ryuu_chan Priestley Those passages don't state that souls exist before people are born. What they imply is that God had a plan and a purpose for creating each individual. One must think up an idea, make a plan, before one can execute it. As for Judas, if he wasn't born, he would not have committed the sin of betraying the Son of Man. That is all. Not being born doesn't imply existence before birth. *shrug* I suppose they just speak to me differently. I'd be a little more concerned if various pastors hadn't only agreed with me, but taught it themselves. Not saying that I disagree with you. You're just right in addition to things I already hold true. smile
I wholeheartedly disapprove of this attitude. I could use the exact same approach to say, "Those passages show abortion is a sin." The passages clearly say neither, but if you accept the approach, it is legitimate.
ryuu_chan Fushigi na Butterfly I find the belief that America will be the new Zion to be quite interesting. What evidence do the LDS have for this belief? I think that it's based on something that was once said to Jospeh Smith, but my reading of the Book of Mormon was long, LONG ago and I'm not sure. Or, it could be the very idea that Jesus was last seen on earth in the Americas and therefore that is where his kingdom will be set up. Feel free to correct me though.
Of course, if you accept the made up history sponsored by the Mormon religion, I suppose logical inconsistencies are not that big of a leap.

Spike Zantren KraylorDePanthro 11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our [own]1 conscience, and allow all men the same privilege[,] let them worship how, where, or what they may. [Emphasis added] ...Did that just say what I think it said? Correct me if I'm wrong but did that just say that it's okay for Mormons to worship whatever they want as long as it's okay in their conscience? If not, someone please tell me what it really means. I'll correct you. It means that every Mormon claims the privilege of worshipping Almighty God as his/her conscience sees fit to do so. It also means that Mormons will allow other people the privilege of being free to choose whether or not to worship whatever they choose. It is a statement to say that Mormons will not infringe on a person's right to faith.

Thank you for clarifying.
