Re: The Law of Chastity works

I'm talking strictly about pre marital sexual relations, not masturbation. No, you're talking about the health benefits of Law of Chastity. You don't get to play Texas Sharpshooter fallacy when making such a statement. You might as well brag about the health benefits of the WOW but exclude tea &...

Re: How is an apostle's witness different, special?

Re: Joseph Smith teaches God tells us to LIE

That's why I believe God has to be a God of truth. How can one trust a God who lies? A church which represents God should be the most honest institution on earth.
