So it means nothing as far as to what the Church teaches.
Aargh…

I think we’re going in circles.

What is the church doctrine on the flood? Not your doctrine. Not Lindsey's. Not Fair's. The Church's!

No one is interesting in discussing what MG believes. Nor FAIR's weasel words. Not even Lindsey's. We're discussing what the Church actually teaches.

I’ve got to get on with my day.

I would again refer you to:

https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/ans ... ocal_Flood

Otherwise, as I’ve said, we’re just going around in circles to little or no avail. We have different worldviews as we look at the bigger picture and the world of the prophets.

So be it.

Funny thing is, I’m the one who shows up to church on Sunday. 🙂

The irony.

Carry on. Back later.

Albeit it fits right in with the agnostic/atheistic stance that you, by all means necessary, need to protect and uphold.
That sounds like projection, nothing more. :roll:
There are examples galore where “line upon line, precept upon precept” is the modus operandi of God and the world of the prophets.
No, that's a frequent excuse established after the fact. In any case it has no relevance to whether the flood is considered doctrine.

You're saying it's fundamentalist to quote the church authorities on church doctrine [on a global flood].

You folks really do have a very narrow way of viewing the world of the prophets. Albeit it fits right in with the agnostic/atheistic stance that you, by all means necessary, need to protect and uphold.

Coming up next:

Critic: Here's how the doctrine of a global flood matters.

MG: You're a humanist and an atheist and clearly hate the Creator God.

If you refer to anything, please make it official church-published information that can be seen to constitute doctrine. Apologists can and do say all sorts of things that the church is not bound by in any way.

Your attendance or not at church is irrelevant, unless you can guarantee that it means that you provide only doctrine, and not the philosophies of men mingled with scripture. I've heard some pretty strange things when I attended church on Sundays, and I suspect I'm not alone in that.

I think mg has a point. The last time a Mormon leader implies a worldwide flood was in 2007 and the last time Noah's flood is mentioned in general conference was in 2010. It is possible some Mormon leaders are slowly trying to abandon Noah's worldwide flood. But I don't really care.

Imagine pointing out lying, and the liar responds with accusations of fault finding.

-_-
He wasn't lying after all.

MG,

When it comes to things like evolution/flood and other scientifically related areas the church generally has no stated doctrinal position although members and leaders have expressed their opinions.
What is a doctrinal position? Is gambling a sin?
