You ‘assumed’ that I cared what effect the foolishness would have on my ancestors. You ‘assumed’ that I would be only focused upon the rituals, etc. BTW, you used ‘mumbo jumbo’ in such a way to subtract ‘the reasonable’ not add to it. Pretending that your use of ‘mumbo jumbo’ and my characterization of ‘foolishness’ are aimed in the same direction is deceptive, but not inscrutable.

I guess is should not have assumed that some consider this as an obscure ritual.

I guess you can ‘assume’ any fantasy you choose.

Wow, that is one of the nuttiest things I have ever read. I am open to the Catholic-Protestant debate over what that passage means, but your interpretation is simply loony tunes.

A question. Why is it so important that we use non-LDS sites to answer the question? Those critics of the LDS church use non-LDS sites all of the time and never go to the source (lds.org and other sites.) If I want to learn about something I go to the source of information itself, not a site that is totally against it.

By that logic, when you are critiquing Obama do you only use information from his campaign website, Democratic Underground, or DailyKos?

"... fact that other Biblical authors taught an inevitable apostasy."

Your entire argument is based on the false premise of a total apostasy foretold.

Please cite chapter and verse to support your claim. No scribblings from the LDS church can be taken into consideration as you yourself said "Biblical authors."

nor any intermediary necessary besides Christ.

Amen.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by me." John 14:6.

And yet J. Smith claimed he was superior to Jesus:

"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet" (History of the Church, Vol. 6, pp. 408, 409).

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

“And this, coming from a guy who can’t even answer questions on the Trinity? You’re a funny guy AMPU. Wish I had time to answer you & Godzilla, but I’m getting ready for a great weekend. Have a great one guys”

Please allow me to fix it for you...

“And this, coming from a guy who isn’t willing to spend time with a rabid mormonism defender who wants to slander God’s character by eliminating the Trinity? You’re a funny guy AMPU [thank you]. Wish I had time to answer you & Godzilla, but I’m getting ready for a great weekend. Have a great one guys”

Further examination of the word "rock" is necessary to learn that God's message is often much greater than a narrow, legalistic definition is.

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears." Psalm 18:2-6
