I Said: You have gotten this one wrong too, no one cares if I think X is an abomination, and no one cares if Joseph smith thinks Y is an abomination.

U Said: Then how do YOU explain all these threads that point out the facts about Mormonism?

At one point there were lots of Discussions about the facts of the earth being flat and they even killed people who were to stringent about the earth being round. so much for majority making "right"


I Said: What God thinks is an abomination, on the other hand, now that's important. U Said: Huh? ... YOUR own Founder and subsequent Leaders sure did NOT care!

Let's see, I'll counter your unsupported, unfounded assertion with yeah, that's why he was called as a prophet, because he wouldn't listen... That's why he even at that point where he was prophesying his own death would not turn from god's commands to him, that's why he was martyred for his faith, because he would not listen to God, yeah, that's the ticket...


I Said: (will somebody get this guy cable?)

I Said: Yeah; I'll just BET you'd like me GONE from the scene; wasting away in front of an idiot box; but I'm here 'til the Lord calls me home.

Just trying to save you eternal embarrassment... Have it your way.

 1 Timothy 3:2-3
 2.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
 3.  not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
 
 
1 Timothy 3:12
   A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.
 
 
 Titus 1:6
   An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI
CHAPTER 2
 
  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.
