Nope I am no being LDS I am thankful to know the true Church of Jesus Christ.
...and I can discern a “natural man” when I read one mocking my faith!
1 Corinthians 2
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But your 'faith' is in a CON man, who STARTED the HERESY of MORMONism.
“...and I can discern a “natural man” when I read one mocking my faith!”
Resty, dear Resty. After all these years, you haven’t been able to discern that Joseph Smith was
documented to be a horndog, adulterer, charlatan, fraud and shyster. If that isn’t a “natural man”
and you can’t discern him as such, I think your “discerner” needs to be re-calibrated.
Mormonism stole its Temple rituals from the Masons - not by divine revelation. Sounds “natural” to me.
Mormonism claims to have “restored” crucial things the early Church lost like:
... magic underwear!
... multiple levels of heaven!
... God running a travel agency that sent Jesus Christ to America!
... Early civilizations from “coast to coast in America” with not a single metal object, foundation or cemetary!
... Millions of gods!
... The complete “Do-it-yourself God Kit” for all males!
... Celestial Sex!
... A Mother God!
... Eternal Pregnancy!
In other words, all “natural” desires of fallen men in a religion that promises to give them what
their lusts want - just like the Muslim 72 virgins.
And yet, Resty, after all these years, you apparently cannot “discern” that.
Other than going straight to the Bible and getting your discerner fixed, I’m not sure of any other path open to you. Of course, that is the path God has created for ALL of us and I hope you find it.
best,
