The Church of Latter Day Saints is the official name for Mormons, right?

That is correct. We don’t really like the nickname though, because it takes away the focus from Christ. Mormon we respect as a great prophet who compiled the plates, but this is the Lord’s church, not his.

So, does the third mean you do not agree with infant…

Ey, I can say something in a round-about way, and it can still be completely logical. But that’s beside the point. I can’t see how any of those “contradictions,” as you put it, discard the infallibility of those passages’ meanings. If the different disciples wrote Jesus’ words with slightly different grammar, that is a matter of m…

I have thoughts 😝 But I need to take a shower first, so like, don’t drive y’all’s trains into walls while I’m gone

See you then!

The whole lot of y’all are pastor kids, that’s awesome! Do your Dads study ancient Hebrew, modern, or both?

@freed_and_redeemed

But if their hands wrote mistakes/faults, then how can we know it’s true? If it’s possible that there are many, many mistakes in the Bible simply because it was written by man, then why not deny every bit of Scr…

I had to google a definition of infallible for this, so hopefully I understand what you are talking about. I think that all of the stories and ideas in the Bible are true, but that there is room for error in things like spelling, and errors in translation. For example, Nebuchadnezzar is spelled two different ways in the Old…

We can’t know if it is or not, besides through the faith of the Spirit. But what is the most logical option?

If you take Biblical philosophy and try to find a verse that directly contradicts it, you aren’t going to find anything more than vaguer verses that have open-ended statements, or use a less conventional way of explaining som…

You’re both mistaking what I’m saying though. I’m not questioning if scripture is inspired by God either, I’m just open to the idea that scripture is written by imperfect hands, and therefore even when inspired by an infallible God, can be mistaken in some ways. Why do we have many gospels of Christ’s life instead of 1? Why do they…[Read more]

@trailblazer

No worries! I’m glad you here though!

@whalekeeper

I think this is what most would say yeah.

So here’s my question though, how do you know that scripture is infallible?

For me, I’m not taking the parts I like the best, I think that we need to consider all scriptures as the word of God, but I simply don’t think we can say that…[Read more]

Anyone want to discuss the idea of infallibility? I’d like to challenge the notion as a whole.

@kyronthearcanin

Hiii!!

I couldn’t find your website ☹️… I did see the rebellution page though…

I’m doing great! Just living and learning. Making very slow progression on my novel, but it’s coming together pleasantly. I’ve been trying to put a lot of focus on drawing and animating recently and I like how all that is going. So yeah, not too…[Read more]

@esther-c

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I’m so sorry I haven’t been around much…life just got so crazy and I haven’t had much time lately.

Writing has been really, really, slow…it’s kinda like I’m procrastinating and just being lazy but also genuinely confused and overwhelmed with my WIP!

Everything does make sense, and I’ll…[Read more]

@stephie

I’m good with tomorrow! Can’t wait!

@ava-blue

Thank you so much!! 😊 That really made my day! 💛💛

Ahh yay, and we’re back. I’m glad to know it wasn’t just my computer keeping me out.

@whalekeeper

Yay!!! You are alive! ngl was getting a little worried there lol.

Exactly… It definitely takes a few magical capabilities to be a forum moderator. 😅 Especially when the evil spam bots are constantly trying to take down precious Whaley. 😤 Not on my watch!

Okay okay. I think I might have fixed the problem?

For some reason, the WordPress system was flagging everyone’s posts as spam. Especially dear Whaley. 😭😭😭

If you are still having trouble posting let me know. Also, I’m going to be on here a lot more frequently so I’ll be able to nip the problem in the bud before it ever gets too out of hand like…[Read more]
