Many officials, including the principal and other Thai people, stated that they never in their lifetime expected to have the opportunity to be in the presence of the princess. Church members were excited to be invited guests for the memorial occasion.

[omiolo]

A highlight of the water project was the startling changes at the Mae Ramoeng School. Most buildings on site were newly painted and decorated with yards of richly colored material draped in artistic fashion for the grand celebration in anticipation of the visit of the princess. For the ceremony, students in white shirts sat on mats under a canopy for three hours waiting for the princess to pass by

This is not proof of the book of mormon. The book was written in the 1800's. People had knowledge of everything He's saying. The book is not as old as the bible. Mormonism gotta be the most retarded stories ever

[StorminMormin91]

LOL. I love the enthusiasm.

In Samara, Elder Nelson met with the 70 full-time missionaries serving in the Russia Samara Mission. "Why does the Lord use a young man or young woman to teach the gospel?" he asked. "The Lord uses the unlikely to accomplish the impossible. That is his pattern," he said.

[omiolo]

The Mormon apostle was accompanied by Elder Gregory A. Schwitzer of the Seventy and a counselor in the Europe East Area Presidency, and his wife, Jo Ann Schwitzer. They spent two days in Samara. Earlier, they visited with and addressed members in Voronezh on Oct. 20.

omiolo said:- "I have learnt to expect this from you, never being specific, bait and switching as much as you can .. while you wonder why we think you are full of deceit"

If you look back FOUR DAYS, you will find my reply on this:-

'Studies of the Book of Mormon' B.H.Roberts

University of Illinois Press, ISBN 025201434

As you can see, I am specific, truthful & accurate!

As usual, everything I post can be checked at the sources provided.

Your tactics of tedious repetition I find tiresome.

"I then received a stake responsibility and began to think about how the vision could be realized. My first thought was to attend the temple more often. I then prayed to be able to do so, made plans, and the number of times I attended increased each year. When I attended the temple, I always saw members from Hokkaido there which showed that many members were indeed attending.

[omiolo]

"For me, the idea of a temple in our area began with President Domon expressing his vision of a temple in Hokkaido when he became the Sapporo west stake president. When I first heard his vision, I was very surprised because I had never imagined a temple in the place I live, Hokkaido, as opposed to just in Tokyo. I also had uncertain feelings about whether that vision could truly become a reality.

From Brazil and El Salvador to Samoa and Guatemala, members of the Church are reaching out around the world to help those in need. Below are some examples

[omiolo]

Latter-day Saints believe that giving service to others is a lifestyle based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, who went about doing good. The desire to serve others crosses cultural boundaries and has been manifested in recent months with stories featured on International Church Web sites.

In his book, Elder Roberts notes that in "View of the Hebrews" an elaborate account is given of the civilization that must have existed in Central America in ancient times. This is summarized largely from Baron Humbolt's "New Spain" published first in Germany, 1808 and translated into English by John Black in 1811, and quoted copiously by Ethan Smith in his second edition of the "View of the Hebrews" 1825.

[truthferrret]

In these excerpts from Humbolt are descriptions of pyramids Temples, ruined cities, high-ways with some speculations as to their resemblances to the Egyptian pyramids.

Some twenty pages are devoted to describing civilization traits as seen in Temples, pyramids and ruined cities.

Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve advised more than 600 single adults to consistently feed the spiritual side through simple daily tasks like prayer and scripture study.

He spoke at an LDS Education Conference for single adults in Boston, Mass., over the weekend of Oct. 31.

Elder M. Russell Ballard advised more than 600 single adults to consistently feed the spiritual side of their beings through simple daily tasks like prayer and scripture study.

[omiolo]

Frederic W. Farrar, the well-known Church of England author and theologian, made the following observation about this teaching of Peter: Every effort has been made to explain away the plain meaning of this passage. It is one of the most precious passages of Scripture, and it involves no ambiguity

[omiolo]

This was not the invention of a creative mind; it was the restoration of a biblical truth. Peter had long ago taught, For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit (1 Peter 4:6).

[truthferrret]

"B H Robers NEVER published this book!"

Stop squirming omiolo and pay attention.

I NEVER said he did.

In fact I added the name of the publisher together with it's ISBN number for your convenience.

Are you trying to deny that Roberts was the AUTHOR?

[omiolo]

maybe you should read the dialog between us AGAIN!

please focus on comprehension!

[truthferrret]

Comprehension?

It's clear from your reply that you don't even know the difference between a publisher and an author.

[omiolo]

and here I thought it was clear you do NOT know the difference between a verb and a noun.

[truthferrret]

I already told you the name of the publisher!

[omiolo]

I believe you said BHR published it right?

[truthferrret]

I knew you hadn't been paying attention!

[omiolo]

I have learned to expect this from you, never being specific, bait and switching as much as you can and then trying to feel good about your position while you wonder why we think you are full of deceit!

[truthferrret]

Ever heard the expression - "Argumentum ad nauseam"?

[omiolo]

not as often as I see the expression

"bait and switch"

[omiolo]

Finally, she counseled leaders to work hard to build strong relationships with the young men themselves, and not forget the Primary boys who are preparing to receive the priesthood. It's never too early to build relationships, she observed. "The relationship between a Scout leader and the boy can be profound," said Sister Lifferth.

[omiolo]

It's also vital that leaders build relationships with the families of the boys, she added. She encouraged leaders to support parents by helping them understand Scouting, Cub Scouting and Church-sponsored activities such as Primary's "Faith in God."

[omiolo]

Sister Margaret S. Lifferth, first counselor in the Primary General Presidency, also emphasized the importance of relationships. Local priesthood leaders must develop relationships with those men and women they have called to work with young men and Primary boys. It's important that those who work on the front lines with Scouts of all ages have the proper training and tenure they need to best fulfill their callings, she said.

[omiolo]

I pray that our lives allow us to declare, as the Apostle Paul, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

[omiolo]

I pray that we will do the best we can in our roles as spouses, parents, children, brothers and sisters; in our callings; in sharing the gospel; in rescuing those who have drifted; in working for the salvation of our ancestors; in our work; and in our daily lives.

[truthferrret]

So tell me omiolo, is it your considered opinion that; "smiting off arms"(BofM) & "cutting off the hands of the Jews and sending them back"(View of the Hebrews) are acts that are 'NOT EVEN REMOTELY SIMILAR' as BYP asserts in this video?

[omiolo]

The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned

[omiolo]

However, we must be careful not to constrain His influence. When we do not do what is right or when our outlook is dominated by skepticism, cynicism, criticism, and irreverence toward others and their beliefs, the Spirit cannot be with us. We then act in a way that the prophets describe as the natural man.

Ethan Smith's volume relies heavily on Isaiah 18—readers of the book will note how important he feels this chapter is, since it applies to America. Ethan Smith focuses heavily on verse one ("ho, land shadowing with wings") as referring specifically to North and South America, with the two "wings" of North America and South America being divided by the Isthmus of Panama. Of course, the Book of Mormon doesn't refer to Isaiah 18 at all,

[truthferrret]

Isaiah18: "Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings"

An obvious reference to the plagues of Locusts that bedevilled - EGYPT!

[truthferrret]

"Multitudes of Jews were forced to flee by hunger to the enemy's camp. Here instead of pitying and relieving them, the Romans cut off the hands of many and sent them back ..."

[omiolo]

yeah, I have NOT found the part about the ROMANS in the Book of Mormon.

Maybe you have a special ANTImormon version?

[truthferrret]

"yeah, I have NOT found the part about the? ROMANS in the Book of Mormon."

That's because I was quoting from Ethan's novel, NOT Joseph's!

Thought I'd made that clear.

Try to pay attention omiolo.

[omiolo]

and you are trying to imply one is built on the other.

No need for you to play the bait and switch game!

[truthferrret]

I'm with Elder B.H.Roberts on this one.

[omiolo]

my guess is that you are NOT. I would love to know what book BH Roberts published that you think in ANY way supports your limited understanding?

[truthferrret]

'Studies of the Book of Mormon': B.H.Roberts University of Illinois Press, ISBN 0252010434

Hope this helps!

[omiolo]

NO,

caught you AGAIN!

BH Robers NEVER published this book!

See your types have to shift and bait and switch and dodge and spin to get things your way!

[truthferrret]

Check out page 235 to see what Roberts WROTE about the influence of Ethan Smith's novel on the later writings of Joseph Smith!

Ammon was never accused of overstating his "feet".

[Christisms]

[nurser11]
