(1) Why would he copy from the KJV instead of relying on revelation? Using a word (raca) that we don't really understand today, and refering to the Jewish Sanhedrin? How strange. Josh B)

We discourage plagiarism here. You got this from IRR's (anti-Mormon) web site, so you need to acknowledge their input instead of presenting the work as your own. As I've said, you'd have more respect here if you put half as much effort into gaining an understaning of LDS beliefs as you do trying to "disprove" them... I'm not allow to give links to the site where I got it from, why don't you answer the question? :) Josh B)

love to see a link for that such as.... yup. (one of my favorite sites) obviously you don't understand the concept of "sarcasm" The one from IRR, (it was edited out) Josh B)

Exactly. Not "rewrite" add an update, people keep telling it's not really doctrine unless it's cannonized Josh B)

am I allowed to answer this question without breaking the rules of the board? please forgive me if I am not..... :) Joseph Smith - False prophet (3) no reason to think he was a true prophet. Josh B) Edited By Strawberry Fields Sorry, you are not allowed to post anti-mormon things here. B) This is your warning.

Nice to meet you! Josh B)

lol...I didnt' really think that they would update the D&C just because I recommend it However, my arugment is logical, if the Word of Wisdom has been updated, this update should be in the D&C. Josh B)

I will quote the verse.... Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. It clearly explains what "Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" means. It refers to "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." Not where a person gets their info, but what "fruit" comes from what "tree" I am an advocate of what I consider the truth. Josh B)

First cottage cheese, now olives!? Josh B)

My opinion? Mostly hype, but I assume they could be a positive "life-changing" experience... Josh B)

No Angel of Death? No flaming swords? Frankly I'm not impressed! Josh B)

Why should the D&C be updated? Because (as I have been told again and again) everything is only a prophet's opinion unless it is cannonized. If it says in a Standard work, You shouldn't eat meat in the summer but this in no longer the will of God, the Standard work should be updated. Josh B)

I'm not saying to you should, when I posted that, no one had mentioned that it has been "updated" However, this "update" (in my opinion) should be added to the D&C Josh B)

If I remeber correctly you give the meaning of this verse as something along the lines of "If you want to know about mormonism, only go to mormon sites" (emphasis added)I feel it just means that A good tree doesn't produce evil fruit, and an evil tree doesn't produce good fruit. Not "where" you get your good fuit from. Josh B)

Oh, cool B) Is it in the D&C? Josh B)

Nope, This is contrasting the difference between the Old Covenant (law of Moses) and the New Covenant (Jesus) Josh B)

We don't claim to have living prophets................ :) Josh B) No, I dissagree we were obviously not taking about the LDS Since the subject is "Christian religions" not "LDS" my saying "we" would be approprite. Yup, Hebrews 8 Hebrews 8 The High Priest of a New Covenant 1The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. 3Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. 4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. 5They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."[a] 6But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. 7For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8But God found fault with the people and said: "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. 10This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."[c] 13By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. Josh B)

Why hasn't the Old Testament been updated by the Christian religions? We don't claim to have living prophets................ :) Josh B)

that's the smiley I was looking for! Josh B)

The only way cottage cheese would taste good is if you deep-fry it, and dip it in chocolate! Josh B)

How about an angel appering to you? and what about all the other evil in the world? How can evil be good? It's an oxymoron. Josh B)

I love it myself! (my mon is a big fan of cottage cheese ) Josh B) I LOVE cottage cheese... but that is ALSO SUPER bad for me.. I eat it anyway. You LIKE cottage cheese?!! Josh B)

I love it myself! (my mon is a big fan of cottage cheese ) Josh B)

Do you eat meat in the summer? Josh B)

OH! I GET IT! THANK YOU! No problem! :) Josh B)
