Here is the essence of the big lie that Mormons have believed and upon which their false religion is based:

"If the church established by Christ was even more altered and even warped then, and its true form and doctrine was lost, don't you think it necessary that it later be restored?" Because Mormons do not comprehend the Church, they will swallow the lie that "... the church established by Christ was even more altered and even warped then, and its true form and doctrine was lost ..." and will follow after false gods of a demon inspired man's devising, Joseph Smith.

When Jesus promised to 'send another' to them, He was promising the Holy Spirit, HIS Holy Spirit would come unto them, and that not just the Apostles, but any who will believe they need salvation in Christ as He purchased for them on the cross and rose again to verify THAT COVENANT of His indwelling presence established by HIS PERFECT BLOOD.

Mormons adhere to a lie that THE Holy Spirit was lost to humankind after the last Apostle who saw Jesus in person died. They have chosen to believe this lie (they have exercised their free will to believe this lie) and in so doing have closed the door to their spirit so the very Holy Spirit they have been lied to about can not indwell them. They insist upon our being deceived by looking upon their good works. when one offers the good works of Buddhists and Ba'hais, Mormons pooh pooh this.

The entire of Mormonism rests upon the lie that God's Holy Spirit was no longer indwelling humankind once the last Apostle died, and God needed a Joseph Smith to restore the Holy Spirit to the human spirit. Islam began under similar libelous assertions by another demon inspired 'man of the flesh', albeit that demon inspired false religion sees suicide murder as 'good works'. If the flase teaching of Mormonism causes men's souls to perish eternally, is it not just as deadly, spiritually, as Islam?

Please clarify this more what you are trying to accuse the LDS of?

Thank you for at long last saying how you preceive what the LDS believe

What a particular tale from MHGinTN.

The Holy Ghost was always upon earth just not as in the form of a Constance companion.

BIBLE DICTIONARY


Holy Ghost

The third member of the Godhead and, as the name implies, a personage of Spirit, not possessing a body of flesh and bones (D&C 130: 21-22). The Holy Ghost is manifested in every dispensation of the gospel since the beginning, being first made known to Adam (1 Ne. 10: 17-22; Moses 6: 51-68). The Holy Ghost is manifested to men on the earth both as the power of the Holy Ghost and as the gift of the Holy Ghost. The power can come upon one before baptism, and is the convincing witness that the gospel is true. It gives one a testimony of Jesus Christ and of his work and the work of his servants upon the earth. The gift can come only after proper and authorized baptism, and is conferred by the laying on of hands, as in Acts 8: 12-25 and Moroni 2: 1-3. The gift of the Holy Ghost is the right to have, whenever one is worthy, the companionship of the Holy Ghost. More powerful than that which is available before baptism, it acts as a cleansing agent to purify a person and sanctify him from all sin. Thus it is often spoken of as “fire” (Matt. 3: 11; 2 Ne. 31: 17; D&C 19: 31). The manifestation on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) was the gift of the Holy Ghost that came upon the Twelve, without which they were not ready for their ministries to the world.
For some reason not fully explained in the scriptures, the Holy Ghost did not operate in the fulness among the Jews during the years of Jesus’ mortal sojourn (John 7: 39; John 16: 7). Statements to the effect that the Holy Ghost did not come until after Jesus was resurrected must of necessity refer to that particular dispensation only, for it is abundantly clear that the Holy Ghost was operative in earlier dispensations. Furthermore, it has reference only to the gift of the Holy Ghost not being present, since the power of the Holy Ghost was operative during the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus; otherwise no one would have received a testimony of the truths that these men taught (cf. Matt. 16: 16-17; 1 Cor. 12: 3). When a person speaks by the power of the Holy Ghost that same power carries a conviction of the truth into the heart of the hearer (2 Ne. 33: 1). The Holy Ghost knows all things (D&C 35: 19) and can lead one to know of future events (2 Pet. 1: 21).
Other names that sometimes refer to the Holy Ghost are Holy Spirit, Spirit of god, Spirit of the Lord, Comforter, and Spirit.

"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." -- 2 Thessalonians 2:10-14

Please explain your interpretation of this scripture.

BTW, calling us liars violates the no personal attacks rule you agree to every time you post.

Please cease to impute base motives to us.

Thank you.
