Jeny Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I just found a link to an inspired version of the Bible...What do you guys think of this?http://www.centerplace.org/hs/iv/default.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 It is a site from the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I suppose their online version should be ok, but we may want to compare with the official version by the Mormon Church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeny Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm still kind of new to all the ins and outs of church history, so I don't know much about the rlds...but I like that link...now I can compare them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of debate that happens on that board, and discussions can get rather heated.There are so many people who have tried to pass themselves off as trolls on that board that the apologists grow weary fast. They can bite the head off of a newbie without realizing that they are asking a sincere question.This board seems a little more "newbie friendly" as far as discussion goes.

Giuseppe Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yes, this is more "newbie friendly" as far as discussion goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeny Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 We are Newbie friendly...but please try to understand, I am not excusing the actions of the mods on that other board...but there are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing out here in computer land...and it gets frustrating to those of us who love this gosple and are sick of people who are just out here to tear down the things we hold sacred....please give us a chance to answer your questions and welcome you into our fold. We are striving to have a good, clean, fun, and friendly site here for members and investigators, and friendly non-members alike...we are NOT interested in people who only wish to cause strife and contention...this site is a place for fellowship and honest answers to honest questions.

Guest Purple Smidgen Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi! I'm new here! I just heard about this site by that thread in the ldstalk site...I am interested in Mormonism, but I admit that I don't know much...I had some missionaries come to my door this week and I let them in...they seemed nice, but vacuum salesmen seem nice too!! I'm curious, but cautious...I have tons of questions!! I am not here to cause trouble...but I don't know where to begin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeny Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Just start by asking the questions in your heart. If you are truly interested in learning and not up here as a troll, you will find us friendly and helpful. Ask away, my friend! And welcome aboard!!/smile.gifAlso...check out the official church web site: http://www.lds.org/portal/site/LDSOrg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I would suggest another site also: www.mormon.org or www.mormonwiki.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Purple Smidgen Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thank you for those links guys! I already had the official website one, I have been checking it out. I love the audio books and scriptures option!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeny Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I do too!!! I just bought myself an MP3 player, but I can't get it to work with my computer...I think it is because of my windows vista...that software is not compatible and it is beyond frustrating to me as I want to down load all those mp3 files up there on the official web site...can anyone here help me figure out hoe to do it? I am new to computers, and even newer to mp3 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weaver Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I found that if I stay with what the Prophet has told us then I do fine. I am speaking of reading the 'Bible version' off of the Reorganized Church. We have been instructed to read the King James Version of the Bible. Why? Because that is what the Prophet instructs - in otherwards, what the Lord instructs. We must always remember Article of Faith #8 "We believe the bible to be the word of God AS FAR AS IT IS TRANSLATED CORRECTLY..." It's not to say that there aren't any mistakes, it's just that it is the most correct book. When we stay on the track the Lord has laid out, our lives are much happier and more content.

Jeff Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 For people who are not as yet members of the LDS and are investigating as i was (i'm getting baptized on December 29th) , a very good site i would recommend to you is WWW.LDS4U.COM.

ztodd Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Be careful though- it sounds like the author has had some bad experiences.. some of his articles sound a bit negative. I would almost say that his underlying theme or purpose is to lead people away from the church. That's just my view of it after the few articles I've read. He has a couple good points starting out on his "this is the place" page, and he does claim to not be an "anti-site", but he also admits that he has "been criticized for not always being dispassionate when I share my thoughts on the various issues". It's true that he clearly shows his opinions and points of view in his articles. He admits his site is not an official source of information about the church - I'm glad for that. The site is definitely not a neutral investigator's guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
