The Word of God does the judging. Mormons fail the Biblical test as do Romanists.

"The Word of God does the judging."

I'm really interested in which version of the Word of God you have settled on and how and why. Did the Word of God come directly to you from God or are you relying on the work of fallible mortals who preceded you, including many "Romanists"? Have you read any of the original works of the old or new testaments in their original languages with full knowledge of the regional idiomatic contexts? Have you read the Septuagint scriptures, the Samaratin canon, the gnostic gospels, or the other contemporary writings? Have you read the letters of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria? How about the African Synod of Hippo, written in 393, or the edicts of the Councils of Carthage in 397 and 419. Then there is that darn Romanist, Pope Damasus I's Council of Rome in 382, (the Decretum Gelasianum is correctly associated with it). Likewise, Damasus's commissioning of the Latin Vulgate? In 405, Pope Innocent I sent a list of the sacred books to a Gallic bishop, Exsuperius of Toulouse that was asserted to be the edited and final "Word of God" that stood until the full dogmatic articulation of the canon by the Council of Trent of 1546 for Roman Catholicism. Or did you put your faith in the Thirty-Nine Articles of 1563 for the Church of England, the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1647 for Calvinism, and the Synod of Jerusalem of 1672 for the Greek Orthodox?

“Mormons fail the Biblical test as do Romanists.”

In what way?

Because of the gods thing? Or the Jesus and the Devil?

What a set of ugly, vicious alleged Christians infest these threads. The minority, thank goodness, but exceptionally vocal. This was a Methodists/Israel thread which was once again twisted into an anti-Mormon bigotry thread. You’ve managed to throw Romanists (Catholics) into your pile of bigotry also. And it’s funny, because Catholicism was the original Christian religion from which you Protestants chose to break off from. I’ll tell you what, God indeed is going to do the judging, and God is never going to allow you past the pearly gates.
