Scare much? I’m not Catholic. I believe the Bible, KJV, to be the Word of God. It’s just that I don’t follow Christian philosophers, but only the Word of God.

You’re wrong. Your views are wrong and aren’t supported in the Bible. The True Church must have the same organization and ordinances as the church Christ set up.

That is all.

Good day, sir.

Your frustration at not being able to support your contentions with scripture acknowledged.

The True Church must have the same organization and ordinances as the church Christ set up.

Well, let's see...haven't you gone to bat aplenty thru the years for the Mormon Church, 1010RD?

So tell us 1010RD:

(1) If Jesus had 12 apostles in Israel, as the Mormon Church portends...And then, as the Book of Mormon claims, he came to the Americas and set up another 12 apostles, doesn't that make (at least) two dozen apostles world-wide?

Why doesn't THEN the Mormon Church have two dozen "apostles" as part of their Apostles' Quorum?

While the Mormon Church attempts to "hearken" back to the Biblical Scriptures, if it was truly hearkening back to ALL that the Mormons claim as "Scripture," it would have at least 24 apostles, not 12. Maybe even 25 given Paul's addition. Yet it doesn't. It fails the "hearken" test.

Perhaps the Mormon apologists should stop this lying (or to give them the benefit of the doubt, they should stop bandying about false numbers as some sort of "proof" of its authenticity).

(2) And, hey, since we're on this sasme topic, we know the New Testament church had pastors (Eph. 4:11)...so where are the titled "pastors" in the LDS church if it indeed is a "restoration?"

The same Ephesians 4 section talks about titled "evangelists"? Where are the titled "evangelists" in the contemporary Mormon church if its a "restoration?"

We also know that Anna was a New Testament prophetess (Luke 2:36) and that Philip's daughters were also prophetesses in Acts 21:9. If the LDS Church is a restoration where are its titled prophetesses?

Guess we can agree that the Mormon Church flunks having "the same organization" as the New Testament church, right?
