I love these mormon threads. I learn more and more each time.

I see the mormons are fighting back with another "closed" Devotional thread....

This ones is on 2 Nephi 25:20-28 and is presented in "The Skeptics Annotated Book of Mormon"

Here

Joseph Smith (or Nephi) repeats the bible stories about the fiery serpents (Num. 21:6-9) and the water-bearing rock (Ex.17:6, Num.20:11). He figures that if you believe those stories, you'll believe his as well.

... there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. -- Acts 4:12

KEY:

Plagiarism
Absurdities
Injustice
Intolerance
Cruelty and Violence
Prophecy
Science and History
Language
Family Values
Changes in the BoM
Women
Good Stuff
Interpretations
Contradictions
Homosexuality

Thank you for your revealing editorial additions to the column. I realize that you are vehemently anti-mormon and it shows.

Well, I'll go back to what I said in post #1 (& then add to it): From the article: In the very first moments of mentoring, Joseph Smith was given this stunning measure of the corrosion that awaited him: "... all their creeds were an abomination" in God's sight (Joseph Smith -- History 1:19). There was nothing moderate about this assessment.

The word "abomination" means "putrid." Have I ever said ALL Mormon creeds are "putrid?" (No) Yet Smith says that about every other church. And all true believing Mormons who tithe & give & pay for their sons to be missionaries push that as "scripture" worldwide.

That's about as "anti-Christian" as you can get.

I'm not against the Mormon -- for our fight isn't against flesh & blood. But I don't apologize for opposing the system of Mormonism.

Lately, all the anti-anti-Mormon comments have dwindled to argumentum ad hominem

The more I deal with the so-called Christians on FR, the more I understand abomination.
