Evidence for God from Science

I assume that most here believe in an incorporeal, immaterial God. I have many doubts about the possibility of this, and I have many questions to ask. I dont seek to debate the nature of God in this thread, but to understand how incorporealists handle these difficult questions. I have no trick up my...

Would it have been logically impossible to create a man who would not have fallen? By this you assume that the fall was a bad thing. What if it was supposed to happen? What if Adam was fully aware of the consequences and judged that it was better to fall than to remain forever in the garden? Was th...

It seems the topic has strayed far from the original post, but I would like to comment on it. Why cant Jesus be the literal son of God and the biological Son of God? I believe that he is. His mother is mary, and his father is God. That doesnt necessarily mean that God had sex with mary, but I believ...

I sincerely appreciate the warm welcome. I have been participating on another forum for most of the year, and I recently was invited by someone to check this one out and so far I like it. The focus is a bit different it seems. I am quite aware of the history of the church in regards to blacks. That ...

While my purpose here is not to go into details about the life of a missionary, I will derail in order to correct some of the misconceptions on this forum. As to the other topics, they will require more intenst debate that I dont have time for yet until after midterms. Isolation and limited communic...

Are you sure this a missionary or a boot camp? Sorry.. I don't mean to belittle you At times it does seem like it. However, I found that I was happiest when I was obeying all of the mission rules. The two years arent meant to be a vacation, but in focused service to God. Sure, missionaries can talk...

Sorry folks Ive been busy with mid-terms. Itll be a few more days. In the meantime, I did find this interesting article to mull over about the names Timothy and Lachoneus in the BoM. http://library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.dll/Magazines/Ensign/1992.htm/ensign%20october%201992%20.htm/i%20have%20a%20questi...

In 1828 there was very little understanding of egyptian at all in the world. Prof. Anthon gave contradictory statements about the characters, first stating that they were egyptian, then that they were not. Actually, his remarks were probably not more than opinion based on the scarce egyptian knowled...

Being human and not having a firm grasp or a perfect knowledge of the many specialized fields in mormon apologetics, I must confess to having to choose my battles. For those topics I dont feel comfortable addressing(because of a lack of knowledge on my part, or because someone else can do a better j...

One important thing to remember is that a very small percentage of mormon missionaries are trained in apologetics, though most seem to think they are well-enough self-taught. Having once been a missionary myself, I know this from firsthand experience. Having no scholarly works at their disposal whil...

In the mean time have you ever tried to find the mormon response to those questions on the internet? Being from Idaho you should be familiar with FARMs and FAIR, among others.

answers coming, I dont have time today.

That's not exactly accurate. They believe that those who Help Jesus overcome his brother Lucifer were made angels or white men. Those who were on the side of Lucifer were made demons. Those who were neutral were sent to earth and given black skin. Actually, we dont believe in that either. Those who...
