Re: Valley of Lemuel in Arabia?

Wow he tore that apart, but very dense and detailed so going to have to watch again. Maybe take notes! Dan emphasizes, once again, that you have to check the footnotes of mopologists. Okay, I've clocked 25 minutes so far and have some serious differences in interpreting the text, namely, the 3 days...

Re: The Sex, the Violence, the Hideous Crimes in the Holy Bible: Lot’s Story

To call the Lot story porn seems quite odd. Porn is designed to be attractive, invite people to imaginatively participate. I think the Lot story was clearly written to be repulsive. I'm going to agree with you on that. I don't see (no pun intended) how the word "porn" properly fits into the definit...

A Holy Book for today's modern schools:

The Old Testament tells of sex, drugs, rock and roll, violence, incest, murder, and spilling seed.

Gather around kiddies and hear the stories!

:lol:

They can take the Old Testament and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Re: Who was Joseph Smith's "guardian Angel"?

So, who was the "guardian angel" or the "guide" who saved Joseph from the pit? The concept of Joseph Smith believing in a guardian angel did not start with Moroni or Mormonism. It was a Smith family doctrine that goes back to the very beginning of Joseph's own life. Mother Lucy was apt to teach her...

Re: We went away rejoicing

Who was the angel that rejoiced with Joseph over the destruction of his enemies? Smith believed in his guardian angel and retribution and punishment would be meted out against those who oppose him. Angelic visitations, whether in dreams or in reality, is formally taught in Mormonism: "I have given ...

We went away rejoicing

After further review, I find that Joseph's dreamy "rejoicing" over the horrible death of his assailants was unchristian and utterly sick, same goes for his creepy guardian angel who rejoiced with him; recall that Smith said, " we went away rejoicing." So, Smith was able to untie his bonds and the a...

Kidnap or murder?

But note the account does not explicitly state the assailants meant to murder the prophet or leave him for dead. We are given to understand that they secured him in a "safe place" for safekeeping and we are left to wonder what they ultimately planned to do with the prophet, although it's reasonable...

Rejoicing?

We are given a very interesting look into the subconscious mind of Joseph Smith who shared private and perilous moments of how he reacts to being threatened and ultimately how he reacts when his enemies are brutally killed by horrible beasts. But note the account does not explicitly state the assail...
