BLAINE:   BoM prophets were more faithful than the Jews, so knew far more of Jesus Christ.  Simple answer, huh?  Maybe too simple for your rather complicated belief/disbelief system.   By the way where exactly is the hill Rameumpton?   Blaine:  In BoM country, where else?  :>)  Why did the BoM "prophets preach repentance and they are OK but SP's do the same and they are wicked?   BLAINE:  Because the BoM prophets were called and commanded of God, "as was Aaron."    (See Hebrews 5:4) Could it be that present day Mormons are as hard hearted as the lamanites. BLAINE:    What you mistake for hard-heartedness is really the gift of discernment, which tells them whether a teaching is of God or otherwise.  They know that anyone preaching against the BoM is not of God. Could explain why LDS try to "drive us out"   Blaine:  See above.

We believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children . . .  and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell, for the which holiness, oh God,  we thank thee, . . . etc"  (Alma 31:13-21  Alma calls them to repentance for such arrogance, but they reject him, drive him out among the poor, whom they have also rejected.  Alma then preaches to the poor, many of whom receive his message.      In a message dated 5/17/2005 12:27:24 AM Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: DAVEH:   I'm not sure I am understanding your position on this, Kevin.  Why do you suggest JtB was not a Christian?
