@dttpeople Egyptologists reviewed fragments of what was left after the Great Chicago Fire. Of the tiny pieces left, out of dozens of parchment, they matched funery texts like the common book of the dead. They did not review all the parchment Joseph had. Real criticism doesn't have to lie.
Mormon: Hi! I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Evangelical: Oh, so you’re not a Christian.
Mormon: Actually, I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of—
Evangelical: You believe in a different Jesus.
Mormon: Which part is different?
Evangelical: Joseph Smith.
Mormon: I asked about Jesus.
Evangelical: Joseph Smith was a false prophet.
Mormon: Okay… but you said I believe in a different Jesus. Can you explain how?
Evangelical: The Trinity.
Mormon: Can you explain the Trinity?
Evangelical: It’s a mystery.
Mormon: So what exactly do I believe incorrectly?
Evangelical: You reject the Nicene Creed.
Mormon: The Nicene Creed isn’t in the Bible.
Evangelical: The Bible was compiled by the Church.
Mormon: So where does the Bible teach the Nicene Creed?
Evangelical: Joseph Smith had 34 wives.
Mormon: …I thought we were talking about Jesus.
Evangelical: The Book of Mormon has 4,000 changes.
Mormon: What doctrine changed?
Evangelical: Horses.
Mormon: Horses are a doctrine?
Evangelical: DNA.
Mormon: How does that answer the question?
Evangelical: Nahom isn’t proof.
Mormon: I didn’t mention Nahom.
Evangelical: Archaeology doesn’t save you.
Mormon: Neither does changing the subject.
Evangelical: Your church teaches you become gods.
Mormon: Would you like to discuss that?
Evangelical: No.
Mormon: Then why bring it up?
Evangelical: You use another gospel.
Mormon: What is the gospel?
Evangelical: Faith alone.
Mormon: Where does the Bible define the gospel that way?
Evangelical: Ephesians 2:8-9.
Mormon: Could we read verses 10 and 11 too?
Evangelical: Galatians 1.
Mormon: Paul was warning about people changing the gospel. What does he define the gospel as?
Evangelical: Joseph Smith was a treasure hunter.
Mormon: We’re talking about Paul’s definition of the gospel.
Evangelical: Your church hides history.
Mormon: Which history?
Evangelical: Seer stones.
Mormon: The Church published pictures of them.
Evangelical: They only admitted it recently.
Mormon: The Ensign discussed them decades ago.
Evangelical: That’s beside the point.
Mormon: What is the point?
Evangelical: You’re following a false Jesus.
Mormon: Can we define “false Jesus”?
Evangelical: No, because then we’d have to talk about the Trinity again.
Mormon: Which I asked you to explain.
Evangelical: You wouldn’t understand.
Mormon: How can I reject something you can’t explain?
Evangelical: See? That’s exactly why you’re deceived.
Mormon: …
Evangelical: Anyway, have you heard about Joseph Smith’s 1826 trial?
“Every faithful Methodist that has lived up to, and faithfully fulfilled the requirements of his religion, according to the best light he had, doing good to all, and evil to none; injuring no person upon the earth, honoring his God as far as he knows, will have as great a heaven as he ever anticipated in the flesh, and far greater. Every Presbyterian, and every Quaker, and every Baptist, and every Roman Catholic member, every reformer of whatever class or grade, that lives according to the best light they have, and never have had an opportunity of receiving a greater light than the one in their possession, will have and enjoy all they live for.” - Brigham Young
God loves ALL His children. God is fair. God is good.
All of these mainstream media reporters constantly wrote articles declaring pizzagate was fake. Coincidentally, all of these same reporters were arrested and charged for rap*ng and sexually abusing children. Some of the victims were toddlers.
There are NO coincidences.
@SamaHoole You will never come Vincee that building a lab, to heat and cool, with equipment, workers, plastic, nails, concrete, etc will ever be cleaner than a pasture. These people are climate cultists they have been confused.
They believe God has a body.
They believe God looks human.
They believe God lives in a real place and can be seen.
They believe humans are made to look like God, the way children look like their parents.
They believe God has a face, hands, feet, and a voice.
They believe God speaks out loud and shows emotion.
They believe God rules alongside other divine beings.
They believe Jesus and God are two separate beings.
They believe the Holy Spirit is also a distinct being, not the same person as God or Jesus.
They believe Jesus has seen God and now stands beside Him in heaven.
Who is “they”?
They are the Christians of the New Testament period, according to scholars of the Bible and early Christianity, including Francesca Stavrakopoulou.
This reflects mainstream scholarship on early Christian belief, before later church councils and creeds reshaped Christian theology.
POWERFUL counsel from Sister Tamara W. Runia:
“You are not the voice in your head or the mistakes you have made....Your worth isn’t tied to obedience. Your worth is constant; it never changes. It was given to you by God, and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do to change it. Obedience brings blessings; that is true. But worth isn’t one of them. Your worth is always ‘great in the sight of God,’ no matter where your decisions have taken you."

SNAP no longer subsidizes buying junk food, and now the price of junk food is dropping.
Could you imagine if we applied this principle to college? Or healthcare?

Humans can't digest cellulose. It passes straight through us.
Grass is 30-40% cellulose.
70% of Earth's agricultural land grows grass and not much else.
Without ruminants, 70% of agricultural land produces zero human food.
Cattle are the only way to convert that grass into nutrition we can actually use.
They're not competing with human food. They're creating food from resources we physically cannot digest.
This is the point everyone misses: Cattle aren't inefficient. Cattle are the ONLY way to make marginal land productive.
You can't grow quinoa on Scottish highlands. The terrain is too steep, the soil too poor, the climate too harsh.
But grass grows there. And cattle eat grass.
Remove the cattle and you haven't freed up land for crops. You've just made 70% of agricultural land completely useless.
@Next50Years We accept so much of these things in our daily life without even considering if it's weird, but when these robes, veils, gestures, happen in connection to the religious experience it's weird. But where did these social traditions originate? From long standing temple worship.
@Next50Years -Veils hide the pure from the impure
-Hand gestures like placing one hand, palm down on the bible, and one arm raised to the square are used when making a oath of truth.
-Hooded at graduations show induction to an Order.
-Joining many select groups have an initiation tradition.
@FiredUpCoug I understand the nature of the outrage, but confused how everyone thinks we are playing a game of fairness. If you are in this camp, the world will hate you. Stop expecting the world to respect us, be kind to us or even not attack us. It's our burden to bare, and with grace.
