Re: Prophets can't explain the Book of Mormon, they ask the experts to, scholars!
They are experts at attempts to make the prophets sound accurate, which is virtually impossible. They have to change the meanings of words to do so, and it obviously flops. Their recontexting a miscontexted quote in scriptures by the prophets and books don't help either. What they are not experts i...

Re: Prophets can't explain the Book of Mormon, they ask the experts to, scholars!
So the priesthood ban was symbolic? I have never heard the shaved head idea. If the Lamanites were black why would he mention the shaved head? Really? If white is a symbolic word for divine then black must be to? False dichotomy?eta. The church is revelatory not explanatory. I thought prophets were ...

Re: Gemli explains...
, I think theists understand themselves to be believing for reasons that are important to them though they are not incontrovertible. I gather you are stating that believing probably takes place first before people think about whether they should believe. I think that takes place sometimes perhaps p...

Re: Gemli explains...
I believe things that are not implied by any incontrovertible evidence, that's true, but I don't think I believe anything that is inconsistent with any incontrovertible evidence. This is where theists plant their flag. I believe because I believe but there are zero methodologies that can dispute me...

Civility alert. Dan has his finger on the trap door button and this might be the one that sends Gemli to the hounds. A tissue sample.

Re: Gemli explains...
Sincerity of a question asked to god is simply a series of turn-key moments designed to arrive at one answer. Sincerity is pivotal through every phase of the testimony building process. Simply using it as proof that the end result is true isn't required because it is self evident to the believer. Th...

Re: Mormon divorce rates

Brigham Young: “Relief Society -going to meet again - I say I will curse every man that lets his wife or daughters meet again -until I tell them -What are relief societies for? To relieve us of our best men -They relived us of Joseph ...

Re: Gemli explains...
It is explicitly written in Moroni's promise. so I was mistaken. I thought I was to pray to get closer to realizing the truth.
