Kindly Controversial

Peacefully seeking to eradicate Satan’s deceptions in a world full of good intentions. I combat ideas, not people. (Sorry for my frequent typos🤦‍♂️)

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

This is exactly what I try to remember in my online interactions. I sincerely try my best to remain civil and understanding even on the most controversial of issues.

[Russell M. Nelson @NelsonRussellM]

True disciples of Jesus Christ build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire. We can literally change the world—one person and one interaction at a time.

@Eren020590 @ThoughtfulSaint So there are multiple God "persons"?

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@Eren020590 @ThoughtfulSaint If you say that the syllogisms are structurally the same then you are saying the following:
Bruce Wayne ≠ All men.
Jesus ≠ God.

So the question becomes: Is Jesus God?

@NatDew011 @MonogamistJoe @gabrielsposts @ThoughtfulSaint Many of us do entertain the idea. But we come to the realization that the evidence that plural marriage came by command is much stronger than these few evidences against it. We acknowledge what you say. But we can't deny everything just because you find some old quotes.

@NewsMormon @MoreLightTruth @_Cultch What an amazing way to invite someone to have a respectful conversation…..

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@BasicBaptistGuy @spiderking232 I didn’t question the events of scripture. I pointed out the hypocrisy of your suppositions. I embrace the absurdity of my beliefs. You seem to think yours are not at all absurd.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @BasicBaptistGuy I’m assuming that those stories were included for some reason and I try to learn from them. I have no idea whether or not some things are completely literal, but my faith is not dependent on that. I have faith that God could make a donkey speak. But I don’t know if he did.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@BasicBaptistGuy The power of faith comes because of its absurdity, not in spite of it.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@BasicBaptistGuy And reading the Bible we learn that donkeys talk, a dude lived for days inside of a whale, another dude was able to build a boat big enough to hold and feed every animal on earth, etc…..

Glass houses my friend.

@austinknight @Joshua6285 I think you misunderstand the purpose of the Church

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint Because the Book of Mormon is not the Church. The BoM is a wonderful book of scripture that teaches the Gospel.

It depends on where you are in your progression and your individual relationship with Christ. In the end, only with those things can receive of God’s fullness

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint You don’t need to be endowed to be “right with god.” You need to exercise faith in Christ and progress just as the Book of Mormon plainly teaches. The natural progression of the gospel is to receive all of God’s blessings and gifts such as the temple endowment.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint Every model of the plan of salvation is a simplification intended to teach us key principles. You start with algebra before calculus. Most things in the gospel are purposefully presented in a simplified state. “Milk before meat.”

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint The Book of Mormon is riddled with hints. Go read John Butler’s book “In the Language of Adam.”

What does the Secret Gospel of Mark allegedly contain? And why wasn’t it given to us?

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint Nope.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint The Nephites definitely had those things.

Have you heard of the Secret Gospel of Mark?

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint Definitely.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint By God.

The Nephites definitely were temple worshippers. As were the New Testament disciples.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint Temple is one of the most important and useful tools given to us in our day.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint You seem to have suggested that because God knew about those things that he should have taught us.

He gives us knowledge based on our obedience and our ability to live by the light and knowledge we already have.

[Kindly Controversial @KindCombatant]

@synthenergy @LatentMajesty @ThoughtfulSaint Of course God did. Are you suggesting that man should be expected to know everything that God does?
