so i gave read a bit

2020-02-06 23:47:39 UTC  

okay

2020-02-06 23:47:42 UTC  

no judging

2020-02-06 23:47:47 UTC  

sorry for the aggressive tone

2020-02-06 23:47:53 UTC  

i've been really mean to you friend

2020-02-06 23:47:58 UTC  

Protestantism wasn't divinely inspired. It was formed, literally, out of protest.

2020-02-06 23:48:04 UTC  

no worries it's been a while but I believe we studied Mormonism as well

2020-02-06 23:48:22 UTC  

I'm not familiar with all of Mormonism's interpretations, mind refreshing me?

2020-02-06 23:49:08 UTC  

I believe Protestantism was more of a returning to roots

2020-02-06 23:49:23 UTC  

after people got fed up with the corrupt Catholic church that is

2020-02-06 23:49:45 UTC  

it's kind of impossible for protestantism to be correct, scripturally

2020-02-06 23:50:00 UTC  

these people believe that everyone was wrong for 1500 years and then they got back on the right path

2020-02-06 23:50:03 UTC  

but that's impossible

2020-02-06 23:50:18 UTC  

if the church were to fall, it would be armageddon

2020-02-06 23:50:35 UTC  

hmm not exactly

2020-02-06 23:51:00 UTC  

the Catholic church was wrong, and there were protestant sentiments through out it's reign.

2020-02-06 23:51:16 UTC  

but the Protestant reformation was more of a tipping point

2020-02-06 23:51:43 UTC  

although you could accuse certain catholic practices as being immoral, catholic dogma was never wrong

2020-02-06 23:51:51 UTC  

to any major degree at least

2020-02-06 23:52:02 UTC  

us and the roman catholics disagree on very few things

2020-02-06 23:52:32 UTC  

the idea of purgatory, is very unbiblical

2020-02-06 23:52:42 UTC  

which is a big teaching in the Catholic church

2020-02-06 23:52:54 UTC  

yeah we skip that one

2020-02-06 23:53:04 UTC  

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.

2020-02-06 23:54:26 UTC  

also if you would be so kindly to refresh me on the Mormon view of marriage?

2020-02-06 23:55:11 UTC  

One moment please and I'll fetch the official proclamation...

2020-02-06 23:55:25 UTC  

they sometimes have polygamy and sometimes don't

2020-02-06 23:55:28 UTC  

their dogma changes

2020-02-06 23:55:31 UTC  

okay

2020-02-06 23:55:35 UTC  

they still have prophets

2020-02-06 23:56:22 UTC  

ok so it does allow polygamy

2020-02-06 23:56:55 UTC  

I guess that is another thing I don't agree with

2020-02-06 23:57:05 UTC  

O discord is lagging alot rn

2020-02-06 23:57:12 UTC  

ok now its fine

2020-02-06 23:57:17 UTC  

ok anyway

2020-02-06 23:58:37 UTC  

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.

2020-02-06 23:59:30 UTC  

so you do not still condone it correct?

2020-02-06 23:59:47 UTC  

I'm not talking about the church I am talking about you individually

2020-02-07 00:00:05 UTC  

@Draško yes. We still are guided by prophets, seers, revelators, apostles and other dignified leadership positions. We're a well oiled machine.

2020-02-07 00:01:21 UTC  

@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.
