Oh brother ...

Seattle Ute
I am not angry, it was a little late night grumpiness after seeing another post of your making your own bootstrapping arguments. Let me clarify that when you said it was this particu;ar post of your...

Oh dear
Can I get a show of hands as to how many people really take Seattle Ute seriously on discussions of Mormonism. I am well aware of problems with BoM historicity, etc., and the potential to interpret...

I do not think Hagoth is a strange insertion
It may have been a major event that shaped things greatly at the time so there is a passing comment on it.
There are a lot of passing comments in the BoM, like a mid verse comment on how they used...

Mike, Happiness
All-in to me is being willing to give all. Putting the things of God before the things of man. Of course none of us will do that perfectly and that is why some LDS are unhappy. I believe God is...

Maybe not so liberal compared to some here however. I fully believe that people can be very spiritual in other faiths. If they find peace there, great. But Mike, I do believe in the restoration...

Mike, the church is an all-in proposition
Full salvation, IMO, cannot be obtained without first being willing to sacrifice all things. The church helps facilitate such focused devotion by its members. Though the members can be misguided at...

Wow, what a reception.
Thank you for kind words, though that is not what I am seeking. I have never really interacted much with Seattle Ute, Solon and Triplet Daddy before, but I am sorry if you misunderstand tender words...

Virtually everything I have read that tried to give insight to Isaiah is total crap. Gileadi is the only one I have found quite compelling. As far as I can tell no one is at his level on Isaiah...

Utes better not complain about the penalties
The personal foul on the last drive was well deserved. The Ute player drilled the receiver when the ball was a couple yards out of bounds and the Db could easily tell the ball was not catchable. ...

So I travelled to the game Saturday. It was nice to see a lot of Cougar fans there. I would guess about 20% were BYU fans.
The three main reasons why I think BYU lost were as follows (in no...

Sure he can, and I believe he does. But a true liar always has agendas for the truths he slips in. This is an area where I disagree with Skousen, who claimed he could not tell trust, ever.
