I used the term “enclave” instead of “conclave” real late last night, and just got a note from William Hamblin of BYU pointing out my error. It is so nice to know I am kept to such a high standard by so many. He also informed me he read Scripture Alone. Rather random note, to be sure. Glad to hear that, too.
I think I may take some time off blogging to prepare for the debate. That Spurgeon quote I posted a while back is really coming in handy these days.
Statements of General Authorities in Conference The semi-annual General Conferences of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provide a forum for the leaders of the Church to provide constant, up-to-date guidance of the LDS Church. Here the Apostles gather with the Prophet and instruct the Church on issues doctrinal and moral. The LDS Church has diligently recorded the
Dr. White shares and responds to variety of negative feedback over various aspects of his apologetics work, including Roman Catholicism and White’s “printer manual” analogy, as well as the LDS church. A caller asks about the state of Mormon “research” concerning archeology and the book of Mormon

I would encourage believers there in Texas, even those who are not particularly focused upon evangelizing Mormons, to find the time to visit the temple
But let us look at the specifics of this anti-apologetic, anti-evangelical position. First, Owen says Mormonism “allows” “certain heresies” in its system.

Johnson’s chapter The Reformation, Today’s Evangelicals, and Mormons: What Next? in By Faith Alone: Answering the Challenges to the Doctrine of Justification (Crossway, 2007). In Johnson’s chapter, he corrects Millet’s communication of a
Nothing like an odd headline, eh? OK, here’s what it’s all about. Concept 2 rowing machines. Here’s what they look like. OK, I got hooked on rowing while on a cruise a while back. They had these in the gym on the ship, and I loved it. Tried to get started with a cheapie Sears type when I got home,
