He did this by telling the Jews to let Gentiles join the church who were uncircumcised. Saying that although a man might have an uncircumcision of body, may he yet have a circumcision of heart. So that it's not a man's keeping of the law that makes him holy, but rather the heart's willingness to follow God. For all fall short of the glory of God, as all have different capabilities of doing things.<br><br>I find this wise on Paul's part because circumcision is a much more grievous procedure for adults than babies. So that I see no reason as to why to put such a grievous burden on a man to be of God's covenant people. Not saying that Gentiles should not be circumcised, or that Gentiles should not circumcise their children, but that the messiah died on the cross for the ungodly.<br><br>In retrospect, the LDS church should baptize smokers, alcoholics, etc. Not that people should do these sins, but that we should not bank someone's salvation based upon their ability to keep the commandments. For even David spoke of the blessedness of the man who is saved by grace without any good works, saying, "Blessed is the man whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not hold responsible for sin."<br><br>So yeah... I freaking love the apostle Paul man!

Are the changes inspired? Will they instruct a man into righteousness? OR.... Are they just man's idea that leads us further astray?<br><br>I have no problem with change, it's errors I have problems with. And not being open about making changes to scripture is a huge error on the church's part. Although at the same time, I can't imagine proclaiming on the pulpit every minor adjustment you've ever made to the church. Not that there's some things they should not make known, just that I know times are ever changing and it's sometimes hard to keep up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223497504999189608.post-16506906299532225262013-03-11T14:35:36.256-07:002013-03-11T14:35:36.256-07:00Fred: "You are a fool if you think new techno...Fred: "You are a fool if you think new technology should replace working technology just because it is new"<br><br>Strawman. I never said it should replace it just because it is new. I said their excuse that the printing masters is the catalyst for these present changes is a lame excuse because they already have everything in digital format (and have for years) so that there's no need to change anything just because the printing masters are old. They're old, ok, and so you just shift to printing from the digital copy. Fine. But the need to do editing adjustments is the priority. The church makes it sound as though it's all because of the printing masters wearing out. That's a lame excuse.<br>David Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357179418131851128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223497504999189608.post-9742719414499764022013-03-11T14:03:48.536-07:002013-03-11T14:03:48.536-07:00(The LDS church treats history like a canal boat. ...(The LDS church treats history like a canal boat. <br>They can raise the water or lower it at will, allowing <br>some claims passage and others to be dry-docked.)<br><br><br>I see you have as poor knowledge of how a lock on a canal works as you have in your understanding of the LDS Church.

The printing offices that have been printing the LDS Scripture sets have been in business for a long time. It is only good money sense to keep using technology that works and is still cost efficative. Since the 30-year-old technology for printing the scriptures was working well, no change was needed. As stated, the 30-year-old printing masters have finally shown enough ware to need updating.<br><br><br><br>You are a fool if you think new technology should replace working technology just because it is new.<br><br>fred<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223497504999189608.post-56731092801006922422013-03-11T13:29:01.800-07:002013-03-11T13:29:01.800-07:00The idea that the BoA was not a literal translatio...The idea that the BoA was not a literal translation but an 'inspired' one is one i heard decades ago. That JS saw the egyptian papyrii and while looking at it got a revelation from god (the BoA). So it doesnt have to match any actual translation.<br><br>The place where that goes belly-up is when JS 'translated' the pictures and put them in the book as real translations.

There are only a few options to choose from. One is, ‘if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, etc, then it’s a duck.’ In other words, there is a plethora of very tenable data that would be well within in the bounds to conclude ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that the LDS church is not what is has always claimed -- that JS was a true prophet called by a the one and only divine, resurrected Jesus Christ (to mention this one claim). There is just too much very questionable historical data, (the non sanitized versions) to think otherwise; to think (as do the LDS apologists), “Well, it’s possible that it still actually may not be a duck as we understand what a duck is.”<br><br>Another option is that the church was established by the one and only true God the Son, Jesus Christ, but has since gone into apostasy (as did the Nephite church recorded in the BofM). This would mean that the non-perfect leaders of the LDS church -- the ‘Brethren’, are leading the church the astray by not being up-front and truthful (to mention just 0ne reason for their disqualification as worthy priesthood holding ‘true’ living prophets, seers, and revelators). So sure, people are not perfect, even ‘true’ prophets of God, but when those ‘true’ prophets no longer are truthful time after time, I can no longer sustain them.
