He should have known man would abuse scripture for their own selfish acts. Your reply seems to indicate you believe that part was man-made and not what God actually doled out as punishment for Eve. Why is it a shame for Moses (according to Joseph Smith) to write "Unto the woman, I, the Lord God, said: I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children, and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee" ? Are there other 'shame' parts of scripture that you believe should not be there?

Brigham Young Brigham does not inspire confidence in the Bible. Evidentially is seems to me the entire Bible is from men and not God. And if God was involved the men who wrote were certainly putting a lot of their own ideas and culture in there. 1 Link to comment

Which is why we must go by the spirit alone in seeing what is there, and not be critical that none of it, NONE OF IT, is science OR history, but spiritual ideas, to be judged by the spirit, and by the spiritual reactions they provide Link to comment

I didn't mean it that way, but man, was I unclear and too terse about saying it that way!! I guess all I meant was that it is Jesus-Jehovah who created the universe AND us, is still an embodied human who has an exalted human physical brain which somehow must function infinitely above ours. It is very important to me to believe that humanity has infinite potential- and that's why we are here. THAT is what I was looking for in a church and here I found one that emphasizes that , while also NOT preaching that we are born evil, and all that through Jesus Christ. What a truly AMAZING package of paradigms we have! It's found nowhere else!! To have an intellectual AND spiritual testimony testimony?? WOW !! Edited May 11, 2021 by mfbukowski 4 Link to comment

Yes, the church teaches all of the prophets of the OT and BoM were real people.
