Illegal Immigration and the Fulfillment of Book of Mormon Prophecy (Why Mormons Oppose Trump)
ldsliberty.org ^ | Apr 30, 2010 | Greg West

The recent signing of a controversial immigration law in Arizona has generated a lot of media attention. While passions run high and the two sides trade epithets, protests are being organized that have the potential to turn violent and further polarize the nation.

...snip...

Latter-day saints regard the lands of North, South, and Central America as this choice land. It has been foreordained by God to be a land of freedom. In 2 Nephi chapter 1, we read the words of Nephi, where he rejoiced that God had given his posterity this land by covenant.

...snip...

The growth of the Church in Mexico, Central, and South America has been miraculous–so much that more members of the Church speak Spanish than English as their primary language. This is the fulfillment of prophecy. Yet there are other prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled. <

...snip....

Meanwhile, in my opinion, in light of the Book of Mormon’s statements, anyone who invests their energies to confront and fight against illegal immigration misspends his energies. This is part of the Lord’s plan that will chasten the wicked Gentiles in America and ultimately establish Zion in Jackson County, Missouri. God himself has placed this problem among us to bring to pass his own purposes and fulfill covenants made to ancient and modern prophets. The descendants of Lehi were given the land by covenant. The rest of us are just tenants and squatters. Only those Gentiles who repent and accept the fullness of the restored gospel will find an ultimate solution to the problem of illegal immigration. That solution will be realized only when we are “no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. (Ephesians 2:19)

Reading from the ‘Book of Mormon’ is like reading from the Planet of the Apes sacred scrolls.

They are both based on fantasy. It is sad to see so many good and honest people adhere to that cult.

don’t over think the term religion, trust and mormon. Mormons have a widespread problem with Adultery. The founder; Joseph Smith, had a personal gun slinger to do his killing. His name is Orrin Porter Rockwell and his Nickname is Old Port and labeled “the Destroying Angel of Mormondom” He was a bodyguard and personal friend of Joseph Smith. Mormons claim to be peace loving people, but they know how to hire a gunslinger to do their dirty work. Mormons claim that their love for peace is so strong that they are exempt from joining our military to defend our country. Mitt Romney served his church by missions to preach the message of peace and Mormons lies. There is a deep problem with this religion, church members killing church members over religious artifacts and documents. The Mormon church controls the news media in Utah and they dont publish the dark side of their religion.

...who are the lost tribes of Israel...

There's so such thing as "lost tribes of Israel".

Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.

Beginning to believe Mormons are pure nuts. What Utah did for delegates is now understood.

“There are lots of conservative Mormons but just like other religions, they do tend to follow their leaders.”

Not all of the time. Good Mormons voted out Chris Cannon and Robert Bennett so their is some sanity in that religion.

So this is why Mitt the Mexican has his magic panties in a knot. Explains a lot!

It does, indeed. I am sure there are other reasons but it seems beyond a business component o cheap labor, there is a religious component to Romney and his Utah cult wanting to stop the building of a wall.

Those who are opposed don't even mention his immigration stance (which isn't all that different from Romney's stated views in 2012), they mention stylistic things-- he is rude, crude, impolite, etc.

Dang! I'm in good company!

Those are VERy good excuses to IGNORE the blatant problems found in Mormonism.

Not quite.

There are many Mormons in the service of our country.

Cult compared to what? The ELCA crowd who thinks they can buy their way into heaven by importing anti-Christian Somali Muslims into Minnesota? The Rev. Wright crowd who claims to be Christian with Black Supremacist theology and G— D-— America rants? Even the huge Mormon hating crowd on Free Republic that thinks they can get into heaven by proclaiming they believe while taking cheap shots at Mormons and Catholics, many of whom have far better conservative credentials than them?

It also explains why a certain sitting senator was more than happy to utilize Glenn Beck to make a certain state come out a certain way. And that included a “swearing-in” ceremony at, of all things, a Bible college.

It would hilarious in irony, were it not actually reality.

The REAL miracle is the return of once-atheist/communist Russia to the Holy Orthodox Church!!!! The pace of Baptisms, church-building, etc.in Russia dwarfs anything in the Mormon world.

Mormons are PAGANS, whose phony, tacky rites and buildings are suffused with Masonic and other bogus influences! (The cult of “open borders” is part and parcel of that.) The LDS is close to Muhammadanism in many ways, too.

Members of the LDS MUST learn about the Orthodox Church, including attending Divine Liturgy and /or Vespers. The Orthodox Church—the original First Century Christian Church—had little or no presence in North American in the days of Joseph Smith. Neither Smith nor others who became early Mormons thus had a chance to experience it. It is high time to remedy this.

“It comes from the people that attempt to steal the souls of dead Jewish Holocaust victims”

how do mormon baptisms for the dead steal anyone souls? what a load of rubbish. do you really believe that their proxy baptisms somehow imprison the souls of anyone? get real. how does performing a ritual for someone who doesn’t believe in the effectiveness of that ritual have any effect? we’re not talking voodo or black magic are we?

I think you meant “salvation” as opposed to “imprison”.

Yes, it’s complete garbage. They could do that for Madalyn Murray O’Hair (rest in pieces, literally) or Adolph Hitler.

Elsie—where have you been? i thought that by now you would have found existence on a higher astral plane? i guess that now that the opportunity has passed for Romney to be selected by a brokered convention, you needed to reappear on FR to share your wisdom about those terrorist mormons who are out to ensnare us weak-minded Christians? some of us may be a little smarter than you give us credit for. why don’t you spend some of your spare time sharing some of your concerns with the poor, misguided followers of Mohammed? a visit to a nearby mosque might be a good place to start.
