I like to make programs and devices smarter and easier to use. I experiment with new, brilliant interface concepts. I'm a programmer, designer, web developer, and a nice guy.
I like to take pictures. I enjoy good humor in others and the simple things in life, like thunderstorms. Music is a great companion. I seek after anything of good report which makes life more fulfilling.
I believe choices make us who are, and are a major part of how we and others feel.

Reason for creating unnecessary creatures Well, ask any biologist or zoologist. Don't forget that even insects play an important role in the food chain and ecosystem of other species on the Earth which God placed here. |

What is the purpose and basis for the special garments issued to temple-going Mormons? PS. I only know it after looking it up... my research is usually shallow because I also don't get home until the evening. Feel free to be more comprehensive. |

What is the purpose and basis for the special garments issued to temple-going Mormons? The ordinances, garments, etc, all came together, and yes it was introduced to the Saints by Joseph Smith. About halfway down in the "Historical Background" section from that linked article: "When the Church was restored to the earth in our day, the sacred priesthood ordinances associated with the holy temple were revealed anew to the Prophet Joseph Smith. The revelations he received included instructions about the garment." The next paragraph after this bit is really interesting about scriptural mentions. |

Are there any Protestant beliefs which have their roots in Mormon doctrines? (con't.) ... Smith actually is not known to have said that his translation of the Bible was complete. In fact, Mormons use the KJV Bible -- nothing more, nothing less, and Smith's translations were never finished before he died. The records brought to Smith by Moroni (why the quotes?) weren't Biblical books and don't append to the Bible. I just wanted to clarify these things. Your overview of the Protestant tradition is quite comprehensive and, IMO, satisfies the question. |

Are there any Protestant beliefs which have their roots in Mormon doctrines? Nice answer. The last paragraph is the only thing keeping me from voting +1. That translations of the Bible are somewhat incomplete or errant is of little significance to Smith's teachings. Instead, his basis was the doctrine and testimony of Christ. Smith said (see p. 49), "The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it." (to be continued)... |

In what sense do Mormons believe salvation is only through Christ? @MonikaMichael Well which first one? The one about other gods saving their followers, or the one about why Mormons believe in salvation only through Christ? |

In what sense do Mormons believe salvation is only through Christ? @MonikaMichael This question is bouncing all over the place. Can you choose just one (e.g. why Christ is the only Savior) for this post, and then open another one about other gods and proselytizing? And even then, missionary work is a very different topic from polytheism. |

Water Baptism - Is it still necessary? Made the claims less cohesive and binding; now allowing for various combinations depending on sect |

Water Baptism - Is it still necessary? I see your point. The question as it stands is too general to narrow it down specifically. I will edit my answer and attempt to separate these statements so that they don't appear to be so cohesive. This way, there will be flex in the answer to compensate for the different combinations of beliefs. |

Water Baptism - Is it still necessary? @SanJacinto Sorry, could you clarify? Which part of it is wrong? I make it clear that the answer varies widely depending on tradition, and the question doesn't specify a sect. |
