Just because they all agree, doesn’t mean they’re right.

ok..it just means Mormonism is wrong.

I watch his TV program regularly and have seen him on more than one occasion plead with viewers to ‘read your Bible’, the founders did, regularly.

 

Too bad the Founder and subsequent Leaders of MORMONism did NOT do that!!

 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.

If you want to know what Mormons believe in Christ as our Savior, I suggest you read up a little more.

Here is MORMONism's own creed:                      (the MILK part)

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

 

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Remember that Mormons are taught to serve potential converts bland milk, and save the meat for after they are reeled in. Just like Muslims and taqiyya, so too Mormons are taught to conceal much of the truth, and to handle a conversion gently because of risk of shocking and losing the convert.

Additionally this approach is used by most every cult and occult system, as well as all counterfeit religions there is...go gently...be nice...hide the dark stuff...etc. just as you say. Most every member is taught to "let them decide for themselves"...initially.,,,cover the lies with sweetness and love.

Glenn Beck and radio pals Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere rattled down the list of potential Republican nominees for President in 2012 this morning, and they had some bad news for the Tea Party movement: Sarah Palin probably won’t run, Ron Paul is still and long shot, and Mitt Romney, as of now, is the GOP’s best bet.

Didn't they say that LAST time?

MR is a LOSER and a poor 'conservagtive' to boot!

[ansel12]

Some around here will cut off their nose to spite their face but lets get real we need someone who can stop the bleeding and will win.

One thing that conservatives can agree on is that Mitt Romney is not to get anywhere close to the Republican nomination.

[Elsie]

How odd that you think that, because every Mormon I know believes that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, that he died for our sins on the cross and that Jesus is our savior.

But LDS Headquarters, in SLC, teaches that the ATONEMENT came in the GARDEN!

[Elsie]

This thread, as usual, has invited the anti Mormons to pile on.

USe Resty's ping listen to call the MORMON troops if you need reinforcements.

Or, you could post the TRUTH of MORMONism to counter these LIES and DISTORTIONS we ANTI's are posting!

Oh!

Wait!!!

It's mostly MORMON sources. Forget it then...

[Elsie]

dingbat!

Oh Resty!

You are SO lovable!

[caww]

Your statement of Jesus being savior...well even satan and his hoards acknowledge this...as the Bible attests to. So saying that is the mask of Christianity Mormonism wears to lure people in...wolf in sheeps clothing says it well...just as the cults do who use Chriatian terminology.....it is only later you learn of Mormonism and the counterfeit imposter christ they have remade into something the true Christ is not...nor never will be.

[ansel12]

I even saw a powerful national leader of the Hare Krishnah’s use that Mormon technique of playing down and even lying about the differences with Christianity when he was trying to win converts among a large group of Americans in one of their temples in San Diego.

In his case, when the question and answer part started after he finished his delivery, a 23 year old Christian so flustered him and dismantled his speech using bible challenges that he had to end the event and ask the audience to leave the temple.

[caww]

We NEED to STOP the BLEEDING!

By your support for Romney you'll see the flood gates open with the BLOOD of the unborn children..he is for abortion. So preaching to stop the Bleeding by supporting Romney is equally as foolish as saying mormons practice Christianity...they do not...they fake it just as Romney fakes he is anti-abortion when it suits his ambitions.

[magritte]

Anti-Mormon SPAM bump....magritte

[caww]

But the truth is Mormons are not truthful about their beliefs...as soon as those beliefs are revealed you all hightail it or hide beneath the pages of Joseph Smiths writings which have been proven time and again as hocus pocus. Those are the facts and Mormons continually deny and deceive themselves in the very face of truth each and every time.

[caww]

There is "no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God"

..........- Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190 That quote alone should deter any who are even remotely considering Mormonism....there is only one Savior and He does not share His throne with another who claims that throne. Smith was just another anti--Christ Jesus warned us would come.

[BlueMoose]

Matt. 20: 22-23
22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my father.
Mark 10: 38-39
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
Acts 19: 3-4
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Do you really think reverse psycology can’t be clearly seen in that post? Mormons are well known for their unhealthy “emotional” state....let alone all the feely good things their faith insists be prominate in their practices....reminds me of N. Koreans who smile for theie dear leader while they are starving to death.

[caww]

9.We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

That creed leaves them wide open for the great deception God will send....they will indeed fall for it and see it as further revelation...their (willing) blindness will prevent them from seeing anything else. They will fall for the "universalism" plot to unite the churches as we see Mormon leadership today working with these groups to expedite this. Mormons are on the wrong road and will most assuredly continue so. But I believe that is why there is so much pressure on those Mormons to come out before this happens....once God brings down the curtain of deception...it will be too late.

[restornu]

Don’t put words in my mouth I never mention anyone because I don’t who will be selected I do know that the local offices is where the work needs to be done!

This is the time to prepare and mentor someone down the road to fill important roles.

All one can do now is try to stop the bleeding!

The government we receive is a blessing from the Lord and if we are not happy then each of us have to do better and in being a better people!

[restornu]

You never know who might want to endure scorch earth in order to run for office!
