So why even study the out-dated scriptures, to see what changes have been made to the scriptures?

I remember lessons on how far-sighted God is an how he is the same yesterday, today and tommorrow.

Or does he change his mind every other day?

So again Mormons, which is it?

So when is he going to change his mind about garments?

Elohim was some ancient version of the typical LDS priesthood holder before earning his god badge. He mistakes feelings for knowledge, suffers fits of stupidity, has a fragile ego, and never admits he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

and they get this kind of god and a church, anchored with this kind of certainty:

Maybe.

It depends.

Could be true, could very well be true.

Has to be interpreted in light of the times.

We don't know, the GA's know and when it's time, they'll tell us.


I've been told all of these things.

Yeah, this argument is just pure BS.

It's a statement thrown out by an ignorant mormon.

I've found in my travels that mormons are very ignorant scholarship wise when it comes to the Bible.

They have no business talking about the Bible, period.

They spend too much time with their noses in the BOM, D&C and mostly, in other people's business.

(That is a generalization, there a *few* mormon scholars, but very few. The rank and file are generally ignorant)

Man changes. God stays the same. What God says to man may alter based on the man. For example, if a man chooses to be wicked, God's response/instructions will differ than if man chooses to be righteous. Good common sense, right?

That's of course, if you believe in God.

I have absolutely no experiences with the US version of the LDS.
I can only say what I experienced in good old Europe.

For me is it remarkable how the church official teaching and ruling changes. Much more remarkable for me is, that in the true and only Church from ward to ward, from Stake to Stake sometimes the truth warries. It was for example quiet an experience to switching the mind between that what in Church was they teach between Salzburg and Munich.
Every of the big priesthood holders makes his own stuff up. For me is this very remarkable.

God in Mormonism?
To they actually talk about God? I mean more than they are 2 Persons +1 with flesh and bone?
For me was it always irritating that the picture from a plural Good did not even fit in the LDS stories.
May be that’s me and only me and may be I am wrong but this is what I always thought.
