    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    The Old Testament foretold of a suffering Messiah. David prophesied about the crucifixion of Jesus in Psalms 22. Many, not all, of the Jews rejected Jesus as the suffering Messiah because they wanted a king to deliver them, so they tried to seize Jesus and make him their king. Messiah was a...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    JBF, ol' buddy, I am putting you on the spot. You have the smarts and the confidence to tackle this. As a whole the scriptures do not contradict each other. Willing to work with me?

    Don't expect, nor am i looking for an apology. And bombard you...lol you have to be kidding me. You ask me...Do you believe that the Bible is THE written word of God? Of course I do... And the Jews could say the same thing about the New Testament. and yes it did not happen as foretold. They...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    So what do you take exception to...other than it is not your religion. They consider Joseph Smith a prophet. He started the religion because he believed all other religions were wrong. Pretty much the same reason the Protestants started their religions, except the Mormons believe there were...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Understanding.....you can read scriptures, you can memorize scriptures, you can read in a presumed literal meaning into a scripture, but understanding is a whole different level. How many people do you think say that the scriptures do not contradict, but pick the scriptures to prove their...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Yeap, I see what you are saying. A spirit.......that has the form and likeness of a man. Knowing what I know about the Mormons I am going to say that this is a clarification that the Holy Spirit.....Holy Ghost is not poltergeist, in like form. Still, Jane may be able to elaborate on this better...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    No that does not sound at all right. Their model of the Trinity (and Jane may correct me on this) is like one the none official Protestant beliefs. Where God the Father and God the Son are different than the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is more spirit and less substance for lack of better words.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Persistence is cool...Paul was stubborn....a character trait....whether he was persecuting the Christians or promoting the Christians. And he was smart....which proves that smart does not always mean you are right. From the beginning I was trying to get you to look at the big picture, you are...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Nope I am not rude to Ladies. PW is smart and stubborn, but stubbornness is not always a bad thing. No one here has the authority to determine who is Christian or who is not. Patience, courage, Jane has it hands down, she stood and took interrogation from all sides.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Brakelite said The question is whether Mormons can justifiably call themselves Christian based on what doctrines...true teachings...that both belief systems hold...and there are vast differences. Justifiably....that is problem! She does not need to justify her beliefs to you or anybody. You do...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    You are a Smart lady....very stubborn....I will go out on a limb and say that is not the first time you have heard that. lol Of all the denominations we call Christians.....which ones are the "Best?" Which ones best represent Christianity? The Moslems have the Koran, it is a very well written...

    Should women teach the bible?

    Paul said it is good for man not to touch a woman. Hey guys live by that motto! Some of the early Christians took this so seriously that they lived in tower, trees, and caves, to get away from the world. He gave up marriage as a concession. There is really no big push for family and...

    Freemasonry

    AHHHH!!! This is going to drive the conspiracy theorists nuts!!! We have all heard this all of our lives. If you ask one of our children or grandchildren what kind of work Jesus did before entering upon His public ministry at the age of thirty, they will quickly declare: "He was a carpenter...

    1. You are not going to make that "ascertain" by making her defensive. 2. If you use negative terms....it will go negative. "Claims" you are under the spot light under interrogation among people that don't like you. Among conspiracy theorists who's intentions are obvious, to get information...
