By the way, I don’t know if you all have either seen, read, or discussed Hardy’s “Annotated Book of Mormon”. It’s worth spending time with. Hey, MG. I hope you're well. I believe that there are more than a few here who will have read the book. Maybe you should start a thread and lead a discussion o...

It may be true, sadly, that being open to the possibility that there is something profound in a book may cause one to be more likely to find profundity, but it is certainly not a logical way to think. Suppose you are testing for A versus not-A. Simply acknowledging the possibility of A as a result ...

Because it's interesting to find out where he got his ideas. If God can just wave his magic wand, why ask how something was done? We’re human. We’re curious. If God did wave his magic wand, so to speak, He’s done a masterful job of covering up any obvious brushstrokes. Any clues one way or the othe...

After a recent conversation or two on this board I’ve been considering whether or not to continue participating on this board. I think I ought to manage my time more wisely and find some other things to do at this point in my life. I do believe that it’s been mostly a rewarding experience for me to ...

I would imagine that at the end of the day you would also chuckle under your breath at those that believe Jesus died but then lives again in the heavens. You miss the point for at least the second time this morning. I don't chuckle under my breath at resurrection myths or plates myths. I chuckle ou...

I wasn’t aware that he was a believer in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You are aware, are you not, that a person can be a theist and NOT believe in Jesus? Yes, but germane to Mormonism and the restoration narrative it all comes down to Jesus and His resurrection. If one does not believe in the ...

Earlier I said, “How wide the divide”. I think that when a theist is talking with a non theist this is going to be the outcome. Laughter on the part of the non theist. Physic's Guy is a theist. As I pointed out many times in this thread and you've forgotten, 99.9% of theists out there are laughing ...

The structure they build doesn't hold up to inspection at all, but to a glance from afar, it looks nice. It's a house made of paint, a Potemkin apology. Would you look at Jesus’s resurrection in the same way? If so, I would imagine this may ‘paint’ your views in such a way that belief in angels and...

What I reckon they're really doing is not apologetics, but apologetics theatre. Whether they realise it or not, they're not actually even attempting to influence anyone with genuine doubts—not neutral never-Mormon seekers, not anti-Mormon critics, not wavering Mormons. What they're doing is going t...

malkie I thank Boomer as well. I was not trying to give you a hard time. Instead i wanted to suggest to MG that the actual link has observations of some potential value. huck, thanks, but I didn't think of your comment as in any way intended to give me a hard time - I don't see you as that kind of ...
