DivideAsunder.org is a new forum, or weblog. The theme and motive of DivideAsunder.org is based off of Helaman 3:29-30 in the Book of Mormon, which reads:
Yea, we see that whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil, and lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to engulf the wicked—
And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls, at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers, to go no more out.
In short, the basic goal in all the discussion should be to use the words of the Lord in both ancient and modern scripture, as well as the word's spoken by modern prophets and other general authorities, scholars, and leaders to divide truth from fallacy as it pertains to topics of religious belief. Although LDS doctrine and LDS references will appear in the discussion and many of the LDS faith will participate, representatives of all faiths are, of course, welcome to participate in the discussions.
The topics discussed will vary, and will not only be limited by an exclusively religious theme. Truth is eternal and encompasses all things; therefore, discussion will involve the political, the scientific, social issues, and various other aspects of our mortal probation and the events and issues of life.
Elder Ballard, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, has recently written an article entitled "Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet". (July 2008 Ensign) I encourage everyone to read it. All discussion should be carried out in the spirit of truth and testimony. Sensitivity and maturity should prevail within the discussion postings. Any content considered offensive or inappropriate will be promptly deleted and the participant may be blocked from further participation.
This is a new web place, and so to get started we ask for your opinion on format. Below is a poll. Please select one or two preferences below as to how to initiate future discussions. Please only vote once. And add any comments or suggestions to the comment section of this posting.
We look forward to getting started very soon. Thank you for visiting. Come back soon, as we will begin discussions shortly.
