Gordon B. Hinckley's anti-Christian remark

Yeah, that's really true Loran, and, I'll have to say, given what I've seen of Fortigurns postings so far, he's not an expert in much of anything (especially Climatology).

Oh, by the way, Carl appeared to me again last night while I was watching Inherit The Wind, on TMC and said again that the Church was true. He also said that Global Warming was about as dumb as Nuclear Winter, and just as politically motivated.

Oh, and Stephan said hello too, and said to tell everybody that the magisterium isn't so overlapping anymore.

Thanks Dick. Oh, and by the way, please watch using my own screen name when you sign on. It makes people think were one and the same person. Bednar and Packer have done a good job keeping the lid on, I'll have to say, but, you know, MPD can be a bitch.

I think that some of you are really getting what Gordon b Hinckley was saying and most of you are only making assumptions on what he said. The interesting thing that I have learned about people in general is that they hear what they want to hear and as for MR. Cofee lay off from the cafeine dude, his name is Joseph Smith not Joe Smith. Not that I know everything, but what Gordon B Hinckley was saying is that the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not have to take statements that were not directed by revelation. Hate to burst your bubled but Joseph Smith was more than just an ordinary man, he was the prophet of a living God, who saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ when he went into the sacred grove to pray. Since then the Lord has called prophets again on earth, giving them revelations on how to direct His sons and daughters back to Him. So, Gordon B Hinckley was merely testifying on the revelation received by the young Joseph when he saw the two personages. It so amazing how the prophecies told to Joseph Smith by God that, his name shall be known for both good and bad among all nations. reading some of the comments made by many of you, the prophecy has been fulfilled I guess.

You've strayed onto a mountain of knowledge, nomi. You might want to turn around and run very quickly back where you came from, because here, we take Joseph with a bushel of salt. We don't accept him at face value, since we've found out a few of the secrets he kept hidden from the members of his time. We tend to take him apart and study him, rather than revere him. If you can't abide that kind of inquiry and study, this forum might not be a good fit for you.

Nevertheless, it's important to point out that she's just as welcome here as anyone else.

Did I say she wasn't? Sheesh, Shades. You know I would never imply someone wasn't welcome. I was trying to be helpful.

You see, the angry, bitter, mean, dispeptic, malevolent person above, whose views on Joseph Smith aren't' event intellectually serious, let alone studious, thinks that this forum is (and she is correct), dominated by people like her who will not think more than once of stooping to any lengths of intellectual dishonesty to make their point.

Studying Joseph is not, primarily, what foes on here. Most of the bandwidth used up here is used up in slandering and defaming him, regardless of the intellectual slovenliness that must be brought to bear on the subject.

You probably have better things to do, nomi.
