Honestly, I am not so sure of what is true. Truth is a hard thing to know. I used to know some things that were true, but I am no longer so sure about those. I have come to know that there are many things that are not true, however.
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.

Lucifer has here offered evidence that he is indeed a corrupter of faith.

Huck,

Indeed!

I know this is not true, for you have just listed four manifestations of the single God.

I believe to be true what CS Lewis said

"Whining and complaining are the most unrewarding of human endeavors"

Never heard of it. Don't want to derail this thread, but I'm really interested in the game because you recommend it so highly. We're sick of Phase10 in my family and have been looking for a new favorite game. Could you start a thread about it in the Off Topic forum?

Done! Have a look at:

I responded without missing a beat, "That Jesus is the Christ and that Joseph Smith is his prophet."

He was a bit taken aback, saying he thought I would say something like I love my wife.

I don't know whether I would answer the same way today, but was interested in finding out from members of the board what (if anything) they would say they know to be true.

This seems odd to me. I would have said Jesus is the Christ, or Jesus is my Savior, or Jesus is God; but I would never have said Jesus is the Christ and Billy Graham is his spokesman. And I would never place God and a man on the same plane.

The concept of the devil preceeds the concept of Jesus.

Maybe knowing what is not true is more important.
