and they NEVER had such a power

Of course we can't forget this one...

Matthew 10:1
AND when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Wow, I guess God does give His power to man.

[Oh, of course, that's why we've seen LDS apostles in our generation from McConkie to Packer & company working “signs & wonders” left & right: Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. (2 Cor. 12:12)]

But, of course, Stourme, you're a principle guy – not an event guy (you're post to Reaganaut in #147). So, can we expect you to also tell us that LDS apostles' “ability” to perform signs & wonders is also just a “principle” -- but that we shouldn't expect actual “events” to arise from such principles?

You wanted a list of blood-atonements events earlier in the thread. I'd like a list of LDS apostles “signs & wonders” events. (Oh, you don't have them?)

What's funny is you stressed to Godzilla in post #237 that following His commandments are vital to being saved. So, have ALL LDS followed the commandment in 2 Cor. 12:12 to display the true sign of an apostle? Have they wrought signs & wonders? (A list please)

Youy are being deceitful, and you know it. I referred to the Disciples having power to give the Holy Spirit power to others, just like you claim your president and priests can pass Holy Spirit power to other ‘deserving’ Mormons. You are trying to twist the perspectived knowing full well you are being deceitful. Only God bestows His Spirit in power. You cultists cannot and will never be able to pass power from God to others because only He conveys His Spirit. But you mormonism apologists just keep trying to deceive people into believing God has given you something that Simon thought he could purchase and be conveyed to him by the Apostles. Man does not force God or convey His SPirit. If that were possible, then deceptions like Mormonism would be more powerful than God’s Grace. Nice try, deceiver.
