Elsie responded with a citation that included this line from the "first vision" of Joseph Smith: ALL their creeds were an abomination in his sight...
This is a line from Mormon "scripture" -- a "judgment" vs. Christendom. It applies to "stuff that happened over a century ago" -- about 17 centuries to more precise. This wasn't just Smith's opinion; a later generation of Lds (over a century ago) enshrined this as "Scripture."
And contemporary refuse to address what these 1870s Mormons did in labeling the rest of us as heart-drifting, corrupt, creedally abominable people. They not only refuse to address it, but they keep spreading the slander. Worldwide. Hundreds of languages; hundreds of people groups. Electronically. By curricula. By media. By missionary.
Uh, Elsie, those are dogmatic declarations, and not proclamations...
Anybody want to inform Dirtboy of the Mormon difference between a "dogmatic declaration" and a "proclamation"...
History-wise, an Lds "prophet" proclaimed polygamy as being on the "out"...and it started to be, and then became a dogmatic declaration. An Lds "prophet" also proclaimed black priesthood holders to be allowed...it was, and was instantly a dogmatic declaration.
(Other than that, not sure what your point is)
If you disagree with the Mormons dogmatically, that’s one thing. But to hold what happened over a century ago...
Dirtboy, God holds us accountable for what happens in the 1900s and the 2000s even for eternity, if Christ's blood doesn't cover it over. Actions and non-actions have consequences. Somebody's sin can lead to another's demise, physically and spiritually.
So, am I accountable for what whites did to Indians at Sand Creek in the 1800s? Are you? Or are only Mormons on the hook for what their distant ancestors did?
