A religion history lesson needed

[mrcrow]

Why isn't every religious person a mormon?

Surely if god, Jesus and an angel appeared in 'person' just two hundred years ago - to an English speaking person - that must be more reliable, believable and followable than two thousand year old accounts - or fifteen hundred year old accounts from another branch.

they use a "different" bible and have loads of fun with their wives and regarding their translation
"Scholarly reference works on languages do not, however, acknowledge the existence of either a "reformed Egyptian" language or "reformed Egyptian" script as it has been described in Mormon belief. No archaeological, linguistic, or other evidence of the use of Egyptian writing in ancient America has been discovered"
except...ermmmm???
wikipedia

2 Timothy 3 King James Version (KJV)
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Sums you up.

 

[mrcrow]

Sums you up.

you are a saint...
a brilliant rhetorical answer devoid of any truth

 

[ban-all-sheds]

its not wrong ,its simple truth.

No, it is simply wrong.

What you claim is "evidence" does not meet with any definition of the word. It is just another facet of your irrational evidence-free beliefs.

but they know that's something is behind it, that made the tv, generator, even if they mistakingly think its by magic.

Or mistakenly think, because they don't understand it, that it must be a god behind it.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

who made the elements,materials for the teapot.

Why does there have to have been anybody?

there is a warning in the bible about people saying that an angel appeared to them, and starts changing the gospel message.

Galations 1:8

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!

well something was behind it, does a tv appear out of now were, did a building build it self. or did it accidentally happen, we know by common sense that its made by someone. logical.
you see a classic car, its 90 years old, the manufacturer is gone, the car makers have passed, the only evidence of it being made is paper work and the car it self. so are you going to say the car was not made, by anyone, because I cannot see who made it.

That's handy.
Does that mean there can never be an update as no one will ever be believed?

You don't believe Joseph Smith saw god, Jesus and an angel, then? It is written that he did.
Lots of people do believe it. Where did the golden plates come from?



What's the difference between those writings and the ones you keep quoting?

Perhaps an earlier god that you don't know about wrote a similar thing - so you could be under his curse.

How would you know?

yes paul and the apostles knew that satan would try the angel of light trick, knowing that he is capable of it. mohammed got the same treatment. he got conned by an angel.

2 Corinthians 14

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

have a great 8 days.

God bless

Did you add an uneccessary, repeated letter.....

I live close to East Grinstead and Forest row. The meridian line goes through them, which I dont if its the reason or not but the UK head of the Mormon churchnis near EG, so if the Scientology church and Forest Row is a centre for anthropocophy and has a Rudolf Steiner school and arts centre.

Anyway, the Mormon church used to convert people posthumously to the Mormon faith and they held the large numbers of parish records -people interested in tracing their ancestors used to go to the Mormon library to gather info.

Did you add an uneccessary, repeated letter.....

I don't think so.


It's unnecessary.

Easy to remember -
Adding 'un' to 'necessary', and
very few words in English with double 'c' and lots with double 's'.
