"And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved." - Omni 1: 26
@JackKnowSquat@Sarahsred7 Agreed! I have an exception for kids who are early readers. Fiction helps them develop imagination. But adults who read fiction only? Nah.
@realDrTT Holy envy: my nephew married a Catholic girl in a church earlier this year. There was a singer who sang some scriptures. Iβm sure thereβs a name for it. Very beautiful.
I don't like debating theology, but a word of warning to evangelicals: the more y'all push a theology debate with Latter-day Saints into the public eye, the less you might like the outcome.
@conservmillen Iβm very happy you had this conversation with Jacob. Itβs the best advertisement for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that Iβve seen in a long time.
Just a reminder...
There is no Mormon Church.
There is no LDS Church.
There is no Mormonism.
There is no Church of the LDS.
"Thus, the name of the Church is not negotiable. When the Savior clearly states what the name of His Church should be and even precedes His declaration with, βThus shall my church be called,β He is serious. And if we allow nicknames to be used or adopt or even sponsor those nicknames ourselves, He is offended." President RussellΒ M. Nelson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2018-2025
