LDS - Mormonism Guidelines

Theists only.

Look! It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's a bicycle built for two!

This forum is a debate area to discuss issues pertaining to the LDS - Mormons. This forum is generally for theists only, and is generaly not the area for debate between atheists and theists. Non-theists may not post here without first obtaining permission from the moderator of this forum. Granting of such permission is subject to Moderator discretion - and may be revoked if the Moderator feels that the poster is not keeping with the spirit of the World Religions Department.

Due to the sensitive nature of the LDS Temple Ceremonies to our LDS posters, we do not allow posting exact text of the temple rituals, articles describing older versions of the ceremony, or links that provide the same information. However discussion of generalities of the ceremony are not off limits. If in doubt, PM the area mod or an Admin


Non-theists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions.

    LDS prophets have often explained that their opinions are not the same as the voice of God.
    Except, of course, when it benefits them and they claim they are.

    We view modern apostles in the same way that we view ancient apostles, except modern apostle will often address modern issues (example: internet, which did not exist in ancient times).

    Well, except for the fact that the ancient apostles (ancient? ) never had to state something in direct opposition that they had stated earlier, and didn't have to play "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain".

    But, for extra points, WHICH of the "ancient apostles" have you had to throw under the bus to the same extent that you've had to throw Brigham Young under the bus?
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
