It is not NECESSARILY racist. Joel Send a noteboard - 04/10/2011 04:39:33 PM
we're just surprised that anyone still clings to idiotic, racist bullshit like that, or would admit to it....

I mean, what, does he think that Jesus was a blond Aryan man, too? :rolleyes:

Just like people who think Jews have been punished for disobeying Mosaic law, rejecting Christ or [your unforgivable sin here] are not necessarily Anti-Semitic or approving of the Jews undeniable hardship over the past 2500 years or so. Again, it can simply be an attempted explanation rather than attempted justification.

Are you trying to suggest that "Reformed" or some other brand of scientology is plausible? Joel - 04/10/2011 04:28:40 PM 1243 Views

Please explain why you think we should consider you Christians. Tom - 03/10/2011 04:33:06 PM 1379 Views
you know, that does make me wonder though LadyLorraine - 03/10/2011 04:58:21 PM 1256 Views
We're not as immovable as we are sometimes portrayed. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 05:27:17 PM 1228 Views
"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 1243 Views

Point of Anal Retentive Dissent: Joel - 04/10/2011 03:54:00 PM 1161 Views
That concept is alien to the Christian theological understanding, however. Tom - 03/10/2011 10:18:55 PM 1248 Views
I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 1192 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 1243 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 1187 Views
thank you, both of you LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 01:46:05 PM 1183 Views

Was the twin banging and the gay wedding the same event? Joel - 04/10/2011 06:36:03 PM 1267 Views
Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1253 Views
I don't think there's much of a difference in crazy as opposed to other more mainstream religions. Vivien - 04/10/2011 07:08:06 PM 1219 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 1214 Views
Then why can't women be priests? Or enter the altar? The curse on Eve is very much in place. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:27:04 AM 655 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 1161 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 689 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 682 Views

Wikipedia confirms what I already thought: you're off base with the monophysitism. Legolas - 07/10/2011 12:06:40 AM 1479 Views
I had not realized it was that late, but used it only as an example of multitudinous controversies. Joel - 07/10/2011 01:03:56 AM 1600 Views
Monophysites, miaphysites, monothelites, etc. certainly accept the consubstantiality of God/Christ Larry - 07/10/2011 11:58:05 AM 1184 Views
Virtually everyone has a more sound Christology than Mormons. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:45:45 PM 1210 Views
Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Joel - 08/10/2011 05:30:38 PM 1219 Views
I can see that with the Monothelites (can see their appeal, in fact,) but not Monophysites. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:43:27 PM 1149 Views
Tempting as it is to prove Joel wrong (since he so frequently is), I need to take issue with this. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:59:13 PM 1229 Views
I was just saying there were competing views. Gher - 07/10/2011 07:49:26 PM 1614 Views
Oh, there were definitely competing views, just not competing Christian views. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:26:22 PM 1128 Views
That sounds really nice. Vivien - 04/10/2011 06:38:29 PM 1230 Views
