When religious discussion takes place both sides preach. Just like the LDS missionaries going door to door. If you want it to be one-sided preaching, I see no reason to hang around. Bye.

Oh, my apologies. I understand. LDS links aren't allowed on some Christian boards.

"Slip" it in? I'm not angry. Are you? We're just talking here.

You're right. Neither one will walk away convinced that the other is right. My purpose is to gather information and to compare the LDS religion to that of Christianity here and in the future with those I meet. I'm getting a free education! :-) Thanks. (Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? )

Snow, one cannot prove a negative. Yes, it's an informed assertion on my part. Do you know of one that does accept the LDS religion as Christian? Thus far even the Episcopal church doesn't. But it wouldn't surprise me if they started accepting just about anything and everything as they're headed for deep left field foul ball territory the way it is. P.S. I'm sorry I don't meet your standards of what's considered substance.

Oh, sorry. I thought it was common knowledge in LDS circles that the BoA was proven to be a funeral thingie and not written by Abraham himself. Are "anti" links okay here? I know of at least a dozen on the topic.

Have you ever considered the fact that not a single denomination of Christianity accepts the LDS religion as Christian? It is very different. P.S. The Book of Abraham. Proven incorrect. But you won't change your beliefs.

Of course. But one still must be Mormon, right? Let me see if I have this straight. If you go to the CK and I go to the telestial then you are more worthy than me.

And now from the Book of Mormon? When copy/pasting from LDS.org, if you first click "options" and then "Hide footnote indicators" you won't have words like bwe, aone, akeep and bestate

Where is the preexistence story clarified in the Book of Mormon? I'd like to read on that.

You imagine correctly, Snow. I read here at LDS.net for awhile before I posted. I saw that you're utterly convinced of the truthfulness of your beliefs. You're right. Nothing presented will "prove" anything to you. I'm not intending to be disrespectful to you in the least, but rather just making an observation. Is there anything at all that LDS critics have to say that disproves Mormonism? Anything? "Up till last night you were completely unaware of the pervasive teaching of divination in Christianity." No, not at all. I am indeed aware. I believe LDS theology takes the thoughts too far.

That's my point. Thanks. I'm unable to be exalted until I "change" a few things, i.e. become a Mormon, right? :-) Are you more worthy?

My statement looks fine to me. Christianity as a whole knows nothing of a heavenly Mother, i.e. "God's wife." It's more a uniquely LDS belief that God and Mother procreated Jesus and Satan and all of us as spirit-brothers in what's known as the preexistence. I'm aware that Mormons believe it. Can sincerity of belief create truth?
