Man can you please answer some of my questions about Mormonism?

hmm, that's a hard question to answer because I wasn't there to experience it..but Peter and the other apostles likewise misunderstood the timing of gospel blessings to non-Israelites. Even following a revelation to Peter, many members of the early Christian Church continued to fight about this point and how to implement it—even Peter and Paul had disagreements. Yet, Bible-believing Christians, such as the Latter-day Saints, continue to consider both as prophet... and also we believe in prophets, and I also think (personal opinion) that God revealed that to us as a convenience, I'm not too sure why they weren't allowed to have it, probably because it the bible it say that those who didn't choose Christ we cursed with dark skin, now I'm definitely sure that doesn't apply now days...Originally Posted by badmoonRison

What's up with your boys not letting blacks be priests until the 70s? I asked another Mormon about this and he said that God all of a sudden decided it was time to let blacks be priests...please tell me that's not true
And do you really think Joseph Smith is legitimate? A guy that was an experienced scam artist and comes across these tablets, tablets that he thinks are some holy book and then he loses them? Also a guy that supposedly translated egyptian scrolls into another set of Mormon scriptures - while the scrolls were later translated to be funeral instructions for ancient Egypt? The more I hear about this dude the more ridiculous he sounds. Can you please shed some light?

True. But while I believe most big religions have some sort of ulterior agenda, the "invisible product" they're selling are essentially values which make living together in our massively interdependent society safer and better.

I actually think Missionaries are one of the better products of religion. Sure, they're annoying, but essentially, they're just people trying to spread happiness that they've found. You might not share their views, but you can't deny that they're trying to help.

Well, we (I'm actually leaving on a mission next month), we are only there to help others come onto christ, some missionaries will try there hardest to baptize people and they will throw there emotions in it... when that's not right, you can't be too attached cause not everyone is ready to receive the gospel as other people are, whatever missionaries you spoke too, (i'm assuming) weren't suppose to tell you that, your beliefs weren't good enough.

Everytime someone converts, most religions see it as a "saved soul." And, in religion's defense, I see nothing wrong with reaching out and attempting to teach others about the ways of a faith.
