If one believes in mormonism and the teachings of modern prophets, I dont see how the answer can be anything but no. -
If one believes in Deity, I can see no other logical conclusion to this experience.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Originally posted by Maximus View PostI made the poll in light of the fact that there is much less discussion of this in SS lessons, etc. It seemed that GBH tried to publicly(manstream media) distance the church from this tenet. When I read his comments in the Time magazine article about 1996 or 97, I was kind of surprised by how the question about eternal progression was danced around. It seemed like the emphasis on eternal progression was reduced from that point forward.Originally posted by All-American View PostLast edited by Jarid in Cedar; 09-24-2009, 08:43 AM."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

I think the Church puts more emphasis on different aspects of LDS doctrine/story based upon how the decision makers view external influences. Situational based marketing more or less. I don't think that a change in what is emphasized means there has been a change in core beliefs.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostDo Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Do you think that this change had to do with try to "appear" more like mainstream Christianity?Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

I think that is sort of like canning the BCS or NC talk early in the season. There's a whole lot of football left to be played before we start talking about being crowned Gods.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
