Dude, I thought you said I was intelligent...
And did you catch your Manifesto being posted on CB? http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=1903623 I think he has you pegged to a T. |

As long as we're not looking beyond the mark, how are you doing at loving your neighbors? You seem to feel a rather large amount of animosity towards board members here.
To condemn learning in any of its forms is a surprising, if not deplorable, practice. The Saints, as a whole, would benefit from a lot more learning, not more avoiding of learning.

So a prophet needs to say it before it is true?
The importance of learning and intelligence has been a constant theme of the restoration. We teach that the glory of God is intelligence, that a man's knowledge is one of only two things he takes with him into the next life, that he is benefitted greatly from the light and knowledge that he acquires, and so forth. Admonitions from just about every one of the prophets urge the Saints to stretch their minds, and often times mourn the wasted potential of the Saints. Am I really so far off base as to believe that what they are saying is true?

I'm sticking with Elder Maxwell on this one, personally. If you don't feel his statements apply to anything you do, then okay. I don't have a problem with that. |

That verse in Jacob refers to Jews who did two things: (1), neglected the plain and precious truths of the gospel in order to (2), show everybody that they grasped concepts that were too tough for the weak minds around them. A sincere seeker of truth builds his knowledge upon the truths of the gospel that he has already received-- some of the most deep gospel conversations I've ever had nevertheless were centered on Faith, Repentance, Baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. I don't know Fusnik well enough to determine the status of his soul, but if I were pressed to pass judgement on him based on his posts, I'd say he is sincerely seeking knowledge and sharing what he finds. I don't think the bitterness extended to him is justified.
