Sounds like a party in the Goddess Suite!

P.S. Liz, look what a sexist pig I was in my comments about the Book of Mormon. Maybe I need to be taught a lesson.

You are a very naughty boy.

Please report to the Goddess Suite for an attitude adjustment. ;-)

Every denomination that believes in the Book of Mormon thinks that really happened.

And that happened at the end of Highlander, too.

Doctrines, Buffalo. Not just stories.

The major unique piece of doctrine that the Book of Mormon provides is that the "other sheep" Christ references are those who reside on the American continent.

I don't think that there is another branch of Christendom that preaches about Christ appearing in the Americas.

Along with that goes the teaching that the Native Americans are descendants of Lehi, who came from Jerusalem. They are still teaching that, right?

It depends on what your definition of "are" is.

I was just thinking that the apologists are not teaching that anymore, but I think the church still is.

Nor should there be. Scientology is the only religion preaching that the world is populated with alien ghosts.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

"Other sheep:"

Christ came over and.......did the same things he already did in the New Testament, including an almost verbatim repeat of the Sermon on the Mount.

That gives us no new information (doctrine) about Jesus/the nature of God/the meaning of life/"the gospel" that was not available from the Bible and/or mainstream Protestantism.

"Hebrews -------> Native Americans:"

Several explorers, especially during the 17th and 18th centuries, claimed to have collected evidence that some of the American Indian tribes might be descended from the Ten Lost Tribes. Several recent books and articles have focused on these theories.

The belief that some American Indians were a Lost tribe of Israel goes back centuries and includes individuals like the 1782 President of the Continental Congress Elias Boudinot and Mordecai Noah, the most influential Jew in the United States in the early 19th Century.

Also, I have already given an example of another denomination that uses the Book of Mormon as scripture, yet has a vastly different understanding from the LDS Church of what "the gospel" is and what "the plan of salvation" is.

So, again, what doctrines about the nature of God/Christology/etc. that are unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are found within the pages of the Book of Mormon?
