@mjackson How did Mormons build up the React ecosystem without caffeine

@DavidKPiano Who says we did it without caffeine? 😅

@mjackson Do you believe that book of Mormon is True in historical sense (that it is really a book about real events, produced in a time around those events), or you think it is a true book in more metaphorical sense (aka Jordan Peterson sense), without necessarily true origin and

@andrii_white I believe it is literally true; that the events described in the Book of Mormon actually happened.

@mjackson Why is there need for another book, when there is already the Bible ? Its kinda the only thing that I couldn't wrap my head around. It pushes mormonism into the gnostic territory for me although I find mormons pretty christian in all aspects. Reminds me of the accounts of

@rajeshdavidbabu Good question. Another way to ask this question is: if god spoke to people in the Bible, why wouldn’t he also speak to people living elsewhere on earth? And if he did, why wouldn’t they also write it down? In Ezekiel 37 it talks about a “stick of Judah” and a “stick of Joseph”

@mjackson What is your Kingdom doctrine?

@wabbithole7 I’m not sure what that means. Are you talking about heaven, after we die? Or the kingdom of god on earth?

@mjackson is polygamy still a thing, unofficially, in some groups?

@igalklebanov Some people definitely still practice polygamy, mainly in southern Utah. But the church does not promote this practice or recognize these marriages as valid.

@mjackson Why are there so many goated Mormon web developers?

@benjaminsehl They force us to read the Book of Mormon in raw HTML and JSON every day from a young age

@mjackson Do you think of faith as 'believing something without needing evidence'? Or does your faith feel evidence-based? If not - what else other than Mormonism do you have believe? As an atheist, I've never been able to wrap my mind around that.

@mattpocockuk Great question. I believe faith is “the evidence of things not seen”. In other words, it is the hope that I have of a better world, and the evidence is the things I do to make a better world. My faith is based on Jesus Christ; that a better world is even possible because of

@mjackson What is the biggest difference in the way you interpret the “standard” Christian bible as compared to mainline Protestantism? Said differently, what do Protestants get wrong about their own bible, in your view?

@samuelcook_ We read the King James Version of the Bible, but as far as I know we don’t prohibit other translations of the Bible from being used in our meetings. The biggest difference between our church and mainline Protestants is that we believe the heavens are open again and that God

@mjackson Have you every doubted the belief that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of the Yahweh? Have you get some rational responses to those doubts? Or spirit moved them away without necessarily rational resolutions?

@andrii_white I have wondered about this, yes. The reason I believe that Joseph Smith was a true prophet is because I believe the Book of Mormon is a true book that could only have been translated and brought forth by the gift and power of God. https://www.churchofjesuschris...

@mjackson Have you watched the musical The Book of Mormon and do you find it offensive? (I saw it and I thought it was pretty funny with some embarrassing parts and always thought on how the Mormon community feel about it haha)

@guil1095 I haven’t seen it, no. I probably should, just because it’s so popular. So I have some context when people talk about it. But generally I try not to take criticism of the church too seriously and have fun with people who poke fun at us, like South Park.

@mjackson Do you think Joseph, son of Jacob(Israel), prophesied about coming of Joseph Smith in Genesis 50:33?

@andrii_white Good question! Yes, I do. I believe there are other Old Testament prophets who prophesied of Joseph Smith too. For example, in Isaiah 29 he speaks about a “sealed book” that is delivered to one who is “unlearned”. I believe this is a direct reference to Joseph Smith receiving

@mjackson What parts of the South Park episode “All about Mormons” do you disagree with?

@Benghamine Ohh, it’s been a while since I watched that one. I remember thinking it was funny tho. I try not to take my religion too seriously. In the end, it’s a church run by imperfect people. We try our best!

@mjackson Do you believe in the divinity of Jesus and the triune God?

@PraveenPerera I do believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. I do not know what the triune God is.

@mjackson Why do you have to be told which church to go to? The Mormons I know have to go to the church in the district which they live, but I have never really understood why.

@NotNordgaren I can only really speculate on the reasons we are asked to go to the congregation we are assigned to. I think it has something to do with the fact that our clergy are all volunteers and the church should be the same anywhere you go, so it’s designed to discourage playing
