If you call Joseph Smith marrying 9 to 11 women already married to other men as "saving" them...
Decisions decisions!

I'm waiting for you to extend the same courtesy to Mormons who manage to attack the Bible; the very Book they say they believe in; somewant - sometimes - if it doesn't conflict with something Joe or Brigham wrote.
Who says he DID; oh Wise One?
Birds of a feather...
Well WE sure are!
You pathetic, so called 'christians' that won't even TRY to carry out the law are PATHETIC!!
We Righteous LDS Organization members follow the LAW and we do it VERY well!
Why; we've even got MORE law - although you Gentiles know it as the Word of Wisdom.
--MormonDude(Did I mention that you are pathetic?)
Good try; but not yet; it isn't!
HA Ha ha!
And YET you LDS Organization members CONSTANTLY refer to IT as the be all and end all of apologetics!
Your 'man behind the curtain' act is WELL known!
The issue is fundamental theology and what does the LDS do with the PERSON and DEITY of Jesus Christ and the authority of the scriptures (the texts as received in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek...not "as far as it is translated correctly, article of Faith #8).
Is the Book of Mormon the "fulness of the everlasting Gospel?" or is it another Gospel and so: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Gal 1:8). What about Christ?
Answer those questions and then all the peripheral questions about Joseph Smith, whether or not he was a false prophet according to the rule set by Deut. 18:20 (a long list of failed prophecies exist); and all these other things will be answered.

Scientology is a newer religion than Mormonism...

Don't make fun of them,
they have a right to have
their moronic beliefs respected.
  At LEAST we have the ORIGINAL writings of L. Ron Hubbard to look at!!

I TOLD you not to communicate with him.
Give it up!
I always find it interesting that those who do not want their practices and policies examined tend to trot out those few verses; hoping to stifle any more questions.
John 12:47, 48 "If anyone hears My words and doesn't keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects Me and doesn't accept My sayings has this as his judge: the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day."
The verses quoted from Matthew 7, so often used (and misused) by those who don't like what they are hearing, doesn't prohibit judgment, it just warns that 1) You better not be guilty of the same thing and 2) You better make sure you are up to the standard. If you are OK in both of those areas, you are free to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
But as Christ says, HIS WORD is the final judge. We are not the judge or jury, the Word that the Father gave Him to speak is that which judges. We are the one in the court who reads the verdict, Unfortunately, those who are "guilty" often times want to shoot the messenger and pretend that we are on the bench. We are not...we just read the note from the foreperson of the jury.
Yeah, I know that you, Elsie, know the law was nailed to the cross.
But Mormon Dude . . . . ? He’s workin’ awful hard. ;)
While Adam and Eve had alive human spirits, they chose to rebel and be their own ‘life’. They passed that fallen nature which is at enmity with God’s righteousness along to all their descendants. The Cross was God’s way of restoring the life of God and therefore the Character of God back into the soul of men and women through the blood-washed spirit of man. The Cross sits at the center of time, endowing back through to Adam and Eve and forward to us and our descendats. What Adam rejected for the LIFE to direct him from his human spirit, Jesus makes available once again to ‘all who will’ allow him to be the deliverer from the fallen nature. By FAITH His Life is emparted to our human spirit, only by faith else man could boast of righteousness on his own as Adam and Eve tried to do. Mormons aren’t the only ones who don’t get it ... yet.
Amen. Sometimes, in bad moments, I have to remind myself of God’s Grace. Thanks be to Him!!!! None of us have even a little wiggle room to boast. His grace is sufficient.
Three people recorded his Adam God speech. Two of the original accounts agree and one doesn't. Guess which one gets quoted by detractors? Historical documents from the time period are not verbatim youtube transcripts we have from today. Some of Brigham's speeches were recorded in shorthand and not fully written out and published until decades later.
Paul refers in the NT to Christ as the "Last Adam". It is a title as well as a personal name. 1 of the 3 recorders of the ADam God quote seemed unfamiliar with with the Biblical use and sense of the name Adam. The other two accounts are in line with Paul's intepretation.
Donna? Maybe Donner was sick and got his sister to fill in?
It is true that there is a lot of Mormon-bashing going around and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Romulan or his candidacy but, aside from the tenents and canons of the church, I would like to have questions about LDS answered: Why was Mark Hofman (the notorious forger) so sought out by LDS leadership; why was his work so threatening to the church, so much so that it tried to buy every piece of material by Hofman available so it could be hidden away?
