@freedomwriter76

That’s awesome! Your far better than me in that regard, I haven’t been writing too much lately😅

@freedomwriter76

I’ve been thinking about my conlangs lately. What about you?

@freedomwriter76

Of course:)

@freedomwriter76

That’s a great question! There’s a lot of different ideas floating around within that question, so I’ll do my best to explain.

Taking the question for face value, the answer is not really (Though I can’t speak for everyone in my faith, but I can say that it isn’t regarded as doctrine). That being said, there is a lot we do…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Yes. I know many people stick to certain denominations, and I have nothing against it, but for me personally, it isn’t something I’d prefer.

Yeah, and that’s great. We are all on our own separate paths in making covenants to the Lord. As long as we are sincerely and humbly seeking Him out, He will reveal His truths to us line upo…[Read more]

@livingwoodchronicles
Amazing you got featured in a newspaper that’s so cool!

@ava-blue

Thanks, that means a lot!

That’s actually not how the LDS Church works, Very different culture in that regard😅 We are a single worldwide church, united under (what we believe as) divine priesthood authority, having modern day prophets, seers, and revelators. Though there are a small handful of split off groups from when the Church was…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. I’m excited to hear your thoughts though!

@thearcaneaxiom

Yup although a lot of my original response has already been answered by the things later discussed in the forum

@folith-feolin

Oh, btw, are you still working on a response for our earlier discussion?

You have a good point especially considering we basically have not records from the middle ages

@keilah-h

The first dinosaur bones were found in 1647 and to give you a reference as to when 1500 and 1600 are based upon commonly known historical events:

1096 – The first Crusade

1337-1453  – Hundred Years War

1400s-1500s  – Italian Renaissance

1618-1648 – 30 years war

I really don’t think it likely there were dinosaurs in the 14th or…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 @whalekeeper

That is a really good thing to stress Freedom, and I’m really glad you did. Whale, your awesome, and I hope you know that none of us are trying to shoot you down. I have an immense respect for whoever will say what they believe, knowing full well that they may be attacked. What I’ve been trying to strike home in all…[Read more]

@folith-feolin @keilah-h

It’s very true, and like I said, that’s a very valid point, there are many artworks long before the roman empire as well, but these newer ones are simply there, and they haven’t been shown to be forgery yet, so say we do take it as valid, then what does it mean? Perhaps the romans did talk about them, but we didn’t…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m saying 500 ad was considerable to recent to say that dinosaurs existed at the Sam time as humans just because well Jesus was born around 5 AD and the Roman Empire fell in 476 AD and as the Romans did a ridiculous amount of writing down things and were one of the first cultures to have written histories I think we would know d…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

I never necessarily said it does, it’s just one of many examples that suggest the idea. though I don’t really follow the question. Are you just talking about how 500AD is way too recent to believe that dinosaurs were around that time, and simply got scrubbed from history? If so, that is a valid point, and I honestly don’t know, but…[Read more]

That’s interesting. My one question is if it is a cathedral in England how exactly does that prove the dinosaurs thing. (Cause like if it’s a cathedral in England it would have to be post 596 AD.

@folith-feolin

That is interesting! Very similar to the first one mentioned in the book, which was a different painting, but might have a similar explanation. He actually showed a similar x-ray technology used in a very different artwork in the Carlisle Cathedral in England, and it showed two very distinct species of sauropods with linked…[Read more]

well apparently using that xray stuff I mentioned earlier they figured out it actually originally looked like this:

Not a dragon 😭

Also this version would have aligned with the styles of the paintings in the surround area. Interesting right.

@thearcaneaxiom

(I looked it up)

so the painting was not debunked as a forgery rather that it was misinterpreted.

This is what it looks like currently

dinosaur right?

(note the white line was drawn around the image at a later date when it was originally found (there was this whole thing about drawing a chalk line around cave painting back…[Read more]
