Your witness bears no weight.

Your #136: Your witness bears no weight.

So you claim -- for the moment. But I would be more circumspect. The day will come when everything the Lord has done in every age of the world will be made known to you, and you will be reminded of all the people the Lord has sent to you to bear witness of these things, and what your response to them was.

The prophet Moroni wrote this, about 420 AD, as he was preparing to entrust the Book of Mormon plates to the Lord's care and keeping, to come forth to the world centuries later:

Book of Mormon, Moroni 10:27-30
27 And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust?
28 I declare these things unto the fulfilling of the prophecies. And behold, they shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the everlasting God; and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation.
29 And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true.
30 And again I would exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.
The prophet Moroni bears witness, the Holy Spirit bears witness, and I bear witness.

Take heed lest the stone you reject now becomes the head of the corner. As with the Lord Himself (Matthew 21:42), so with His Word, sent forth anciently, and sent forth in our day.

Pray for the gift of discernment, that you may know what is the Word of God and what are the doctrines of men, and be polite and respectful to all, so you will not be haunted at the last day by memories of treating people poorly.

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
