Why do you think it was that when they came to arrest the Savior the apostles were carrying swords?
Gaz
Matthew 26:51,52
51 But one of those with Jesus grabbed his sword, drew it out, and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its place! For all who take hold of the sword will die by the sword.
You wanna try that one again, Gaz?
Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up.

The Catholic church has really screwed up people views regarding God. Lets not forget that it was Christ who was the God of the Old Testament. One of his names was God of Battles.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. - Plato

Appealing to the Old Testament now! Woah...
The god you speak of said this, right?: "And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them." (Lev 20:12)
You plan to kill some Homosexuals Gaz?

DCP is also on record as saying that if the Book of Mormon isn't true, then it's a fraud and he wouldn't stay in the Church. This is where people like me disagree so strongly. I presume DCP would become atheist, but I don't know, that's my assumption. It's also the causative factor in his aggressive apologetics, like Bill Hamblin. "God" must be vindicated, and his existence logically explained as ONLY being possible through Mormonism! God has only One Truth, and if it's false - then there is no God.

The noun has one meaning: Meaning #1: type genus of the family Hominidae
Homo is the genus that includes modern humans and their close relatives. The genus is estimated to be between 1.5 and 2.5 million years old. All species except Homo sapiens (modern humans) are extinct. Homo neanderthalensis, traditionally considered ... etc. (if You are one of "there are no more than ~6000 years", skip that millions above)
What do You think, why do I whine for the definition of human?
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco - To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei
I'm not saying anything here about either side of what happened, but how does signs posted on the outside gates (that were removable without damaging the gate) fit under the category of "vandalism"?
I wonder how many other Californians here did something about their convictions. Maybe Sethbag's "intellectual" approach to taking a stand without telling anybody is enough for most here.
Well Bob did you follow your personal beliefs and take a stand or did your was your thinking done by the the LDS leaders? If I recall you personally were opposed to Prop 8 till the Church came out for it.
Why don't you leave Sethbag alone. He has already told you he confronted his bish on the issue of a church youth group going door to door. He also has said he has discussed his beliefs with his bish. Stop being a bully. It does not do the Church nor your office and good.
