What’s a guy to do when Jesus Christ tells you all the churches are wrong? What would you have done?
_______________________________________

Even though Joey Smith claimed that 10 years before the mormon jesus had told him all Christians chuirches were an abominate...

The missionaries are now saying that Joey was told they were all GOOD but to start his own...

Did Joey lie ???

Did the mormon jesus change his mind again, again ???

Mormonisn = “restoration” and revision until they get it right...

For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many Matthew 24:5

Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. Mark 13:6

He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. Luke 21:8

BTW the devil that appeared to Saul claimed to be the prophet, Samuel...

The devil that appeared to Joey Smith claimed to be the mormon jesus and brought his dad along to vouch for him

LOL

Actually, I was referring to the appearance of Jesus to Saul in Acts 9. :-)

Obviously, you require more help than I, a poor but honest layman can provide.

***I find it hard to believe you believe that Jesus is a fraud. If Jesus appeared to you, you would really call Him a fraud and reject Him?***

Must I set down and explain it to you like you were a little child?

When you are well grounded in the BIBLE and someone suddenly claims to be a prophet or Jesus you wIll be able to detect the fraud because they DO NOT MEET THE BIBLE QUALIFICATIONS! Joe’s “Jesus” does not meet these qualifications. The other frauds at that time did not meet the qualifications and were sent packing.

Charlie Manson did not meet the qualifications! Neither did the other frauds who have popped up in just the last 50 years. Same for so-called prophets!

Obviously, since only anecdotal quips and “I believe what I believe facts are irrelevant” are your best answer to doctrinal and dogmatic questions of fact.

***You need both history lessons and lessons in honesty.***

Did you go to the BoA website and see the photos of the actual scrolls and read the translation from REAL EGYPTOLOGISTS or not!

And I was refering to the devil that King Saul wanted to see 1 Samuel 28...

However the REAL Samuel appeared in that case...

The Saul of the New Testament never went looking for a sign or a spirit...

The Jesus of the Bible spoke to him...

Stopped him in his tracks...

When Jesus wants to talk to us, He doesnt have to wait for an invitation...

As for Joey...

Joey Smith just made up that story, saying it had happened years before...

He got milage out of it but either he embellished it each time he told it...

Or he forgot some of the vital points and had to tell it on the fly...

Ya notice that Paul only needed to be told once and he changed his ways...

According to Joey, he went right on sinnig...in fact went straight back to his sheep stealing ways AFTER supposedly Jesus had spoken to him...

And AFTER he is suppose to have sought the Lord...

Meeting Jesus is a life changing expertience...

But not for our boy, Joe...

He went right on with his conman, theiving ways for the rest of his life, mofre than 20 years after that first so called “vision” thaty he claims he had...

His line may have impress the girls but Jesus was never impressed by the charlatan Joey Smith...

God destroyed Joey Smith in the end...

Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.

It was written by Greg West, LDS apologist extraordinaire...

So it is not “Catholic”, though it sure is propaganda...

***You would be more prone to buy it from me.***

But I haven’t bought into the Mormon dreams and schemes! Or the Erick von Danigan nonsense, or the T. Lobsang Rampa visions, or the Si Baba sillyness or the scientology scams.

Facts mean very little to those on the path to “godhood”.

The allure of such is a powerful and addictive spiritual drug.

Sometimes you do an excellent impersonation of a troll.
