Back at the Post - Where I write and were I am coming from

Back at the Post - Where I write and were I am coming from

Its been a number of years since I was active in this bog space having preferring my own website http://peoplespassions.org/peoplesfaith/peoplesfaith.htm and 
facebook https://www.facebook.com/steven.r.marquis

However, I thought better of that recently that a place to more freely dialog on the many challenging and sometimes controversial topics would be more appropriate. I will still maintain the website collection of essays and will use this blog entry to point to that growing collection leaving this space to discuss the topics so raised. 

 Common Christian philosophy has been subject to significant and in some case well deserved critique. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is somewhat singular in its interpretations and does not fall to much of that critique. Furthermore, it does provide some rather striking explanations for some of the harshest critiques that being a believer in the God(s) of the Bible might invite. You might say that Mormon Christian faith is in many regards an answer to those critiques. Our understandings correct for much of that error while embracing much of the truth that survived. In fine, I would argue the Restored Gospel of Jesus is the best of both worlds. My preference to to make our case rather than devote months of time to a point to point rebuttal of critical apologists. I've don't that gig before and simply don't have the time these days nor see the RTI. 

You see from my perspective I've seen the parting of the red sea and so I'm not at risk if I cant explain everything. But with over 200 pages of essays in my collection on just about every useful topic Im hardly shying from the fray - just picking and choosing  where I spend my efforts.


Also, the naysayer has nothing of value to offer in its place making the journey to his mist filled side-road useful. All the contrarian has to offer is to claim I'm a worthless collection of dust soon enough to die, rot and stink and be forgotten. Why would I be incentivized to try and prove that???

Now, if you have a particular topic to broach then I'd be game to engage. 

All my best, Steve Marquis
