Seth is very pro-LDS. He does do quite a bit of reading between the lines though.

Make up your mind. You say you are thankful no one is "harassing" you, yet you are on here going on about how no one has reached out to you. Will anything actually satisfy you??

Sounds like someone is off his meds.

I’m a male btw And here I thought trolls were non-binary. Learn something new everyday. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am fairly positive He lives on the planet where He lived out His mortality- just as Jesus will reside here.

Because scientists in general have immense scholarly pride and are very slow to adopt new ideas. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ad populum.

The caricature is that we are literally going to have our own planet in which we dwell, separate from all other Gods- not that we will be participants in creating worlds (which we have never denied, and are what the quotes you have cited teach). Those from this earth who inherit exaltation will dwell on this planet with others who have inherited exaltation from this planet. We won't each go our separate directions and dwell on our own planets.

If I am remembering correctly and understanding Stine correctly- anyone under 16 is not culpable and wouldn't fall under the excommunication.

I had the exact same questions! Whereas we have membership records that travel with us, and we are assigned to the congregation for our geographical area- Catholics seem a bit more "open borders" (so to speak) about where to go to church. How would they track who's been going where?

Stine estimated the attached laity at between 700k - Million

I would need to relisten, but I think it has to do with the blanket excommunication of everyone associated with the SSPX. Stine defends SSPX but does not regularly attend there. He might be a more FSSP (?) guy.

So Stine is wrong that the punishment against the SSPX is harsher then the punishment against the Orthodox?

From the same chapter... "26... I said concerning faith—that it was not a perfect knowledge—even so it is with my words. Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge. 27 But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words. 28 Now, we will compare the word unto a seed..."
