diglot Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) I recently made a comment on a blog saying, "Yes, the foundational belief of the Christian faith is that God resurrected Jesus from the dead as Lord. Everything else is just commentary."I feel like I remember reading somewhere that Joseph Smith said something similar, but Google searching is not yielding any fruit. Can anyone provide me with the actual quote and/or reference to where he said something like this. Thanks! Edited December 1, 2011 by diglot

bluebell Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) "The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it."I see Rivers beat me to it....

diglot Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Yes, that is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks!

volgadon Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 It is important to remember that The Second Coming will touch down in the place this whole mess began, the Garden of Eden, in Jackson County Missouri need2Balive cried over his shoulder, as he rode off into the distant sunset on Gospel, his faithful steed. 2
bluebell Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 And these other appendages are either truths or they are lies.No.They are either true or false. Something can be false without being a lie. There are a lot of beliefs that you have that i believe are completely false, but i don't believe they are lies. I don't have to demonize your beliefs to disagree with them. 1

I don't have to demonize your beliefs to disagree with them.Words are interesting aren't they? One can totally change the meaning of something with a word, and those who don't like the church tend to use the words which give the most negative view. Pejoratives seem to be the pastime of those who can't counter arguments rationally so have to attack the intent or character of a thing.
