Early Christian "Adam-God" Theory? Deification of Adam & Mormonism Explored!

do you have trouble posting in just one post? Ive read the journal of discourses, and it follows a pattern. Brigham Young was no revelator (but then again Joseph smith wasnt either, IMO). The pattern of BY's revelations is.... that he was a great colonizer, with some really backwood thinking on theology. I give him all the credit in the world for bringing the saints to utah and settling the roughest territory in the US, but I cant deny he thought adam was god, or at least did at one time. It wasnt corrected from a pretty clear statement he made, and apologists are NOT prophets. It shouldnt need as much explaining as your cut and paste job. Are you autistic?  (Thursday Jul 17 | post #16)

Mormons planning to build temple in Phoenix

So opposition is a sign of righteousness? Is that an eternal principle, or a overly simple observation?  (Saturday Jul 12 | post #95)

People are people. Liars are liars. Theives are theives. If you expect someone to be at a different standard because of the beliefs or organization he professes to be a part of, then, IMO you'll be disappointed alot.  (Saturday Jul 12 | post #94)

Joseph Smith's Arrest Records Found

He was defending himself. Joseph had been through alot, even though most of it was caused by himself, and a part of it was human nature. Most of it was his own making. Toward the end, joseph threw caution to the wind, and considering the environment of the time and his past screw ups, he pushed it too far and was killed. Its not in the brochure tho. LDS history has become pretty polished, unless youre an LDS apologist, then it not so smooth.  (Saturday Jul 12 | post #10)

Mormons to mark 30th anniversary of revelation on blacks

Thats awesome, but I still think a truly just and loving god would limit his priesthood, unless it was borne of mans outdated bias.  (Monday Jun 30 | post #255)

My mom is a weaver, she sells rugs. Shes a little firecracker, high energy woman who does it because she loves it. My wife goes up and helps her every year. Haha, my mom and brother bothed lived in the hamlets. I used to do their website a few years ago. Thats funny! small world ey? The house in heber was actually pretty awesome. we gutted it to the walls and noticed that the inside wall measurements and the outside wall measurement on one wall didnt add up, so we poked around and busted out one of the walls and found a 3 foot by 12 foot space, with an old newspaper, some old glasses and shoes and an old book of mormon in it. During the latter days of polygamy, it was a cohab hide out with a secret door to hide wives etc. 80 years old at the time. It was a pretty cool find. ITs in heber nearer the Heber valley railroad. You cant miss the house, it has a big, white wooden carved beehive on the roof I think. That was original to the house, my father got that from a demolition of a courthouse down in provo in the 70s. The house is still there. Id love to have a picture of that house if you ever find it.  (Monday Jun 30 | post #113)

I find it interesting that mormons use propoganda too. Who doesnt? You're not free from that. Theres several sides to the mormon issue and doctrine, you've chosen one and claim divinity. That to me, is interesting. I once thought exactly the same way.  (Monday Jun 30 | post #111)

Mormon Church Enters Calif. Gay Marriage Battle

im revolted by the thought of homosexual sex. Im also revolted by beets, miracle whip on a sandwich, girls with hairy armpits, and other things that If I don't do, do not effect me. Because you're revolted by something doesnt mean its wrong. Its just not for me. thats just life. Everyone is different. When you start trying to change someone else its you who has the problem.  (Monday Jun 30 | post #555)

WARNING: The two Fastest-Growing ‘Cults’ in U.S.

Church growth has slowed immensely. When he said that, the internet was in its infancy, and people did not have the information we have today. When I was on my mission, i didnt have to contend with google. Missionaries today do, and it costs them baptisms. Why did god take a break for 1400 years? I know the answer, but does that make sense to you? The world was so evil that it didnt deserve the truth? Why would God do that? EVERYONE was evil?  (Monday Jun 30 | post #56)
