Tonight's TBR.com Religious Question of the Night

Right. But if memory serves, the verse about the Bible being "finished" and not to be amended or updated is in the book of Revelation, which is credited to John. That's what I was asking.

 

Not exactly. He had "an experience". He claims to have been visited by 2 angels (I think) who showed him where the gold plates were that had the Book of Mormon on them. The funny thing is, according to a theology professor I once heard, the Book of Mormon is written in about half a dozen different writing styles and is closer to a collection of bits and pieces from other world religions than an appendix to the Bible. Don't know if that's true or not, though, as I haven't read the BOM for myself yet.

Not to my knowledge.

Correct.

In a way, yes, but not exactly. The difference in the New Testament is that the inspired writings of the apostles are expansions of the original teachings of Jesus. Revelation, is a written account of a dream/visitation/supernatural experience that John had, so in that way it's very similar to the experiences of Joseph Smith and Muhammad. The difference is that Revelation is all prophecy of what's yet to come. There is no way to verify it, because it hasn't happened yet. The Qur'an and the BOM claim to be both history and prophecy, both what was, what is, and what is yet to come.

Correct. Revelation was written by John while he was in exile on the isle of Patmos. He was the only apostle besides Judas who wasn't tortured to death.

 

You do have a good point there and yes I definitely oversimplified it - specifically for lack of space. I could clarify it well but that would require more space than anyone is up to reading on the matter.

 

Yep, I'm sure doctoral dissertations have been published on less complicated issues.

 

THey shouldnt be because they are vile people who have nothing but destruction of diversity on their mind. Oh and the hot girls probably had weird jump suits on under their clothes...they have to wear them until marriage.

 

I need me some hot mormon twat.

 

mmmmmm, I've had me some of that good mormon stuff. But she admitted that she wasn't a very good mormon.

Actually her family was very religious, and talked about going to an "enlightened one" and crazy shit like that. I guess the enlightened one is the first one to know that it's all bullshit.

 

The mormons don't believe that Jesus is God...All Christian religions believe that it is as Jesus said "The Father and I are One"

 

women should be allowed more than one husband. it just ain't fair

 

You would have to split the divorce money though.
