@m_shortpants@MiddleearthMixr Wow buddy better go on a two year unpaid mission there!
What's that? Single digit percentages of your church even do that? How convinced they must be in their theology!
If Joseph Smith (PBUH) had said he was an author or philosopher he would have been one of America's most revered minds. Every rightoid would read the Book of Mormon as the height of American epic literature. Some of you will be shocked to hear this but its true.
The Mongols destroyed the Mesopotamian irrigation system so thoroughly that 1940 was actually presents a centuries long increase back to the mean.
Crazy what some horse archers can do.
We have economic cuneiform data showing that agricultural yields in 1940s Iraq were similar to average yields in Mesopotamia 4000 years ago.
6000 years of stagnation.
@Rog973521 For instance, the "Galatians 1:8" argument is tedious and retarded. People will post the verse and if we don't agree that it means Mormonism is false, they won't even bother discussing anything else. Why waste my time when they are using the verse as a thought terminating cliche
You never get anything but the most surface level arguments from people attacking my faith. It quickly develops into semantics or naked resentment because these people have never bothered to interrogate their own faith, let alone others'.
@Rog973521 It's not the people questioning my faith I'm speaking of, I see those people all the time. It's those who somehow think that because pastor Jim or father thomas said X, me simply disagreeing with X means they can dismiss my faith without merit.
@daschnauzer90@mormongoblin@extradeadjcb Okay so what's the dividing line? If I believe and act faithfully to his words but decide I have no firm opinion on his nature with the father, am I damned? What if I lean one way but not all the way?
@daschnauzer90@mormongoblin@extradeadjcb And this understanding is paramount to you? More so than believing on his words and living in accordance to his teachings?
Am I to to be saved or damned based on a nuance of understanding?

Nigga you ARE the government, go ask them not twitter.
@Stephen19718352@interstatejuche I mean yes? What do you think the Bible is for? It's a tool for teaching you how to act with God, but not god itself. I obviously don't believe the same thing you do about that verse, the ability to resolve a dispute must come from elsewhere.
@kilofoxtrotzero@extradeadjcb@QuodNostra And how do you become aware of him? I'll give you a hint, it's a lot more prayer and actions than it is making sure the definition of him in your head is the correct one.
Mike, do you believe Jesus Christ physically came to visit North America in the first century AD?
Be careful. Because once you answer, you can’t take it back after you see how the public responds.
@Stephen19718352@interstatejuche Yeah because youve never looked hard have you, dolt.
