Re: More lying from Le Grand Richards and POGP
I'm not actually saying anything other than asking asking questions and asking that you stick to the topic. So, a simple question: If the Book of Mormon, as is claimed and the quote posted and attributed to a Mormon prophet supports, contains the fullness of the the Mormon Gospel with all that that includes, why are so many beliefs, practices, ordinances and covenants that are so important to the idea of Mormon salvation (exaltation) not contained within it? How can it be a "fullness" if the greater proportion of Mormon theology is not found within its pages? Do you have a different interpretation of the word "fullness" than one that suggests complete?

And I answered the question - the Book of Mormon is simply a generational record of man's experiences with God (the same as the Bible). It asks everyone to seek God, speak with him and you'll come to a fullness (as prior generations did). It can't be more obvious than that. But, as I said, my prior post addressed this precisely. I can't help it if you, or Mittens, fail to grasp that. It is not my problem to solve and for Mormons like me, I find having to state that over and over to you very uninteresting.

Hardly precisely...but I do admire your tap dancing.

That is the point being presented and I, for one, would be interested in the responses for information's sake.
Of course it does.
So if it's not in the Book of Mormon, it's not part of the Gospel. Got it.
Hang on...

Actually, regardless of how interesting or otherwise you find it, it actually IS your problem to solve.
It's called "Missionary Work" and as a believing Mormon, you are obligated to it!

No, either Mittens is Ivanhoe, or is plagiarizing Ivanhoe from the CARM boards, much of his/her cut and paste comes from someone called Ivanhoe. I also assumed Mittens was female?

Has she/he failed to admit that her post was cut and paste? She/he even gave the source as an LDS source... so by refusing to accept that statement you are calling her/him a liar.

Actually the source was not LDS, it was someone criticizing the LDS. Somewhat important difference. If you are comfortable with Mittens' posting, then why worry?

No, you're not Ivanhoe or BrianH. Your writing style has both terrible grammar and spelling. You seem to have a particular problem with homophones. I assumed you were not a native English speaker. Neither Ivanhoe nor BrianH have this problem.

Just a personal taste thing, but modern Christian music is terrible. I like classical music, it is almost all I listen to outside of public radio and most of which has some religious bent, but the modern genre is absurdly bad.
