    Why do Christians worship Mary?

    Wait a minute. You actually believe she was a virgin for her entire life? What scripture supports this?

    Why do Christians worship Mary?

    Is the action of asking them to pray for you with head bowed and eyes closed and hands clasped? Christ said he is the only way to the Father. When you pray rather to another person than to God in the name of Christ you put that person before Christ, in my opinion. Idolatry, by the way, is not...

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    Here you go again slinging accusations while the evidence you demand sits collecting dust. Here's a simple request: Point out one "difference" between the Book of Mormon and the Bible regarding the nature of God. It must be from the text of the Book of Mormon, not your silly interpretation...

    Speaking in Tongues

    Speaking in tongues is twofold. One purpose is to preach the gospel in another language so others may be converted. I became fluent in Spanish in only five months on my mission to Uruguay. I consider that to be the gift of tongues. There were times when I testified using language and words...

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    Excuse me? Have you looked at a single piece of evidence I've shown you? You certainly haven't responded to any of them. Why don't you do some research before you start slinging this filth around.

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    The archeological evidence supports it as an historical document to a certain degree. Not a word of it as inspired text is supported by any archeological evidence whatsoever, but once you get past Hezekiah it gets pretty fuzzy, and most of it beyond that point is actually improbable to...

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    Would you be so kind as to demonstrate some sort of manifestation of this willingness. Up till now you've just dodged every single opportunity that's come your way to get anywhere near an open mind.

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    That wasn't the accusation you made, sir. If you're going to change the subject every time you find yourself ill-prepared to stand up for your assertions then maybe this isn't the right place for you. I will proceed to validate much of what the Book of Mormon says: 1) Read every single...

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    Some of them tried to get him arrested. Throughout it all, however, not a one of them denied their witness of the gold plates and the angel.

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    The sworn testimonies of eleven men is completely overlooked so archeological guesswork can corroborate the story for you? Archeological evidence of what kind? You can't find them? Well, that's because they were taken away. I can't find Solomon's Temple but I'm not whining about proving...

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    Stand up in what way? Doctrinally? The Book of Mormon eclipses by miles the Bible in terms of comprehensive doctrine taught. The purpose of evil, the manner in which the atonement saves us, the true nature of God. All these things are nowhere in the Bible and all over the Book of Mormon...

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    The signed testimonies of eleven men of excellent repute, plus the tetstimony of Joseph Smith, plus the existence of the Book of Mormon itself is all evidence, and it is evidence that would hold up in any court, mind you.

    Petition to God

    God does not make bad things happen. God allows things to help us grow that we view as bad. Observe the Taoist fable. A man is tending to his animals when a new horse he recently purchased runs away. His neighbor comes by. "What bad luck you have," he says. "Is it bad?" remarks the man...

    Acknowledging Jesus Christ

    Do you really think God would punish us from sins we had no idea we were committing?

    The Origin of the Trinity

    [LEFT] The word Trinity may appear in Theophilus' writings, but the doctrine established at Nicea is not the same Trinity. I never said the Nicene council was the source of the pagan attributes of the trinity. It was neo-Platonized long before that.

    Does anyone know what happened to the golden plates?

    The Angel took them. Joseph could not show them to anyone other than the eleven men he was commanded to show them to, so scholarly research was out of the question - almost. He did copy down several of the characters from the plates that were supposed to have been written in "Reformed...

    The Origin of the Trinity

    I believe Jesus had nothing to do with this mysterious metaphysical nightmare. I believe they misinterpreted the term "one" and searched for years for a way to validate it to skeptics in the philosophic community. They were trying to gain real estate in the Greek community this whole time...

    LDS Evidences

    I can't imagine anyone actually accusing the Book of Mormon of claiming ownership of those verses. Nephi says he is going to quote Isaiah in the text.

    Do you think the bible god is responsible with all the disasters on earth?

    If there is greater joy on the other side of the veil then your point is utterly meaningless. I believe there is.
