TAO Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Today's characteristically vicious assault on those who disagree with me:http://www.mormontim...faith-and-trustI like it =). Very nice, imo... not sure many will agree, but I like it, that I do. Link to comment
Mortal Man Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The little child swept out to sea and the elderly woman slowly dying of thirst under concrete rubble have no hope. Life, for them, ends horribly, and then there is nothing.Yup, and afterwards they're no worse off than before they existed. Link to comment

Scott Lloyd Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I was out of town for the past few days, but don't want to neglect my unceasing campaign of shameless self-promotion.So here, albeit a bit late, is a link to my most recent "Mormon Times" article:http://www.mormontimes.com/article/20199/Getting-the-most-out-of-church-meetingsA well-articulated piece, Daniel.Not intending to denigrate other faith groups, I will say I have often mused that we follow the New Testament model in this regard more closely than do those with the "formally trained pulpit orators." That said, I think our rank-and-file on average tend to acquit themselves well as public speakers, largely because of on-the-job training received in a do-it-yourself church, as it were.

Daniel Peterson Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yet another column, this one an unashamed advertisement:http://www.mormontimes.com/article/20278/Serving-God-with-our-minds Link to comment
Nathair/|\ Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yet another column, this one an unashamed advertisement:http://www.mormontim...-with-our-mindsVery nice. I'm working on an essay concerning the question in the psalm you quoted, "What is man?" I'm even quoting the next verse, as well as 82:6. Do you, perchance, know if the proverb attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, "Know ye not that ye are gods," is really part of the Hermetic literature, or if it is merely a Dan Brown type creation? Yours under the alchemic oaks,Nathair /|\ Link to comment
Daniel Peterson Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Another shameless advertisement, but also something I'm pretty passionate about:http://www.mormontimes.com/article/20411/The-Internet-aids-missionary-effort Link to comment
Mortal Man Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Accordingly, Elder Ballard asked ordinary individual members to "join the conversation by participating on the Internet to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration." Unfortunately, this has resulted in thousands of half-baked apologists running amok, disavowing virtually every point of church doctrine. Link to comment

Daniel Peterson Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 There was a discussion somewhere here on this board a week or two ago, and somebody wondered whether I would write about Holy Week in my column.

Daniel Peterson Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 A bit late because I'm on the road -- and am heading altogether out of the United States tomorrow morning -- but here is my column from last Thursday:http://www.mormontimes.com/article/20566/The-days-leading-up-to-Easter-SundayOn an Easter theme, of course. My little crusade continues, to persuade Mormons to do more to celebrate Easter. Link to comment

My little crusade continues, to persuade Mormons to do more to celebrate Easter.Well, I tried to do my part but the Mormons you speak of would not be persuaded. I am pleased that you used my opening quote for your conclusion. Were you trying to construct a chiasmus from the combination of our articles?But the testimony of the Four Gospels, of the first apostles, of the early Christians, of Christian believers throughout the centuries and of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his apostolic successors is that, early on Sunday morning, the stone had been rolled away and the tomb was empty.Yes, the testimonies of the Four Gospels, first apostles etc. are certainly vital to the historicity of the empty tomb. What sage advice would you give to those struggling to make sense of the scriptural accounts? Should Mormon apologists take up the cause or should they leave it entirely up to Evangelical scholars?

Bill “Papa” Lee Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I've just added a third relevant "Mormon Scholars Testify" link, to the testimony of Gordon A. Madsen, in the opening post, above:http://mormonscholarstestify.org/1477/gordon-a-madsenHave my friends ever responded? BTW, now that you have Susan Easton Black, I like you much more and your site...she is too cool. Link to comment

Daniel Peterson Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 This week's entry:http://www.mormontimes.com/article/21120/The-story-behind-James-Strang-and-his-sect?s_cid=rss Link to comment
Mortal Man Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 That some Book of Mormon witnesses credited Strang argues for their sincerity, incidentally: Had they been knowing perpetrators of a fraud with Joseph Smith, they would likely have been far more skeptical of Strang.What stunning logic.So lemme see, if I were caught red-handed and hauled into court on fraud charges, and my crime were linked to an identical previous crime, I should be declared innocent of the earlier crime because there's no way I'd do the same thing twice?

Mortal Man Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 You and your chiasmus.You're almost there Molabut it needs a little more.The extra bit requiredwill get you to the door. Link to comment
frankenstein Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I read the article, and it seemed more "We are right because you are wrong, and I just showed you how you are wrong". I was disappointed with the article. Though I appreciate the history shared. Link to comment
