so i gave read a bit
okay
no judging
sorry for the aggressive tone
i've been really mean to you friend
Protestantism wasn't divinely inspired. It was formed, literally, out of protest.
no worries it's been a while but I believe we studied Mormonism as well
I'm not familiar with all of Mormonism's interpretations, mind refreshing me?
I believe Protestantism was more of a returning to roots
after people got fed up with the corrupt Catholic church that is
it's kind of impossible for protestantism to be correct, scripturally
these people believe that everyone was wrong for 1500 years and then they got back on the right path
but that's impossible
if the church were to fall, it would be armageddon
hmm not exactly
the Catholic church was wrong, and there were protestant sentiments through out it's reign.
but the Protestant reformation was more of a tipping point
although you could accuse certain catholic practices as being immoral, catholic dogma was never wrong
to any major degree at least
us and the roman catholics disagree on very few things
which is a big teaching in the Catholic church
yeah we skip that one
In brief: 200 years ago (during the second Great Awakening) a young boy by the name of Joseph Smith Junior was reading the Bible when he came across James 1:5
the next day he went out to the woods near his home in upstate New York, to pray. Soon he was visited by God the Father and Jesus Christ, whom proceeded to expound upon him the narrative that No Church Was True. . .
Later on, he was visited by the angel Moroni who showed him the record of his people, aka the plates of brass.
also if you would be so kindly to refresh me on the Mormon view of marriage?
One moment please and I'll fetch the official proclamation...
they sometimes have polygamy and sometimes don't
their dogma changes
okay
they still have prophets
ok so it does allow polygamy
The Family: A Proclamation to the World

I guess that is another thing I don't agree with
O discord is lagging alot rn
ok now its fine
ok anyway
The church sanctioned polygamy in it's early years, yes. From about 1830s to 1880 when Utah became a state. In other words, it's less than half our history and not even all that impressive when you look at other things we've done, so people are silly to keep beating that dead horse.
so you do not still condone it correct?
I'm not talking about the church I am talking about you individually
@Draško yes. We still are guided by prophets, seers, revelators, apostles and other dignified leadership positions. We're a well oiled machine.
@moira sh*t. I'm still trying to get things right so I can have ONE woman.
So yeah, I'm not personally keen on pleural marriages.
