Well, that link needed a projectile vomit alert.
Exactly, and Jesus wouldn't have fit the dress code either, certainly not a BYU.
“I also don’t think she has any idea who the real Christ is.”
The “real Christ” is my Savior, my very Best Friend, my Redeemer, and Soon-Coming King. I love Him. I know Him and He knows me personally. He suffered and died for me.
The “real Christ” would not approve of your evil statements about me and my faith.

You sure about that? He had choice words about legalism and the Pharisees (which are very similar to the LDS), and I seriously doubt He is very well please with a ‘church’ claiming that He is a created being who suffered in the garden rather than on the cross for sins and mock Him by claiming they can become gods too.
If you know who the real Christ is, then why in the hell are you following a false one?
Hey, Sandy, while you are here answer a question for us please...
Was God the father once man, and did He have a God once too?
And what exactly does ‘joint heirs’ with Christ mean to the LDS.
LDS theology pop quiz time!
Wow caww! Amazing testimony :-)
Yeah, afterall, our "mean" Jesus didn't destroy multitudes of people and dozens of cities.
Here's a pretty good picture of how "loving" the mormon jesus is...
In the Book of Mormon, Jesus brought death and destruction with him to the Cross. In 3 Nephi, Chapters 8 and 9, it details the events testifying of Christ's crucifixion. It describes the desolation of the great city of Zarahemla by fire, and the city of Moroni "did sink into the sea and the inhabitants thereof were drowned... the earth was carried up upon the city of Mornihah...there was great and terrible destruction in the land southward......terrible destruction in the land northward....the highways were broken up....many great and noble cities were sunk and many burned and many shaken till the buildings thereof had fallen to the earth.....all these great and terrible things were done in the space of three hours."
3 Nephi, Chapter 9, tells of further wrath as the Lord also destroyed the cities and inhabitants of Gigal, Onihah, Mocum, Jerusalem, Gadiandi, Gadiomnah, Jacob, Gimgimmo, Jacobugath, Laman, Josh, Gad, and Kishkumen. (a total of 16 major cities) Who did all this killing to testify of our Lord's atonement on Calvary?
3 Nephi 9:15 reveals the murderer of approximately 2 million innocent inhabitants of the Book of Mormon lands, "Behold, I am Jesus Christ the son of God. I created the heavens and the earth and all things that in them are." He adds, (in verse 21), "behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world to save the world from sin." I guess the easiest way was to kill almost every living creature; at least the vast majority of that portion of his "other sheep have I." This Jesus was a god of wrath, exercising some form of Old Testament Judgment by the one who was supposed to be the end of the law.
The Biblical Jesus cried out to His Father,
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

My, what a contrast.
This is what I believe, what my Church believes:
The Articles of Faith
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

You know what they say: Don’t go for a jury trial or you’ll be judged by twelve people too stupid to get out of jury duty.

We just visited Kolob Canyon in Zion park, obviously a re-creation of the Mormon god's boyhood home planet. Very pretty.
I’m quite familiar with the mormon creed.
But that’s not what I asked you to comment on Sandy.
You made a comparison about the mormon jesus vs. the Chrisian Jesus upthread and you never replied to my reply to your post.
I’m asking for your comment, based on the information I provided for you, on which one displayed the temperment most associated with Jesus .
The mormon jesus or the Christian Jesus? Which is the “mean” one?
The “real Christ” would not approve of your evil statements about me and my faith.
- - - -
What statements are evil? Please be specific.
Sounds all too familiar.....I hear “serpent talk”
Satan said...”You will not surely die”......”you will be like God”
Their conversation continued until we reach the clincher....... and Eve said.....”You must not touch it”..or you will die.”........
But now God Never said they couldn't touch it....she ‘added’ on to God's ‘spoken word.’
And various religions have been doing so ever since...add a book, add several books, add rituals, add this and that until the smokescreen is so thick the truth can no longer be seen or heard. It's how satan works and his practices cross the whole gambit of cults,occults,and counterfeit Christianity.
Oh,Sandy, is the AoF the best you can do? Really? You must know that the AoF is only ‘milk’ the LDS put forth for gentiles.
What about the Temple rites? Do THEY contain doctrine? They aren’t even LISTED in the AoF. BTW, I still have the AoF memorized so posting them isn’t really needed.
Furthermore, I was asking what YOU believed. So either you really do not have any idea what your church teaches or you are being deliberately deceptive.
C’mon, does God have a God, what does ‘joint heirs’ mean? Was He once a man? You have been through the Temple and a member for 10 years, you should be able to answer these questions. I could after only a year in the LDS.
Pony up, girlfriend. If you love your church like you claim, you should know their teachings, right?
:) even better when it is unintentional.
