Re: If plates then God

Yeah. So there you have it. Yay. Substantiative paragraph. He’s got his opinion, like I said. Thanks for reposting this. Definitely impacts my views on what is presented by Hardy, Hales, and others. 🤭🧐🙂 Regards, MG And again, you truncated a post without indicating that you did so. And I just did i...

Re: If plates then God

...From what I’ve read on this topic over the years my opinion is simply that you’re giving Joseph Smith too much credit for doing something that would have been beyond his reach. You’ve asked me to go through Grant Hardy’s book and spoon feed selections and ‘proofs’ that had meaning to me and yet ...

Re: If plates then God

Please let me respond closer to the way I should have, as I try push the evil Morley partially to the rear. What I’m getting at is that the ‘larger picture’ is not unimportant. It’s back to the Monet paintings analogy I’ve used before. Looking at the individual blotches of paint may distract from t...

Re: Peterson advocates for bombing Gaza, even if it means civilian casualties

I think it may be a bit more nuanced than you’re making it out to be. You’re making out a lot of good Christian people in our world that have had to make hard choices into something other than what they are. Christian. Playing holier than thou, are we? Regards, MG It’s very simple, anyone that make...

Re: If plates then God

... the Book of Mormon was a one shot deal. One trick pony. A flash in the pan. We have Joseph the farmboy producing a work that has gone on to becoming a recognized book of scripture that has impacted and changed the lives of millions of people and brought them to Christ. It’s literally one of a k...

Re: RFM on the LDS Church protecting child abusers

… a confession isn’t property that is capable of being owned. That is my question. Is this a doctrinal position within the field of law? It seems that in a ministerial/parishioner/confession relationship the law might dictate that the confession is a possession and/or owned by the parishioner. It b...

Re: Church Launches Global Initiative

If this program represents a shift toward using the church’s vast wealth for humanitarian purposes, I have nothing but praise. That’s nice of you to say that. For the smug superiority of your last sentence, I have none. No smug superiority. Simple judgement without any evidence on your part. Fits s...
