@TheChosenUte@Utah_sports1000 Did Kobe’s trainers put him in excess creatine that cause cramping and then once he got off of it he was totally fine? Damn it, the ignorant people won’t let it go.
@LieFlatLetItRot@Primary_Pianist 2 Nephi 2:8 and Moroni 6:4 says only by the merits of Jesus Christ can we return to the father. “After all we can do” was an idiom of the day meaning despite all we can do. Checkmate.
@Ficklin4Heisman@BradyPoppinga She didn’t want to testify. In this country we have a right to a speedy trial. She can bring the charges again when she’s “ready”. You can’t charge someone with an act and then not be willing to stand behind your claim.
The Pharisees also didn’t like Jesus Christ and rejected him questioning his authority and questioning why he didn’t follow their wayward traditions. Sound familiar, Pharisee? They were gate keepers to the gospel, much like what you are trying to do now. You want to decide who belongs in the club. But it’s not your club.
He dictated the full Book of Mormon in 26 days. Nobody has come close to this literary achievement. You read that book and tell me anyone could do a similar literary feat in that timeline. Even your best writers it the past 1,000 years couldn’t do it.
For those of us who enjoy giving to others, 10% is nothing.
@swifthampton@RepMikeKennedy So, what about the LDS people that have won the congressional Medal of Honor. Should they be removed from history because you got angry on the internet?
@Victori77417378@RepMikeKennedy The Pharisees said the same thing to Jesus Christ as they questioned his authority and non conformity to their wayward traditions.
@BradfordShelto3@jasoninthehouse Universities generate millions from tuition and downy pay taxes. They also have endowment funds that invest money for returns that do get taxed. It’s basically the exact same thing. Get it?
You’re equating spiritual conviction to mere ‘emotion’ and claiming you are rational? You do this, perhaps, so that, if you can reduce spiritual conviction to mere emotion, then you never have to deal with it?
Latter-day Saints do not teach that truth is determined by random emotional impulses.
The scriptural model is:
1) study and reason things out,
2) wrestle intellectually and morally with the claim,
3) live the principles,
4) and then seek divine confirmation through the Holy Ghost.
That is fundamentally different from “I got emotional therefore it’s true.”
