This doesn't mean that it was wrong to believe in the theory in the first place. It can be viewed more as a stepping-stone on the way towards the real truth.<br /><br />Maybe this is the point that you've been getting at the whole time in regards to religious faith. I think what Christ ultimately wants is for us to search for truth throughout our lives. We may not learn everything there is to know about this world, but the mere act of searching (within his guidelines) is what makes us better people. I believe that doing so will bring us farther ahead than those who thought they knew the whole truth from the beginning.Matt's brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07188185711832956883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778054119855048845.post-48836567761328691932009-06-16T20:21:50.860-07:002009-06-16T20:21:50.860-07:00I think you've overlooked the fact that when t...I think you've overlooked the fact that when the spirit testifies of something (like, for example, that God lives) then you have your proof. That's more proof than anything a mathematician can show on paper.<br /><br />JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778054119855048845.post-46130694783484469972009-06-15T09:53:59.908-07:002009-06-15T09:53:59.908-07:00What do you think of the Time article entitled The...What do you think of the Time article entitled The Storm Over the Mormons? I'm interested to know where you stand about the prophet. If Mormons believe a prophet told them to do something, shouldn't they do it, no questions asked?<br /><br />WKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
