aMorePerfectUnion,
I’m sorry .... were you trying to say something coherent that didn’t start with ... “Dude...” and end with vile insults?
I really don’t have any respect for anyone who trashes other peoples belief in Christ ....
...and have completely ZERO ability to provide scriptural back up for their own beliefs.
I believe that Christ called people like you ‘Hypocrite’ ... and didn’t want us to cast our pearls before swine.
If Joseph Smith once blew his nose, or said that he had a stomach ache or was wrong about the weather, or jokingly or not spoke off the cuff, not to mention the 10-thousands of people who would misquote him, you would claim that it was solid ‘proof’ of some whacky logic you parade as intelligent.
I have no Idea what your talking about .... but since the Spirit of God and truth is not in you .... you’ve got nothing .... your a completely empty font.
Talking about religious belief to you .... is like trying to teach Calculus to Beavis and Butthead.
You love to condemn believing Christians more righteous and just than you to hell at the drop of a hat .... I really feel sorry for you, I don’t think Christ likes your style.
Matt. 7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Here ya go!

I guess the Spirit of APOSTACY is all over you!
But you merely echo what your leaders have said:
Questions put to Joseph Smith:"'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119)."for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12).Found here ---> LINK"What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).
Brigham Young stated this repeatedly:"When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses Section 5 page 73);"The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses Section 8 page 171);"With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses Section 8 page 199);"Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses Section 10 page 230)."And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses Section 6 page 24);President John Taylor stated:"Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , Section 6 page 167);"Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , Section 10 page 127).President Joseph Fielding Smith said:"Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266)."For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).President George Q. Cannon said:"After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324). <-- can't find an onlink link, but there ARE a lot of hard copy books for sale tha tinclude this quote.President Wilford Woodruff stated:"the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , Section 2, page 196).
But what about us folks who ACCURATELY quote him??
“ I really don’t have any respect for anyone who trashes other peoples belief
Nor I for those who pervert truth and lead people from Christ - not the fake Mormon one, but the Biblical Christ, Who was neither created nor made.
I Corinthians 11:12-15
“And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
“It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
Apostle Paul
Typed a fella that typed up a whole lot of judgmental statements!
You love to condemn believing Christians more righteous and just than you to hell at the drop of a hat .... I really feel sorry for you, I don’t think Christ likes your style.
IZZAT so??
Matthew 23:13-15, 27, 33
13. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
