Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

Synthesize your take aways into the strongest argument you can compose and give me a reason to read the book. I listed five categories which Metaxas covers in his book. The first three are, to me, the most powerful because they deal directly with science. And I’m a science kind of guy. Let’s make t...

Re: Temple Cafeterias to close permanently

On another thread I brought up ‘moral high ground’ as being something that is VERY difficult to measure on a public discussion board. https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=154304&start=30 it is. And yet, you try so very, very hard! .....Get the book. Read it. If you’re serious about look...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

MG 2.0. I don't care what charities you do or don't contribute to. Really, I don't. I do find your convoluted narrative entertaining. Thank you for posting the totally not-made-up nor edited receipt from WaterAid to cap it all off. Convoluted is one word for it. :roll: Wow. And still, no response w...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

It’s a strange position they’re in. They’ve never been more wealthy than they are now, but they’re also set to possibly lose a larger share of subsequent generations of members than perhaps ever before as well. In our area, despite the promise of a new-and-improved post-scouting youth program, the ...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

He is definitely a Christian conservative who at one time had flirted with leftest ideology and saw it for what it was. He’s a bit more complex than you’re making him out to be. The fact that he is a Christian conservative, however, will most likely discourage you from reading the book I’ve linked ...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

Now that’s funny. MG pitches a 40yr old charity, one of the best in the world, and incorrectly claims it was founded in Utah? Doesn’t that just sum it up. The root of all good things is Mormonism because Mormonism is the root of all good things. LOL!! MG should read the report linked in the opening...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

This is a known and documented event. Do your own homework. I couldn’t find any other source than Dehlin’s MS’s site. I’m asking for the primary source with context. Reason? Lots of stuff around here is taken out of context or cherry picked. This may be one more example. Regards, MG :roll: from mor...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

I didn’t tell the Zimbabwe president “we are not a wealthy people” when he asked for help with water. This seems to be a problem for you. You are referring to: When Zimbabwe Vice President Mohandi requested support for clean-water wells, Mormon apostle Neil Anderson said “We are not a wealthy peopl...
