Abishag, I was just going to apologize to you, too. You have always been very sweet. In fact, I just found out you are a girl!! : ) Lynn is my little conscience/friend who helps me navigate this minefield sometimes, and told me.

I was only being supportive of what you said and stand for, though. I DO go by the Bible as far as it is interpreted correctly. We study it in SS along with all the other churches. I have read it, grew up on it, and cherish it as well. People have a misconception about us if they think otherwise. God has talked to other people along with those in the middle east, though.... He visited America before he ascended and established his church here at one time, too. (South America to be exact). Those peoples had a reign of peace where they lived the commandments for over 300 years! We only use the Book of Mormon as a companion to the Bible as a witness of Christ. Of course we believe in modern day revelation as well...because we believe the authority of the priesthood has, again, been restored with all its keys. And that the heavens are open again.... The Lord Jesus Christ is, again, directing His church. We have prophets guiding us through Him....who's church this is. It does not mean we believe those of you sticking only to the Bible
