What Was the 1838 “Mormon War”?
http://www.jefflindsay.com/LDSFAQ/FQ_Missouri.shtml

Didn’t Brigham Young teach “blood atonement,” the idea that sinners should be killed to help them gain forgiveness? And did Mormons kill sinners to “save” them?

It really makes me wonder what did these people ever do when they were in the Church, they surely did not study on their own like the Lord Commanded, seems like they listen to ever Tom, Dick and Harry when they were not doing so well to justify!

Why would I say that becaues if one is sincere the answers were there for those who did search the scriptures and ponder and also as far the the Chruch History see how those who are maligning the Church pars their words.

I did all my investigattion and study way before there ever was a computer or these handy sites to gather what really happen.

I was really bless for it because it sharpen my discerment and listening to the Holy Ghost who enlighten my mind and guided me what and where to seek out what to things I need answers too.

Actually Resty, I DID study when I was in the LDS Church, that is how I found out it was a fraud. And this was before the internet.

I research for a living, remember?

Unfortunately, there are many LDS who will accept whatever the “party line” is at any given time. For example, “the JOD are not scripture.” Well, they were considered scripture when they were sent to England, they were considered scripture by those who gave the discourses, and they were considered scripture by the LDS for a very long time. But now that they expose the heresy of the Mormon Church, they are no longer “scripture”. The LDS make excuses for their history often, it would give them much more credibility to just admit the problems of their past.

How can you trust anything your prophet says if you do not know when he is speaking as a prophet or as a man?

You claim ‘discernment of the Holy Spirit’, so did the Medieval Mystics, many of whom were either canonized (Catherine of Genoa) or burned for heresy (Marjorie Porte). I believe in the Holy Spirit and I believe that he helps me discern truth from error.

However, just because a person THINKS it is the Holy Spirit, does not mean it is. The views MUST agree with the BIBLE, and LDS doctrine CONSISTENTLY fails that test.
