Wow... so BY basically used the tithe-pool as his own personal piggy bank, and he was not alone in this. What does the historical record say about the end of this practice?

All I can say is that it is time disbelieving people repented and got in line and believed in a living, modern prophet.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostWow, Tex throwing down on Bruce R. McConkie!
Have we been commanded not to call a prophet an insular racist? Link?

Is it even possible for a disbelieving person to 'repent?'Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostComment

Because if I don't believe, the words, "God, please forgive me and let the atoning power of Jesus Christ work a miracle in my life," is as nonsensical a string of words as "Apple keys make table junk so dance green.' If I truly deeply sincerely disbelieve, the steps of repentance that require belief are the equivalent of gibberish.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostComment

This thread is exhibit A that Mormons aren't Christians. The New Testament says the people on welfare will be in the Kingdom of Heaven.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

This thread is more about defining Kingdom of Heaven than it is about discussing who is on welfare according to the New Testament.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment

Make up your mind, dude. First you are trashing Bruce Redd because his speculation caused damage to the faith of some, next you are quoting him, for no other reason than to come off victorious in a disagreement.Originally posted by Tex View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

You said you criticize speculation when it leads to conclusions that actually affect people's faith (for example, blacks in the pre-existence, the Catholic Church as the great and abominable, etc.). What are your criticisms of these speculations, specifically? I assume you, like the Church, do not endorse such viewpoints, of course.Originally posted by Tex View Post
My post was a Bruce R. McConkie quote, as well. I'm not surprised you missed it.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
