I am beinging to think you are deliberatly trying to confuse me... :) I said: God can't lie You said: he could, but he wouldn't I quoted: "it is immpossible for God to lie" You said: "He can't lie if He wants us back home with Him..." I said: What does that mean? You said: "That it goes against His whole plan. As if I would follow a lying God! Would you?" A. God can't lie B. God could lie, but he never would. C. Other Josh B)

Acually, I think I may have heard a loud shriek a couple of minutes ago that could have come all the way from Canada... Why don't you, using the Bible and what ever dictionary you like, prove that "the whole bible contradicts itself" Or, you could admit you were wrong..... Josh B)

you're just plain LDS (assuming you believe Brigham Young was a Prophet of God) Josh B) Which one is just plain LDS? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS-SLC) "NVM JOSH!" ?

What does that mean exactly? Josh

Shall we use the Hebrew/Greek translation then? B) (I have one) Josh B) ...... arrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggg I sense fustration ....I don't know why since I am the one waiting for you to prove "The Whole Bible" contradicts itself. Josh B)

Shall we use the Hebrew/Greek translation then? B) (I have one) Josh B)

Can God lie? Josh B) Difference between CAN/CAN NOT and DOESN'T (spelt correctly ofcourse!). Of course there is....but I say He "can't" lie "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:" Hebrews 6:18 Josh B)

I wasn't aware the LDS published a dictionary...how about dictionary.com? Josh B)

I say that if we both use the same dictionary, then one thing can be proved false, and one thing proved true. Josh B)

you're just plain LDS (assuming you believe Brigham Young was a Prophet of God) Josh B)

Battleground Analysis Congratulations! You have been awarded the TPM medal of distinction! This is our second highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground. The fact that you progressed through this activity being hit only once and biting very few bullets suggests that your beliefs about God are well thought out and almost entirely internally consistent. The direct hit you suffered occurred because one set of your answers implied a logical contradiction. The bitten bullets occurred because you responded in ways that required that you held views that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. At the bottom of this page, we have reproduced the analyses of your direct hit and bitten bullets. Because you only suffered one direct hit and bit very few bullets, you qualify for our second highest award. A good achievement! Josh B) Can God lie? Josh B)

Well...that really dosn't address my question...but, why don't we let it go? why don't you show me how the "Whole Bible" contradicts itself now. Josh B)

Desiré, was God once a man? did he once have a God? It's amazing. I have been a member for a year, and you are asking me things that people don't even figure out until they get endowed. lol Ask someone else... LH is kind og confusing though...... I believe he has a body though! I'm afriad I don't understand you.... Are you are saying: (1) "I don't know how many gods there are, ask someone else" (2) There IS ONLY ONE GOD (3) Other Josh B)

Desiré, was God once a man? did he once have a God? Oh no! prehaps I am beginging to understand you because I am becoming confusing myself! no hury...take you time :) Josh B)

I can't help it!!! :) How? please "prove" something else. I'm saying...somewhere, sometime, someone, "sinned" (1) From what I know of LDS Theology, God the Father was once a man like us, He had a "god" as did His "god" before Him. thus....there do exist more than one god (also I am under the impression that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are considered "Gods" in there own right...could be wrong on that point though...) Josh B)

I keep trying to vote, but I get an error ":You did not choose a poll choice to vote against. Please go back and ensure you click on one of the radio buttons next to the choice you wish to vote for" Josh B)

Americans are informed of the dangers...prehaps we are just not as paronoid as say... someone who thinks these towers are used for "mind control" or *laughs to self* to "repel imminent invasion" Are you not an American citizen? Josh B)

Ok, you can't mean "anything" in the Bible can be proved different: (1) There is at least one God Mark 12:29 29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. (2) Humans have sinned in the past. John 8:34 34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. (3) Jesus is the Son of God. Luke3:22 22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” So, I am going to give you the benift of the doubt and assume you were refering to "Prodestant Theology" and not the "Whole Bible" (of course you did say "The Whole Bible"): So... (1) We are saved by grace through faith, apart from the works of the law. 1. (Ephesians 2:8-9) - "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, that no one should boast." 2. (Rom. 3:20,28) - "because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin...28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law." 3. (Galatians 2:16) - "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified." (2) There is only one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4) - "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!" (Isaiah 43:10) - ". . . Before Me [YHWH] there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me." (Isaiah 44:6) - ". . . there is no God besides Me." (Isaiah 44:8) - ". . . And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none." Best of Luck! :) Josh B)

It's not that the Bible really contradicts itself, it's that Protestant Christianity allows for various contradictory interpretations. Methodists and Presbyterians disagree about what the Bible says about predestination, for example. This problem scandalized Joseph Smith, leading to his famous, "Which of them is correct, which church should I join?" question. In Protestantism we "agree to disagree." In the COJCLDS you don't have to. There is one authoritative voice. So, you look at Protestants, with our differing opinions about Scripture, and say, "See, the Bible is contradictory." In reality, we people are. Our solution--sloppier than yours--is to determine what teachings are essential, and to seek fellowship with other churches that hold those core truths in common. She didn't say, "other churches interpretation of the Bible is contradictory" she said "The Whole Bible" contradicts itself. Josh B) Since this seems to be true, I wonder why the D&C is held up as being "scripture" in the same way the Bible and the BoM are.... Josh B)

I have to agree with Shaka, if "image" and "likeness" referfered to the "character" and "morals" of God, then Adam and Eve would have known Good from Evil. I think it refers to humans haveing a spirit and being self-aware Josh B)

Good night! :) I'll be waiting for you answer! Josh B)

*gasp! she's discovered our plans* Hold that thought for a second... Ok...only one thing to do... Josh

Hello :) Please be specific...what in the Bible contridicts itself? thanks, Josh B)

Thank you Puska, very informative :) makes a lot more sense than "mind control" devices But...how to we know that the aliens aren't controling you mind already!! Josh B)

As I said... I don't believe the OT contradicts with the NT...do you? Josh B)
