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.

comment Is there any biblical basis for believing in the Book of Mormon?
Also see this question and its answers and also note Revelation 1:10-11 which puts "this book" into context, being the Book of the Revelation of St. John the Divine.

comment Are there analogues to the Mormon/LDS high school seminary in other Christian denominations?
Most students do attend before school in the mornings, but in highly-Mormon-populated areas (Utah, Arizona, etc), they have "release-time" seminary, where a seminary class during the day actually counts toward school credit. More official information about the LDS seminary program: seminary.lds.org

comment What symbols are unique to the various denominations?
What's the difference b/w the Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox? They look pretty much the same to me?

comment What does the LDS (Mormon) church teach about who Jesus is and where He came from?
@nickecarlo No, that is LDS belief. Those who chose to follow Christ (and thus the Father) come to Earth, gain physical bodies, and prove themselves and learn and grow. Those who followed Satan in the pre-earth life forfeited that blessing and are servants of the devil. Their official website explains this more: lds.org/plan/our-eternal-life (see all the links on the left side)

comment What does the LDS (Mormon) church teach about who Jesus is and where He came from?
Some Christianity believes that the Holy Trinity is three-in-one, or three beings in one being. LDS doctrine distinctly teaches the doctrine of the godhead, which means 3 separate individuals. My answer in the question you linked to says nothing to indicate that Mormons think Jesus is excluded from or believe in the Holy Trinity. To be clear, "Holy Trinity" is a term not really found in LDS teachings. "Godhead" is more correct, and it includes Jesus. (I since clarified further my other answer.)

comment What did Brigham Young teach regarding Blood Atonement, and is that doctrine still held today in the LDS/Mormon Church?
Further, this is informative: newsroom.lds.org/article/… under the "Violence in Mormon History" heading.

comment What did Brigham Young teach regarding Blood Atonement, and is that doctrine still held today in the LDS/Mormon Church?
Sure it does. He was a "church member and leader" during the 19th century. It's clear from this statement that that "doctrine" was never taught nor endorsed by Brigham Young or by the Church and that the idea spawns from twisted interpretations of archaic language. Thus, further of your original questions such as "Where is this teaching found?" or "Is this doctrine still believed today?" are invalid, any answer simply implying that at once the doctrine used to be taught and endorsed. I see this as a comprehensive and accurate answer to your question.

Mostly I jest, but I find it ironic that your answer starts with "I doubt."

comment What was Brigham Young's teaching regarding Adam being God?
For the record, that is not a term I invented and does not, by default, carry a particular bias. Additionally, it appears numerous times in LDS (and non-LDS) documents: lds.org/search?lang=eng&query=%22enemies+of+the+church%22
