]]> Comment on My Little Mormon Missionaries (Part 3 salvation) by Sam http://dougmurphy.org/2007/01/08/my-little-mormon-missionaries-part-3-salvation/#comment-1056 Sam Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:09:57 +0000 http://dougmurphy.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/my-little-mormon-missionaries-part-3-salvation/#comment-1056 Doug, I realize you wrote this a while ago and have likely long since decided Mormonism is wrong based on your discussion with 19 year-olds (talk about the weak things of the world). If you would like to reopen your investigation of this I would be happy to talk to you about it. Per you comment about points in the bible that clearly show a shift in revelation. There are simple examples. 1. Law of Moses where animal sacrifices are offered, then no such thing accepted after Christ's atonement. 2. Gospel initially only goes to Jews, then Peter receives a revelation that the Gospel can go to the Gentiles. 3. Abraham, Saul, David and Solomon have many wives, this policies appears to be done away with after Christ. (by the way, I'm not defending polygamy here, just showing there was likely a change). I suggest the following talk given by a Mormon Apostle not long after you wrote this post: http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-851-30,00.html I think that give some direction on the point. Lastly, you suggested there have been changes in Mormonism's core doctrines. This is false and suggests you do not understand Mormonism's core doctrines. They are simply that we can return to God only through accepting the grace of Christ. Accepting Christ implies obedience to laws and ordinances of His Gospel (otherwise, why would we need baptism). Certainly, policies have changed, but such policy changes were not unlike the points I mentioned in the examples above. Do not confuse changes in the organization with changes in the doctrine. Thanks! Doug,

I've been wondering how to separate the message that the mega-famous pastors preach (which is often excellent, Jesus focussed and theologically solid) iwth the tendency to make them into rock stars whose opinions of books, speakers and movements are listened to like papal decrees. I really like Driscoll's preaching, but at times I have to step back and see that I still need to be growing in Jesus myself and not rely on some vicarious relationship with God. The bigger problem I have with the multi site church is that I think it would be harder to truly feel a part of a congregation when you get the sermon streamed in. It would exaggerate the feeling I get about worship services being a concert by tagging on a movie. All the best. Andrew Doug
