Rob, I was cleaning up my email in-box, and found a post that was only partially addressed by you; your response to my argument about Gen. 1 and 2 representing...
Hi everyone, I was recently asked to participate in a diolouge with Evangelical Ed Enochs. I've written a 1,500 word essay on why I am Mormon which is posted...
I also am not qualified to be the non-trinitarian rep. However, I do disagree with Sam (sorry Sam) that the non-trinitarian view would seem weak biblically....
Rob, (I gave this same response on evan&LDS) I am not qualified to be the non-trinitarian representative. But I would like to say that by founding the debate...
Mike, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your first point assumes that Joseph believed what the Bible says about false prophets. It's a tricky thing to...
Rob, First off, I doubt anything could have overwhelmed Joseph's fear of death, especially if he did know himself to be a false prophet. You have an article...
Mike, You had asserted that Joseph died as a martyr; I had argued that he did not. Now you concede the point but assert that it isn't "the real question"! It's...
Rob, You bring up some good points. Maybe you are right that Joseph doesn't count as a martyr, and was just assassinated. However, not ONE of your points...
Mike, You had written: << Assuming it was all fiction, how do you explain Joseph's martyrdom? I mean, what motivation could he possibly have that was more...

... and feels enough like the real thing as to "be convincing." So heresies talk warmly about Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit, faith, love, good works, and...
Rob, ... But I seriously doubt he can put love and enlightenment into those spiritual experiences. The Bible only says that he can appear as a being of light....
Wow. Ok.. so I know you two are having a lot of fun talking about Satanic influences over religion, but isn't that where logical sense begins to take a...
Rob, Here's a question for you. What exactly is your stance on Joseph Smith? Ok.. I know your stance, but more specifically what is your stance on the first...
Sam, You guessed incorrectly. Here is the part of your post that caught my attention: << It's my conviction that "men" didn't author this idea, but that Satan...
Let's see . . . . . Could it be that I believe that LDS doctrine may someday agree with Evangelical doctrine? Sometimes I rattle on, and lose perspective, and...
Sam, My friend, you've just made a terribly interesting statement that calls into question what you as a Latter-day Saint believe. I'm really tired, so I'm...
Rob, You wrote, ... I'm not sure what you're saying here. You mean the "doctored" third-person version could have a different plot or story line than the new...
Dear friends, You might find my newest article of some interest: Does Belief in a Closed Canon Elevate the Bible above God? How Mormon Apologists Misrepresent...

Sam, I had written: Using the supposedly parallel portion of the plates did not really solve anything, but only opened Joseph Smith to the reasonable criticism...
Rob, ... My reply: I think you are mistaken. Actually I DO believe in preservation of scripture, although I believe in the free agency of man. In other...
Dear friends, My course on the Historical Jesus continues tonight on a different online forum. Tonight's class is called "Pharisees and Sadducees and...
