[ZION] American Gnosticsm

2002-10-28 Thread Gary Smith
I would rather say we are Orthodox Christians and that the other Christian religions are gnostics. ;-) There are two ways to look at it. Gnosis means hidden truth. We do hold hidden truth. However, the reality is that the ancient Gnostics were very apostate, and many of the beliefs of modern Chris

I would add a slight twist to this. I think that other religions DO have saving truths (not ordinances), and they have the ability to bring people to a higher level of salvation. Now, the LDS Church is the only one with the fulness of salvation, or exaltation. If a Muslim, Jew or Hindu brings a per

[ZION] Fw: James' ossuary BAR article

2002-10-28 Thread Gary Smith
I've just finished reading the BAR article on the ossuary of James. Here's the scoop: The ossuary belongs to a private collector, who obtained it on the black market about 15 years ago. He recently asked Andre Lemaire, a reknowned philologist who specializes in Aramaic to look at it. The inscripti

I grant you your opinion on the CFR and those who belong to it, however I won't let you get by with equating a belief in the gospel with your belief in a secret combination. There is evidence for believing the gospel, such as the Holy Ghost. There is no solid evidence on any level for the CFR charg

[ZION] The veil

2002-10-28 Thread Stephen Beecroft
The symbolism of the veil is used several times in our gospel teachings, and in some different ways. They all seem to have one thing in common: The veil separates us from God. Usually that is good, or at least necessary; in one case, it is not. In the teachings of the gospel, I see at least fiv

When I was a kid, during the summer holidays we'd go to my paternal grandparents in east central Saskatchewan, or on very rare occasions, to my maternal grandmother's on Seal Island, a 3.5 hour ride by lobster boat (Cape Islander) through the Gulf Stream/Bay of Fundy tidal bore [no seasick wanted o

Here's the latest speculation from a better-informed source than I (Jane's Defence Weekly), on what gas was used to knock out the Chechen terrorists, but which, alas, overdid it and caused extensive collateral damage. I thought Putin looked strained and sincere when he asked the Russian people, "pl
