If the Lds church is a "restoration," where are its simultaneous plural prophets?

Would it matter? lds dismiss the teachings of the prophets even today - whenever it is convienent or disrupts the PR campaign - then the prophets are only speaking their opinions.

Have you ever asked your local bishop why Lds don’t allow “prophetesses” or the prophetic gift given by the Holy Spirit to women — if it’s truly a New Testament time “restoration,” that is?
_______________________________________

Mormonism is definitely NOT a Book of Acts Church...

There were several women among the 120 in the Upper Room when the Holy Ghost came in and

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Acts 1:12-14

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What were those stupid females doing in an exalted priesthood holders meeting ??? Didnt those men know any better ??? Peter had you taken leave of your senses ??? Hadnt you read the book of mormon ??? MEN ONLY !!!!

Anyhow too late now...there were 120 altogother, but not Nephi...somehow his “calling” to prayer was lost in the mail...How on Earth they managed without him is antones guess...no wonder those women were able to barge their way in ...feminists...

In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) Acts 1:15

And so they prayed for days, weeks...men and women ...all believers together...

When Pentecost, the fiftieth day after Passover, came, all the believers were together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting.

(The Holy Spirit can be real LOUD)

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

(Even the women, Nana, Yes even the women...God is no respecter of persons)

And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, and other tongues, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. (Acts 2:1-4)

WOW, Nana, just WOW

So women are importantr to God, Nana ???

Yes Little Grasshopper...every race, man woman, every race and color...the only color God has ever looked for is the color RED...the blood of Jesus that He shed on the ross...covering the person with Righteousness...right standing with God...

Read about Deborah the Prophetess some time...

Gos used her to prophecy and saved the nation of Israel..

Read about the woman at the well...

she was the first person that Jesus called to preach the Gospel...she got most of her whole town saved...and no ugly tie...on her or her bike...

Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” John 4:39

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Her testimony didnt include any mention of a burning bosum, Joey Smith, nephi, the book of mormon, LDS or any mormon prophets...

nor is it conservative...

Joey Smith was just a rapist, murderer, thief, liar, mainline criminal, Calvinist, undercover Islamic, Servetus killer, anti-Christian who hated Chrsitians and started his own foul religion so that he could commit adultery and steal and vote Democrat without the conservative US government stopping him...

Resty, post 348 and 349 are personal attacks. I think you are better than that.

While I understand that you might be offended that Tennessee Nana called your faux-prophet names like;rapist, murderer, thief, liar, mainline criminal, Calvinist, undercover Islamic, Servetus killer, anti-Christian, it doesn’t warrant YOU calling her bipolar and such.

Just a gentle reminder to my FRiend, resty.

In your dreams big girl!

How do you know how "big" I am?
Or that I'm a minor ("girl")
Or even what "sex" I am?
I mean. I'm just a servant-messenger. And all "angels" means = "messenger." So how do you know "angels" have given "sexes?"

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:2)

How, for example, do I know about your leg/feet issues?

Let me see.....so are you saying in your religion it is okay to attack someone for calling your prophet names? Cuz that sounds an awful lot like Mohammedanism.

In Christianity we are told to love those that hate us. TN wasn't even hating on you - she was just posting her contempt for Joseph Smith. And you called her names. Really, resty?

Denomination does not mean Christian!

MORMON, however, does mean NON-Christian!

From the heart the mouth speaketh. Name calling does not provide proof that outrageous lies are such - only obfuscates the issue - indicating an unwillingness or incapability to provide the truth.

In the Religion forum, on a thread titled Mormon Doctrine (1958–2010), RIP., Logophile wrote:

You have cited John 3:36 and John 5:24 to support the idea that eternal life is something that can be obtained here and now.

 I agree, and would add John 17:3:

 
You have posted Scripture that you wish us to look at.
 
 
Why is it that MORMONs just IGNORE the SCRIPTURE that PROVES their religious organization is NOT of GOD??


KJV
 Galatians 1:6-9
 6.  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
 7.  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
 8.  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.
 9.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
 
 
 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
 12.  But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
 13.  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
 14.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
 15.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The point is that the Lord’s Church is not a break away from another temporal religion

MORMONism is a breakaway from Christianity.
