The Lives of Faithful Mormons

Archive for the ‘christianity’ Category

Last month, violent extremism struck Norway in the form of one Anders Behring Breivik.  A self-described “Cultural Christian” seeking the liberation of Europe from the supposed threats of Marxism, Islam and Feminism, Mr. Breivik unleashed the most destructive rampage that Norwegians had seen since the invasion and occupation of their nation by the Wehrmacht during the Second World War.  In a few short hours, Breivik detonated a car bomb in the capital city of Oslo, killing eight people, after which he traveled to youth camp on nearby Utøya island, where he shot some sixty-nine other young people to death.  His justification for this massacre was that in killing these young leftists, he hoped to spur Europeans to see the threats that left-wing governance and Islamic immigration posed toward the traditional homelands of Christendom.  Essentially he saw himself as a modern-day Crusader striking a blow for the preservation of the West. I will not dignify the ravings of Mr.... Read the rest of this entry »

Rise (and fall) of rational Theology

Posted by On August - 7 - 2011

When I mentioned King James Bible in an earlier post, I deliberately left out the turmoil of Continental Europe. The 17th century brought on wars that have somewhat falsely been called religious wars, but are generally the 30 years war. It was about formerly Catholic princes, king, dukes etc. pitting their forces against their Protestant [...]  Read More →

Celebrating King James Bible

Posted by On August - 5 - 2011

Some others may have read the August Ensign, and noted the pages dedicated to celebrating 400 years of King James Bible. I was sort of inspired to put my 2 cents about the Bible in ordered bits as if someone else were interested in my thoughts. Feel free to criticise/correct me; but my hope is [...]  Read More →

Recently I had a close member of my family give me a movie called “Joseph Smith vs. the Bible” (actually, they left it in my car).  Since I’ve rarely had a Christian give me something about Mormons that wasn’t propaganda to try and convince Mormons they’re wrong, I really had no desire to watch it.  However, I did browse around to see if there were any reviews on the movie so I could have an idea what it was about if my family member asked me again. Just as I had thought, the movie, according to both Christian reviews and LDS reviews, the movie was heavily one-sided.  The reviews do a good job of summarizing the movie and explaining what it is about, but in a nutshell, the host uses scripture to prove that Joseph Smith is a false prophet based on a few things he said such as the temple being built in Jackson County, Missouri (which it hasn’t been), and the Book of Mormon prophets saying Jesus would be born in Jerusulem rather than Bethlehem, along... Read the rest of this entry »
