Re: DCP Accuses Dan Vogel of Intending to "damage the Church"

I have no idea what Peterson is talking about. All I can say is I'm only interested in getting the history right and what happens to the church is of no concern of mine. I said as much during my interview with John Dehlin. Not all of my time is spent on controversial topics. I spend a great deal of...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

No, that's not true, it is not a question at all. Even if the lds church took in 0% tithing from 100% of its membership, they would still have enough interest income to cover 100% of their operating costs AND have at least 10billion leftover interest to grow their investment hoard even larger. They...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

An excellent presentation, although I think their estimates of church wealth may be low. According to this well researched website, the church has between USD300 and USD400 in commercial and agricultural real estate. http://www.bidstrup.com/ldsfinances.htm 60% of church membership is outside of the...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

If people want to argue it is their faith, fine, the discussion can end. But it doesn’t. Non believers on a board such as this one will continue pestering believers because they just can’t accept that people with an IQ above 100 can choose, on reasonable grounds, to believe in God.

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

They are saving for a pandemic but not this one because it was too much of a financial bonanza for them to resist investing more. No, the pandemic they are saving for will need $Trillions upon $Trillions. It'll take a lot of cash to be able to lend the kind of money to the desperate in that day. I ...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

Given the opportunity to correct your error you double down on your lie. Wow. You are quite the piece of work. Ok. This is fun. I had already gone back and made clarification. Looks like we have Lemmie. 2.0, except you’re a guy, right? As in biological male. You are wasting my time just as she ofte...

Re: Temple Cafeterias to close permanently

Q15: Lord, we need your guidance. There are so many people suffering right now. Suffering physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. Please, bless us with your will on how to best serve those whom you have granted us stewardship over. How do we help people to draw closer to thee? J...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

Refuting the intelligent design idea doesn’t require assuming multiple universes. I understand that. If I’m not mistaken, however , that seems to be the prevailing view among those trying their darndest to do away with and/or distort or ignore any findings that give potentiality to a reasoned belie...
