Wow, I guess we can chalk Augustine up to being an anti-Christian

Joseph Smith used the reference "I" 56 times in his address at Nauvoo in History of the Church, Vol. 6, pp. 408-409. I guess he was never a Christian, either.

Actually, I do. Forgive me if I follow Pelagius.

I can forgive him, given his repeated references to Jesus Christ in his sermons.

But John McLay judges success by the number of people who admire him.

Joseph seems to have done the same.

I did listen to it. You are misrepresenting her.

I've not once ever said that.


OK. Here is what you wrote:

Jury service needs people who are committed Christians, or Jews or religious people who look to a higher God for ethical restraint.


Nice, Bob. So, what do you think about jury members who don't fit into your classifications above?

The good thing about assholes is that, like excuses, everybody's got one.

That doesn't make any sense Bot, you need a strong concept of the self, and need to have a self centered (not a bad thing) view of responsbility to jive with Pelagian views of Grace. This whole idea of saying the word "Christ" more than the words "I"and "me" doesn't fit with Mormon nor Pelagian views of regeneration.

Yes, Joseph refers to Jesus here too.

“I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam... Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.” (History of The Church, 6:408–409.)

Oh wait.

I suspect John McLay gave thousands of lessons and sermons wherein he referred to Jesus Christ. I don't know how you could teach institute and seminary without doing so.
