@nicoraytruth Old ones had murals and history and character. New chapels are boring and sleepy. Many new temples are becoming boring too. No Moroni, cookie cutter tall buildings.
@nicoraytruth@AdelheidMonroe In my entire life, most of it believing there was real power in priesthood, I cannot recall one experience where there is anything supernatural about it.
@JoelMCurzon Also interesting. Mark may have written “Why have you mocked me?”
5th-century Codex Bezae and a few Latin manuscripts instead have a Greek word meaning “mocked” or “reviled” (roughly ὠνείδισάς με).
@CulperTheThird@tarheel_retard2 I’ve deconstructed Mormonism after growing up in it.
But I don’t see much difference with Christianity. It’s still “trust me bro”
@Caliazor@ChappyChapelton@Joeray This discipline is called critical scholarship. @grok what do critical scholars say about it this topic and the moral meaning and intent of these verses we have been discussing?
🚨 TODAY IN CHRISTIAN EMBARRASSING HISTORY
📅 c. AD 51
Apostle Paul told the Thessalonians that “we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord” would be caught up to meet him, and that “the time is short,” “the Lord is at hand,” and “the night is far gone; the day is at hand.”
2,000 years later, apparently there was no need to rush.

🚨 TODAY IN LDS EMBARRASSING HISTORY
📅 October 20, 1850
Mormon apostle Wilford Woodruff told a congregation he dreamed that the deceased Joseph and Hyrum Smith were in the spirit world, frantically preparing because the time was set for Christ’s return.
176 years later, apparently there was no need to rush.
