Blainer)  The BoM tells us that after the Bible had gone through the
hands of the great and abominable church, it had been significantly
altered.  Nothing is said against the original writers of the Bible. 
They were clearly righteous men.

Blainer)  Mormonism is not divided.  There were only about 130 splinter
groups.None of them prospered.  (Only a few left today)  You call
that divided?  (:)  
The Church of Jesus Christ of LDS is the only one that gets up early in
the morning feeling excited about the day ahead and the many
opportunities to dispel darkness in the world.  Its like when you are
going on vacation the next day, you can hardly wait for the dawn.  Or
like when you were little, and you went to bed X-mas eve, and could
hardly wait to get up the next day to see what Santa Claus brought you. 
That's how excited Mormons get about missionary work.   Glenn, old pal,
you need to get with the program.  You'd be so happy as a Mormon.   (:)

Dear Blainer, you are a liar. Your definition of division is a lie hatched out of hell fire itself. I cannot believe anything liars say. Therefore anything you say in your posts to TT cannot be believed. If you tell the truth it will only be to mix a lie in with it. 

 I am repeating again. By your "hatched out of hell fire lie definition of division" THERE IS NOT DIVISION IN CHRISTIANITY!!! NONE! ZERO ZILCH The Free Methodist Church is not divided. The Evangelical Methodist is not divided. The Church of the Nazarene is not divided. The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day in for hell is not divided. Christianity is not divided 666

 To argue that the Bible in its present form is

Why?  Are you sure you are using the right word when you say misnomer?

Blainer wrote:
 The men who had charge of the bible were often
 unrighteous men.

So?

Blainer wrote:
 God has always worked through righteous men,
 and often has had to use righteous men to compensate
 for what unrighteous men have lost or destroyed.

God also has worked through unrighteous men.  For example, men like
Nebachadnezzar, Cyrus, Balaam, just to name a few.  Also, the Scriptures
which existed in Jesus day also had been in the keeping of unrighteous men.
For example, Jesus said that the father of these men who kept the Scriptures
was Satan.  Yet that did not stop Jesus from affirming the reliability of
Scripture, and saying, The Scripture cannot be broken.  Jesus also quoted
from these Scriptures to explain his own actions.  Apparently, Jesus Christ
and Joseph Smith sharply disagree with each other with regard to God's
desire and ability to preserve the Holy Scriptures.

By the way, what Biblical men satisfy your allegation here, of righteous men
compensating for what unrighteous men lost or destroyed?  I can't figure out
what you have in mind.

Blainer wrote:

So you say, but thus far, all such truth and light that was lost and now
is restored appears to be falsehood.  (For example, the false Book of Mormon
doctrine about baptism, and the false notion that the Scriptures have been
corrupted and bring people under Satan's power.)

Peace be with you.

He hasn't lost his mind. His mind is brainwashed. If you read the Bible, many times God used the devil's crowd to send a message to the Lord's crowd.
