@DiscipleFidei Then why did Christ's apostles, following the *fulfillment* of the Mosaic law (*the resurrection*) continue to attend the temple daily? (Acts 2:46). Look also at Revelation 7:13-15

The Old Testament time is fulfilled. Temples are useless. Mormons build empty large and spacious buildings.

@Dexerto Supposedly it's only 6 months of prison ??

Johnny Somali has been found guilty of all charges in South Korea and has been sentenced to prison with labor

@Bar_tolmi @Jamo_12 Well there you go... so your whole argument is irrelevant

@Jamo_12 No.

Still waiting for the grand opening of the Nephite history museum... #BookofMormon

@johan1151951 Water 7/Enies Lobby. Masterful writing of a caliber I hadn't seen before, or since.

Without being biased, does one piece have any arc as good as Pains arc?

@Bar_tolmi Because like the First-century Christian believers who began believing in infant baptism despite no New Testament evidence of it, The people in the Book of Mormon also taught and practiced baptism spanning that same time period. The question of infant baptism likely arose

"First-century Christian baptism primarily involved adult believers, with no definitive New Testament evidence for infant baptism, though some suggest household baptisms may have included infants. Scholarly consensus holds that infant baptism emerged gradually from the late 2nd century, became widespread by the 3rd century, and was universal by the 4th-5th centuries, coexisting with believers' baptism (Acts of the Apostles 2:38–41) amid early debates." -wiki How does that align with the supposed timeline of the Book of Mormon?

Where is this additional truth?

@Bar_tolmi Take infant baptism, for example. The Bible doesn't explicitly condemn it, though it doesn't support it either. As a result, many Christian denominations are divided on this principle. The BoM provides us God's word on the matter in clear, unambiguous terms.

@Ptrickstar Thanks for the specific response. How does the Bible fit into all this?

@Salt_n_Smoke I recommend listing out all of the criteria you want in the biblical reference you are requiring. (That doesn't exist for any Christian princple contained in one passage btw). Otherwise you come off as closed minded and moving the goalpost constantly, like you are rn

Where is the laying on of hands? Where is the word priesthood? Or Aaronic? Or Melchizedek? All you are doing is taking verses and making it something it’s not. You are reading LDS theology into the text. In Mark 9:38,39 there’s a random dude casting out demons who the apostles don’t even know. He was r part of their group, the apostles thought they were the only ones with authority., wow, turns out it’s belief in Christ and the Holy Spirit that give authority… not some random gatekeeping Mormon

Jesus gave His ordained apostles *power* to literally do all the miracles the He has done, and to also minister as He did.

@Salt_n_Smoke And now that I provided the reference you initially asked for, you are now demanding more in-depth descriptions that are a 1 to 1 match with the restored truths of the priesthood. This is what I mean by you moving the goalpost.

@Salt_n_Smoke Bro. you're arguing against the LDS teaching of priesthood. And what is that? Our literal definition is the POWER & AUTHORITY of God. You've acknowledged the authority part *check*. The verse explicitly states He gave them power *check*...

@Salt_n_Smoke I get you disagree with our belief concerning priesthood in the modern day, but that wasn't the original dispute. You asked for a biblical reference of Christ ordaining priesthood to His apostles, and I have provided it. Don't run away from it now

@Salt_n_Smoke The symbolic physical reminders of ordinances are still required. Similar to how animal sacrifices prior to Christ were required, but are now done through the sacrament. The symbolism is the same...

@Salt_n_Smoke During the old covenant they functioned like a culmination of many priesthood offices. Unlike the priesthood offices instituted by Jesus later. (Eph. 4:11-12)

@Salt_n_Smoke Moving the goalpost are we? 😂 The bible describes "priests" specifically in the OT under the Mosaic law. They acted as the Israelites' representative for sin and repentance before God (similar to our Bishops. The presiding priest in a ward.)...

@stackerco Everything seems correct to me, except I might question #11, but I haven't looked into that idea myself

Believing LDS, do you believe everything Benson said in his 14 Fundamentals in Following the Prophet? If not, which one(s) do you disagree with and why?

@rickymontero @pimomormon @StarTether Uh, yes? I know that

@Ptrickstar @pimomormon @StarTether If your argument will be that it was only for covenant people, U know its been restored right?

.@StarTether did the meme

@stackerco @pimomormon @StarTether I'm thinking something like "Is it moral for God to require tithing" or even "should The Church keep tithing as a temple requirement." Something along those lines, but I'd be open to fleshing out the prompt a bit more

@Ptrickstar @pimomormon @StarTether What do you want to debate about it?

@Reeseforsure Because they're allowed to be wise stewards with their funds. They also have 0 debt. Why does that upset you, is the question
