First Council of Nicaea

Ah yes, the more words make the argument stronger game. You are delusional if you actually believe that books were not discarded by the Council. One of the reasons to have the council was to straighten out some fractures in dogma. Hence we have countless books that were left out of the Bible. Not saying it is right or wrong, just that certain things that did not comply with the message the Council wanted to send were discarded... very understandable.

“Still murmuring I see...”

Mormon Member Instructions:

Note: you are all required to use the
exact language the leadership denotes:
This month it is “YAMMERING”

In addition, we would like to see
additional whining and describing
those who criticize us as “anti-mormon”

Describe their arguments as “murmuring”
and their arguments as “already addressed”.

Remember, once we have spoken, the
thinking is done! Your job is to
support your leadership and obey -
quickly.

Special shout out to Restornu, who is
posting on the anti-mormon site, FreeRepublic.
She continues to post the official words
regularly, being an example for us all.

She yammers constantly. Just kidding. A bit
of mormon leader humor there!

Carry on members,

Mormonic High Priest

So, instead, you follow the works of another man, just like Mohammed of the mooselimbs, that wanted sex with children and many women and so he created a religion stating God gave him secrets to tell the world.

I’ll take the Bible at its word and not take the word of just another wackjob man looking to scam women and children into taking off their clothes. Next thing you know you will be tell us David Koresh of Waco really was Jesus Christ and we need to follow his words.

Mormons are not Christians. They are a religion to themselves. Christians follow Christ and the Bible. We don’t need Joseph Smith rewriting things to suit his earthly desires, just like Mad Mo did.

I find resty’s thread humorous. In one fell blow, she shatters lds arguements against Nicea and shows just what blathering idiots the morg apologists are.

A bunch of Mormons just blew up a Catholic Church in the near East ... killed 52 people including 3 ordained ministers.

No ...

Wait ...

It wasn't Mormons ...

It seems to me then, that the ban on pork should only be a temporary thing. And that a ban on beef should be enforced when attempting to chritianize the hindus.

Why don’t you just sum it up in your own words, for those of us with short attention spans?

So, Resty, at first glance, you're taking stuff that was originally mentioned in Islam and Atheist forums? Is that right?

Secondly, is that a Muslim name...Laulak Siddique...posting in that Muslim forum...??

And if so, do they want their e-mail -- trumpeted nationwide by you? [I'll assume for the second that the second e-mail shown, a college student e-mail address, is probably no longer active given it was a 2001 reference]

Did you e-mail Siddique at Resty, to see if they would give you permission to do that?

And with the other one, KSchneid -- you want to at least double-check to make sure that e-mail is not active -- or if it is, you wanna see if you can snag permission before you blast their e-mail address world-wide?

Yes? No? You don't care?

(And if it's "You don't care"...let's see if you'll do unto others as you would want done for yourself by posting your own e-mail address on this thread)

From Restornu's post #6: Finally there followed the prescription of twenty canons or rules of discipline: (1) prohibition of self-castration;

Resty, was this the real reason you posted all of this stuff? So that you could slyly encourage us to get into a discussion on the pros and cons of self-castration?

Alright. I'll bite. I'll be the first to comment on it: I'm against it.

Resty, could you elaborate upon your position on this?

OK...some of you may be against self-castration, but how do you feel about Lorena Bobbitt types of castration?

Resty...what about you? What's your theological position on this?
