Comments on: We Push Them Out Into What? http://ldstalk.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/we-push-them-out-into-what/ A discussion of differences and similarities between Mormonism and Evangelical Christianity Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:20:13 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jared C http://ldstalk.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/we-push-them-out-into-what/#comment-11696 Jared C Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:45:16 +0000 http://ldstalk.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/we-push-them-out-into-what/#comment-11696 To be fair to Heather, Tim seems to incorrectly use it as a verb rather than an adjective or adverb, or at least as an odd compound verb "go rampant" which I have not heard. <blockquote>"They’ve recently learned the tools of skepticism and go rampant on everything."</blockquote> I think the reasons given are a bit too simple as well, but this is only a blog post.

“They’ve recently learned the tools of skepticism and go rampant on everything.”

I think the reasons given are a bit too simple as well, but this is only a blog post.

This was my favorite part: "ASK THE HOW THE BRIDE TO BE IS ANOITED??" Anoi[n]ting the bride to be? Sounds kinky! For the first time in my life, I think I regret not being Mormon and not getting married in a temple. Oh well. At least I can still wear halter tops. It’s fun to read the old discussion of this.

In fact, you’re not even halfway there< Absolutely true AND quite Biblical in fact. After all most the Pharisees and Sadducees acknowledged the existence of God and were "Bible believing" yet didn't recognize God when He was standing incarnate right in front of them - let alone come to worship Him. GREAT point Seth! Dang, I have got to meet you some day - I suspect that we could burn hours just chatting about these things and "throwing the ball back and forth".

Absolutely true AND quite Biblical in fact. After all most the Pharisees and Sadducees acknowledged the existence of God and were “Bible believing” yet didn’t recognize God when He was standing incarnate right in front of them – let alone come to worship Him.

GREAT point Seth!

Dang, I have got to meet you some day – I suspect that we could burn hours just chatting about these things and “throwing the ball back and forth”.

So maybe someone we'll be catching a Rockies game and y'all can trash talk me because I'm a Red Sox fan. Great discussion guys! I'm going to start hanging out around this board - I like it!
