This is what you guys are running up against and this is the last word:
Revelation 22:
22Then the angel* showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life* with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants* will worship him; 4they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said to me, These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants* what must soon take place.
7 See, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me; 9but he said to me, You must not do that! I am a fellow-servant* with you and your comrades* the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!
10 And he said to me, Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.
12 See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyones work. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes,* so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. 15Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practises falsehood.
16 It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.
17The Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let everyone who hears say, Come.
And let everyone who is thirsty come.
Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; 19if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that persons share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 The one who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming soon.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.*
Your Book OF Mormon is a bunch of lies from hell and true Christians do not heed admonition from heretics and false prophets like Joseph Smith and yourself.
DarthVader, this post makes it clear you are a neophyte in anti-Mormon polemics. Better bone up on the origins of the Bible.
Have fun tearing this vapidness to pieces, DU!
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;Laodicea was destroyed by a mighty earthquake in 60 B.C. Rome offered to rebuild it, but the Laodiceans wanted to do it themselves It was hit again in 65 AD it was never rebuilt. Thus, The Book of Revelations was written when Laodicea existed, it was before 65 AD. The Gospel of John is dated later (accounts vary from 81-100+ AD) Thus if you are serious, half of the books of the new testament are now to be excluded. The book of Deuteronomy includes a similar passage, is the rest of the Bible to be discarded?
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.Since this is by John who's words you just used to damn me to hell, I hope you will listen to him and obey his command to try the spirits. He even tells you how to know if an answer to your prayer is of God, or of the Devil. You needn't be afraid to follow his advice, the Bible won't steer you wrong.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
