For BrianH--Response to Challenge No. 7--Passwords to Heaven

[_Fence Sitter]

first day back in a long time. I am guessing Brian H is not a crowd pleaser.

Actually I think he is a lot more entertaining then he knows.

[_consiglieri]

...seeing them LIE, yeah. Its easy.

That's a pretty serious accusation, pilgrim.

I hereby request you show any lies told you on this board.

(If you can't demonstrate the truth of this assertion, I will consider your other assertions of equal merit.)

All the Best!

I am interested in a substantive debate with those who will honestly try to defend the claims of Mormonism.

Apparently there are no (or at least VERY few) such people here.

My problem is simple: you want "substantive" debate but you want to severely restrict the playing field. In your challenge about lost doctrines, for example, you insisted that Mormons had to show where the lost doctrines were in the Bible, where they said the doctrines would not be. The premise was fatally flawed from the beginning, and when I pointed that out, that's when you started calling me names. It doesn't hurt my feelings (I've been called much worse), but it does indicate that some people aren't interested in real discussion.

consig,

hope life has been treating you well. I think you display a fairly good argument but I am not sure many LDS hardliners would support this interpretation, not that it really matters.

Thanks, lostindc! It is good to see you back.

At least part of this is what Truman Madsen taught.

He wrote a long paper regarding the name of God in which he intimated strongly that the name of God the Father is what is revealed through the veil at the end of the endowment ceremony.

Of course he didn't come right out and say it.

I wasn't sure I was right about what he was saying, so I wrote him a letter in which I put the pieces together from his paper and asked (slightly obliquely) if that is what he was getting at.

Truman Madsen was kind enough to write me back under the letterhead of the BYU Jerusalem Center with a one word response.

Yes!


All the Best!

Wow. Thanks for sharing this!

[_consiglieri]

Wow. Thanks for sharing this!

I have never shared it before, but feel Brother Madsen wouldn't mind.

If all you want is a pointless pissing match, boy ...go somewhere else[/b]. I am busy frying the claims of Mormonism and don't have time to engage in your alternating taunting and whimpering.

This is the second time you've broken board rules by asking people to go elsewhere. And second, if Runtu is black, he's gonna be mighty pissed at your racial slur, masta.

H.

LOL ...how incredibly wimpy and anemic. I would have been embarrassed to make such a desperate reach as this. And right out in public too.

Wow

Tell ya what... I am calling your bluff, H-man: I challence you to call a mod and have them rule on your accusation.

I DARE ya...

I actually already did make a ruling earlier in the thread:

viewtopic.php?p=539698#p539698

And, although the ruling was in your favor, don't press your luck. You have been teetering on the edge of this particular board rule:

No blatant or otherwise obvious personal attacks allowed.

I tend to try to minimalize splitting threads in order to keep continuity. You are new to the board, so I am issuing you a friendly warning. Quit pushing the edge of the envelope.

As far as LDST's concern regarding inviting and "de-inviting" people to the board, as a respected board member, I took his thoughts under consideration when I made the call. I trusted that you were not "de-inviting" anyone from the board, but rather, "de-inviting" them from engaging you personally.

I would strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rules of the board, which can be found here:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26

This will avoid any need for suspension. I will hold you fully accountable to the rules in the future.
