Nephi Goodmansen
Orem, UT
LValfre:
the priesthood ban was not based on "race." It was based on lineage. Thus no "racism"

I think Nephi Goodmansen is BC Space.

Also, your appear to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the restored gospel. For example, the priesthood ban was not based on "race." It was based on lineage. Thus no "racism" qua racism was involved.

And yet another favorite tactic: insult the questioner by insinuating she doesn't understand Mormonism. Bloviate, obfuscate, insult and excoriate, rinse and repeat . . .

Oh and thanks for the lineage clarification Nephi. It's nice to know that we were just "lineagists" rather than racists for nearly 150 years. That really makes me feel better.

Yep. It's almost like this guy is just putting up quotes from Wade Englund and Droopy and bcspace.

I'm going to open a chain of restaurants and deny certian people service based on lineage. That's not offensive, right?

As long as you assess their lineage through skin color you'll be within official doctrine...

So if it's true how exactly does the sun get its light from Kolob and where IS Kolob?
Also, if God has time reckoning on Kolob etc, what happened to eternity?

If we are talking about light FROM Kolob it would not be the natural light generated by the fusion reaction on the surface of the sun but rather light in another dimension or spirit world where the light of God shines constantly manifesting his love throughout all his creations. The natural world IS the exception. Duh? When ya die.....that light on the other end of the tunnel..........that light!

So when you find yourself standing in eternity try not to count because that would bring time into eternity and something might go POP!

ETA: Oh yeah, but it is THAT light which gives life to all things still. Even the natural....so without it no natural light cause the sun would shut down. That's me thinking. Alright. Just me. Don't shoot the thinker.

D&C 88
45 The earth rolls upon her wings, and the sun giveth his light by day, and the moon giveth her light by night, and the stars also give their light, as they roll upon their wings in their glory, in the midst of the power of God. That light!

But to be fair to Peterson, when he talked about a tyrant who liked to steal wives from their husbands, he was probably just thinking of Joseph Smith.

Excellent,very excellent
