I should note that Dennis Horne has commenced a four-month series on "Refuting and Correcting BYU's False Doctrine on the Origin of Man." I'm not making this up. Will Mr. Horne actually publish 55 posts on this topic? Will the series be cross-posted to Sic et Non? Or to Interpreter?
It's always fascinating when this sort of thing surfaces. It's like the facade of Internet Mormonism has a crack in it, and we're getting to see the things that the Mopologists have worked so hard to conceal. Yes: what will happen with Dennis Horne? Will he be ostracized?Tom wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 10:07 pmI should note that Dennis Horne has commenced a four-month series on "Refuting and Correcting BYU's False Doctrine on the Origin of Man."

One post includes some wisdom from Joseph Fielding Smith:ADAM NOT END PRODUCT OF EVOLUTION. Adam was placed here, not a wild, half-civilized savage, but a perfectly-developed man, with wonderful intelligence, for he helped to create this earth. He was chosen in pre-existence to be the first man upon the earth and the father of the human race, and he will preside over his posterity forever.
Now, the Lord did not choose a being that had just developed from the lower forms of life, to be a prince, an archangel, to preside over the human race forever! Adam, as Michael, was one of the greatest intelligences in the spirit world and he stands next to Jesus Christ. When he came upon the earth, the Lord gave him a perfect form of government.
Page 511 of Doctrines of Salvation, "RESTORATION OF BLOOD SACRIFICES."We are living in the dispensation of the fullness of times into which all things are to be gathered, and all things are to be restored since the beginning. Even this earth is to be restored to the condition which prevailed before Adam's transgression. Now in the nature of things, the blood sacrifice will have to be restored, or all things which were decreed by the Lord would not be restored. It will be necessary, therefore, for the sons of Levi, who offered the blood sacrifices anciently in Israel, to offer such a sacrifice again to round out and complete this ordinance in this dispensation. Sacrifice by the shedding of blood was instituted in the days of Adam and of necessity will have to be restored.
The sacrifice of animals will be done to complete the restoration when the temple spoken of is built; at the beginning of the millennium or in the restoration, blood sacrifices will be performed long enough to complete the fulness of the restoration in this dispensation. Afterwards sacrifice will be of some other character.
If these idiots were to actually get the restoration of ALL things right, they would RE-institute (that's right, you are seeing this correctly, RE-institute - that is get it back up and running) the actual sacred marriage of man and woman in imitation of the Divine marriage of God and His Shekhinah in the HOLY OF HOLIES in the temple as was done in ancient Israel, and depicted by the sexually embracing cherubim. Raphael Patai and LDS scholar Eugene Seaich have demonstrated with evidence from ancient texts that in the temple, the consummation of the "Holy Endowment" (to put Mormon spin on it) was the sexual act between a man and woman - men and their wives, IN the Holy of Holies as the ultimate AT-ONE-MENT of the male and female, the human and divine.sock puppet wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 9:08 pmIn the whacky department, this has been a favorite of mine from Doctrines of Salvation--
