Catholic. I think the convertibility of the Transcendentals is both very cool and eminently true.

@emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint I'm really starting to question whether Jacob is a good faith actor. Like, this stuff just comes off as kinda evil

[Ethan Muse @emuse1955]

Let me get this straight. The video begins with a clip to poison the well against me. None of the arguments I present in the opening are explained to the audience at all. You slander about me by stating that my position is that the Hurlbut affidavits are 100% true. I know that you know that is not my position - so it is literally you maliciously lying about me to your audience. You lie and say that all my information was from Mormonism Unvailed when you know that I referenced tons of other sources. You cut between two second sound-bites - in several cases you edit out the context in a way that is outright deceptive. You dont mention a single response that I gave to Luke's arguments or include any exchange of more than a couple seconds between me and Luke.

@spiderking232 @simonsnathank @Bearistotle1337 (That was a bit snarky, sry)

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@spiderking232 @simonsnathank @Bearistotle1337 True, Ethans case was excellent, but the failure of his opponent to respond doesn't change that

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint I only see one kind of lie attributed to Abraham, namely calling his wife Sarah his sister. JS publicly denied the accusations of polygamy leveled at him, despite having many many wives at the time of this denial, & said that if such claims were true he would be an adulterer

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@simonsnathank @Bearistotle1337 He should at least defend against Ethan's case tho. That's his job has the negative

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint No, Abraham was not evil bc he did not habitually and unrepentantly engage in gravely evil acts. JS did, and such acts not only indicate he is evil but undermine the reliability of his public preaching as we have record that he lied while preaching publicly

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@hopefultheism @tylercurtis42 @ThoughtfulSaint Which testimony are you referring to? We have multiple testimonies of this event

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint Abraham lied bc he spoke a falsehood with the intent to mislead, as did JS, just in a much more grave manner. Deception can be done without actually saying anything false

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@ThoughtfulSaint That's not the agreed upon resolution. The resolution was: "It is more likely that the Book of Mormon was inspired by demons than by God."
Reading the BoM is not necessary to argue the affirmative since the focus is authorship not content

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint I can just quote the Bible on this stuff u know. OT regularly says it is evil to lie for example

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint Deception is not the same as lying. This is a basic distinction

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint Where did I say this is personal interpretation?

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint 1 Kings 22 says nothing about God lying, neither does 2 Chronicles. False prophets lying does not mean God lies

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@hopefultheism @tylercurtis42 @ThoughtfulSaint Bruh, when he laid hands on Witlock he became possessed by a demon. Like, I can't think of a more straightforward way to discredit someone as a prophet of God

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint Can you share the tweet?

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@seanproxy @IgorIsBack @emuse1955 @ThoughtfulSaint God does not lie in the Bible

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@tylercurtis42 @hopefultheism @ThoughtfulSaint I don't see why a neutral observer would not find his case compelling. In fact, I don't see why a rational LDS viewer would not find his case compelling.

[Joseph Albrigo @JosephAlbrigo]

@hopefultheism @tylercurtis42 @ThoughtfulSaint I've seen some of the exchange, and I haven't seen Ethan throwing around ad hominems
