Now, there is nothing wrong with disagreeing with any religion on this large planet of ours, posters. However, you must remember the TOS, terms of service. Do not engage in malicious bashing of religious figures using insults and the like, try to keep things civil, read your guidelines if you are a new poster, refrain from trying to purposely flame people etc.... Discuss whatever spiritual views you have but within a framework that doesn't entail blatant bigotry, or a crass attack on figures or the like... Purposely doing so over and over involves establishing a clear pattern in the minds of others that you are not being a responsible person or teacher, because you are ignoring the terms of service and don't care about being civil. Engage in diverging views whether you are an atheist, a Christian, a Buddhist or what have you, it's just disgusting pictorials of figures, bashing people, because they don't conform to your personal beliefs can be problematic. There is a difference between those who don't do intentionally and those who do it maliciously. There is no need for it.

I think that it's best to utlilize the rare human form of life to try to understand God and our relationship with Him by following the teachings and personal example of great empowered souls like Jesus.

By associating with spiritually qualified people who have great faith, one will naturally also develop faith and follow devotional principles.

Agnostics and hard-core materialists who insist on physical evidence before following any devotional process will eventually see the evidence at the time of death - but it's not going to be a heavenly (or transcendental) experience...

The problem with Mormons is that they based their religion upon a previous religion to give it more validity. They say that they follow the standard Christian bible but in fact they base the entire religion upon the Book of Mormon. There has never been any evidence of Christ accending to heaven and coming to the new world. There is evidence (of a sort) that proves the existence of Christ...but nothing
substantuates what the book of mormon teaches.
I have read the book of mormon and if I was to write a new bible, and had only been educated on the original bible, then I would write it like they did. They tried to copy the feel and style of the original.

PS: You will never believe in God without first having a personal experience. You cannot convince someone through words. It is an experience that is unique and personal. Many Christians don't really believe in a deep way..they just go through the motions. you need to find you own God and in fact cannot borrow someone else's.

I have the following questions for Mormons to answer:

1: If the original 1830 Book of Mormon was inspired than why were there so many errors and changes and additions and deletions, when compared to current editions?

2: Why does the B of M use old KJV type English at a time when it was not currently used.

3: Why is about 1/8th of the B of M copied directly from the KJV (1611AD) when it was alleged to have been written some 1200-2000 years before the KJV existed?

4: Joseph Smith deleted the italicized words in the KJV because he knew they were not in the original. "Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips" Isa 6:5, The words "is & am" are deleted in the Book of Mormon.

5: How can we be assured that the translation of the B of M into French is correct?

6: How do you account for the stunning parallels in both content and order between the B of M and the View of the Hebrews, by Ethan Smith? Published in 1923 (7 years before the B of M) less than 100 miles from the Joseph Smith's parents home.

7: Why did the angel take Nephi Plates back to heaven? Do they not belong with man?

8: Mormon Article of Faith #8: "We Believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God." Why do you only add the phrase, "as far as it is translated correctly" to describe the Bible and not after the book of Mormon when in fact there are far more translating errors in the Book of Mormon than the Bible?

9. Why does DNA evidence show native Americans migrated from north east Asia not Israel?

how do the mormons explain this point of DNA evidence now?

Although I would like to wait for our Mormon friends on this site to answer that question here is something I googled. It's a response from a Mormon Microbiologist(B.S. in Microbiology and two years of graduate work in Virology and Physiology)

It is an amazing argument. It shows so much about human psychology.

He admits the subjective factor. His reasons relate more to an emotional strain from within a community than they do with anything that would transcend that provincial view.

I use the word "transcend" intentionally. The search for Truth is "spiritual," if we use the word stripped of it's superstitious baggage. Hence, such a spirituality that would in this manner hold out for "better science" is an inferior spirituality.
