A second post with the same theme. Unity of thought on a large scale only exists in the presense of some type of tyranny or imposed authority. The fact that the Mormon church does not allow for such is not an advantage to my way of thinking. The fact that the Mormon religion does not agree with with the First and PreApostate Church including the First Scriptures is also a troubling circumstance. The fact that Mormon Jewish history is so different from Jewish Jewish history is not a plus either. And the fact that Mormonism does not understand the redemptive act of Christ is devastating.
The notion, Blaine, that there is much blood in the garden, that Christ's sweat was blood --------------- where does that come from. Certainly not the biblical message. Except for Peter's attack on the Roman guard, I doubt there was a single drop of blood in the garden. Reliance on guess work and fabled tradition are not a part of the Christian Faith you have been exposed to here on TT.
