BLAINE: Hmmm, well let's see now. How about the one regards Joseph Smith's revelations/prophecies? You and Kevin fulfill one of them every day, as do most street Preachers. See below:
D&C 1:16
"They seek not the Lord nor his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own God, WHOSE IMAAGE IS IN THE LIKENESS OF THE WORLD,..."
How is this prophecy (foretelling)? It sounds like more like a presumed statement of fact than a prophecy (foretelling). And, I did not look for the scriptures, but it sounds like a repeat of one or more Bible verses. Plaigerized Bible verses do not count. it must be original stuff.
Or, here's another one that has been fulfilled and is being fulfilled daily:
D&C 1:30
"And also those to whom these commandments were given, might HAVE POWER TO LAY THE FOUNDATION OF THIS CHURCH, AND TO BRING IT FORTH OUT OF OBSCURITY..."
Without going to the D&C to grab the context, I'll give you this one. Carry on.
Initial church membership was six--currently now about 12 million, and increasing fast--very fast--120 new temples, thousands of ward and stake meeting houses scattered throughout the world--a world church now, not just an American church.
Lets see. In round figures, the mormon church is almost 200 years old. Times 365 days per year times 24 hours per day times 60 minutes per hour. That is about 105,120,000 minutes. Now, according to P. T. Barnum there have been around 105,102,000 suckers born since the Mormon church was founded. You said there are 12,000,000 members in the church. That means that since the Mormon church was founded, they have harvested only about 8.7% of the potential Mormon members out there. That is not a real good percentage, Blaine. Get busy!
This is just for starters--I could write much more on this, if you like. I know some have limited attention spans, however. :)
Well, you started with part of my third question...why not head back to the top of the list and cover them in order...it will make it easier for me to follow since my attention span is so short. Besides, you started with the easiest one. Be a sport!
