Ask the member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints AKA Interrogate the Mormon

My main confusion about the LDS church dietary constraints (and it’s really applicable to the Catholic Church as well) is how can they justify prohibiting the overconsumption of meat when the NT quite literally says in 1 Timothy that the prohibition of foods is a sign of a false teacher.

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Now that I think about it, it’s more of a question for Catholicism because there seems to be some confusion within Mormonism on whether or not meat should be avoided but I’ll let Ender address that.

Technically, meats are not prohibited, as they can be eaten every day except for Fridays during Lent (I assume that this is what you are referring to). It is no longer a rule that Catholics must abstain from meat on Fridays (which is in commemoration of the crucifixion), but if we choose not to, we must substitute an act of charity or piety instead.

Comment if you were not born in or before 1988, the height of his artistry as well as the year Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car was released, and I will add you to the “Missed Billy Ocean” list.

Depends how you define “missed.” I’ve got three of his songs (“Caribbean Queen”, “Lover Boy”, and “When The Going Gets Tough”), so I’m not completely unfamiliar with him.

More accurately, I guess, it depends on how you define “him”…

His music transcends time, so I’m not surprised that you’re a huge fan. That being said, you missed his creative peak.

“Huge fan”, huh? I said I have exactly three of his songs. ;P

well but suppose you are talking about reading Psalm 23 at someone’s funeral or Luke 2 at Christmas or some other passage at a wedding or other special occasion. Poetic might be good there, right?

Yeah, it would probably be appropriate then. I think we Catholics use the Jerusalem Bible for all readings in Canada, though, regardless of the occasion.

With a book like the Bible, though, which some people base their whole life on, it’s probably more important to be accurate than be poetic. Especially when the original text is pretty prosaic. That being said, poetic isn’t bad, but it isn’t always very useful for making fine theological distinctions.

btw, I am making a project of reading through the entire King James Version and New International Version of the Bible. I have read through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Job, and am party through Deuteronomy in both Bibles.

Why Job? It’s not in the middle of the Pentateuch in the KJV, is it?

Bibles don’t rearrange by translation. Unless you count the inclusion of Apocryphal books in Catholic or Orthodox compilations.

Yeah, I know, which is why I thought it odd that he read Job right in the middle of the Pentateuch. My question was rhetorical, I guess.

This is idiotic.

One post prior you were replying directly to someone else. There was no reason assume you weren’t still engaged directly in the conversation taking place here as opposed to suddenly veering off into “everywhere else” territory in your next post.

But what should I have expected from someone who thinks “retarded” is a perfectly reasonable and not at all offensive insult?

Aren’t insults supposed to be offensive? 😉
