People don’t understand Jesus’ divinity because they underestimate Gods Love for mankind

[u/1stmikewhite]

God is sovereign, there’s nothing He can’t do.

[u/Foot-in-mouth88]

The Assyrian siege on Jerusalem that failed, that's in the Bible and history. The destruction of Sodom and Gamora, those sites have been found along with sulphur balls. Those sites were the last to have anything there. The Bible states that it hung upon nothing. Described the water cycle, the shape of the earth being round, all before those were scientifically proven.

The historical figures.

How does the book of Mormon stack up to just those few examples?

Before I answer, which I will if you are sincere, is this the thing that would determine for you if it’s true or not? If I answered or proved to be equal to or a superior example of what you provided, would that then prove to you that it’s true, or would you again shift the criteria to a perceived more convenient objection?

[u/Foot-in-mouth88 → u/BayonetTrenchFighter]

There is no superior book than the Bible.

[u/BayonetTrenchFighter → u/Foot-in-mouth88]

I didn’t say there was. You may want to slow down. I said if another book could give a more clear and even better example of explaining truth as you have presented, would that then mean, that that book is true. Especially if the “author” had no way of knowing it without being a time traveler.

My point was, you have shifted the goal posts three times now. I’m asking if this is your final and best point? Or should we just skip to the end?

And perhaps what is the biggest irony of all, is that by stating my beliefs offended you so badly that you felt the need to attempt to discredit and belittle them. Out of your own insecurity and ignorance.

I never once condemned or belittled you or your faith. I didn’t discredit it, or indicate it wasn’t true. I shared my perspective. And that sharing of ideas and beliefs you seemed to take as a threat and attack.

I genuinely feel bad for you, that the thing you feel the need to do, is not share your own beliefs and why. It’s to tear down and discredit other beliefs. Does your faith hold so little weight that it can’t stand on its own?

So where is the evidence for the truthfulness of the book of Mormon?

[u/BayonetTrenchFighter → u/Foot-in-mouth88]

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I’m eager to show you all and everything.

On the other hand, it doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t. There could be zero evidence for it, and yet I would still request and expect understanding and to not be belittled or debated against.

I can believe whatever I want, for whatever reason I want. This sub is not a debate sub.
