This is why most Christians have a hard time reconciling the teachings and stories within it, and instead they focus on a few snippets here and there to cling to as their core doctrines. Cherry picking is bad, no matter how you look at it.
So that's why Joesph Smith the con and druggie had to write another book, one I might add has no historical backing. Why would God see fit to inspire one book, then see it was flawed and directly bring writings to a secret place in a secret language to a single man. Why not correct the earlier one, would this have been simpler or not. If you kept your nose out of false teaching and actually study the Bible you might see the sensibility of scriptures.
You're bad at doing research on something you're trying to convince people of. After Joseph Smith the con and druggie gave the world the Book of Mormon, he set about correcting the entire Bible. It's called the "Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible". He took a KJV and made inspired changes. Oh...this is the first you're hearing of this. Well, I'm so glad I can be the bearer of glad tidings and good will.

I imagine it was to get rid of the stigma that had been attached to the word "Mormons". Putting Jesus Christ in the title was a way of bridging the gap with the rest of the Christian Community, to show that we do indeed worship Christ and believe in his Atoning Sacrifice.
By the way, you can't get on to other people for spelling mistakes when you can't spell the "Moron Church" correctly. Hardy har.
GC Wrote:I can see why you would, you accept without question the man made Mormon religion of Joseph Smith, so why not evolution.
Am I that transparent? Perhaps there are other factors here, but you simply are not asking the right questions to find out what they are. I'm sorry that I gave you the impression that I was gullible. Perhaps your first clue should have been that I wasn't taken in by your load of crap.
GC Wrote:Are you saying God created man twice, where does it state that?
Oh, you never heard of the Pre-Adamites?
Creation 1
"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." - Genesis 1:27
Creation 2
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." - Genesis 2:7
This takes place after the Seventh Day of Rest. The Garden of Eden account could have taken place at any point in man's history.
GC Wrote:Why would God use evolution, do you believe he is not omnipotent, and why would days in heaven be longer than on earth, when in actuality heaven is eternal time does not exist there. Why is the order of creation nonsensical, because science says it is, do you believe God is so flawed He doesn't know what order He was to use in creating.
Not because Science "says so", but because Science proves it to be nonsensical. You believing in it at face value is quite nonsensical.
If God used Evolution to create man, then such is his prerogative, you nincompoop. Being Omniscient, he knew before hand that nature would pop out a man in his own image, or have you not thought of that?
God is not flawed; the men writing about him were. The men copying down those ancient manuscripts were also flawed. Even Joseph Smith was flawed when he was translating the Book of Mormon. Modern-day revelation is the only way to be sure of anything that comes from God!
GC Wrote:Where in Genesis does it say God created man and woman, it says He took man and created Him in His image, all other passages say God made them, the man from the dust of the earth and woman from the man, and then put (blew) the breath of life in them.
You're a Christian; why are you asking me something you should know by heart? Get your Bible out and read the account, man!
GC Wrote:PP Wrote:Some of my understanding may be off from what actually happened, but I believe it will be possible to learn the truth of all things one day, if not in this life.
This is a statement true to all of us.
You have a strange way of showing it then. Why do you not admit that some of your understanding may be flawed? Man is fallible, so why aren't you?
