Changes to Gospel Principles (Revamping of Mormon Principles Manual) (OPEN)

Disclaimer: I am former LDS and "anti" mormonism. I post articles from official mormon sources that often relate to current discussions taking place on the forum to provide a means for open discussion in the Religion forum.

 

FROM THE RELIGION FORUM MODERATOR:

Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected

Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.

On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”

When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”

Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.

Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

 Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

You do KNOW; you vile apostate!, that only the BoM is "the most correct book on Earth", and that ALL of our other writings can be revised at ANY time the Father tells the Living Prophet® and the 12 agree that it is so!

Our heavenly parents provided us with a celestial home more glorious and beautiful than any place on earth. We were happy there. Yet they Heavenly Father . . .

What? Did the heavenly parents have a break-up?

[greyfoxx39]

It has been noted by others that "Heavenly Mother" has been excommunicated and her name will no longer be mentioned...changes in hymnbooks to follow.

O My Father

Lyrics
O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?

For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, "You're a stranger here,"
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.

I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav'ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I've a mother there.

When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I've completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.

If God was a perfected being, having been tested and reaching the celestial glory, why then did He have to “call a grand council and present His plan.”?

Wouldn’t they already know how to attain the celestial plane and glory from those before them? In essence, wouldn’t they already have the “blueprint” so to speak? Wouldn’t they have had to do the same things they are calling on the mormons to do now? It should have been known beforehand and passed down to each “god”.

This is some maze one has to comprehend.

More editing to make the claims of j.smith and the following “prophets” of the lds seem less like a polygamous polytheist religion and more like Christianity..

Just more milk before meat.

Sad really, I do hope that some of the follower of j.smith will notice the changes to “unchanging and eternal” convents and leave the lds.

Ah, yes the book of mormon AKA A testament of another jesus and the books of addendums...

[Godzilla]

It has been noted by others that "Heavenly Mother" has been excommunicated

then there is a serious problem in regards to mormon theology on this point.

5. We must be married for time and eternity, either in this life or in the next...

Doesn't that apply to heavenly father???

[Bidimus1]

5. We must be married for time and eternity, either in this life or in the next...

This is aa sop for all those mormons (young women in particular) that have not gotten married by 22 and feel that the “church” may not for them. Now they can wait till after death and get “sealed” to the mormon they could not find in life.

So every girl can dream of marring a GA or even “prophet” post mortem, thus getting into ck with out having to deal with a patriarchal man here.

They Must be losing young girls at a staggering rate to “change” this. We of course know that the “deep truths” will not change.

[Campion]

It is composed of eternal, unchanging principles, laws, and ordinances which are universally applicable to every individual regardless of time, place, or circumstance. Gospel principles never change.

BoM Jacob 2:27 condemns polygamy as a "whoredom". Brigham Young said it was a requirement to achieve exaltation. The modern-day LDS church says it's an excommunicable offense.

I wonder which one is the "eternal, unchanging Gospel principle"?

IOW, “oops, we (the LDS) got caught with our weird doctrines and now have to change things to appear more ‘Christian’ even though we know we have the only true church - the one Adam and Eve, Abraham, and Jesus belonged to.”

Hi Reganaut! Just when we get the first document down, they have to go and move the goal posts again.
