You guys are still at it! (why am I not surprised?)

The concern I've had for a long time now is the problem with getting rid of all the gods. Obviously if you get rid of them all you may be throwing out the one true God out with the bathwater, so to speak.

What if all the monotheistic "gods" are all the same God, just a different perspective with different experiences creating the picture? Like looking at different sides of the same object, the picture can be very different. We can't see the full story. Just a thought. I'm sure that's probably oversimplified.

2 Nephi 29:7-8 declares that God speaks to all nations, saying, "Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?"

2 Nephi 29:11-12 further elaborates on this concept: "For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them... I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it."

Alma 29:8 is another relevant scripture that states: "For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have."

I think the creator God of all things speaks to all nations according to "that [which] they should have". Even to the point of using different messengers and voices and sacred writings.

You're getting your stories mixed up again, as that's what YOU started this thread with.

You do this regularly, as though you're here just to criticize but you can't keep track of your accusations. You use a tactic, then forget and accuse others of the same tactic. Maybe use a pencil and pad when you post. You can list your made up accusations and it will help you remember to use different tactics in the next post.

It’s like being caught out in bad behaviour is a prompt for him to accuse others of that bad behaviour even though they haven’t done it. Or in other words, Trolling 101.

Exactly.

Says the troll. Cast the beam out of thine own eye?

Intentional disruption: The person is deliberately attempting to disrupt the other poster's online activities, which is a key aspect of trolling.

Persistent negativity: Consistently trying to find fault and being disagreeable matches the troll behavior of having only negative things to say about another poster's contributions.

Targeted harassment: Following a specific user around the discussion board to engage in this behavior can be seen as a form of online harassment, which is often associated with trolling.

Provocation of emotional responses: The constant disagreement and fault-finding are likely intended to provoke frustration or other negative emotional responses from the target, which is a common goal of trolls.

Derailing discussions: This behavior can derail productive conversations and shift focus away from the original topics, which is another tactic employed by trolls.

Look in the mirror. If the shoe fits.

I thought this was interesting…


And this
It’s an interesting insight.

It explains how someone can preach “Step outside and breathe.<snip>. Serve a neighbor. Take a drive. Read a good book. Have a real life conversation. Get off the dang keyboard!” whilst practicing the opposite.

I would normally fear for the spouse of someone with a Dark Tetrad Personality, and maybe we should in this specific case...but hopefully our resident DTP comes here to try and exert his macho and his spouse is spared the game playing. It's quite sad really, when you think about it. I'm guessing he's relatively puny in real life and feels insignificant - passed over for serious Church callings, feels he didn't amount to what he deserved to in his career, etc. He comes here to try and boost his own ego by putting others down. That's certainly been the pattern for 25 years. That he's here so often suggests it's not working. Actually, that’s a bit unfair, his complex personality disorder means, to all intents and purposes, he simply cannot help himself.

Projection? Absent the church callings of course. What do you call it when you come to this board to put the church down? Is that healthy?

We know very little about you, IHAQ. What kind of person are you? Are you a loner? What do you do with your time when you're not on the computer? What do you do to serve others? Are you happily married? Do your children love and respect you? Do you have grandchildren that you spend time with often? Are you involved in community service? Do you take care of yourself physically and exercise regularly? Can you be trusted around children? If yes, how do we know that to be true? What is your belief system? How does it work for you? Would you recommend it to others? Why?

Who are you? What makes YOU tick?

MG

We can...could...even admit it when we don't know the full story as I did in response to Shulem and we move on without the associated sacrilegious and disrespectful language that is used towards Jesus. That's not necessary. To many, including me, He is the all-important creator of all things and the Saviour of mankind. If you don't believe that, fine. But why promote nasty memes and pictures and foul language towards Him or the church that bears His name?

What about the sacrilegious mutilations towards the god Anubis of the Egyptian religion and the disrespectful statement made towards him as being a slave in your so-called precious Book of Abraham Explanations for Abraham in Egypt? What about the false statements made about the original owner of the papyrus, HOR?

Mormons are liars and a cheaters, twisting and perverting Egyptology by the influence of a lying spooky Spirit®!

Take heed, lurkers, MG will lie to you just as the Church does. He's a hypocrite.

I started this thread. You have continually tried to come in and start another. Please do that on another thread rather than on this one. Others may want to contribute to your thread.

I probably won't.

This isn't a specific area (Anubis) that I have any expertise on or have had any real interest in.

Thanks,

2 Nephi 29:7-8 declares that God speaks to all nations, saying, "Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?"

You can hear the word and be baptized but if you're a black African (negro), you cannot hold the priesthood. Mormons won't allow that!

2 Nephi 29:11-12 further elaborates on this concept: "For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them... I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it."

Black Africans can't write the words of the Lord and neither will they hold the priesthood.

Alma 29:8 is another relevant scripture that states: "For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have."

Black Africans are not fit or worthy of the priesthood. Shame on the negros!

I think the creator God of all things speaks to all nations according to "that [which] they should have". Even to the point of using different messengers and voices and sacred writings.

And every Mormon knows the black Africans won't get what they don't deserve. Banned from the priesthood!

This message is approved by MG who supports corrupt leaders, past and present, of the Mormon religion.

But this thread (You guys are still at it! (why am I not surprised?) is not specific to any one thing in particular and the opening post is very general and allows flexibility. You included a couple of links at the end about religious political matters but don't base the purpose of this thread on those links. The opening post leaves plenty of room for varying topics including that of Anubis.

So, your request is denied!

Hello to the same old players. It's been a few months since I've checked to see what is happening around here.

Not much new to shout about, huh?

Same stuff. Criticize the leaders. Money issues. Book of Mormon historicity. Purported organizational missteps. Accusations of dishonesty and evil doing. Dissing Christianity as a whole. Oh yeah, Dr. Peterson too.

Etc.

If you folks were to be paid for your work here it would be a fairly healthy second income.

And you wouldn't have to pay tithing!

Step outside and breathe. Hug a child. Serve a neighbor. Take a drive. Read a good book. Have a real life conversation. Get off the dang keyboard!

I was going to hop in and add my two cents on a thread or two, but then I thought...why? I'd like to see something new or interesting to comment on but, alas, that doesn't seem to be a possibility. Why join in on a thread if it's just a rehash of a rehash?

If I see something that sparks my interest...maybe.

So that I don't totally waste your time, here are a couple of conversations I've listened to recently that are thought provoking/interesting:

C'mon IHAQ, you make false innuendo/accusations towards me. Let's find out a bit more about what makes you tick.

I'm willing to answer any one of the questions I'm posing to you.

Don't be shy.

You seem to be willing to spout at the mouth about others (for example essentially calling me a pedophile)...let's learn about you. You've made some sick accusations.

That's the thing about critics. Willing to take pot shots at the other guy while remaining hidden and unwilling to be transparent/vulnerable.

Answer my questions.
