I'm not Mormon, I haven't studied the Mormon faith nor have I gone to the "Watchmen" website (to my knowledge).

If the Mormon's profess some of the things I have written about, then I agree with them on those subjects. When I first began to "search" I ordered the Mormon Bible. I put it down after a short time - I do not agree with some of the things I read. Do you disagree with everything their faith believes in?

Now that you know I'm not a Mormon would you let me know why you take issue with the things I stated. Why do you feel they are in error?

Pretty much.

Now that you know I'm not a Mormon would you let me know why you take issue with the things I stated. Why do you feel they are in error?

I alread did. You initial premise regarding the singular heaven in Gen 1:1 and the plural heaven in Gen 2:1 is obviously in error since the word in Hebrew is the exact same word for both verses. Since your entire doctrine is based upon a false premise, what follows logically is going to be false.

Beyond that your idea that people earned their elect status is anathema to the gospel of Christ. No man has earned the grace of God either in this world or any other. It is a gift and not a reward. If you think you are elect because of something you did in a prior lifetime, then you are your own savior and Christ's sacrifice on the cross was for naught.

This strange doctrine is a road to damnable heresy. Go down it if you wish, but remember you are going DOWN that road and the road to heaven is UP.

The Mormons believe in a pre-existent life and that being born a Mormon is a reward for being valiant in the prior lifetime and supporting Jesus over his evil twin brother Satan. Those who sat by the wayside are born into other faiths and those who failed in their test were born black. It is a damnable doctrine and yours is likewise.

Your doctrine leads to the same end as the Mormon doctrine. Works based salvation, earned grace, God being a respecter of persons. All damnable heresies.

You really need to rethink you position on these strange doctrines.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. (Hebrews 13:9 KJV)
