Worth repeating!

***It is a common myth that anti-Mormon attacks have completely overwhelmed the intellectual position of Latter-day Saints, leaving us with nothing but blind faith in “warm feelings” we get about the Church.***

“Anti-Mormons” are not the ones that started this fight way back in the 1820’s when some dude from the backwoods of New York claimed to have found golden plates and then started attacking all other churches.

****

If you read carefully it was not some dude from upstate NY who made those comments, it was the Lord himself who was once again preparing to restoring his Church on earth and needed to get a few things straight before proceeding.

Isa. 29: 13.
13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

I know the world consensus is up set with this but who are in Charge here some Men in 325 AD our Jesus Christ himself!

Now I know many for what ever reason feel differently but there are about 13 millions of us who did receive a witness from the Lord!

BTW dmw, tell me how other Churches were attacked?

Did the LDS take over other churches pulpit, ride around in white sheets, did they tar and feather other church members, did they call them heretics, incite a community to hate them, shoot at them, burn down their houses, rape and kill their children and than run them off of their land, exterminate them?

did they call them heretics, incite a community to hate them, shoot at them, burn down their houses....run them off of their land

See King James Strang.

The KKK in UTAH...

 

 

 

 

<snip>

Klankraft in Utah faced a bleak future, partly because the kinds of issues that fed Klan activity elsewhere--law and order, public and private morality, cultural modernity, and racial and ethnic assimilation--were real but not pressing concerns in the state; religiously, demographically, and culturally, Utah society was remarkably close to the Old America the Klan idealized. Yet the primary obstacle to the growth of the Klan was the strident opposition of the dominant Mormon Church, which effectively functioned as an instrument of social regulation for most of the population. By the late 1920s the Utah KKK was a dysfunctional organization represented by a handful of individuals who maintained membership in the national organization.

That ridiculous lie about 325 AD is a good start. Oh, wait, that’s not an “attack” because you believe it’s true, right?
