“Joseph Smith. And we run into difficulties at once, for we have to make up our minds whether his life story reveals a man who seems the kind of person God would have chosen for such a mission.”
When I read the above statement, it made me feel joyous because God never chooses “the kind of person” people would think He should choose. He uses the foolish things to confound the “wise.”
The more anti Mormon stuff posted on this site, the more strong grows my faith. You had to go way back to 1967 to find this article. Keep ‘em coming if you must.
Christians believe Christ is sufficient
lds do not: If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation. (Mormon Doctrine, p. 670). There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p. 188) Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our sins, (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, 1856, p. 247)
Christians believe that Jesus is, always will be.
lds do not: The first spirit to be born in heaven was Jesus, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 129). Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163; Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15).
You Sandy of course are free to believe what you wish. However, to deny what lds believe is disingenuous.
The more MORMON writings posted, that cannot be defended, on this site, show's just how PATHETIC are the 'believers' in that religion.
Pshaw!
That's NOTHING!!!
We can 'go back' a LOT farther than THAT, showing MORMONism's heresies!
“When I read the above statement, it made me feel joyous because God never chooses the kind of person people would think He should choose. He uses the foolish things to confound the wise.”
yes, but you are referring to the Bible, Saundra.
Joe Smith’s vile life of deception, lust and materialism
are all condemned in the same Bible.
Do you really think God would choose a vile man to use
as a prophet?
Can you name some other vile people God chose?
Or were you referring to one of the mormon gods in your
post? Could you clarify that point?
He uses the foolish things to confound the wise.

Yes but the son of perdition Joey Smith wasnt foolish...
at least not in the way that verse denotes...
The false prophet Joey Smith was a conniving, calculating, cunning, cheating, sly, crafty, shred, scheming, inventive, resourceful, wily, devious, underhanded circus showman...
and he was a fool, but not that kind...
The fool Joey smith thought he could get away with spitting in the face of the Jesus of the Christian bible...
But that same Jesus destroyed the fool joey Smith...
Although Jesus did “use” that son of perdition Joey Smith as an example to other fools not to cross a Righteous God...
But never as a prophet...
God never chooses the kind of person people would think He should choose
_____________________________________________
Some of those people think God chose the son of perdition Joey Smith’s “kind of person”
Of course youre right kid...
God never did chose the criminal Joey Smith...
