The LDS members and the Kingdom of God

I have had the Spirit testify to me! In other words, I have already seen China so don't try to tell me it doesn't exist just because you haven't seen it!

How do you know you saw China or that your interpretation is accurate? Columbus thought he saw India.

In what way do you think the spirit testified to you?

[_ludwigm]

Columbus thought he saw India.

... and called the people "indios," or "indians".

Since then this causes confusion between the inhabitants of America and India.



_ They are very similar types _

Do they both have Hebrew ancestry?

How about this Jewish man?

In 2001, the television series Son of God used one of three first-century Jewish skulls from a leading department of forensic science in Israel to depict Jesus in a new way. A face was constructed using forensic anthropology by Richard Neave, a retired medical artist from the Unit of Art in Medicine at the University of Manchester. The face that Neave constructed suggested that Jesus would have had a broad face and large nose, and differed significantly from the traditional depictions of Jesus in renaissance art. Additional information about Jesus's skin color and hair was provided by Mark Goodacre, a senior lecturer at the Department of Theology and Religion at the University of Birmingham. Using third-century images from a synagogue — the earliest pictures of Jewish people — Goodacre proposed that Jesus's skin color would have been darker and swarthier than his traditional Western image. He also suggested that he would have had short, curly hair and a short cropped beard. This is also confirmed in the First Epistle to the Corinthians, where Paul the Apostle states that it is "disgraceful" for a man to have long hair. As Paul knew many of the disciples and members of Jesus's family, it is unlikely that he would have written such a thing had Jesus had long hair. Although not literally the face of Jesus, the result of the study determined that Jesus's skin would have been more olive-colored than white, and that he would have looked like a typical Galilean Semite. Among the points made was that the Bible records that Jesus's disciple Judas had to point him out to those arresting him. The implied argument is that if Jesus's physical appearance had differed markedly from his disciples, then he would have been relatively easy to identify.

Ludwig, that cannot be right.
All the Mormon pictures of Christ depict a tall beared Scandinavian gentleman...

That artists had eye problems.

You miss the point as usual and how I destroyed your China example. I showed an important historical figure was convinced he found India but was wrong, just as people can be convinced their interpretation of their spiritual experiences are right yet can be just as wrong. Now how do you know you are correct?

[_gdemetz]

You destroyed it only in your mind! People who are not spiritually blind, as Christ states, can not see these things, and the people who are not can! Where do you fit in?! I've seen China, but you haven't so you say it doesn't exist?!?
