What a silly example. Luther was clearly not speaking about religion or doctrines of the Lutheran church.
What you, and other Mormons would have us believe, is that sometimes when Smith or other Mormon prophets are speaking about religious issues, they aren't really speaking a prophets.
How are we to know when they are speaking as prophets?
Apparently it's up to the random professing mormon in the year 2015 to believe whatever they want!
Being a woman discussing your faith is only important to Vizio. He choice of words is interesting.
He did not choose, a woman on the internet claiming to be Mormon.
He did not choose , aperson claiming to be a woman, claiming to be a Mormon.
He chose, some woman. It shows a bias. I like when people show themselves.
Well...ya know....fundamentalists believe women shouldn't be in the pulpit. It must burn their biscuits to be corrected by a strong, intelligent woman of faith.
No he did not. You've interpreted what he said to mean that, but he never said that.
Hold on just a minute, Vizio. I asked, "Jesus wasn't from this planet either, Vizio. What does that mean He was?" And your answer was:
Quote:
He isn't from a planet near the star Kolob. Or the star itself.
Whether you're talking about Jesus Christ or God the Father, the answer is the same: He isn't from a planet near the star Kolob and He isn't from the star itself. He's from Heaven. The number of verses of scripture referring to Him as being in Heaven are in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Nobody is forcing an professing Mormon in the year 2015 to believe anything. The Church has, however, made it absolutely clear as to what constitutes official doctrine and what doesn't.
So is Mormonism more like Scientology than Christianity because I just went and read some articles and that is what we got from it here.
What I have realized from reading this thread is why all the hoopla about the possibility of Romney becoming President since he was a Mormon. I also get all the jokes now.

Maybe request a special area for Mormonism?
I do not get the jokes. If Mormons are also Christians why do you expect a separate forum?

I'm sure that if you believe everything you read, that's exactly the impression you would come away with. And if you're already thinking Vizio's on the right track, he'd definitely be the one with the answers.

Well, congratulations (about the jokes I mean). Better late than never, I guess. I actually didn't vote for Romney, since I don't agree with his politics, but that's just me. I pretty much don't let my religious beliefs interfere with my political positions.

Yeah, maybe a special area for Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, Jehovah's Witnesses, Disciples of Christ, Pentacostals, Seventh-day Adventists and all the rest. Or just one happy forum on Christianity as a whole, where we're all free to express our interpretation of Christian doctrines (and to tell each other we're going to go to hell).

If that were in fact the case, threads like this wouldn't exist. Given that Mormon doctrine has changed quite a bit over the years, it requires as official policy that anything said by a prior prophet can/will be trumped by the current prophet.

For the benefit of whom? Mormons do not have any problems with their doctrine. Disclaimers? For your benefit? Mine?
