So apparently anyone can be rebaptized and be given these special privileges unless you believe in the Trinity.

In a few years he will start looking like George C-Looney!

It appears you can. I have read that John D. Lee was restored to being a good Mormon.

[Simply put, a Christian is defined as one who believes in Jesus Christ.]

No, it is someone who believes Jesus Christ is God. Some of you believe FastCoyote exists, but few among you believe I am the one and only God and define yourselves as FastCoyoteists. It is subterfuge to believe that Mormons are Christians in the same sense.

Reminiscent of the Pharisees of old, the contentious individuals and institutions who deny the Christianity of others often utilize their personal interpretation of scripture and synthetic dogma to support their assertions.

Yet another reason for this theory is that when Elijah comes back, it is believed that he must die so that he can be judged by God (Hebrews 9:27).

It is argued that since Elijah never died, he will have to return to the natural realm and suffer death to fulfill Hebrews 9:27 which says, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

 

Some of the WEAKEST 'doctrine' I've EVER witnessed!!

 

 

"Once to die" means no REINCARNATION!!       NO returning again 'til ya get it right!

I guess THIS wasn't 'translated' correctly:

 

 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
 14.  We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
 15.  According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
 16.  For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 
 17.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
 18.  Therefore encourage each other with these words.

the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible, so I cannot
show it to you. The truth of Christ’s return to claim His Church is, however, there. If you read the Bible, you will
see it.

I cannot find any of the “restored” doctrines of the mormon
church there however, even after searching! - like...

Polytheism
Eternal Celestial Pregnant Goddess Wives
Christian Temples
Temple Rites
God who used to be Adam
Becoming an actual god yourself
Getting your own planet
Kolob
etc.

Would you please copy this list and list Bible verses
that support these ideas?

Thank you.

[BlueMoose]

Was this Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, United Church members Christians ?

[BlueMoose]

or Roman Catholic or Orthodox Church

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Oh, I forgot a very important, sacred teaching that I
cannot find in the Bible anywhere...

Holy, Fluffy Underwear with Occult symbols.

I’d appreciate a Bible verse for that too!
You should be able to knock that right out,
I hope... can you?

[restornu]

LOL

Oh dear, the Trinity Christians do not realzied that Elijah is eternal he has a resurrected body of flesh and bone.

Elijah is a joint heir...

[restornu]

You saw my restore in the Bible but I did not see your rapture bud so where is it?

[svcw]

See post #78.

Actually, no, I did not see your restore, nor a single Bible
verse to support Polytheism or holy, fluffy underwear with
magic occult symbols.

However, I do want you to be informed!

The word in the Latin Vulgate translated “caught up” is
the Latin word “rapturo” from which the term “Rapture”
comes. It is simply a translation of the Greek word that
does appear. As such, it is, indeed, in the Latin Vulgate
translation of the Bible.

:-)

The verse where this greek word appears is I Thessalonians
4:17. Please note that the Apostle Paul, writing under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, specifically says this
is came to him by the “word of the Lord”.

OK, now the fun part, let’s talk about what ISN’T in the Bible: The doctrines of Mormonism!

Could you get those specific ones I listed and share with
everyone the specific Bible verses that show those are
Christian doctrines that should be restored?

Thanks!

****the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible,***

Actually it does, in three places, in the LATIN VULGATE.

The root word for “rapture” is in those places where the KJV translates it “caught up”.

1 Thes. 4:16 (rapiemur)

2 Chor 12: 16 (raptum)

Rev 12:5 (raptus)

[Colofornian]

And like the Pharisees of today, the contentious individuals and institutions who deny the use of the word MORMON others often utilize their personal interpretation of scripture and synthetic dogma to support their assertions.

Exactly. If "Christian" is open to any and every interpretation and definition, then on what grounds do LDS get off trying to rein in usage by the fLDS.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

as an addition for the education of the Restornu... “caught up” is the Greek harpazō, meaning “to grasp hastily, snatch up, to lift, transport, or rapture.” OK resty, can you also show me the word Moroni or Mormon in the Bible? Don't forget the list for the holy fluffy underwear with the occultic markings. I'd like a Bible verse for that too!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Ratus! Beat me to it!
