I thought you mighe be interested in a site my wife and I just built called MormonsMadeSimple.com, which uses simple, explanatory videos to explain the Mormon faith. Feel free to feature any of these videos on your blog, or just share them with non-member friends. We're hoping these videos will be missionary tools to help members share their beliefs. Anyway, sorry to spam your comments section. I couldn't find any contact information for you on your blog.<BR/> <BR/>- Doug & LaurelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104595532843207159.post-45391957335327403172009-02-05T18:29:00.000-08:002009-02-05T18:29:00.000-08:00CliffordI have used the point you are making in di...Clifford<BR/><BR/>I have used the point you are making in discussion with those who have used this same claim of this doctrine being Satan's idea. So don't misunderstand my direction. I'm in total agreement with you on that.<BR/><BR/>I'm not denying that Satan spoke true words. I'm saying that he has presented them in a way that makes a false idea from the true words.<BR/><BR/>As language is merely a noise or writing to convey a meaning; if the meaning is altered, the sound being the same is meaningless.<BR/><BR/>I'm not disagreeing with your point in the post, just the inference that COULD be derived, that Satan can actually teach truth.Doug Towershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119162546723347214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104595532843207159.post-86163032767834653662009-02-05T03:26:00.000-08:002009-02-05T03:26:00.000-08:00Doug:But the situation here is that both God and t...Doug:<BR/><BR/>But the situation here is that both God and the serpent made the same statement, and since God can never lie, then in this case, the serpent did speak a truth as well.Cliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078849951764075139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104595532843207159.post-64112487850634527062009-02-03T17:47:00.000-08:002009-02-03T17:47:00.000-08:00CliffordI thoroughly agree with your point about G...Clifford<BR/><BR/>I thoroughly agree with your point about God teaching this same truth. It is something I also present in defense of that claim.<BR/><BR/>The only area where I feel differently from what you have expressed is relative to truth and Satan.<BR/><BR/>The Bible tells us that there is no truth in him. I have seen him, and he is just darkness as a being: There is no light of truth in him at all.<BR/><BR/>I would tend to see his comment more from the perspective of him using the right words, with the wrong inference, as you have stated also, rather than being him telling the truth.<BR/><BR/>I'm probably being pedantic, but I think it important to realise that he is totally without truth. I remember often hearing the claim that Satan would teach 9 truths to teach one lie. Yet I firmly believe that Satan wouldn't know how to teach a truth if his existence depended upon it.Doug Towershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119162546723347214noreply@blogger.com
