WAS A “RESTORATION” OF THE GOSPEL NECESSARY?
mormon.org ^ | 2009 | mormon.org

Posted on 03/19/2010 8:59:34 AM PDT by svcw

“Nothing less than a complete apostasy from the Christian religion would warrant the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”—History of the Church, Volume 1, p. XL

According to LDS Scripture, the Apostle John (D&C 7) and the three Nephites (3 Nephi 28) never died. So, how could Gospel “authority” have left the earth, needing “restoration”?

“…in the latter times some shall depart from the faith…”—1 Timothy 4:1

If only “some” would depart from the faith, how could a “complete apostasy” have occurred? Did Jesus fail to preserve His Church against the gates of hell?

“I will build MY church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” —Matthew 16:18

“...that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once [for all time] delivered unto the saints.” —Jude 3

“...but though we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” —Galatians 1:9

Plus, how many Christians in this time could read and had access to the Bible or other texts?

It is Joe Smith that said he and he alone restored the Gospel~ svcw

Resty: restoration!

I am telling you are wrong it was Jesus Christ who set up His Church and Jesus Christ through his prophets as He has done in every dispensation.
_____________________________________________________

Resty make up your cottin pickin mind...

Yes Jesus built His church upon the rock and it never did go anywhere, was stolen or misplaced...

However Jesus did it all by Himself ...without His prophets...

He didnt have prophets in every dispensation....

He doesnt use prophets any more...

He hasnt since He came ...

He hasnt needed any prophets...

The Church that Jesus built has been here on Earth for the last 2,000 years continuously...

Joey Smith was an occultist charlatan and false prophet and a liar...

Joey Smith never restored anything...

Joey Smith didnt do any good while he was alive...

he didnt even have a decent job his whole life...

Just scamed people and lived off others...

He was a welfare queen...

Joey Smith boasted he was greater than Jesus...

Thjat was the last straw for Joey Smith...

Right up to that moment, Joey Smith could have repented of his evil sins and been saved...

Once Joey Smith tried to replace Jesus Himself...

God had no more patience with the false prop[het Joey Smith...
God destroyed him...

Joey Smith died an ignoble death...

exposed as a charlatan and coward...

killed in a gun fight...

after murdering 2 men...

Joey Smith died screaming for help...

Stop parsing words!

Stop Conflation!
____________________________________

God is in the exposing of evil and deception...

If God wants the lies of the false prophet Joey Smith out in the open,

Who are you to stop it ???

By what authority do you attempt to cover up the evil sins of the occultist adulterer joey Smith ???

I really don't know what you are talking about. I copied the address and pasted it.
I just clicked on the link and it went right to where I intended it to go.
Your link is to something completely different.
If you want people to look at that link please post another thread.

The fact you can not answer even simple questions posed to you and instead obfuscate away does more good in drawing people away from the LDS cult than any anti can do...

The LDS do a wonderful job of showing what blind faith can lead to.

Being LDS taught me not to trust what anyone says the Bible says but rather look it up for myself (which is a good part of the reason I took the language coursework I did and have a degree in Bib. Studies).

It not enough to deceive the LDS with Sleight of hand on one of our sites but now to leave the 4 off

Ok. I am going to write this slowly so you will understand.
I copied and pasted the link. The link goes where it is supposed to go.
If you have a problem with how it pasted take it up with the web site.
Again, I copied and pasted the link as shown on my server. Period.

It seems some are more than slow but dim.

Oh well that is what happens to some in that they are walking in darkness at noon-day.
