LDS: Is the name "Nephi" a derivative of "Nephilim"?

[KathleenGee]

There is also a concept out there in the crime world. Police and legal authorities consider a dying man’s word quite believable.

St. John the Evangelist first stated that what he wrote did not come from him but from Christ Himself. In all honesty, I cannot see how any mortal could compose the Book of Revelation.

Christ Himself did not warn the faithful that after the death of the St.John the Evangelist, that would soon follow would be no church teaching the truth of Him. However, there was nothing from Revelations warning the faithful the Church would end soon after His apostle’s death,

You have 2,000 years of consistent preaching of Who Christ is. The Book of Mormon and atempts to tie it to the Old Testament, the justification of polygamy to be practiced by Mormon men throughout the general population, and the women unable to go to heaven without men is not the true Gospel, and is at best, conjecturing.

I prefer verifiable documents vs that.

… and the women unable to go to heaven without men is not the true Gospel, and is at best, conjecturing.
…

You fail to mention that men cannot receive the highest reward without the woman. It is said in the scriptures:
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

:hypno: Out of answers are we?

I was going to ask the same question from you. The Book of Mormon teaches the same thing that the book of Revelation teaches. If you reckon the Book of Mormon teaches that about the Catholic Church, then you must believe that the Revelation of John does too. :hypno:

This is nothing new. SDA believe that also. I’ve heard a preacher saying so on the “Hope-Channel”.

I can understand the SDA believing that, but not a Catholic, which SteveVH claims to be.

Flyonthewall,

I appreciate and like your comment about the supportive presence of woman. It goes the same for celibate priests and brothers…Ever Virgin Mary. For the sake of the Gospel.

The monks live celibate lives, have great devotion to Mary, and pray for the entire world.

Wrong, Fly. St Paul also wrote about celibacy in 1Corinthians 7:

32But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

Please show me where I have even hinted at your ridiculous conclusion zerinus. It is not what is written in Revelation that is at issue. It is the interpretation of what was written which is misinterpreted and knowingly misrepresented, as is the rest of Sacred Scripture, by the LDS and all others who have apostatized from the one, true Church. The fact that Joseph Smith lifted this portion of Revelation from the Scriptures, among many others, to place in his fairytale lends it no legitimacy whatsoever, but rather is to be expected, considering his self-serving history of fraud. He had to include it in order justify a “restoration”. Modern day Mormons have watered down his original intent in order to snuggle up to the rest of Christianity in an effort to lure others into this falsehood.

Does your church actually train you in the art of misrepresentation or did you come up with this all on your own? Grow up!

 

[KathleenGee]

This is the other Zerinus…there are several of them.

Like the Planten’s.

I gave you the Book of Mormon interpretation of those verses in post #203. What was there about that post that you did not understand?

I have had some good teachers at CAF.
