hate tell him that according to those commandments the 7th day is the Sabbath. unless they've got a different Mormon version of the bible.

Mormons are stingy?

Seems like all religious zealots are, or at least that's how stigmas portray them.

You can't read Galatians, then believe anything Jospeh Smith says. You can believe both. Sorry. Mormons are not Christians.

Well their religion is based on not only the Bible and its' teachings but also is based on the teachings of their "Book of Mormon" which is what they refer to as a "Companion Book to the Bible". This is without a doubt adding to Biblical instruction which is prohibited and warned against. They claim to be Christians but they directly violate scripture by including the Book of Mormon into their doctrine which basicly ellevates the teachings of Joseph Smith to that of Jesus Christ.

Here is what the Bible says about adding or taking away from the Bible:

18For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Prov. 30:6If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Ex. 32:33God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

In other words, Don't do it.

Wonder if Steve Young and McMahon will be present, first time BYU's been on the national stage in years

So I'm a BYU fan, hopped on your board to get a sense of what we're up against and what you Tiger fans think about BYU - in other words, football talk. (For what it's worth, I think the LSU -12 line is about right).

And then I get on and start reading this Bible nonsense.

Despite being a BYU fan, I'm no longer a practicing Mormon - if I were heading down to Houston I'd probably hit one of you up for a beer before the game. I think most of the teachings that are specific to Mormonism are largely bunk. That being said, some of the traditional Christian arguments against Mormonism are just as idiotic.

You cite Rev. 22:18-19 as an argument against adding to or taking away from the words of the Bible (against the Book of Mormon specifically). Any idea what John (assuming he actually wrote Revelation) was referring to when he said "this book"? Here's a clue: IT'S NOT THE WHOLE DAMN BIBLE. The Bible as such didn't even exist until well after John's life, and scholars are unanimous that several books of the Bible were written well after Revelation. Not to even mention that the number of books that are in the Bible depends on which branch of Catholicism/Orthodoxy/Protestantism you believe in (ranging anywhere from 66 to 80+).

Leading off with this as my 1st post on Tiger Droppings probably makes me a bad houseguest, which I don't want to be. I just figured that when I logged on I would find a football forum rather than a Sunday School class. Y'all want to ask any questions about BYU, make any outlandish game predictions or talk smack, I'm open to just about anything. But I would prefer to stick to football when it comes to discussions about BYU.

Also, per the title to this thread, RIP LaVell. He was a good guy.
