Resty,
I still like you, but we will have to disagree.
Why, you might ask? Here are some comments below.

“It is the Tradition of men that is doing the denying!”

Since you are the mainstream LDS, it is you who are the mainstream! The “traditions of men” are in full force in
mormonism, since most of it cannot be found in the Bible.

“A gospel dispensation is a period of time in which the Lord has at least one authorized servant on the earth who bears the keys of the holy priesthood.”

Umm, could you point to one verse that says what you just
wrote? In the Bible, I mean. Because it isn’t there. In other
words, it is the Traditions of LDS Men that say it, not God.

“Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, and others have each started a new gospel dispensation.”

Demonstrably false. The Gospel came through Jesus Christ alone.

“When the Lord organizes a dispensation, the gospel is revealed anew so that the people of that dispensation do not have to depend on past dispensations for knowledge of the plan of salvation.”

Can you show me that in the Bible? A verse or more that actually
says that? It isn’t there, resty, which means you are following
the Traditions of Men.

“The dispensation begun by Joseph Smith is known as the “dispensation of the fulness of times.”

This is simply an assumption, resty - an assumption that God
had anything to do with Joseph Smith. I know He chose ordinary
people to be prophets, but the ones He chose were not dishonest,
vile people like Mr. Smith.

“when the Lord Jesus Christ to annoits His prophet and restores the priesthood as mention of the restitution of all things in Acts 3, just keep listening to your Tradition of Men! AMPU”

Can you point me to one verse in the Bible that says what you
just wrote? One. Unfortunately, this is simply an LDS Tradition
that is without Biblical support. Jesus Christ is not coming
to “anoint his prophet” or to “restore the priesthood”.

“The Church of Jesus Chrsit of Latter Day Saints is once again on earth. Ye are the children of the prophets!”

Since it was never on earth to begin with, you are wrong here
too.

Still, I like you as always.

All the best,
ampu
