If you look deeply into the most recent historical research, you will find the evidence stacks up in Joseph Smith's favor, in that he never committed adultery and that he was not married for time to anyone who was also married to someone else. If you consider Joseph Smith as someone who built a...

I also hesitate to call anyone a liar. I searched their website for such a quote and couldn't find it. Did you learn of this from someone else quoting from that web site or did you see it there yourself? I think this could just be a misunderstanding of what they may have said. I will not...

By Grace, I am not trying to set any traps for you. The reason it is important for me to point out where you are quoting things from the wrong Mormon sources is that by continually doing it, you show that you are simply repeating commentary from critics of the church instead of learning from the...

This is the best reply yet to my first post. It is well thought out and expressed. Thanks.

That's putting it mildly.

Webb, I want to thank you for bringing some humor into this thread. I read your question to my sick wife and she burst out laughing. It's always nice to laugh a little when you're sick. I couldn't resist laughing out loud either. Most apostles give up top paying jobs to serve what is like two...

Then you need to go back and read verse 9 of John 1, for it clearly states that this light enlightens EVERYONE. The KJV says EVERY MAN THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD. I am well aware of what the Bible teaches in the verses you quote here. They are in complete agreement with everything that...

Pointing out the risks of faith in other gods/lords or christs assumes that I am advocating such risks. I am not, never have and never would. I am not suggesting that any Christian need go outside Christianity to find the teachings of Christ. I am only exploring the attitude of Christians...

Polytheism is about multiple alternative gods, who compete with one another and especially with the only true God of the Bible for our worship. There is nothing in Mormonism that even comes close to this. Mormonism doesn’t even teach that there are gods that are even worthy of our worship other...

First of all, could you please give me a reference where the Book of Mormon discusses Jesus being exalted through eternal progression? In the dozens of times I have read it I have never come across this teaching in the BofM. Second, you say nothing in the BofM can be supported by the Bible, so...

First of all, Mormonism is not polytheistic in the strict definition of the word. Second, the concept of “other gods” is very much a Biblical concept. The Bible teaches this concept in many places and in multiple ways. Mostly it teaches the people of Israel to not worship or serve them. After...

You sure do like to talk a lot about Mormonism. This thread is not about Mormonism. It is clear to anyone aware of what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches or their methods and motives that your conclusions about such are at best the result of a very active imagination. I...

By Grace, you are assuming wrong here. This has nothing to do with promoting Mormonism. I am discussing the meaning of a scripture in the New Testament and that is all I intend this discussion to be about. I said nothing here about worshiping other gods. I am only considering how God loves all...

I was pondering the meaning of John 1:9 and thought this could be a logical conclusion of what it is saying.

Yes, but it says in verse 9 that this light, lighteth every man that cometh into the world. This is obvious to me to be saying that it influences, in some way, every man. How do you believe all men experience that influence if not as their conscience?
