Think nothing of it. Weatherman has been doing his nuts about Zman ever since he came here!I think we all get in a defensive mode when confronted. I know I do at times and it is natural I believe no matter what faith you are. We have to just think about what we are posting before we hit that button
Okay, so what is the metaphor in those passages form John that I had quoted?
is that why you are there then to aggravate others?Think nothing of it. Weatherman has been doing his nuts about Zman ever since he came here!

Perhaps you ought to study that issue since you are the one having the problem. I am not your answer man.
I think she was.
You either tell them, or quit moaning that they arenāt being answered. Simple.
I donāt do that, and she has no reason to think that I would.
The answer is the same. You either tell them, or quit moaning that they arenāt being answered. People canāt answer questions that havenāt been asked. It is plain dumb to complain about not answering questions that you donāt want to ask.
Look I am sure you can be a nice dude so try being so. You can discuss without the attitude and still get your points across or are you not able to do that?
And this response is exactly what I have been talking about where your attitude is concerned. If you seriously want to be taken seriously on theology matters you should. Your bishop would tell you to mind your own business as well and you know it.
Well you are talking a load of C.R.A.P. What you are saying is totally irrelevant to post that you were supposedly replying to.
You asked how I answered. I canāt help it you canāt take the answer. I am beginning to think you are a child too. You need to grow up a bit. You shouldnāt be in forums if your skin is so thin.
I have already studied the issue, and have given the correct interpretation of that scripture. You are the one who is challenging me on it, therefore the burden of proof is on you to provide convincing evidence for your point of view.
All you are doing is being obnoxious. I have no respect for anyone that is doing that deliberately as you are doing. You want attention clearly. I donāt see you debating but rather arguing and making nasty comments about how others are whiny, complaining and stupid.No, I am here to tell it like it is.

if you dig into all of that here are a couple of sites that do a good job of consolidating all of the relevant quotes and such. one is firmly against the LDs position and the other is very supportive of the LDS position. between the two you get good verifiable references of what is and was taught.:Ok you got me there I had forgotten about McConkies comments even in Mormon Doctrine. by the way did you not quote something on one of these threads about the ensign being as good as the prophets voice or scripture. Something like that? I have been looking for that quote.
) these as well:I wouldnāt have a conversation with you regarding theology until you came down off that pinacle you have placed yourself on.
You donāt make sense. Sorry, I havenāt a clue what you are talking about. Will quit the debate if you canāt talk better sense.
Thank you for these links. I have been to some of these sites but have not investigated the Catholicism angle. I already know I will agree with you on the article you mention and Nibley. I have never understood how Catholicism has been so made to appear so small before Constantine. I have never found that and in fact have found nothing but support for the Catholic faith. I was a convert to the LDS faith from Catholicism and never noticed those things, but then I never went looking either.if you dig into all of that here are a couple of sites that do a good job of consolidating all of the relevant quotes and such. one is firmly against the LDs position and the other is very supportive of the LDS position. between the two you get good verifiable references of what is and was taught.:

I think the pro_LDS article makes a fatal error in āassumingā that the Catholic church wasnāt Roman or even a cohesive church before Constantine. I completely disagree with Nibley that Rome was āsmall potatoesā before that time. Further I think the ECF writings available to us today prove that the doctrines have remained constant from NT to the present and thus the whole apologetic argument based on that seems irrelevant.
as to the GAās words being doctrine and the ensign conference report like scripture:
here is a quick collection of quotes on that:

hopefully that will give you enough to make an objective analysis.
