@ldgarland405 Actually Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are strongly encouraged not to take the truth at anyone's word - even from our leaders. Instead we are encouraged to study and ponder over the scriptures, to pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ, and to inquire for ourselves as to whether or not a thing is true. If we do not believe in the core doctrines of our faith we are free, at any time, to depart from it. We value individual agency not ignorant submission.

This guy is so confused. Religion will do that to you, I guess.

[TheJazuma]

what the fuck? "products of their time", so he's justifying their actions? wow, talk about a racist in denial. FACT: everyone is a RACIST. come on seriously...lol

@fubecafy that is, you assume your doctrines are true, which is contradictory then when you go to BYU you are encouraged to follow the brethren and not question, they make you and antimormon in BYU

@fubecafy I didnt try to correct anything of what you believe. I merely corrected you on what the church teaches, and that is that the prophet talks for God. The prophet is Gods "mouthpiece" apparently. Unless you also believe God is capable of lying, you are taught to believe anything the prophet says as truth and Gods word

[fubecafy]

@liamlloyd77 It is a strange thing to me that you seek to correct me on my own beliefs.

[liamlloyd77]

@fubecafy Thats not entirely true is it lol You are taught that the prophet speaks for God and whatever the prophet commands is Gods commands.

[TheSteeletube]

of men who were in your view, PROPHETS. Gives a sickening thought to that word...

When I come in contact with a racist, I swiftly kick them in the nuts.

I've been doing a lot of kicking lately.

@fubecafy Well said! Antimormons need to hear statements like that more often.

So if God is infalible and never wrong, how do you justify the original D&C of pologiomy as given by Joseph Smith(and practiced as well). Then a mandate, not a removal, by the phrophet stating that God said it is wrong?

So if 1+2=3. 1)God said its law and put in the mormon D&C that pologomy is his law. And 2)God sees he is wrong but only has his phrophet set a mandate to change his law. Then 3)God is falible and wrong?
