OK Jesus was talking about ALL people, not just single folks, when He said in Mt. 22:30 Mark 12:25 reads the same): At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
It would make absolutely NO sense for Jesus to say the following (let's say to single folks): "At the resurrection single people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven, some of whom are married like Michael and Gabriel over there."
Or are you saying that Jesus was talking to polygamy-lusting people when he said? "At the resurrection married people will neither marry (again) or be given in marriage (like those 11 married women given over to Joseph Smith in his earthly lifetime); they will be like the (monogamous) angels in heaven."
I am addressing nothing with you until you can give an honest answer to a civil question. Still waiting.
Which part is fraud?
It had references for every thing it said.
Are the references wrong??
Did your past leaders NOT say those things?
I'm confused.
Good Point!
(Good screen name as well!!)
someone is confused!!
THIS is their FORMAL CREED!
The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor, in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed. They were subsequently published in Church periodicals. They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541
1 We believe in god, the Eternal Father, and in His son, Jesus Christ, and in the holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3 We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repentance; third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
Joseph Smith
Simple; merely track down the TRUTH and post it.
I do not believe in Mormonism, but I suspect that this account is not a faithful representation of their beliefs.
Are you STILL out on the playground??
Come inside with the rest of us kids or you'll stunt your education.
How many made the trek to Utah?
And he REALLY didn’t like Presbyterians!!!
We "antis" have been consistently called worse on these threads.
The only thing I can think of is the possiblity that FPROY2222 is an Afican-American and thinks that I (we) are insulting him.
I should get so lucky!
Are trying to tell on me? And I wasn’t even talking to you or about you. What a wonderful thing that is.
Suspect no longer - look up the references!
