This thread is to present and explain LDS beliefs, teachings and doctrines, not to abuse and denigrate them. No one has, or is, being forced to participate in this LDS thread.
Oh, that's adorable dear.
This a thread on a forum dedicated to skepticism. The whole POINT of a thread here is to question and probe every nook and cranny. You can't dictate a change in forum policy and intent just by registering for a user account and starting a thread. You, and your religion, simply aren't that special.
Can you answer my questions yourself?
Putting theology into one's own words necessitates comprehension beyond repetition. I have seen no indication she can put more than the most basic of concepts into her own words.
This is just closed-minded preaching. There's no debate going on here.
A mind lacking depth of comprehension cannot be open to new ideas, or assess challenges to ideas already held.
Do you have any opinions of your own?
So, no. Janadele has ceded all thought and analysis to the LDS elders, except when she's rather ignore LDS doctrine. For example:
Shalamar :
Gender is an eternal characteristic.
If you are willing to break with LDS doctrine on that, why are you so attached to LDS doctrine on other matters?
Gender is not a factor in the preexistence. Gender is determined, randomly, at birth. The eternal "binding" so commonly associated with celestial marriage and used to justify polygamy was mixed gender from the beginning of the Mormon faith, with employers binding their employees to them in some examples.
Check out "The Development of the Doctrine of the Preexistence" by Charles Harrell for more information.
Those who wish to abide by Eternal Law have a right to do so without harassment from those who do not.
And yet you have broken with LDS doctrine in the quote above.
