We say you worship a different Jesus than we do.

We worship Jesus Christ, the one in the Bible, Son of Mary, born of a virgin birth, only begotten of the father after the manner of the flesh, He Healed the sick, cleansed lepers, the blind saw through his blessing, he raised the dead, He suffered in gethsemanie, was crucified, and resurrected on the third day, he is the savior of mankind, only name under heaven wherein salvation cometh, do you worship someone else?

The Bereans were more noble than the Thessalonicans because they SEARCHED the Scriptures to see if what they were told was true.

You guys search for a FEELING to see if what you've been told is true.


This is not true, Joseph smith in D&C 9:5-9
5 And, behold, it is because that you did not continue as you commenced, when you began to translate, that I have taken away this privilege from you.
6 Do not murmur, my son, for it is wisdom in me that I have dealt with you after this manner.
7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.
We are commanded to Study before we ask, not just ask unthinking as you are saying here.

This quotation is also one of the reasons why Momrons are not shocked when told that Joseph is not perfect, we knew that already, like Moses, Jonah, and many other old testament prophets, he had his flaws, and they are recorded in our scriptures, just like the prophets of old.
