You forget to mention that Joey Smith was also a FreeMason. The mormons are an excellent example of a "man-made" religion. which imitates the life of Jesus, down to the "one" who betrays....aka, a judas. I think the followers of capable of lots of good deeds, and sincerety, buy their doctrine is right out of a L. Ron Hubbard Sci-fi!

If I remember correctly all the founders were FreeMasons. Like most of the US founding fathers were. Don't like the FreeMasons?

I don't think I'd put Mormons in the same category with Scientologists.

What would you like to know about the Council of Nicea?
I will have to search through some texts and it would take some time before i can present you the minutes.
But when i do, i will show it to you.

Hope the job is going well.

Good luck finding them, I heard they do not exist.

Job is rather hectic
And demands lots of working hours...
But i'm glad at least i have a job now
Just got home and i'm dead tired...
Luckily, i'm off work today...
Perhaps the minutes do not exist, but the Nicine Creed is visible and recited every Sunday
Anyway, i'll make the vain attempt of what i can find on the subject. Well, i'm off for now, need some shut eye...
"Type" later...

The cross signifies Roman occupation and death.

There probably are protestants who use the cross presbetarians would by my first guess since they are closely tied to catholicism.

You don't think Jesus would remove the crosses? LOL

That's why catholics aren't true christians (or even close).

Mussolini and Hitler never got rid of the pope because they are state worshipers, always have been.

The original symbol of the Christian faith was the fish. Its use as a religious symbol predates the cross which was adapted during the time of Constintine.

Hello John G...what i meant by the Mormons reminding of Hubbards doctrine is both of them seem to have complex stories. like a Star Treck episodes. Mormons seem to know how many levels of heaven, what kind of shape Adam was, Jesus was an Adam type..etc, etc. Scientology has of course a Sci-fi like take on the end of the world for sure, and again...they CLAIM to have all these complex ideas on things will happen or will evolve. I prefer a little Mystery with my "Religion". jm

I have no problems with a fish, sort of reminds me what jesus told peter to do in order to look as if something is being done about paying taxes.
