesn't bother me because I think I understand the nature and role of miracle stories. My guess is that most miracle stories evolve according to need and a continuing revisitation of the event. Over time, diffe...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
And school teachers were having their kiddos sing praises to the man. I remember. Like it was yesterday. One man's cult leader is another man's trash. P.S. The first cult-of-personality leader in these United States was George Washington. And yet your take on this lacks all sense of perspective and...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
I don't get the Mopologist interest. Is this something taught as a miracle in the CES curriculum? What's the doctrinal underpinning?

I think it is pretty obvious that he was not Smith’s successor. This does not mean he was not the leader of his community. It does no...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion
Indeed. I remember when they made a golden statue of Obama, and Democrats were buying Obama bibles, and Obama shoes, and Obama NFTs, and wearing Obama schwag everywhere they went, getting their vehicles custom wrapped with Obama graphics, holding Obama parades, Democrat politicians making their sol...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths
Pre-destination and an eternal torment are two things I definitely have a problem with.
