  Dan,

  Elderwho, if one scripture from the Bible is not enough to corroborate truth then you're going to have to throw out a lot of mainstream Christian ideas

  If I try to illustrate one verse on a stand alone premise as you assert, to "corroborate" truth is a weak format. But this is what you do to defend your doctrine.Let alone develope it.

  Look at your words "if one scripture"...." is not enough" No Dan, one scripture is not enough. You should be the one subscribing to this. Didnt you state "Im not tied down to the Bible like ya'll" When in fact, you have "tied yourself down" with this verse.

  As the Jws do in Col. 1:15 to infer this means in a literal sense Jesus is firstborn. With no other scripture to corroborate this thought. Their are many other examples.

  This is exactly what you do with scripture ie. Baptism for the dead.

  Ask yourself. Is this practice taught in scripture? The answer is obvious.

  Another words you cannot develope this teaching from scripture.

  Once again, you put words in y mouth. It doesn't matter if there are three, one or negative eleven scriptures that support something in my church, we have continued revelation; we don't need anything to be in the Bible. We poit it out for your sake.. You guys are the ones that lean on sola scriptura, and I am pointing out the futility of that. Please stop trying to infer that I am shackled down by your religions' shortcomings. Does God have a body? What say you? Use scripture.

  You guys are the ones that lean on sola scriptura, and I am pointing out the futility of that.

  Every religion thinks they have the truth and that other religions use single scriptures here or there to support wrong conclusions.

  BTW, you do realize that almost everyone here is an ex-JW, right?

  Dan says,

  And if you would like to see just how seriously I take my Bible you are going to be seriously outmatched.

  And now you state;

  we don't need anything to be in the Bible.

  Why would you state that you take the Bible serious if you dont need it?

  Dan says that Section 132 refers to marriage. How in the world can you make such a statement? Every Mormon, from Joseph Smith and Brigham Young on down to 1890 have believed that this applied to polygamy. And it took a special revelation from President Wilford Woodruff to reverse this doctrine. As a matter of fact, there are still some fundamentalists today who practice polygamy and believe that Woodruff was responsible for leading the church into apostasy and, therefore, they had to restore the original pure teaching.

  Kenneson My question for Dan is this; if I'm a single Mormon (woman), of advanced age and I can't find a mate to marry (or to be sealed to) in the temple. Can't I choose a dead mate and marry him by proxy, even if he is already sealed to someone else? If not, won't I be denied exaltation (dammed)? D Dog

  elder, because I enjoy studying it. My major is ancient languages, and my minor has to do with theology.

  kenneson, I am tired of repeating this, but one more time: You know nothing of what I believe. Do not tell me what I believe, you are wrong. Only part of that section refers to polygamy, and I pointed it out to you. >>>>>>>>>>>"Dan says that Section 132 refers to marriage. How in the world can you make such a statement?

No they did not believe that the whole section applied to polygamy. They knew just as well as I know that it was not necessary for salvation. Never more than 3% of the Mormon church was involved in polygamy at any given point. Those aren't very good pot odds for the rest of the church if it was a must for salvation. Those "fundamentalists" are called "apostates," and their opinion is in no way indicative of what the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints believes, so please don't quote it like it is. Deputy Dog, no you would not be denied exaltation. That is not and never has been part of our doctrine. One more time for the cheap seats: YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE BELIEVE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW JUST ASK LIKE DEPUTY DOG DID. DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU ARE RIGHT AND I AM WRONG. DO NOT TELL ME YOU HAVE STUDIED IT MORE THAN ME. DO NOT TELL ME YOU HAVE ACCESS TO STUFF THAT I DO NOT. YOU DO NOT KNOW MY DOCTRINE BETTER THAN ME, SO SAVE IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

  Dan, So if I understand you correctly you don't need to be married in the temple to be come a god? Then who would be your wife and how would you have spirit children? D Dog

  Dan,

  You need only one scripture or verse to corroborate truth.

  Your not "tied down to scripture" like the rest of us.

  You dont need anything to be in the Bible.

  But you enjoy studying the Bible.

  Can you clarify this knid of reasoning?
