Re: Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

The only nerve Tobin has struck with his posts is my funny bone. Do you think that when he speaks with God, Tobin speaks in tongues--perhaps the pure Adamic language? It would take a supernatural being to make sense of Tobin's mutterings. I'm leaving Tobin's Land of Oz for the real world where facts...

Re: Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

It is a complete waste of time for Tobin to defend his beliefs in Biblical and Mormon myths, folklore and lies with anything but his unsupported statement that he believes these things because the L.D.S. church tells him they are true and it makes him feel good. That is undoubtedly because he has no...

Re: Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

You should realize that isn't possible. If you don't believe in God and the scriptures, there is no "intelligent" discussion possible with you. We have no common frame of reference on which to discuss things and even reach agreement on. Simply put - Mormonism is a religion that believes t...

Re: Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

Your implication that if God exists and the Bible is true sacred scripture, one has to believe Mormonism is baseless and illogical. My unbelief in Mormonism goes far beyond belief in God or unbelief in the Bible as sacred scripture reporting historical events. It goes to the absolute absurdity of Jo...

Re: Jonah and the Whale

Your comment about running your mouth is on par with the rest of your arguments. You need a new peep stone.

Re: Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

Do you ever justify your beliefs with common sense or reason or do you just try to support one crazy belief with another and it never stops? I suppose God can do anything no matter how crazy and no matter how contrary to the laws of nature, but you have a heavy burden to prove God does so, especiall...

Re: Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

Why is it that Mormons only credit what early Mormons and friends of Joseph said if they like the content. Johnson was both. His statement is also consistent with Joseph's story of what Moroni said during his visits. Do you dispute Joseph's claim in that regard? The North Pole story is also consiste...

Re: Jonah and the Whale

Which is easier; to have a whale swallow a prophet, or to heal a blind man, or to feed thousands with only a few loaves and fishes? It always amazes me how Mormons and Christians attempt to support absurd folklore and myths in the Bible by referring to other folklore and myths in the Bible. In fact...

Moroni & The Lost 10 Tribes

According to Joseph's story, one of the things that the angel Moroni (or was it Nephi?) told him during his nocturnal visits was that in the last days the lost 10 tribes would return from the north country. This was consistent with later claims by Joseph to his followers that the 10 tribes lived nea...

Sneaky clever Joseph

Whatever else Joseph was, he was certainly clever in a sneaky way. Take, for example, his story that Moroni would not let him take the plates during the first visit to the hill because Moroni could tell that Joseph wanted the plates to enrich himself. Why would Joseph admit this? I think that Joseph...
