    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I think I did define reality. It a college course, the five senses and the limitations thereof. Can you study reality with only five senses? Physical reality, metaphysical reality, spiritual reality, and the reality of the cosmos. The physical is real, the Divine is real, and the cosmos is real...

    Significant dates of Christ - Frankincense - Are the customs Pagan? Dinners around the world!

    I have been tracking it, for awhile. Possible mega meteor shower with some breaking the sound barrier.

    Significant dates of Christ - Frankincense - Are the customs Pagan? Dinners around the world!

    Thanks....Since you like to calculate....Some people understand that the numbers in Revelation mean things. But that is also true throughout the Bible. 3,7, 10, 12, 40, and 400, mean things....not necessarily physical time as it ticks. 3 days is not a stumbling block. Also there is a tradition...

    Amadeus, when you get going you say a mouthful. I was not disagreeing with you either, just adding a point, concerned with how you are thinking. That is why I edited my post. *disliking of the usage of the word, "reality" *People here on this forum, and I guess everywhere, use the word...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Reading this it sounded like I was disagreeing with you. So I am going to clarify....My concepts of reality is that God is real and this world is real. We have to try to understand both. But we cannot hide from the world. Reality is what we see, faith is what we do not see. There is a point to...

    Never said you believe the puppet show....or I would not be talking to you...to any length. God can do anything...we are in agreement.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    God has the power to do anything! But as you probably know, there are people that think that God's sovereign means He controls everything in the Calvin puppet show.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    It has been proven how many changes men have made in the scriptures to insert their beliefs. But I get the concept that whatever arrives in the Bible box, no matter the modifications, that God has approved it.....I do not believe that. Even though I respect other's beliefs in that.

    but our sovereign God sees to it that His will is accomplished ultimately. Sovereign has a meaning. And it means different things to different people.....the word sovereign does not appear in the Bible. Taking modern terms and superimposing them on the scriptures is how scriptures are...

    And interpreting the scriptures correctly take the work of the Holy Spirit....That is why we have thousands of correct denominations?

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    God's power is everywhere, our power is not. All things are possible with the Lord. History...Generally speaking....OT and NT...when God wants something done, He assigns champions and they have always had their faults. Christ came because a human champion would not due.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I am saying we live in reality. It is like people think that Christ came down and certified one translation over another. And I will say, to larger conversation that not keeping it in the real is going to make Christianity look like a fairy tale to the younger people. Cavemen and dinosaurs are...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I am sure that the modern publishers do better than the KJV. If by chance you go to a yard sale and find one of the Adulterer's Bibles, or the Vinegar Bible, or the Murmurer's Bible, or the Wife hater's Bibles, Drinker's Bible etc...they are very valuable. And the companies that published them...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    legitimate Bible publishers are much too careful to let this happen because they know they're dealing with God's Word, not just another book. You do know that is joke...right!

    *GH, you speak with such authority as though you KNOW these things, almost as if you were there! But you're not THAT old. Hey I am old! And smarter than your average bear! :oops: *Did you read the scripture I quoted?? Paul said that His message was not a "human message," but was "the...

    The three treasures of the Magi Matthew 2:11 After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Isaiah 60:6 “A multitude of camels will...

    *We really don't know what was quoted orally early on Are you talking of the Old Testament or New Testament? *Of course, all of the epistles were initially written, so I'm not sure how this could be part of the oral tradition only. Are you thinking of a printing press a UPS delivery, or an...

    All Things Are Lawful Unto Me

    1st Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. NASB All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. KJB I have the right to do anything,”...

    @Prayer Warrior @Giuliano *I don't believe that OT prophets usually went into a trance when the Spirit moved on them. That is why it takes a little history to understand the scriptures. It is called altered states or ecstasy. Ever heard of the whirling prophets of Yahweh? *I have heard some...
