Mormons like to point out that Christianity can't be true because it is fractured but there are many sects of Mormonism. Pot meet kettle I guess.drumdude wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 8:05 pmI’ve made it through their discussion of Mosiah 15. The video is incredibly boring and hard to slog through.
They’re just arguing about if God and Jesus are two separate beings or if they’re two roles in the same being.
Boylan isn’t doing any real work. He’s just laying out common arguments that have been used for 2000 years. I’m not really sure what the point of the debate even is.
I guess you could say the new part is the restoration and its view. But the debate brings up a serious problem. Why isn’t this debate settled amongst restorationists? The whole point of the restoration was to restore these lost truths. Yet here are two followers of Joseph Smith who can’t even agree on who and what God is.
I would much rather be hearing from Blake Ostler, or William Lane Craig, or James White, who know much more about the problems with modalism than Boylan. Boylan seems to just be using this as a platform to show the world he has read a bunch of books. He’s not adding anything to the discussion.
More concerning than the content was Boylan's behavior. The discussion was rather boring and mundane and yet Boylan was waving his hands around and manically tugging on his beard.
