Fether

I guess I don’t remember that scene

My feelings about the movie almost exactly. I hated the “girl power” scene in End Game, utterly ridiculous. Only difference for me is that I was totally ok with Marvel (or mar-vel ) being derived from the more recent female Captain Marvel comics

The majority of the events in the movie takes place over two or three days. I would find it every difficult to see such a drastic change in personality I’m such a short time. What she does learn is that her country she was fighting for had been lying to her and using her. She then leaves and turns against them. Jump to End Game and the little we did see of her suggests to me that some major growth had been made. She still held her over confidence (which later she was set straight by Thanos) , but she didn’t seem as careless and self centered like she did in Captain Marvel.

No where in the movie does she present herself to be a hero. That doesn’t happen until End Game. She is a super soldier fighting in a war and finds herself in a primitive planet. Her arch doesn’t even have anything to do with becoming a hero, it’s about her separation from the army she is a part of. Becoming a protector on earth and the galaxy doesn’t come till after the movie ends when she goes off to war the Kree and protect other worlds (as she mentions in End Game) And she wasn’t an amoral killing machine. She was a careless soldier hunting down terrorists on a primitive planet.

M 🤷🏻‍♂️ I may eat my words but I bet Captain Marvel will turn out to be a fantastic hero worth looking up to. I like to think that the few days the movie takes place during will be like all the other first few days of the super heros. Flawed but not defining

She was essentially raised as a super soldier by a egotistic alien race and is sent to hunt down a group of aliens they are at war with. Later in the movie she finds out they had been lying to her to whole time and the alien race she is hunting is a bunch of refugees trying to escape the Kree (the aliens she was raised by). This scene takes place during her hunt of the aliens.

*spoiler* She has a device on her neck that she thinks is giving her powers, but it is really hindering them. She doesn’t fly till she takes it off.

Beat me to it. I could easily show the early scene in iron man of Tony Stark with the reporter in bed and say “these are the heroes today??” Though I don’t like Bre Larson, I don’t have too many qualms with Captain Marvel as a whole.

I wouldn’t do it

Not sure, but I have found that the loudest people in the temple tend to be the temple/ordinance workers and patrons.

Ah crap... I’m already at the bottom of the woke chain, being a Straight white Christian republican carnivore pro-gun pro-life male...add polyester wearing to that list and what do I have left?

Fallen for thins one a few times have you?

Ya, definitely English.

Oh thank goodness!

I have this very real fear that my knowledge, understanding of, and enjoyment for temple and family history will doom me to an eternity in the family history center. I’m in my early twenties and am in charge of the family history of my ward and am convinced I’m the only one that has ever opened familysearch.com (or at least prior to the implementing of the ward temple and family history plan).

A natural response to this scripture would be: me: well... is what your saying true? Alma: Yes Me: How do you know? Alma: I don’t, I just told you, you can’t have perfect knowledge, I have faith it is true. Me: Well how do you know you have faith if you don’t know it is true, you only have faith that it is true. And you can’t even confirm THAT is faith cause as you said, you can’t know for a certainty it is true? I feel like the scripture is just begging the question.

Alma 32:21 says “And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.” This has always seemed strange and paradoxical to me. to my understanding, this his scripture is saying: - Faith must be something that is true. - Faith is to not have a perfect knowledge. So... you cannot know it is true. To me, this is similar to the following conversation: P1: ”The parachute chord will only save your life if this backpack is indeed a parachute bag. to survive this jump, you need to pull this parachute chord. .” P2: “Well... Is it a parachute bag?” P1: *shoves p2 out of airplane* I understand the concept of faith, I just feel this wording is a little strange.

This was a physical representation of how God expects us to be spiritually. The Law of Moses was introduced in a more literal and physical manner so that the Israelites would constantly remember Christ. Without it steep laws and specific requirements, they would forget their God and begin worshipping false idols (ie baal). The spiritual equivalent to this law would be more like “be pure in heart, repent of your sins and live righteously. Otherwise you can’t come into my temple”. Similarly, in the OT man was put to death for gathering sticks on the sabbath. The modern day equivalent is “you will spiritually die if you break the sabbath.”

You mean the delusion of calling the stuff you listen to “music”?

No

That's what it says. I'm guessing the Church has some agreement with Samsung that discounts the cost of service. And from an IT standpoint, it is easier if everyone has the same brand of phone. So the way it works is that the church has their own App Store of sorts (the name escapes me right now). I had an iPad on my mission and all the apps we were allowed to use were on this church made App Store. But recently Apple said “no more of this” to the church and so they had to switch the missionary force over to Samsung. as far as policy, the missionaries in my ward said their mission is starting to allow missionaries to bring out their own phones. And soon here there won’t just be a combo phone shared between them, but every missionary will have an individual phone.

Fantastic question. firstly, I would point to 1 Nephi 7:1 which reads: “it came to pass that the Lord spake unto [Lehi] again, saying that it was not meet for him, Lehi, that he should take his family into the wilderness alone; but that his sons should take daughters to wife, that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise.” this came two chapters (and potentially years before) chapter 9 where your quotation is placed. So Nephi new very well that a people was going to rise up upon the promised land, and he is probably wasn’t so naïve to think there would be no contention or wars. His statement you quote stands just fine. BUT additionally, had there been no reference of a people to be raised on the promised land prior to your quotation, there still would have been no issue. The Book of Mormon, and similarly the Bible, does not seek to prove itself with contextual fluidity. But rather speaks of God and asks the reader to pray and ask if it is true.

Well I will take it haha x)

I think every example of this unknown word is a platitude, but the word describes something beyond what platitude does. the word describes a platitude whose sole purpose is to deflect any effort to answer a question. It is both a platitude and an appeal to common sense/popularity. 'x word' is always a platitude, but a platitude is not always the 'x word' But so far this word has the closest definition to the word I am looking for. But I almost want a more specific word for what I am looking for. For example, the phrase "with all due respect" is a platitude but does not fit the word I'm looking for.

All these are good, but not what I’m looking for 😕 I am beginning to think that it was a specific logical fallacy.
