Don't you diss the beautiful platypus, they are the most amazing an d wonderful creatures. Some of them live in the river on my brother's property and as they are shy it is a real treat to occasionally see them! The baby ones are called 'puggles'! Whose ever is holding them better be careful, their poisonous spurs are quite painful I would take the risk for a hold of those cuties 👍

For an active believing Mormon, Jana is a free thinker. What is revelation? link

It was a horrible mistake because it had a body count connected to it. Many gay Mormon youths committed suicide because of it. Thousands of people resigned from the Mormon church over it. And that is the real reason they changed the policy back, they realized that they were going to blink out of existence because they had alienated so many, especially the young. It probably was a mistake...Actually the change is odd since it still requires the parents to agree that their lifestyle is a horrible deviant transgression of the Mormon faith and the kid has to be taught that. Basically they are pretending to overlook something that repulses them so the kids apparently won't kill themselves or they can still get tithes from the parents that repulse them. Still that wouldn't have much to do with God making a mistake and they probably haven;t admitted to it anyway. It is being perceived as a "don't ask, don't' tell" situation regarding parents, as now local bishops determine discipline of transgressions in regards to gay couples.

There are two ways to look at it.
1) If we believe in the conventional definition of God then no God cannot make mistakes (if you accept the premise that God is God). The conventional definition is that God is consistent and all knowing. A mistake on his part will create inconsistency.
2) If you believe that religions are inspired by God but written by human beings who are obviously not perfect then it is possible that things written in the name of God could be because of a mistake as humans who wrote the religions had a lack of complete knowledge.

In terms of Christianity only the Catholic church can claim to be the true church of Jesus Christ as it can be traced back to Peter, basically the first pope, and then went down through the generations til today (i.e. www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm ). all other Christian religions are started by man and are flawed as while they might have some of the truth, they don't have the whole truth like the Catholic church does as the Catholic church is the one He (Jesus Christ) guides since it's His church. Unless people misinterpret what Jesus meant.
When I grew up, I was given to understand Jesus was talking about Peter's faith. Of course at the time it was also made clear that Roman Catholicism was something one converted from to became a Christian.

the evolution of mitigating circumstances
not long after the united stated of hysteria reached it's predicted overload of lawyers and summited-out on how to best divest overseas assets before their royalty figures out who you've been screwing all these years we the supposed people generated the department of irradiated fears to yet prey upon the fact that there's only so much flack any gun can misfire before someone wants his or her monies back seeings how we can't even operate anywhere in the black unless you're counting illiteracy rates while throwing in admissions hush money as some form of justifiable counter attack.

Human beings are the ones that make the mistakes and then using the deluded notion of a biblical God as a sounding board, because that is what he would endorse, is an even bigger mess of a mistake. Unless they can prove beyond their own personal judgements and condemnations of what they "only" think their God wants with some logical and believable evidence, these Mormons are insidious and ignorant manipulators. The Mormons just finished their semiannual General Conference. A theme of many of the talks by leaders was that time is short, we must all repent, and we need to convert to their religion and do their ordinances and take covenants to obey the leaders or we will lose out in heaven. I saw one comment by an ex-Mormon that this amounts to "spiritual terrorism"....

That one commentator was essentially correct, not a moron at all. Do you wish to be in the presence of God and with your family in heaven? According to Mormon leader's talks this weekend this is only possible if you become a Mormon, obey Mormon leaders, pay tithing, have a Mormon baptism, and go through Mormon Temple rituals. You see no other option? I guess this means you are going to become a Mormon?

The Mormon leader was only expressing the view that is arguably the logical view for any religious leader who believes that his church is the one and only TRUE one. So, I can empathize with him. It just amuses me that such leaders think that such a teaching is reconcilable with a loving and understanding god.

Yes, if one comes from the viewpoint that Russell M. Nelson is the Infaliable Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of the only completely true church then what he said is logical. But if you take what Christ actually taught, it is not because it does not align with His teachings about God and love.
