I'm ALL ears, ladies and gents. I really am.
And now, if I may...I'd kinda like to address some seemingly fallacious scientific and philosophical posits that have been made.
Namely, that of matter being eternal. I'm not currently aware of any sound bodies of evidence to suggest matter is eternal.
Moreover, if a creator is not separate from his creation...my confidence in knowing what "creator" means begins to falter I suppose.
This is not meant to sound anti-Mormon or condescending in ANY way. But my thing is this: I have zero issues with the Mormon Church positing whatever it may about "God" or any facet of life now and life after, but why the incentive to appeal to Christianity, or the Bible as a "confirming source." Biblical Christianity and Mormonism are wildly different. Why not just say that, on the nose? "We believe this. It's an entirely separate thing, but we believe it." And that'd be fine. Most "anti-Mormon rhetoric is a result of Christians who say to themselves "that's not Scriptural and I feel convicted to not stand idly by while someone perpetuates a non-Christian theological worldview whilst claiming Christian foundations."
i hope none of that comes off nasty or arrogant. I think it's just valid and I worthy of discussion.
Hope you guys hear my heart in all of that.
