WordPress problems, missing posts

December 9, 2008

There was a problem tonight with WordPress, where many WordPress users, using the system during a certain period of time, had all of their custom sidebar code dissapear.  Unfortunately, I was a beneficiary of that bug. I’ll work to restore that code as quickly as possible, since it is what granted access to all my [...]

Is “anti” contrary to Christianity?

December 7, 2008

You can be “non” without being “anti”.  I’m not a protestant (I’m Mormon), but that doesn’t make me anti-protestant.  The two are mutually exclusive.  And there’s a big difference from being “non” (like being non-Mormon), and being anti.  One is innocent, without malice, while the other is focused upon criticism and destruction. I recently commented [...]

Are Mormons Christian? Do doctrinal differences define us?

December 7, 2008

The second post in the series “Christian Mormons“, answering the question “Are Mormons Christian“. There’s a reason this post comes second, only after “a look at the question itself“, because all of the other supporting posts, answering the questions of critics, stem from one common theme… we’re different. I’m a Product Manager in practice, so [...]

Are Mormons Christian? A look at the question itself

December 5, 2008

Why is this question so important?  Why does it deserve its own post?  Does it really matter what another person says about me? Absolutely.  Particularly in cases when it leads to the confusion of others who are sincere. Labels are a powerful thing.  For example, we’ve all known for a painfully prolonged period of time [...]

Mormons Are Christians

December 3, 2008

As I posted to the question “Are Mormons Christian“, the answer, of course, is a resounding and emphatic yes, and I explain why that answer is so clear. The dictionary, used to determine socially accepted definitions terms, defines a Christian as “one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ”, and “one who follows [...]

The things of God are of deep import

November 24, 2008

Joseph Smith once said the following… “A fanciful and flowery and heated imagination beware of, because the things of God are of deep import, and time, and experience, and careful, and solemn, and ponderous thoughts can only find them out.  Thy mind, oh man, if thou wilt lead a soul unto salvation must stretch as [...]

Don’t abandon your children

November 21, 2008

Today Nebraska lawmakers voted (43-5) to change the state safe-haven law.  All 50 states have these safe-haven laws, allowing parents to leave infants at a hospital anonymously without fear of prosecution.  They were passed in an effort to prevent unwanted babies from being abandoned in less safe locations. But when Nebraska set up their law, [...]
