language of the world is an earthly tool which is limited just like words to music, but Music is like hearing the language of heaven which is beyond this realm.

Yeah, I was afraid you might go all kinds of post modern on me.

Too bad there are no real Mormons left who would argue their points. Thirty years ago there might have been some perhaps heated discussion, prior to the retreat from the banning of black elders. When the church crumbles in the face of public opinion it must be really embarrassing. What does Jesus say about that? I bet He didn’t suggest caving even in the Joseph Smith interpretation.

Where did the men go in the Mormon Church? Brigham Young would never allow his church to bend the knee without bloodshed. He had some grit and guts and would get in anyones face to challenge them. Joseph Smith would argue that HIS bible was the real bible, and that what we have is the apostate remains. Heck, he died with a gun in his hand. Got to give the guy credit for that, (even if perhaps that alone.) Did all the men go to those LDS offshoots?

But there is no one that stands for anything in the LDS anymore. I think it is because the Mormon church really knows there is no toe, much less a foot to stand on factually, and always has to fall back to the “my feelings tell me” defense. And that must be so satisfying to run from every hill and front. I really wish more Mormons would fight. Instead, we must expect the Mormons to crumble instead of continuing to fight beside the Christians for moral issues, when the fight gets really tough. How long before they abandon the barricades in California? If and when the church starts to get taxed?

The modern Mormon church was feminized and probably will never recover. A worthy foe falls to post modernism. Alas!
