The Mopologists Attack Daniel McClellan

[Philo Sofee]

Now the DezNat types are even using violent imagery about Dan - https://Twitter.com/EphraimOnline/statu ... 8000300425

One response was apparently that it's ok to post threatening pics because it's based on biblical verse. Wow these people give religion a bad name.

Dayum! Next they'll be nailing people who think different than they do, by the ear to doorposts, as that has biblical precedence. Of course, so does wholesale slaughter with no regard to life of any kind were one to imagine since Joshua did it, we can too! So NYAH!

That fact is is that McClellan is repeating what both the Bible and The Book of Mormon state, that faith is belief in things unseen. People receive knowledge from the Holy Ghost.

What things unseen are you referring to?

There are some VERY, VERY crappy people amongst the DezNat crowd.

Philo, perhaps you are thinking about how it feels to be inside the church with that nail the ear reference?

“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed. You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today. But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’ because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you, then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave forever.” (Deut 15:12-17)

If posting images with Biblical precedent is groovy, it’s going to be interesting when they discover the Song of Solomon.

Yep, that's the one, thanks Huck!

I think it is pretty clear that his Bible-Scholar-as-Social-Media-Populist-and-Influencer endeavor, and his interview with Dehlin, are designed - at least in part - to set him up as "a voice of influence and authority that is alternative and superior to that of the Brethren."

Sorry, but that’s ridiculous.

First, you are engaging in mind-reading, and worse, you are accusing him of something that any Latter-day Saint would recognize as pride-driven apostasy, setting himself up as “superior” to church leaders. You of course follow this rather bad-faith character assault with a hope that you’re wrong (the implication being that you’re not).

Why do you do things like this? Is it possible for you to disagree with someone without impugning their character? As I’ve said before, you greatly weaken your arguments and impact by repeatedly making things personal. Not helpful.

Ah, I miss Runtu!!!!
