@WittyKitty1776@BasedMikeLee lol w litterally are only studying the Old Testament this whole year and the next year will only be the New Testament. We read the Bible
@5Solas The trinity isn’t “historic Christian faith”, The creeds will never replace the Bible and how it depicts Christ, which is more in line with the lds church’s views.
@MoonfireArt@LowerLeavell It’s funny thinking that reading something and then only relying on praying to god as being “brainwashed”. If you think praying is brain washing then you’re on the wrong side here champ.
@MoonfireArt@LowerLeavell Joseph smith was just a man, and obviously he has his flaws, he’s no better than you or me. The main message of the Book of Mormon is Christ. It’s not Joseph smiths work, and in fact has nothing to do with him, it has all to do with Christ, and is the reason I believe in him.
@MediocreMarvin@DeptMemes@LowerLeavell Their African brothers, the lord needed his own members to grow before this could happen. It was a different time, looking at them from where we’re at now is different from how things were. For their safety I’m sure this was thought out. But now they lead the church!
@MediocreMarvin@DeptMemes@LowerLeavell No because of what the climate was like at the time, they decided to withhold it (racially bigoted members at the time). Joseph smith gave black folks the priesthood. It was a matter of safety, as at that time all or most so called Christian’s and lds members were not great to….
@mutantfrog25@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell Well what’s nuts? Believing in world ending floods, splitting the sea, mana falling from heaven, Elijah raining fire from heaven, Daniel interpreting visions and dreams king nebacanezer had etc. I guess we’re all nuts then. If you believe this the Book of Mormon is not nuts.
@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell I’m sure they did, but not knowing about Bethlehem would’ve brought confusion, and mis understanding. Much similar to how the ark was never given a specific city in the bible, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. But we get the general area.
@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell That’s how the book begins is when lehi and nephi are commanded to leave the city of Jerusalem because it would be destroyed, during the same time frame the book of jeramiah takes place. Their records only tell them about Jerusalem because that’s where their fathers came from.
@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell Oh wow I’m from Vernon…… they won’t understand any of that. But if I say I’m from Los Angeles everyone and their dog knows where that is. Same idea and concept, there would be no way the Nephites would understand what Bethlehem ment.
@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell Saying that he would be in Jerusalem would be a way of teaching the people where the lord would be born, because that’s what they understood and knew where they were at. If I’m telling a foreigner where I’m from in the U.S. for example I’m not going to say….
@DeptMemes@LowerLeavell The book at the begging is even written for the laminates. The lamanites mingle with the Nephites, and there is later no distinction between the two. The lamanites are a special people who do amazing things in the Book of Mormon.
@DeptMemes@LowerLeavell Yes the lord puts coats of skins that distinguish the lamanites from the Nephites. But it doesn’t even matter, because those who read the book know that latter on the lamanites become more righteous at times the the Nephites. There are no “better skin colors” than the other.
@LowerLeavell Those are all things that have been picked apart already by people for ever, they weren’t wrongs you actually found, and they all have answers to the questions there, your just repeating anti lds talking points that aren’t new. And yes I found the church through the Bible also.
@LowerLeavell All of what you said, tells me you didn’t actually read it. And if you did, you were only trying to look for wrongs rather than rights. There’s no way you actually read king Benjamin’s address, korahors story, Alma the younger’s conversion, zerahemnas battle etc.
@JimmyParker87 Yeah, we just don’t care. The majority of religious leaders of Christs time didn’t agree with him either, doesn’t make it wrong. The fact is, is that Christ has restored his church, and you can find out by asking god if it’s true.
@CTownEnjoyer Hey genius, the stop was 2 hours, from the time they pulled them over for not running a stop sign, tell the time they left, it had been 2 hours. They claimed it was for drugs. Yeah no duh dipshit, the search itself was short.
