Kevin:AMEN KEVIN! Truth is able to stand public 
scrutiny. What you, on occasion, say does not. 

This site was aptly named Truthtalk and, at it's 
best lived up to that.

  Don't want to "argue"?
  TRUTH is always able to withstand Public scrutiny!
  Maybe, you can call me names (like the other 
  LDS quoted below much more available on request)orget a LDS BISHOP 
  High Priest to find a very small SP to attack from the back. Because LDS 
  "truth" is not able to withstand public scrutiny!
  "anti-Mormon" is a "thought-terminating cliché," in other words, 
  Orwellian "NEWSPEAK". The purpose of which is to CUE LDS to 
  get their minds off track to reduce any possibility that they may come into 
  contact with NON faith promoting FACTS. The LABELING of so-called "opponents" 
  with a word, whose only purpose is to create a mental aversion, is the 
  deliberate mechanism of the leadership to cue the membership to subconsciously 
  censor their own thoughts! This tactic is employed by Authoritarian 
  organizations which seek to CONTROL  reduce the flow of information to 
  their followers. 
  The TRUTH is always ABLE to WITHSTAND 
  public scutiny!
  
  Contention is of the Devil? Innoculates the LDS to censor discussion. Who 
  ios getting ANGRY here? Look at the following Mormon APOLOGETIC:
  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou 
  wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

  Contention is of the devil. Therefore we cannot teach 
  Christ's doctrine by contending one with another, nor can we be called by the 
  name of Christ if we act as such. Christ himself taught that if a man smite 
  thee on one cheek turn to him the other also. It saddens my heart to think of 
  all time and effort spent trying to tear each others beliefs apart. If I think 
  I know something to be true I will speak of my knowledge of the truth. I would 
  not try to convert anyone to my beliefs by trying to destroy their beliefs.

   But "James," the only things I want to eliminate are you from the 
  newsgroup and the test tube you came in on. 
  
  Get a life and leave the Church of Jesus Christ alone. It makes me 
  sad to think of all the people you may have led away from the truth of the 
  Gospel. 
  P.S. Next time you talk to Satan tell him to go to .. and stay

Oh but I do rejoice with you, David. God does heal 
and, this may be one of those healings. It was the 'word faith approach' that 
concerned us.

  What this reminds me of is when the Pharisees complained about Jesus 
  healing on the Sabbath. My daughter is healed now, and she is happy, I'm 
  happy, my wife is happy, everybody is happy except for these 3 people who came 
  together and talked about how disturbing my post to TT was about it.
  
  At this same time, Dean sent me a post complaining about my testimony 
  concerning childbearing, not using doctors and believing God for painless

  simply rejoice with me when God is so good.

by the name of Jed Smock (www.brojed.org) believes about hell pretty much
just like you do.  Still, Jed will stand on campus and warn students
loudly
about bur-r-r-n-n-ning in the la-a-a-ke of FI-I-I-R-R-E!  I was

the first time I learned that Jed believed the fire he preached was

I did think from previous encounters that you believed there was no
literal Hell.

DAVEH:  Quite the contrary.   As I view it, hell is the physical
separation
from God and his love.  The effect of such separation is similar to how 
it

would feel if you were cast into the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem,
except its effect would last forever.

Are you saying then that it is not a place?

DAVEH:  No, I did not say that.  If heaven is located in a place, then
heaven is located in a place other than where heaven is located.  So yes,
hell is a place.a place where God does not reside, nor does his love
emanate.

It is not physical?

DAVEH:  Yes, it is a physical place, but the description of the lake of
fire
and brimstone is symbolic representation of how folks will feel who end 
up
there.  I do not believe people will literally be cast into a burning 
lake

of fire and brimstone.  That is imagery, IMHO.

If this literal Hell you speak of is not a place,

DAVEH:   Since I do believe it is a place, the remaining questions seem
irrelevant.

   Now that I've satisfied your curiosity Kevin, let me now ask where you
think the literal burning pit (hell) will be located?

When someone uses the term Literal that is synonomous with physical,

If this literal Hell you speak of is not a place, where will those that

Polkinghorne (See his newest: 'Science and The Trinity - The Christian

Theology, Science, and the Eastern Orthodox Tradition'2003. Should you 
actually check 'em out, you'll see competence in both disciplines.


5. Once again I'll name but two; Thomas V. Morris 'The Logic of God 
Incarnate', 1986 2. 'Faith and Rationality: Reason and Belief in God', 1984


Should you wish to present the positive side of rationalism, dualism, 
reductionism and, perhaps even gnosticism then, I should like to hear it.

What is the "Word of Faith" approach 
Lance?

Just because there are a few nuts and flakes out there 
will you throw all healing down the
drain with them? This is why the church in 
general has so many sick ppl. Sin is not understood or dealt with
most of the time because we don't want to offend 
anyone. If someone would just get up there and boldly
teach truth things might begin to change. If 
people could just begin to recognize what it is and were willing
to take responsibility, repenting and renouncing it 
then we could get rid of it once and for all and they would
know enough to resist when it tries to come back. 
But Oh well! We can't offend anyone, they might leave
and take their offering with them. Got to have 
those big tithers to pay for the building fund while the ppl
perish. Peter rightly said "If the righteous 
scarcely be saved"

 The problem with you, Lance, is that you live an insular life; thinking 
 that
 others who don't agree with you don't get out enough. My husband is a
 medical doctor and research scientist who believes exactly as DM does, and
 he knows many others who believe as he does.  Stop being so narrow minded

 I DID discuss it with you off the list but, you did not respond, David. 
 What

 we (most believers) have here is a failure to communicate with you (your
 sect). You cite Heb 11 as if it amounted to 'case closed'. When I wrote 
 you
 privately David, I mentioned Hobart Freeman. Please look at his legacy 
 and,
 take care. E. W. Kenyon's offspring are everywhere. Are you one of them?

 I also asked you whether you'd be interested in exposing yourself to some
 'real' believing scientists re: Genesis 1-3. Would you? Further David, 
 would

 you be interested in exposing yourself to some 'real' logicians (i.e.
 philosophers who employ logic without falling prey to rationalism).

 Well, perhaps I should have kept that to myself, or shared privately with
 a
 few others, but then, wouldn't that have tended toward sectarianism?  At
 least my daughter is healed, Lance.  You should be rejoicing with me, not
 fearing dangerous sect or cult.  The difference between us on this matter
 has to do with an understanding of faith.  Please read Heb. 11, and also
 consider that I only speak of my personal belief and practice, which is
 not
 the same as insisting others do the same.  Lastly, you should consider
 discussing issues like this one with me, perhaps off the list, rather

Dave, for what it is worth, your view of hell is also shared by many
Protestants.  In fact, a very well known hell fire and brimestone preacher
by the name of Jed Smock (www.brojed.org) believes about hell pretty much
just like you do.  Still, Jed will stand on campus and warn students 
loudly
about bur-r-r-n-n-ning in the la-a-a-ke of FI-I-I-R-R-E!  I was 
surprised

the first time I learned that Jed believed the fire he preached was
figurative. I'm curious about you. Do you ever warn people about the FIRE 
of
hell?  In other words, do you use this metaphor yourself to convey to 
people

the danger of transgressing the commandments of God?

I did think from previous encounters that you believed there was no
literal Hell.

DAVEH:  Quite the contrary.   As I view it, hell is the physical 
separation

from God and his love.  The effect of such separation is similar to how it
would feel if you were cast into the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem,
except its effect would last forever.

Are you saying then that it is not a place?

DAVEH:  No, I did not say that.  If heaven is located in a place, then
heaven is located in a place other than where heaven is located.  So yes,
hell is a place.a place where God does not reside, nor does his love
emanate.

It is not physical?

DAVEH:  Yes, it is a physical place, but the description of the lake of 
fire

and brimstone is symbolic representation of how folks will feel who end up
there.  I do not believe people will literally be cast into a burning lake
of fire and brimstone.  That is imagery, IMHO.

If this literal Hell you speak of is not a place,

DAVEH:   Since I do believe it is a place, the remaining questions seem
irrelevant.

   Now that I've satisfied your curiosity Kevin, let me now ask where you
think the literal burning pit (hell) will be located?

When someone uses the term Literal that is synonomous with physical,
perhaps, therein lies the confusion.

If this literal Hell you speak of is not a place, where will those that
suffer this mental anguish be?
Will they be neighbors of those that do not suffer?
Can there be both joy  sorrow in the same place?
Will they be in a physical place?

   I don't know why it is so difficult for you to understand my position 
on

this, Kevin.  I do believe in a literal hell.literally being separated
from God.  I just don't believe that those who reject Jesus will literally
be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, as many believe.  Lacking the
eternal love of the Lord, those who suffer such separation will eternally
and forever suffer mental anguish at their shortsighted selfish decision 
to

choose evil over good.

   Before you had brought these BoM and DC passages to my attention, I 
had

never considered how latter-day scriptures handled this topic.  The only
time I had looked into it was several years ago in response to TTers
questioning me about it, and at that time I only looked at Bible passages
that were posted.  Perhaps it was you Kevin, I don't recall.  Back then, I
had only examined a number of Biblical passages to come to deter mine that
those who mentioned hell in the Bible were doing so symbolically when they
used the imagery of the burning trash pit of Jerusalem to reflect how one
who does not go to heaven will feel.  Posting the below passages from 
other

sources reaffirms the same conclusion.

 anti-sectarian, remember?  I do not believe that denominations are of God.
 It was Dean's tendency toward sectarianism that caused us difficulty
 recently.

 That aside, it is comments like this one about everyone transgressing the
 commandments of God that cause me deep concern for your own eternal fate.
 If you think that everyone transgresses the commandments of God, then that
 means that you transgress the commandments of God.  Such indicates that
 you
 are not be abiding in the doctrine of Christ.  Have you not read the
 following passages?

 Matthew 19:17
 (17) ... if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

 John 14:15
 (15) If ye love me, keep my commandments.

 John 15:10
 (10) If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have
 kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

 1 John 2:3-4
 (3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
 (4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a
 liar,
 and the truth is not in him.

 1 John 3:22
 (22) And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
 commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

 1 John 3:24
 (24) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him.
 And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath
 given
 us.

 1 John 5:2-3
 (2) By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God,
 and
 keep his commandments.
 (3) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his
 commandments are not grievous.

 Revelation 12:17
 (17) And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with
 the
 remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
 testimony of Jesus Christ.
 Revelation 14:12
 (12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
 commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

 You might plead lack of intelligence or that the Holy Spirit is not a
 rationalist or any number of things, but it is quite simple and true that
 if
 you do not keep the commandments, you are not in Christ.  Here is the
 reason
 that you and I cannot understand one another concerning the
 characteristics
 of a believer in his apprehension of knowledge and truth.

 Please read the above passages seriously and don't just skip over them.
 Those who believe in Jesus keep his commandments, and his commandments are
 not grevious.  If you do not keep his commandments and you think everyone
 transgresses his commandments, not only are you wrong, but your eternal
 fate
 is in the balance.  The judgment of hell fire is at your door despite your
 perspective of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.

You are not doing what the early church didDM brings up a great point.  Since the LDS are a RESTORATION of the Early Church, why are you are not doing what the early church did?I checked the word CONFOUND and it seems to be the Spirit of God come upon the characters in the BoM etc.  Yet it is evidenced today by a complete reversal being that the LDS are confounded and speak not a word in Salt Lake City!  And all this while the LDS are Commanded to confound us PUBLICLY!   DC 71 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made
 manifest.Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.9Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;10And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confoundedThe tables have been turned! The SP's call the LDS shudder!ARE THESE TRUE?  1 Ne 17 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said many things unto my brethren, insomuch that they were confounded and could not contend against meJacob 1 The words of his preaching unto his
 brethren. He confoundeth a man who seeketh to overthrow the doctrine of ChristJacob 7:8 But behold, the Lord God poured in his Spirit into my soul, insomuch that I did confound him in all his words.  Mosiah 1219 And they began to question him, that they might cross him, that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him; but he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment; for he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words.Where are the GREAT LDS Preachers?  Hel. 5:1717And it came to pass that they did preach with great power, insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters who had gone over from the Nephites, insomuch that they came forth and did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, and immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done.  Since the LDS god could not find any Men you would think he could at least find some Women or Children?  Does this mean Missionary BOYS? Where are they? ; )   Alma 32:23 And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also.

I DID discuss it with you off the list but, you did not respond, David. What

take care. E. W. Kenyon's offspring are everywhere. Are you one of them?


I also asked you whether you'd be interested in exposing yourself to some

2006-03-19 Thread Judy Taylor



So let's just throw it all out since noone can know 
what is true and what is not anyway?
I can see where you get this idea since your mentor 
writes:

Justification means that at every point in our theological inquiry we have to 
let our knowledge, our theology, our formulations, our statements, be called into question by the very Christ toward whom they 
point, for He alone is the Truth. 
Justification means that our theological statements are of such a kind that 
they do not claim to have truth in themselves, for by their very nature they 
point away from themselves to Christ as the one Truth of God. Therefore whenever 
we claim that our theological statements or our formulations have their truth in 
themselves we are turning back into the way of self-justification. 
Out of sheer respect for the majesty of the Truth as it is revealed in the 
Holy Scriptures, we have to do our utmost to speak correctly and exactly about 
it—that is the meaning of orthodoxy and the way of humility—but when we have done all this, we have still to confess that we 
are unfaithful servants, that all our efforts fall far short of the truth. 

My question then is: Is there no victory? Are 
we just to be passive, grovel and cringe since we are so impotent and can't know 
anything? Who are the "good and faithful servants who enter into His 
Rest?" Who are those spoken of in Luke 16:16 who press into the 
Kingdom. This is not a passive thing, it is pressing oneself in with 
energy. What exactly is the Kingdom to you Lance?

Lance, I don't know what you are talking about.  We do have a failure to 
communicate here.

1.  Heb. 11 isn't meant to be case closed, just helpful.
2.  I don't know who Hobart Freeman is, or his legacy.
3.  I am familiar a little with E.W. Kenyon.  No, I am not one of his 
offspring.
4.  Exposing myself to believing scientists?  I'm not sure what you mean by 
exposing myself. I have engaged many believing scientists about this.  What 
I'm really more interested in are theologians.  The few I have engaged can't 
handle the science side, and generally they plead ignorance in our 
discussion, falling back on I'm a theologian... sorry...  Would I expose 
myself to scientists and theologians?  Of course.  Your question seems 
nonsensical.
5.  Real logicians?  Of course I would welcome that.

I could be wrong, but as best I can tell, in theological circles, there 
appear to be biases expressed against concepts like rationalism and 
dualism and reductionism etc.  You seem to try and operate in line with 
those biases without really understanding the reasoning behind the 
criticisms leveled against the ideas expressed by these words.

I DID discuss it with you off the list but, you did not respond, David. What
we (most believers) have here is a failure to communicate with you (your

privately David, I mentioned Hobart Freeman. Please look at his legacy and,
take care. E. W. Kenyon's offspring are everywhere. Are you one of them?

I also asked you whether you'd be interested in exposing yourself to some
'real' believing scientists re: Genesis 1-3. Would you? Further David, would
you be interested in exposing yourself to some 'real' logicians (i.e.
philosophers who employ logic without falling prey to rationalism).

 fearing dangerous sect or cult.  The difference between us on this matter
 has to do with an understanding of faith.  Please read Heb. 11, and also
 consider that I only speak of my personal belief and practice, which is
 not
 the same as insisting others do the same.  Lastly, you should consider

Unitarians, of course, have beliefs.

Here is a definition of sectarian that allows many to escape the curse of "Sectarian !!"


Sectarianism refers (usually pejoratively) to a rigid adherence to a particular sect or party or denomination. It often implies discrimination, denunciation, or violence against those outside the sect. The term is most often used to refer to religious sectarianism, involving conflict between members of different religions or denominations of the same religion. It is also frequently used to refer to political sectarianism, generally on the part of a tight-knit political faction or party.
Sectarianism may, in the abstract, be characterized by dogmatism and inflexibility; sentimental or axiomatic adherence to an idea, belief or tradition; and idealism that provides a sense of continuity, orientation, and certainty. As a pejorative term, accusations of sectarianism may sometimes be used to demonize an opposing group.

These are not sects per se even if these men did get off into error and legalism
Philosophy can be every bit as evil - in fact we are warned to stay away from

I DID discuss it with you off the list but, you did not respond, David. What we (most believers) have here is a failure to communicate with you (your sect). You cite Heb 11 as if it amounted to 'case closed'. When I wrote you privately David, I mentioned Hobart Freeman. Please look at his legacy and, take care. E. W. Kenyon's offspring are everywhere. Are you one of them?

I also asked you whether you'd be interested in exposing yourself to some 'real' believing scientists re: Genesis 1-3. Would you? Further David, would you be interested in exposing yourself to some 'real' logicians (i.e. philosophers who employ logic without falling prey to rationalism).

You should be rejoicing with me, not fearing dangerous sect or cult. The difference between us on this matter has to do with an understanding of faith. Please read Heb. 11, and also consider that I only speak of my personal belief and practice, which is  not the same as insisting others do the same.

You might plead lack of intelligence or that the Holy Spirit is not a rationalist or any number of things, but it is quite simple and true that if you do not keep the commandments, you are not in Christ. Here is the reason that you and I cannot understand one another concerning the characteristics of a believer in his apprehension of knowledge and truth.

1. Jesus in His "sermon on the mount" assumed that all in the crowd were evil ("If you being evil know how ...) Does this mean that the parents of John the B were not in the crowd? And would the assumption apply to you, if you had been in attendance? It is in this very sermon that He tells them to be perfect? Does this mean the indwelling was offered to this multitude? Did Chrsit expect this crowd to obey all of why He said in the sermon. And when was the last time you cut off your hand or plucked your eye -- or haven't you ever committed such sins? 
2. Is sin only "transgression of law?" 
3. When we are told that we are " .. falling short of the glory of God," how is that a present time occurrence? 
4. If the saint were actually "dead to sin," why the continued teaching against sin and the constant [implied] call to [begin again] avoiding sin?

 Dave, for what it is worth, your view of hell is also shared by many
 Protestants.  In fact, a very well known hell fire and brimestone preacher
 by the name of Jed Smock (www.brojed.org) believes about hell pretty much
 just like you do.  Still, Jed will stand on campus and warn students 
 loudly
 about bur-r-r-n-n-ning in the la-a-a-ke of FI-I-I-R-R-E!  I was

 I did think from previous encounters that you believed there was no
 literal Hell.

 DAVEH:  Quite the contrary.   As I view it, hell is the physical 
 separation
 from God and his love.  The effect of such separation is similar to how it
 would feel if you were cast into the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem,
 except its effect would last forever.

 Are you saying then that it is not a place?

 DAVEH:  No, I did not say that.  If heaven is located in a place, then
 heaven is located in a place other than where heaven is located.  So yes,
 hell is a place.a place where God does not reside, nor does his love
 emanate.

 It is not physical?

 DAVEH:  Yes, it is a physical place, but the description of the lake of 
 fire
 and brimstone is symbolic representation of how folks will feel who end up
 there.  I do not believe people will literally be cast into a burning lake
 of fire and brimstone.  That is imagery, IMHO.

 If this literal Hell you speak of is not a place,

 DAVEH:   Since I do believe it is a place, the remaining questions seem
 irrelevant.

Now that I've satisfied your curiosity Kevin, let me now ask where you
 think the literal burning pit (hell) will be located?

I DID discuss it with you off the list but, you did not respond, David. What

we (most believers) have here is a failure to communicate with you (your

privately David, I mentioned Hobart Freeman. Please look at his legacy and, 
take care. E. W. Kenyon's offspring are everywhere. Are you one of them?

I also asked you whether you'd be interested in exposing yourself to some

you be interested in exposing yourself to some 'real' logicians (i.e.

2006-03-19 Thread Dave Hansen




What does this say about the Power of Mormonism?

DAVEH: I'd respond with..What does this say about the ability
of Kevin to understand what he reads? 

 As I said before, you seem to know a lot about LDS theology, but
you seem to have a problem understanding it. I can only surmise that
it is due to your anti-Mormon bias, Kevin. When you read the LDS
material you post, do you ever take the time to try to understand it
from the LDS perspective? It seems not, that you would rather take the
words out of context and then use them to support your own way of
thinking. That may impress some who are not aware of the context of
what you quote, but for somebody who is well founded in LDS thinking,
it only demonstrates your incapacity to understand truth. Your ability
to search, read, copy and paste is not in question, Kevin. But you
frequently seem to lack a fundamental understanding of what you are
actually talking about. DC 71 is a good case that illustrates your
lack of understanding. The section is short, so I will post the entire
revelation..

THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

SECTION 71

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon,
at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238239. The Prophet had
continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until
this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid
aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The
brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly
feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the
publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had
apostatized.

14, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the
gospel; 511, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.

1 BEHOLD, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun.,
and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary
and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my
gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out
of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which
shall be given unto you, even as I will.

2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round
about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it
shall be made known unto you.

3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.

4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the
earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and
revelations which are to come.

5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and
receive also;

6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even
power.

7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in
public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame
shall be made manifest.

8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the
Lord.

9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto youthere is no weapon that is
formed against you shall prosper;

10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded
in mine own due time.

11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even
so. Amen.


...Now Kevin, assuming you've read the above in its entirety,
notice the introduction that explains that this is a Revelation
given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon. Note vs
5, Kevin...

5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand
and receive also;

..Apparently you did not understand vs 8 ...

Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the
Lord

..which is what happens in SLC during Conference times twice
each year. Nor do you understand

their shame shall be made manifest.

.may refer to those who like the SPers who stand out along the
street waving underwear. Vs 9..

there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;

..I suspect the SPers waving the underwear profiteth little
from their exercise in futility.

if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in
mine own due time.

.Do you understand what he shall be confounded in mine
own due time means, Kevin? I would think you do, since when
you quoted it.

And if any man lift his voice against you
he shall be confounded

you conveniently left a pertinent part of that passagein
mine own due time...off. Very telling, IMO.

The effect of such separation is similar to how it would feel if you were cast into the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem, except its effect would last forever.Are you saying then that it is not a place?DAVEH: No, I did not say that. If heaven is located in a place, then heaven is located in a place other than where heaven is located. So yes, hell is a place.a place where God does not reside, nor does his love emanate.It is not physical?DAVEH: Yes, it is a physical place, but the description of the lake of fire and brimstone is symbolic representation of how folks will feel who end up there.

just like you do.  Still, Jed will stand on campus and warn students loudly 
about "bur-r-r-n-n-ning in the la-a-a-ke of FI-I-I-R-R-E!"  I was surprised 
the first time I learned that Jed believed the fire he preached was

DAVEH: You've surprised me, Kevin! I thought you'd want to
defend your position using material favorable to your
perspective...namely, the Bible. But that is OK, as the LDS sources
you've quoted plainly show the symbolism of the terms used to describe
hell. Why you would quote some of them somewhat surprises me, as they
succinctly show that distinction. I'll take each passage you quoted
and analyze it from the premise I've put forth.

whosesmoke ascendeth up forever and ever

DAVEH: A physical impossibility, and clearly symbolic of a time
frame rather than a physical smoke.

which lake of fire and brimstone is endless torment

DAVEH: That is explained by the fire and brimstone imagery
that is in reality endless torment.

a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire

DAVEH: More imagery that is physically an impossibility. Fire
can be extinguished, whereas mental torment can go on forever.

DC 76: 36 These are they who shall go away into the lake of
fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels

DAVEH: By taking the passage out of context, you miss some important
and pertinent information, Kevin

and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified
him unto themselves and put him to an open shame.

.This is referring to a small but special category of those who
(denied the Holy Spirit after having received it)
are referred to as sons of perdition. While this represents a tangent
thread which is not relevant to our discussion, please note vs 37 which
differentiates them from all the others as he only ones on whom
the second death shall have any power. This may not make sense
Kevin, but these are not the folks of whom we usually think about when
we talk about hell.

After what ye have seen, will ye preach again unto this people, that
they shall be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone?

DAVEH: Interestingly, you've quoted the chief judge (the antagonist)
who was chiding Alma  Amulek and while doing so, you have assumed
that the chief judge quoted Alma correctly. However Kevin, that is an
errant assumption, as the below quote shows...

[Alma 12:17] Then is the time when their torments shall be as
a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up
forever and ever; and then is the time that they shall be chained down
to an everlasting destruction, according to the power and captivity of
Satan, he having subjected them according to his will.

...Alma clearly taught that their torments were as a,
indicating that Alma's explanation of fire and brimstone
is a symbolic representation of hell.

and their gtorment is as a lake of fire and brimstone

DAVEH: Apparently you've got a serious computer virus, Keving
is infecting your posts! 

 The wording here suggests an analogy

torment is as a lake whose flame ascendeth up
forever and ever and has no end

...Again, clear symbolism that cannot be literally true. The two
words is as plainly show this to be an analogy.

sha ll have their part in that lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death

DAVEH: If there is any doubt as to the symbolic nature of hell, this
surely puts it to rest by explaining what is meant by.that
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone

whose smoke ascendeth up forever and ever

DAVEH: Another obvious literal impossibility that as an analogy makes
sense.

which lake of fire and brimst one is endless torment

especially when it is explained as endless torment.

the final state of the souls of  men is to dwell in the
kingdom of God, or to be cast out

DAVEH: Which pretty well explains the difference in venue.some
will reside in heaven, and some won't. Effectively, those not allowed
to dwell in heaven will be spiritually and severely self tormented
eternally.

 FWIWYou forgot to mention some of the other BoM passages
that when taken with the others pretty well reveal the symbolic nature
of the fire and brimstone hell. Consider Nephi's comments...


[2Ne 9:14] Wherefore, we shall have a perfect knowledge of all our
guilt, and our uncleanness, and our nakedness; and the righteous shall
