Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

I would be interested, however, in understanding why drumdude, yourself, and others seem to have a problem with free will. Is there a correlation between having somewhat of an antipathy towards free will and being a non religionist? Do calvinists believe in free will? Just because something appears...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

I don't know. As of now I am not aware of anyone knowing. Believing that they know is quite widespread in today's world and it hasn't lossed its ability to infect politics, medical care and almost all religions. I think Carl Sagan captured it perfectly. It is possible to be bamboozled. The evidence...

What is doing the "willing" ? I suppose you would have to answer that question for yourself. Regards, MG I don't know. As of now I am not aware of anyone knowing.

Getting answers from prophets that speak only truth and have periscope abilities to see around corners has been reduced to the mundane. Where did the Book of Mormon take place? That battle was lost during the secret meetings of B.H. Roberts back in 1922. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&r...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Some people are more malleable than others because they seem to be predisposed to letting their minds travel the path of least resistance. We’re all prone to that. But after all is said and done we are responsible for our own decisions even as we receive constant input and influences from the outsi...

Nelson couldn't do it. He was filmed demonstrating how the rock in the hat worked but somewhere in his subterranean brain logic won the war. You can see it in his reflexes and facial expression as he abruptly put the hat down. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/video/2020-05-0290-the-book-of...

Re: Thomas Stuart Ferguson (May 21, 1915 – March 16, 1983)

In 1947 he wrote his first book, Cumorah—Where? arguing strongly for the Central American setting of the Book of Mormon." I often wonder why the church members just don't do a mail-in campaign and ask the current lead "prophet, seer and revelator" to just put the stinkin' peep-stone in the hat alre...

There are some signs that membership is ticking back up. It may be wishful thinking to believe that people as a whole will continue getting smarter and rejecting ridiculous stories like Mormonism. It’s just as possible that people fall into misinformation more now that internet propaganda is everyw...
