Truthfully I’m not satisfied with your response to my questions. They are somewhat fuzzy and evasive.

Why are you not putting up a picture with a cutesy little meme?Everybody Wang Chung wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 12:39 amM.G. what are some examples of these "ideas are added to" just in the first nine pages?
Just list a few.
Actually, I didn’t see those questions, so I’ve given no answer at all to it yet. : D
Are you saying that all covenants - from a biblical historical standpoint - required a prophet to deliver to ‘x’ number of people, or are there instances otherwise that are arguably part of the biblical record?MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:15 amI think you are putting yourself in a position where there is absolutely no logical answer to my question so you are pressed into the position of saying God can do anything and everything.canpakes wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 12:19 am
Given that The Almighty seems to have (or is claimed to have been) responsible for creating at least 20 times more galaxies in the known universe than there are people on this Earth, I don’t figure that the task you question would be beyond God’s abilities.
I’m not sure why accepting prophets as God’s messengers seems to be so gosh darn hard for a majority of people it seems. Yes, you are then having to determine/differentiate between a true prophet and a false prophet…but nonetheless.
Prophets have ALWAYS (and Jesus for that matter) have/has never been accepted by humanity at large. I suppose there may be a multitude of reasons for that.

As I mentioned to IHAQ, what was interesting to me is that the author of the book I’m recommending quoted a number of authorities that made it pretty clear that the new and everlasting covenant actually includes all of the saving ordinances and covenants of the gospel, beginning with baptism for the remission of sins and entry into the Lord’s church

As you know, you haven’t addressed what I actually said. Are you really saying that those are three things that learnt from Mulestain’s book that you hadn’t previously thought about? Not in Primary, Sunday School, Seminary etc?MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 11:45 pmSure.IHAQ wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 11:21 pmPlease give the board 3 examples of things you have learnt about covenants from Mulestain's book that you haven't really thought about before.
Can you also quote something from the book in support of those 3 examples that isn't included within the free sample content that Amazon provides?
1. The New and Everlasting Covenant is the sum total of all gospel covenants and obligations.
2. The greatest blessings we receive from God all focus on strengthening our relationship with Him until our bond has grown so strong that we can be with Him because we have become like Him. This blessing is given within a certain context. Covenant making and covenant keeping.
3. Covenants are inextricably connected with God’s love for us. He wants to bind us to him. He wants us to belong to Him. That can only happen as we covenant to become more like Him through obedience to His law and commandments. It can happen in no other way.
These are ideas that are reinforced or added to just in the first nine pages. I expect to come across many other pearls of wisdom from the author as I continue reading. If you read it, come back and we can share more thoughts/insights.
yeah, sure. I’m guessing you’ll be distracted by all those other things and won’t get further than the free sample content on Amazon.
and who quotes only from the first nine pages. When you get into double digit pages, be sure to share.MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:21 am
I didn’t want to hold off on mentioning the book in case there are those…not you, of course…who might want to pick up the book and read it.
It’s a work in process. I have a whole stack of books I’m muddling my way through.
I appreciate your interest.
By the way, I don’t consider myself to be an apologist. You and I both know I’m not in that class. I’m just a regular guy that has thoughts and opinions...
