Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels
Your schtick is to pack up an run from hard questions. You would like nice, comfortable conversations where you can sing tenor in a choir singing the same song. Guess we won’t be friends. I don’t sing in that choir. 😉 You joined in until you didn’t want to anymore. Tough questions aren’t comfortabl...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels
This is your schtick, I take it. :lol: :lol: :lol: oh well. Looping back, pre-derailing. :roll: There were some great responses to the first post, repeated here. I came across this statement, and thought it rather insightful: "People don't leave Christianity because they stop believing in the teachi...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
Convoluted is one word for it. :roll: Wow. And still, no response when you asked them to explain their accusation: Quite an accusation to not back up, but I'm getting the feeling that doing stuff like that is this poster's MO. :roll: Go back and read. That was worked out. Regards, MG You tried hard...

Re: Temple Cafeterias to close permanently
I can see where this point of view could lead someone to assume that the gift-giving and the general celebratory activities surrounding Christmas are detrimental to one’s faith, instead of enhancing it. I don’t understand why expressions of faith must be limited to the entirely dour or serious side...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels
Synthesize your take aways into the strongest argument you can compose and give me a reason to read the book. I listed five categories which Metaxas covers in his book. The first three are, to me, the most powerful because they deal directly with science. And I’m a science kind of guy. Let’s make t...

Re: Temple Cafeterias to close permanently
On another thread I brought up ‘moral high ground’ as being something that is VERY difficult to measure on a public discussion board. https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=154304&start=30 it is. And yet, you try so very, very hard! .....Get the book. Read it. If you’re serious about look...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
MG 2.0. I don't care what charities you do or don't contribute to. Really, I don't. I do find your convoluted narrative entertaining. Thank you for posting the totally not-made-up nor edited receipt from WaterAid to cap it all off. Convoluted is one word for it. :roll: Wow. And still, no response w...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
It’s a strange position they’re in. They’ve never been more wealthy than they are now, but they’re also set to possibly lose a larger share of subsequent generations of members than perhaps ever before as well. In our area, despite the promise of a new-and-improved post-scouting youth program, the ...
