@Matthewthewalk1@grok Putting an angel at the top of your temples it’s not prioritizing Christ symbolically. I’m talking about the display prioritizing something, not the Church’s doctrine prioritizing something.
@Matthewthewalk1 It doesn’t have to be a heresy. It just has to be offensive to every non-Mormon Christian to replace the cross with an angel. And to avoid putting crucifixes in your wards and temples is not only offensive to non-Mormon Christians, it’s offensive to Jesus Christ.
@j_divis@ShawnOnMission Smith said he was visited by an angel named Moroni multiple times beginning on the night of September 21, 1823, when he was 17. https://t.co/uoaUszvRVF
@ShawnOnMission The gospel has to be contrary. 3 Nephi 9 of the book of mormon says that Jesus destroyed 16 cities and killed people. How is that contrary to the gospel?
@ImMeme0 "Not accidents. Not “kids being kids.” Packs of juveniles targeting grown people, phones out, recording the beating like it’s a challenge."
You should call yourself, "I meme therefore AI."
@pbabinski91 If it's true, then how did Shule, who was a character from the early Bronze Age, make steel 1000 years before steel was invented?
Ether 7:9 - King Shule "did molten out of the hill, and made swords out of steel."
@CollinRugg Those plates are looked over by the state DOT before they are allowed into the wild. And, believe it or not, some of the employees who inspect the plates have no idea what they're looking at.
Okay, it's believable.
@Primary_Pianist And yet Smith still managed to get Jesus wrong.
Mormonism denies that Son and Father are One. It believes that the Son started out as non-divine. It believes that Christ organized existing matter and energy instead of creating them ex nihilo.
Ancient Egyptian was only barely understood in 1830. So no. Very few people knew it, and they were linguists. Smith loved to reuse suffixes and prefixes as part of his naming convention.
BOOK OF MORMON NAME GENERATOR:
Book of Mormon names can be formed from the following pattern: Amal / Cori / Mor / Mori / Pa / Zer / Zem] + [an / on / am / ant / i / or] + [iah / ihah / nah / um / umr / i
For a couple made-up examples, Amalaniah and Corionihah.
Strangely, the BoM was originally written in reformed Egyptian, but and names look Hebraic. Some of the place names were taken straight from the Bible before those places existed in the Bible.
@GremlinIndustry@jaredgarrett The sites are talking about anything "vulgar, immoral, violent, or pornographic in any way." It doesn't say "and," it says, "or."
