Hi Mirl, It sure sounds like an important step forward, to have a good transcription of the corrections Joseph made to the KJV. It'll be interesting to begin...

Dear Brother Peter You should write a book. You have condensed below exactly what the situation is in the Restoration. While I do have a web site, I do not...

Dear Jared , This is a forum for all of our viewpoints...I do not think mentioning the changes on this list will influence anyone.... The only time I share the...

Sister Vivien, Thanks for sharing your testimony. I think it is easy for us to put things we shouldn't ahead of our service to God - and it is a great ...
All, I have often pondered in the past the effect of spiritual experiences on people -- and how we use that information. I've heard testimonies from LDS folk,...
I have not been very active on the list lately because I have been extremely busy. I have to admit I haven't even read very many of the posts as of late. But...
Hello List Please pray for Bess Jamison. She was to have tests Monday and I have not heard the results, but I know she needs our prayers. Also, prayers for...
Dearest Nikki I am sorry you feel upset by the contention among the Saints. There is a lot of contention on a list like this one because we are all Saints...
Vivien, I think we have to be careful about equating things such as the "Vision in the Grove" that Joseph Smith, Jr. had, to scripture. We can believe what we...
Hello Jared and Vivien I disagree that the Vision in the Grove is a separate issue from the Restoration Scriptures. I think that this Vision is the MOST...
Mirl, Maybe that is all you heard about in the centerplace. It was not so in other places. Like it or not, the "plurality of gods doctrine" has not so greatly...
Mirl, I just read Alma 17:15 And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I...
Hi Mirl, That's a poignant story about your daughter and her husband. I think we all join you in praying they will see the light one day. ... The "multiple...

Hello Terri That is the way it is worded in the RCE also. So that means it was on the printer's copy that way. It could have been a human error, or it could...
Hi Terri, For what it's worth, the Jews had a little problem with this "son of God" thing too... "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee...

Everett, I wonder if you would mind explaining this to me. You wrote: <<I am somewhat surprised that members of all the splinter groups and other groups can...
Everett, After reading your post -- I'm wondering -- don't YOU think something is wrong in the restoration? The RLDS church ordaining women - supporting the...
Mirl, Thank you for that tale. It is stories like these, and my own past experiences, that has kept me in the Restoration despite my reservations about some...
Mirl, I have to agree with you about what is pushed to those outside the Church. It's Joseph Smith, not Jesus, that seems to be emphasized. When I first ...
Terri, I am no expert, but I always read that passage to mean that the speaker was struggling with sins, and remembering perhaps vaguely the words of his ...
Mirl, For the first time ever, I disagree with you. Perhaps I misunderstood. You said: Mirl says - Didn't Jesus continue to attend with the Jews of His day?...
Jared, I think that you need to define the word "scripture." Revelations included in the D&C are considered scripture. Why should this revelation/vision be ...
Peter, I have often struggled with whether or not certain things, thoughts or directions, came from God or from my own mind. I do not speak of these ...
