Lost last post

This is an attempt to re-write a post I wrote. I wrote it on my mobile phone and I was sure that I hit the publish button, but if I did it didn't work and I lost everything I wrote.

I know I wrote about Miriam's last day of her school holidays. I took her surfing in the bay at Pt Addis. It was the second time we had surfed there. We have surfed a few different places over the holidays and it has been a lot of fun and good one-on-one time together.

Does the Book of Mormon Contradict the Bible?

-
  Someone, I (@gather_in_podcast) have been chatting with on Threads recently, asked me to read this article,  ContradictionsBetween the Book of Mormon and the Bible | Institute for ReligiousResearch (irr.org)  and "let the Holy Spirit work". You will notice that firstly, the title of the article gives away the authors conclusion. I have re-titled it as a question. Jared Halverson (BYU, Unshaken Saints) has suggested a formula for examining information critical to our beliefs as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the Three S formula - Selective, Superficial, and Sensational. Most critical writing (or videos etc.) exhibit most, but not necessarily all, of these elements. So, let me just look at the first point made in this article. 1. The Book of Mormon teaches that little children are not capable of sin because they do not have a sinful nature (Moroni 8:8). In contrast, the Bible in Psalm 51:5 clearly teaches that we have sinful natu...

Post mission report No 2

-
 Friday 24 November 2023 The past week we have been on the road again. The floors at Archimedes Ave are being sanded and refinished, so we can’t be there while all that work is being done. We moved everything from the rest of the house in to our bedroom so the floors in all the other rooms can be worked on, and then when we move everything back in to the house from the shipping container, and out of our bedroom, we can get the floors done in our bedroom, so that they match the rest of our house. So, last Monday and Tuesday nights we stayed with Miriam and Taylor at The Gurdies, the we stayed Wednesday night with Stephanie Woodford back in Geelong, and last night and tonight we are staying with Josie Whalebone at her new house in Bacchus Marsh. Today we had lunch with Ros Richardson, and old friend of Margot’s whom she served with as a Stake Missionary way back in Normanhurst Ward when they were both young and single. We had a nice lunch and a good chat. Ros’s husband, Craig, passed...

Post-mission Report No 1.

-
 Well, we've been home 6 weeks now. If you go to my Mission Report Blog, you will see our report about the drive home which took about 2 weeks. We were officially released from our mission by our Stake President Taula, a couple of nights after returning home, but it honestly wasn't until we had given our home-coming talks that really felt like it was "done". The first Sunday in Geelong for us was General Conference video weekend. We didn't attend - we just watched it online. We had already seen about 80% of it before the weekend anyway. The second Sunday here in Geelong we had some Japanese friends from Cairns come with us to Church, which we very much enjoyed, and we all felt very welcome. Lots of hugs etc. Then the next Sunday, Miriam and Taylor came over to see us, and they came to Church with us, of course. Then the next Sunday our young friend C_____, who lives here in Geelong, came to Church with us, which again was very enjoyable. Last Sunday 12th November...
