It seems that mg searched by keyword, hit upon England's essay, and without reading it… Oh, I’ve read it more than once. Pearls such as: THE Church is as true as—perhaps truer than—the gospel because it is where all can find fruitful opposi­tion, where its revealed nature and inspired direction mai...

What else…specifically…would the LGBTQ community and their allies want the church and their membership to do beyond what has already been done? Stop disciplining LGBTQ+ individuals for doing the same things that straight members can do without consequence? Just a thought. Would you be willing to go...

I'm curious why he thinks it's England's "magnum opus." I certainly wouldn't call it that. There are pearls of wisdom that hadn’t fully been expressed adequately until Eugene England came along. And yes, this put him up against certain BYU faculty and one or two GA’s that we know of. And good for t...

Care to explain? Regards, MG “GOD IS INCREASING IN KNOWLEDGE. If there was a point where man in his progression could not proceed any further, the very idea would throw a gloom over every intelligent and reflecting mind. God Himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, a...

I think there are feelings involved. Feelings of relief. And that’s what I was expounding on in my earlier post. No strawman there. Regards, MG Of course there are feelings, involved MG. That's what the whole discussion was about. That fact doesn't change your little straw men into valid responses....

That contradicts the doctrine of eternal progression.

Care to explain?

But the Church is dying anyway…Nobody cares about Rusty's exaggerated stories. You’ve been out of the pews and living the life of an internet critic for too long. 😉 Unfortunately Eugene England has been gone long enough that the internet generation doesn’t know or remember him. It would do these fo...

Not this boy! 😉 Regards, MG So when someone floats an idea that has no natural explanation, your default position is belief, not disbelief? Often somewhere in between. Think of Lourdes, for example. It’s possible that there is a mix of things going on there. It’s not all or nothing…necessarily. But...

Something like that. God. Alien would be a much more apt description. Evangelicals are 100% right when they say that the Mormon concept of God has very little to do with the Judeo-Christian traditional concept of God. So the "God can do anything" argument doesn't work well for Mormonism, he has to ...

David Hume's definition of miracle is useful here. A miracle is anything that violates the laws of nature. When you suspect you have witnessed a miracle you should 1) Check to see if it's possible you have misinterpreted what you have seen 2) Check to see if your understanding of the laws of nature...
