@DoBetter_ The doctrine is what matters. Details that aren’t actually in the Bible don’t worry me at all. This detail doesn’t change doctrine or the teachings of Christ.

@Bearded_Lion2 So you disagree with Rasband's talk? Since he taught without any caveats or specifying it as his opinion, does that make all his teachings unreliable?

How many LDS/Mormons are willing to defend the stance that the continents didn't divide until the Biblical flood?
If you don't, how can you trust anything "apostles" say when they are so flippant about spouting such nonsense without making it clear it's their opinion?

@BrettWCain @orsonscottcard What a compliment! You should have had him write it on your paper and sign it. For me it’d be framed on the wall.

I love @orsonscottcard. When I was in college, he graciously visited my school and critiqued the work of several creative writing students, including mine.
I’ll never forget what he said.
He indicated my opening line and said, and I quote, “this is is shit”.

The year is 1985. It hasn’t rained a drop in Ethiopia for over a year.
In a morning meeting, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, M Russell Ballard, invokes the very elements by the power of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood.
There’s a torrential downpour later that afternoon.

Share if you agree that the Senate shouldn’t take its August recess until it has passed the SAVE America Act.
Rick Scott@SenRickScott
The Senate has only been in session about 40% of the time this year so far, and there is a lot more to get done. Hardworking Americans work 5 days a week, and the people who represent them should too. We should not leave here until we pass EVERY single piece of legislation that we need — especially the SAVE America Act.

@DoBetter_ @LoganMPierce1 Well in my case not exactly. To keep it brief. I died. Not going to share those details. Suffice it to say

@Bearded_Lion2 @LoganMPierce1 So more unfalsifiable, feelings based epistemology, basically relying on a no true scotsman type falacy.
Gotcha.

I presuppose the BoM is true and demand that you do as well. You may not demand evidence. If you question it, you are the problem.

Sigh...Muslims could use the same exact arguments for the Koran.

“The Book of Mormon is not on trial. We are the ones on trial, being tested by our acceptance or rejection of its truths, teachings, commandments, and declarations.” —Robert E. Wells, Our Message to the World, October 1995 We’re not being tested “by our acceptance or rejection of its historical narrative” or “by our acceptance or rejection of its publishers.” We’re being tried upon its doctrine—upon the absolute and eternal truths given by Jesus Christ Himself to a civilization that departed from Jerusalem. They were some of His “other sheep … which are not of this fold” (John 10:16). When you read the Book of Mormon, you become accountable before God for the truth He gave you. Once you know it, you’re morally obligated to abide by it—because you know what you know. Of course, that’s a difficult thing to accept. Following Jesus Christ wherever He leads you is a very demanding proposition, especially if the goal (as human nature follows) is a softer discipleship with a little space reserved for favorite sins. But if you are ready to level-up in your Christian discipleship, test your metal against the touchstone of the Book of Mormon—not to determine its gold, but to find and refine your own. Truth declares itself. And then it reveals the truth about you.

@FleabagMoroni @RadioactiveIM3 @Lew541207 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS It’s already happened. In Idaho, I’m not sure about Utah. Not that Trump did it but the governor of Idaho was certainly involved.

@RadioactiveIM3 @Lew541207 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS Trump isn’t selling our land to China ma’am, where did you hear that?
English
Dear President @realDonaldTrump @POTUS ,
Rather than destroy our national parks in Utah, seize all china owned farmland (pay them a very modest sum for it) and do your thing there.
Leave the National Parks alone. Pristine wilderness is meant to remain that way. Not everything has to be drilled or built .

@RadioactiveIM3 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS Bears ears and grand staircase should be smaller. The antiquities act specifically says monuments should be the smallest area able to be well maintained. AND china should not be allowed to purchase land or property in America.

@IslandPark2023 I saw that pop up yesterday. We canceled our subscription but someone subscribed. I’m so old I remember a ton of episodes. Good stuff!

@jesse_k_fox Without a doubt. But they’ve moved on to things they can’t prove. And soon because they just as antis before them point out a niche in the temple will come to realize it’s a really big niche that a new invention can fit into called an elevator. Then they’ll want to ignore it

Modern-day critics shouldn't feel so sanguine about supposed anachronisms in the Book of Mormon. The trend is not their friend. Archeological findings from the past 2 centuries have been brutal for them. They're swimming in a pool that's shrinking every single year.
English
@DoBetter_ @LoganMPierce1 To a T they all said the same thing. I thought I was getting an answer from God until I actually got one. There is nothing like it, the experience that they had had before was a drop in a bucket compared to the ocean of fire that they got.
English
@DoBetter_ @LoganMPierce1 I cannot verify what others believe or feel. I can only testify of the veracity of what I have been taught by God. As far as others getting spiritual experiences. There were way too many who I taught the gospel to who converted and shared the real difference in spiritual witness
English
@jesse_k_fox It depends greatly on if your family has women that work outside the home. How my mother handled teaching and how my wife handled teaching about the gospel were very different. It’s like homeschooling vs regular schooling
English
“Mothers have often been thought of as the spiritual anchors in the home.”
This has not been my experience. Apparently Jasmin thinks this. Do others? To me this sounds odd. If anything, the father and mother are a united spiritual anchors.
Perhaps this is one reason I’m so optimistic about the future of the priesthood and the young men. Because I’ve had strong priesthood holders as examples in my life.
Jasmin Rappleye@JasminRappleye
One of the greatest predictors of a child staying in the faith, is if their father is also religious, not only their mother. Mothers have are seen as the spiritual anchors of a home. But that very dynamic may be why a dad’s religious participation can be such a game changer.
English
@DoBetter_ @LoganMPierce1 I did the same and everything and He did answer and His evidence is superior to whatever “evidence” you do or don’t have. I do appreciate your service to the people of those you taught. I’m sure there are converts who are still faithful to their witness to the truth.
