From what i've read in an article the book sounds like it just expands a little on some of ehrmans earlier books.I'll check it out though,I like his books.
Well I know i'm a 'little late to the party' on this thread but since there isn't much activity on this board i guess i'll chime in anyway.I too think watchmen makes a good point.After attending a fundamentalist baptist school in my youth I found myself unable to accept several common christian...
I didn't realize for quite awhile they used the same screen name until I was arguing on a thread and she had made several references to her husband inviting missionaries into their home to 'straighten them out' about what God 'really wants' and then several days later on the same thread when I...
Well we're getting a bit off topic but there was a woman in her late 20's who pm'd me a bunch of questions awhile back.While my situation was a bit different as a 40 something man I think,or hope,i put most of the things she was nervous about to rest.After a couple pm's she said she was going to...
Hello katz,I haven't been on here in awile.I used to read stuff over here for a long time before I ever joined the site or the church.There was a member here a couple of years ago who managed to get me to promise to quit 'online investigating' and actually go visit a ward one sunday.I've been...
My what a fun thread this has turned into:rolleyes:.I haven't haven't visited this site in nearly 2 years and see what fun ive been missing.I have been following Katzs posts on another site though and despite her 3 glasses of wine annually I still consider her a fine example of what lds members...
well disneyman,obama didnt have any mormans running against him in the primaries so its easy to show kindness to 'the enemy of my enemy who is therefore my friend as long as its useful to me' tactic in politics......If you aren't interested in the opinions of others or who they vote for why do...
there are many in the gop who dont like mormans......there are many in the democrat party who dont like those who seriously practice 'any'faith.If you are going to base your vote on which political party has a large number of members who love the lds church...i think you will be staying home in...
thankyou for posting that,disneyman.While i doubt i will ever become a democrat and often disagree with sen.reid on issues there are still many things we can agree on.
I believe that your position is also the position of the church,and mine as well.....Lds will have to do as everyone else should do and vote for whomever they feel would benefit the country most.I will be supporting mccain,i would much prefer that palin was at the TOP of the ticket,but i will...
its difficult to give a simple answer as there are thousands of 'christian' denominations and many have beliefs that vary pretty wildly from each other.most[not all] believe in the trinity,most do not believe in 'continuing revelation',many believe hell will be a 'very' crowded place,many dont...
what 'Word of God' have they rejected?all that i know use the same kjv of the bible that the baptists i know so adore.what in particular about morman belief would you consider 'evil'?how is a religion that worships the same God as all other christian groups and rejects satan with the same fervor...
you must have an awfully broad definition of 'hate'.who do you hate?i don't really feel i 'hate' anyone.sure there are people i'd rather not be around because they've given me a reason to not want them around but i don't wish them ill will or 'hate' them.perhaps i'm not understanding your point.
Well i don't believe 'any' mortal man to be the unimpeachable word of God.Add that to the fact that paul didn't write in english and we dont have many ,if any ,of his original writings in his own hand to know exactly what he did write to be able to know his exact 'take' on everything.
a few years ago i would have scoffed at such a suggestion...but i took one of these a couple years ago and found it led me in a direction i didnt consider likely...but to my surprise right for me in the long run.great suggestion!!
