    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Being deliberately offensive doesn’t bring people to God. How about instead taking the time to understand another person’s perspective? I for one: believe that Mary was a very righteous person, and an important tool in Gods masterful plan. She should be honored and respected, along with all...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    That is not an accurate and nor productive thing to say.

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    This blind stereotyping of yours is not accurate, and not needed.

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    That is completely false. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ believe that Mary was a virgin at the time of Christ's birth. This is stated both in the Bible and Book of Mormon. As to Christ: LDS Christians believe that He is a separate person from the Father, but indeed the divine Son of...

    King James Version Only...?

    My denomination uses KJV for English congregations, primarily for consistency. In congregations that speak Spanish, there's one Spanish translation used, again for consistency. Same with French, Mandarin, etc. 1) No. Spanish congregations use a Spanish version, etc. 2) No, obviously. 3)...

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    Oh, I misunderstood your previous comment, my bad. I thought you were asking me to respond to something -- and hence was going to respond to you. Sorry.

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    Ok, you are indeed worth responding to, bbyrd009. What part would you like me to talk about?

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    Bullying is about the way on conducts themselves. "Anti-cuilt" tactics are almost always that way and ... to be honest I find them downright shameful and not befitting any disciple of Christ. And how many people have been killed by Christians overall over the centuries? Millions? How many...

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    The Missouri things is a long convoluted story. In super short: LDS Christians set up in Missouri in the 1830's, and the other Christian neighbors did not like it at all. On both sides there was a lot of mobs, rage, some deaths, and the Missouri Governor issued the "Mormon Extermination Order"...

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    I am also a bully-phobe. Such is a complete turn off for me. And when they do so in the name of God .... *shudder in disgust* To answer your question: nothing ever justifies bullying. It's almost always better to turn the other cheek or walk away. There are points you do need to stand up...

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    Hitting the major points: -It was stated that LDS Christians don't acknowledge the salvation of non-LDS individuals. Reality: LDS Christians totally acknowledge that possibility of those folk's salvation <- such is actually a major theological point. -It was stated that LDS missionaries are...

    Edward Fudge: Hero Or Heretic?

    Agreed. Labeling gives the labeler the excuse to stop seeing their victims as an actual person, and instead some de-humanized thing to be assaulted without remorse. Such is COMPLETELY against the way of Christ where we are called to love each other, even the those that sin. Let us each cast...

    ^This is a complete load of crock. Just complete crock.

    Symbolic baptism?

    Baptism always has a purpose- that’s why people do it. Rather than insulting anyone’s method of baptism ( which is completely counter productive), it’s best to step back and first exam the “why be baptized “ question. Understanding the different reasonings behind things will then help you...

    Bible alone?

    Or a person could ask God, rather than man’s opinions.

    Bible alone?

    I find the logic behind the "sufficiency of scripture" paradigm to be extremely flawed, hence i cannot even address that question. "Defying" versus "Continuing to speak and testify" are two completely different things. I don't believe in defiance, but I do passionately believe in continual...

    Bible alone?

    I accept that as revelation from Him, but do not limit His revelation to just that.

    Bible alone?

    Ultimately, if you want to know if anything is from God, ask Him. He'll answer and not hold back. That includes a particular book in the Bible, or the Bible as a whole. The Spirit is the one whom will testify above all else.
