Islander Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 My apologies if anyone took offense. However, I do maintain that it was a "copy and paste job." The inquiry was verbatim from other sites. Maybe his intent was not to argue and antagonize and if I jumped to that conclusion prematurely I apologize. I just have very little time to argue with those that make of it a sport. Look forward to contribute and share in the right spirit. Inquiry is of God and I will honor all that truly seek to know the truth with full intent.
Guest User-Removed Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 He asked an honest question, got honest answers and is considering them, isn't that one of the main goals of having a forum like this?I stand by my post...you may enjoy mollycoddling those who would.....Oh...it's a waste of my time to go on...believe what you will...it's your agency and your soul....
Guest User-Removed Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 That was not an honest question. That was a well rehearsed, extensively debated and highly contentious argument. I have been looking at these forums long enough to spot a "copy and paste job" from somebody whose ONLY intention is mto bait people into a debate.When I have a question I research the issue on my own. I read the available sources and information and I make up my mind about it without going to a place where ALL would have to go to the SAME sources I just visited in order to engage. He is citing dozens of sources in the post. Whether he actually read and research them all is a different story.In summary; plural marriage is a subject and doctrine that IS NO LONGER taught in the church. Marriage and divorce and marriage is not polygamy. Otherwise 50% of the US population has to be considered polygamist. The subject has no baring in our current lives, is not relevant to living the Gospel and the covenants of the kingdom as they have been revealed for us now in these last days. We should just move on to a more constructive and spiritually edifying subject.Thank You...Islander...you are a brave soul and one who stands up for the gospel many draw near with their tongues...but are far from their hearts...Your comments IMHO are dead bang right on...BRAVO!!!!
Guest User-Removed Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I'm no stranger to forums either, and I would think that if the OP were a troll, he would be continuing to further the debate, rather than thanking people for their responses that differ from his original opinion. As far as I can tell, the only trolls here are the ones who insist on calling him a "wolf in sheeps clothing."I agree that this thread has served its purpose and we don't need to dwell on it, but that includes speculation on the OP's motives.:roflmbo: Being called a Troll, by the likes of you...Is like being called ugly by a frog...:roflmbo:I'll wear it like a Red Badge of Honor....

skalenfehl Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Hemi...excellent question...seeing how the post your responded to is almost verbatim taken from anti LDS websites.I'm always amazed at how folks who claim to hav had little to no contact with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints...are somehow "instant Doctrinal Experts"...MDS, from now on, if you can show the "anti" source that the OP's may take such posts from, please do so that a thread may immediately be locked. It is much easier to douse a small flame rather than to fan it and make it worse. Yet another thread that will be locked to prevent further contention. In the future, please pick your battles more justly and wisely. Edited July 5, 2008 by skalenfehl
