The originating post was off topic to this thread, as are all responses to it.

WTF? Your OP was off topic? How the? What the? Stundie.

 

[Janadele]

The moderators don't seem to think so. So -- it all stays until they decide otherwise.

and I choose to not further respond to the continuing off topic questions originating from it.

 

[jsfisher]

But I do not have to respond to the continuing off topic questions.

How about responding to the plagiarism question, then? Thirteen chapters from Isaiah--that's a bit much, don't you think?

The topic in question is "LDS", raised by you. One would think you had something substantive to say about it, since you raised the topic.

 

[Olowkow]

Religion. Downright depressing if you ask me.

No, Janadele's referring to a post that sparked a sub-conversation she no longer wishes to follow, having already caught herself in a contradiction within it. By "off-topic" she means to evoke the age-old OP rule of "I started the thread, I have unilateral control over what topics are pertinent."

Although either of these would be fair grounds for contest, the general thread opinion seems to lean toward letting her have her way, as there are more fruitful/entertaining topics to pursue, e.g. the "negro" question, and those keeping score will likely be awarding the point regardless.

jsfisher: I have no idea to what you are refering in the above post. I stand by my previous posts, which you have misunderstood either deliberately or accidently.

You can continue to try and obfuscate this matter as much as you like but you'll never succeed in distracting people from 'your' refusal to answer a simple yes or 'no' question.


In a nutshell:

When you say god, you are talking about the one you think, created immorality, evil and wickedness, right?

No.

Janadele, the bible (Isaiah 45:7) is quite clear that God created evil. Is the bible wrong?

Janadele... Is the bible wrong?

Unfortunately, there are many mistranslations in the Bible in use today, it is only true as far as it has been translated correctly.

Are you claiming, then, that this:

Isaiah 45:7

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.​

is a mistranslation?

If so, then:

1. how do you know, and
   
   
2. what is the correct translation?

<snip>

Nonetheless, you have recognized that the KJV's Isaiah 45:7 is in conflict with your earlier statement. Good for you! However, now that you have been told the JST version is absolutely no different, will you be re-spinning?

jsfisher: I have no idea to what you are refering in the above post. I stand by my previous posts, which you have misunderstood either deliberately or accidently.

What Joseph Smith had to say about the matter is irrelevant.

Is the Bible wrong about who created evil or not?

The originating post from asydhouse was off topic to this thread, as are all responses to it.

You had no trouble responding to it until the discussion led to queries that apparently make you feel uncomfortable.

I'm starting to feel the rather unpleasant suspicion that you do feel that Christians should dictate the behavior of non-Christians.

 

[Akhenaten]

As you are aware, the Prophet Joseph Smith was murdered before he was able to complete the Translation.

What's your excuse for the 'translation' of the Book of Abraham being completely bogus?

Already answered.

All Christian Scriptures in original form have the same source of inspiration.

That's not responsive. Read his question again.

 

[Janadele]

You had no trouble responding to it...

One momentary response before remembering the topic of the thread.

 

[RandFan]

skyrider, would you please address slowvehicle's post? It is post #3626.

Just out of curiosity, what do you believe the topic of the thread to be?

Goodness, really? What was the tip off? Mentioning the "Satanic agenda" of those with "anti-God immorality" is such a subtle point. It can mean so many different things, depending on context.

 

[SezMe]

skyrider44, your colons are back. Why do you insert them into quotes? I've asked previously and others expressed some interest so I'm unable to understand why you don't have the courtesy to respond. Is it some secret Mormon doctrine about "Thy shalt not leave unused colons lying around."?

How do you know which post she refers to?

I know that Janadele is so very busy researching and writing her own well thought out answers to so many other questions so I wanted to help her out by fully answering this question so she can plow ahead with her other efforts.

The topic is "Things About LDS That Don't Make Me Think". Please stay on topic. Thank you.
