At least I gave some statistics. You have given zilch, nada my friend - except for your unfounded opinion, which I have provided at least some statistics to show are unfounded. I don't share your opinion that minorities are being especially "targeted." Such is especially not so in Europe. I do happen to dislike the sex ed program in public schools and believe that the epidemic of unwed mothers and abortions began and coincided with sex ed in the schools. But I don't believe this was a result of "Protestant" intervention either. I believe the sex ed program was essentially pushed through by non-Protestant liberals and feminists who infiltrated the education dept. Most Protestants reacted negatively to the sex ed program. The point being that as a Christian parent I taught my own children the birds and the bees, and why they should abstain from sex until they get married. Without such guidance it is apparent that minority children were more influenced by the sex education program which offered no moral or ethical teaching along with all their hormone-promoting talk of intercourse and pictures. Sadly, in this sense I am forced to agree with you, but the children in public schools whether they be Protestant or otherwise were all equally subjected to this sex education without a moral compass, so how do you believe the minorities are "targeted?"
I gave a reference which you did not care for, and instead accused me of lying or trying to trick you.
I think you have a deep religious bias which you refuse to give up. This insistence of yours that abortion statistics all seem to come from the Guttmacher Institute is simply not valid.
Yes---however the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" is not. Rather, it was invented by Joseph Smith less than 200 years ago.
No supposed "Great Apostasy" has ever occurred in Christ's one historic Church---nor could it---unless Jesus Christ himself is a liar (Mt. 16:18). And, thus, no such "restorations" have ever been required. This is perhaps the fatal flaw in the Mormon belief system, though there are certainly many others as well.
Christ's words didn't fail. The stone of revelation has been fulfilled even by apostasy in his own church on the earth which He Himself prophesied would occur in the darkness in which no man could work. Peter is not the only rock of revelation the Lord has my friend, but your "pope" is not one, nor is he among the last of the 144,000 prophets to be sealed by the end of the sixth seal in Revelation 7.
1. It depends which spirit is doing the affirming.
Making copies would be a complete waste of my time, as those contain virtually nothing about what being the rock meant. The Lord is the rock of our salvation - why? Why is Jesus the chief cornerstone? I proffer because He is steadfast and unchanging in His revelation to us, and changes not in His righteousness. As the chief cornerstone Jesus was the revelation of the Father to us. Thus, what Jesus is telling Peter is that you are going to be of that rock and follow me to the cross. That is the stone on which the kingdom will be built - not your earthly church - sorry.
I assumed you were referring to the Holy Spirit of the New Testament.
How, exactly, would He do this...?
Course it would be! Why?....The book of Mormon makes THIS blasphemous statement against the Holy Bible.
Your tacit claim to know and comprehend the content of my posted sources without having read them is noted, and rejected as patented nonsense. Here you merely beg the question in favor of your present bias toward the Mormon belief system. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis: "A Mormon has to be very careful of what he reads." Your deliberate avoidance of relevant material is noted, as is the lack of intellectual integrity that stands behind it.
Categorically refuted here, here, here, here, and here.
