ProfLogic said:Well I mentioned to you that there is the president of the evangelist 30 million strong that currently have lots of time in his hands...
beckysoup61 said:Like I said, recent.
You stated
that it had been around since Jesus.
SoyLeche said:If you intend to "challenge" them with the same tripe you post here, I'm sure they've got better things to do with their time.
beckysoup61 said:He's a bit different then our President. If you knew that about us, you wouldn't be making this comment. And if you are insinuating anything about our current president, I'd suggest you stop now.
ProfLogic said:Is there such a site... plus LDS teachings of justifiable killings are there such things that your prophets had re translated?
ProfLogic said:So how do you communicate with your prophets like if you need to clarify their messages such as their stand on justifiable killings as what this thread seems to say since it came from a self proclaimed god?

As far as I'm considered, none of our prophets have ever spoke 'prophetically' about justifiable killings.
Why don't you go to an LDS Church and find out? Instead of acting all high-and-mighty here.ProfLogic said:How are the loss of life in the bible explained in your religion?

They'll be able to answer your questions and provide you with very stable answers.
Can you please think about what you are saying before you post it? I can't make heads or tails of what you are trying to ask here.ProfLogic said:Is there such a site... plus LDS teachings of justifiable killings are there such things that your prophets had re translated?
ProfLogic said:Is there one that you have access to your prophets?

lilithu said:I agree with Sojourner, sort of. (He may not like my parenthetical caveat.) Jesus was a man. Christ is God (or one "image" of God out of many, to borrow Willamena's term). Jesus was the human incarnation of Christ. Christ may have existed since the beginning with the Father. But Jesus didn't exist until he was born in Bethlehem. Therefore, Jesus could not have ordered the killings in question.
That said, it begs the question: did Christ order the killings.
Islam, I don't know what you hope to gain from this post. If the killings were just, then there's little problem with saying that Christ ordered the killings. If the killings were not just, then Christians will be reluctant to say that Christ had anything to do with them. BUT if the killings were not just, then you condemn your own God as well. The God of Abraham and Isaac is the God of Ishmael as well.
I'm still not sure what you think you are talking aboutProfLogic said:The question was in the LDS were there any messages from your prophets translations about justifiable killings?
Not that I know of. Why don't you just "challenge their prophecy" here. If you ever give a coherent argument about anything, we may be inclined to pass it on.My first request was is there a site that the LDS prophets had allowed people to challenge their prophecy. I am asking you since you say you belong to that organization/faith.

sojourner said:Christ is more than just "one image of God." That statement is one of the classic heresies. Christ is one person of the Triune God. To my mind, Christ is different from Jesus, in that Jesus was "God made flesh" -- the very human nature of the Son, that existed in a certain time and place -- could not have been present in OT times. Christ is the very divine nature of the Son, who is the fullest expression of the unity of God.
The question is really moot, because Jesus, recognizing the absolute sovereignty of God, would have answered, "God does as God does. God wills as God wills." Jesus did not concern himself with the veracity of God's acts...and neither do we.
