Re: Why don't they have anything approaching a formal theology? CaptainHammer Send a noteboard - 04/10/2011 05:23:12 PM
Well, for highschool students we have a seminary class where we study the the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants. Collage students have a thing called Institute. Im not sure how it works though, I've only been to seminary classes. Also, in our meetings on Sunday, we have teachers who teach us about Christ and His plan for us. There are manuals to help them teach as well. I hope that answers your question.

Are you trying to suggest that "Reformed" or some other brand of scientology is plausible? Joel - 04/10/2011 04:28:40 PM 1086 Views

We're not as immovable as we are sometimes portrayed. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 05:27:17 PM 1089 Views
"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 1074 Views

Point of Anal Retentive Dissent: Joel - 04/10/2011 03:54:00 PM 994 Views
That concept is alien to the Christian theological understanding, however. Tom - 03/10/2011 10:18:55 PM 1083 Views
I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 1028 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 1052 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 1045 Views
thank you, both of you LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 01:46:05 PM 1031 Views

Was the twin banging and the gay wedding the same event? Joel - 04/10/2011 06:36:03 PM 1111 Views
Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1110 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 1075 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 1060 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 576 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 1006 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 626 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 588 Views

Monophysites, miaphysites, monothelites, etc. certainly accept the consubstantiality of God/Christ Larry - 07/10/2011 11:58:05 AM 1013 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 981 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 1069 Views
I was just saying there were competing views. Gher - 07/10/2011 07:49:26 PM 1456 Views
