@CapturingChrist Ethan saying that classical theism is in the Book of Mormon is a great example he hasn't read all of it. Infinite regression is a theory outside the Book of Mormon. Abrahamic cosmology and symbolism is outside of the Book of Mormon. Ethan is very bad with sources.
@gumbyofgad@ThoughtfulSaint Seriously. I don't appreciate when people use their tone (laughing) as if it's obvious what they're saying is true. It's just ridicule but he's missing his own assumptions.
@ThoughtfulSaint For some reason, some people think it's okay to kill while defending yourself but lie to save yourself?? No way man, can't have that...
@BruceSaiFun Catholic, Jewish, Orthodox and many other faiths wear clothing for rituals with symbols. I'm convinced that because we don't use expensive robes (because we want anyone to be able to afford temple clothing), they mock us for it. Sorry we can't afford to look like the pope.
@rcsprouljr@carburt Everyone is talking past each other here. It doesn't make sense for a Latter-day Saint to believe that Christ was created. We don't believe that you or I are created. Christ is eternal. That's what that means. Uncreated. Everyone needs to learn our language before criticizing us.
@Dontmesswosint@KoolBro200@HarmOrAccident Evidence:Martin Harris said endlessly that he saw angels and the plates just as he saw any other object in a room. Spiritual eyes is a reference to needing to be changed to be in the presence of God, as explained in D&C 67. Please don't ascribe motive w/o understanding background
@Clipstobeviral The social contagion is strong. Most of these I would have seen with a sense of awe, not phobia. Awe can contain elements of fear, but also admiration, attraction, and a pull to greatness. Climb the mountain, sail the seas, conquer dragons.
@ProdigalSonMatt I've felt it too. I originally thought I was just having a personal revival, studying and listening to more gospel relates content. But now it feels like we're being drawn as society at large, given a little bit greater strength.
@TheQuartering Married forever. We want to be healthy, we want to be of strong will and of great character in all things but we're gonna fall short. We're gonna gain weight, we're gonna be depressed, we're gonna make poor choices. But pure commitment means helping your spouse. This is a W.
