Oh they knew. They called them dragons back then. But hey, we shouldn't believe them should we, we didn't have "empirical" science back then...
-
And, if you asked humanity 500 years ago about dinosaurs being extinct for millions of years they would laugh to death. They made them extinct. Oh the frailties of man

I would debate the "empirical" part of that. It's more correct to say that it is "the leading opinion" of scientists...
-
It's amazing the great lengths we go to explain the record of the earth in light of secularist understanding when we have a written record of what really happened. All we have to do is believe.

Aye. The reference, clarified in the Pearl of Great Price in Moses states that those who joined and covenented with God were called "the sons of God". The daughters of men was in reference to marrying outside the covenant fold of God.

The sons of Adam married the daughters of Adam.

Carbon dating is a farce

Maybe so, but, maybe not.

Ask this generation. I find a strong correlation with divorce and selfishness.
-
I point is that 'in general" the rising generation of today who want separate bank accounts is due primarily to the shift in not trusting each other or a lack of seeing each other as equal or "one".

In general...

Hum...the words "polar opposites"...

It's not a one size fits all. I said "generally".

God's Motivation and other Lost Boy Questions
Rob Osborn replied to Lost Boy's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
Kind of asking the wrong question. Why do we love our children? Why do we serve our children? Why do we sacrifice for our children? Because of love. That is the glory and it's the same for God. -
I think it even extends to things like car titles, proprty deeds and house loans, etc. I guess Im sonewhat from the older generation way of marriage philosophy where once married pretty much all things become equal ownership.
-
Couples who enter into and keep separate bank accounts is usually a sign of lack of trust and seeing their relationship input equally.
-
From what I have witnessed its a general fact
-
Generally speaking, what I am saying is all true.

In my own family- a sister who has never married. Another sister who was married in the temple, had 11 children, now going through a messy divorce. A son who got married in the temple, now going through beginning stages of separation and divorce. A brother who also got married in the temple, still happily married. Myself, married outside the temple, later got sealed, still happily married. Another brother who fell away from the church and got married, still happily married. From what I can gather just within my own family- temple marriage guarantees nothing as far as compatibility and staying together. So then, what is it really? This is why it bothers me when people demand to find a spouse who meets their checklist of religious ideals as the first critria. My son's friends are in that same boat- about half of his friends are now either divorced or separated who are or were LDS. We must change the mindset.

Generally speaking, putting ones marriage first over worldly selfishness leads to a long and lasting marriage of true love. Separate bank accounts is generally a sign that the husband and wife aren't truly "one".
-
What are you getting at?
-
We talking about different things.
-
They may love each other in one degree or another but I have found that if they can't truly share alike then they love the world more than their spose and it isn't gonna work.
-
Look, I'm not gonna debate this nitpicking crap. We know what love is.
-
Well, its not quite so. Atheists fall in love with each other all the time. When I fell in love with my wife I was inactive and at that time hated tge LDS church, didnt want much to do with God, etc. To truly love each other means one is willing to conform to anothers wishes and desires and make great sacrifices for their relationship. It means they view their love for each other above all worldliness, that they are together and thats all that matters. Now I see couples get married who have to have their own "me time" and insist on separate bank accounts and whats theirs and whats not. They are in love with the world, not each other.
