    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Therein lies the problem. When I started my Book I setup a set of preconditions. I did not care what the truth was, just looking for the truth. The truth still takes you to God. But there is a transition from having faith in the Bible and faith in the truth. As you can see here on this forum...

    Out of fundamentalism :) It only matter so much. But the topic of biblical errors is something else. The most important functions of the Bible is faith, salvation, relationship with God etc....it does that. And if it does that for you and you like the thought that it is inerrant, what does it hurt.

    I do not think anything. He rose on Sunday. I told you your not going to like this. He definitely was crucified on Friday. You should let it go, you are not going to believe the explanation.

    I do not have to explain 3 days and 3 nights. I just have to explain that I know Christ was crucified on Friday.

    It is not the only place that the 3 days and 3 nights is mentioned. Tradition has it that when Christ was on the cross and when He told the thief that today you will be in paradise, He was speaking of Sheol. Where Christ would go to preach the Gospel to the Jews.

    I understand, written by people that don't know that Christ was crucified the day before Passover. By the time these people try to explain how the time adds up, it throws reality out the window or they calculate it such a Klondike manner that if you were to apply that arithmetic to reality, the...

    So very true. If your studying the history of the progression of the texts then you are going to come acrossed indications of the oral tradition methods and stories that were told by different people. That explains a lot of it. It may explain some of the inconsistencies of the story of Christ's...

    I was not ignoring you, I was giving the ladies time to talk. How many stories in the Bible that occur twice have inconsistencies in them?

    A child....the 3X5 card thing.....the 30,000 some odd denominations....even grownups can't get it. But hold that thought for a moment and I will step back and let you and Jane talk for awhile.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I understand the interpretational errors and some of that can be expected. What I am talking about is the intent to alter. I am talking about the large categorical changes and the replacement of scripture with different theological concepts. The removal of God the Father's and God the Son's name...

    I like the Sheesh thing! Thank you Love humor. I fellowship with many denominations, there are things that they believe that I do not. The Catholics have some wild things going on. There are people on this forum that want to merge Judaism with Christianity. Noah was saved by faith.... Belief...

    I do not know for sure. I do believe in modern revelation. But I do know that they believe in Christ and have right to what they believe. 2000 years of divine activity. Probably going to have some updates. They are not the only ones, years back there was a preacher that told of a story of...

    Ya, they crucified God the Father and God the Holy Spirit on the cross, and Christ was talking to Himself in the garden.

    Your denomination is the one that spread false accusations about God. And then you have the audacity to question their divine beliefs. You represent the anti-gospel, spoke by the anti-Christ.

    Again, your telling me that the blood thirsty mind control puppet master that play Satan is the God of the scriptures. What would be the worst cult, one that would slander the character of God, to edify themselves. The god you bend the knee to, by your own description has the character of Satan...
