It would appear that the Bible is contradicting itself.  But then why would God make a statement in Corinthians which forbids single person visitations and then violate that time and time again.

My problem is not the Divine manifesting to man.  It's manifesting to man in opposition to Corinthians, ie "two or three witnesses".   And also the Divine manifesting Himself to individuals as a burning in the bosom to authenticate events like Divine Appearance to just one person in the woods with no second witness.  And yet God said in the Bible He is not the author of confusion.

That's why I was thinking as well, I like the whole Jim Jones, David Koresh approach to faith.  Throw logic and caution completely out the window.  Because obviously Koresh and Jones have brought many people to Christ.

Thanks, it troubles that I don't really like what other churches are doing in condemning LDS doctrine.  Yet they don't have a problem with Jesus appearing to the Apostles after His resurrection, which also seems to conflict the warnings about private meetings.  I also would like to be able to approach LDS doctrine rationally without throwing logic out the window.
