You TRASH Him you mean.

And Yes, Jesus DID die for you, so why are you putting your faith in Joseph Smith instead?

Smith died trying to save his own behind, Christ died to save ours.

and we love Him

If you loved Him, you (plural) wouldn’t insult His sacrifice on the Cross (by saying the sinbearing took place in the Garden), you (pl) wouldn’t think your works could contribute to salvation, you (pl) wouldn’t say He was the spirit brother of Satan, you (pl) wouldn’t claim He was your ‘elder brother’, you (pl) wouldn’t make Him a lesser god, you (pl) wouldn’t claim that you (pl) can earn godhood just like you (pl) claim He did.

The LDS don’t love or worship the Christ of the Bible. I know, I was one once. Mormons insult Christ and His sacrifice on the Cross and then claim to LOVE Him?!?!?!

Not even close.

Evidently; Saundra, you've not be a MORMON very long, or you would KNOW (like I do and have NEVER been Mormon) that 'loving JESUS' just ain't quite enough...

"He (Joseph Smith) is the man through whom God has spoken... yet I would not like to call him a savior, though in a certain capacity he was a god to us, and is to the nations of the earth, and will continue to be."

 - Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:321

 

 

"You call us fools; but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this Church or not, when you will prize brother Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the Living God, and look upon him as a god..."

- Herber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses 5:88

 

 

"If we get our salvation, we shall have to pass by him [Joseph Smith]; if we enter our glory, it will be through the authority he has received. We cannot get around him [Joseph Smith]"

- (as quoted in 1988 Melchizedek Priesthood Study Guide, p. 142)

 

 

There is "no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God"

- Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190

 

 

"I tell you, Joseph holds the keys, and none of us can get into the celestial kingdom without passing by him. We have not got rid of him, but he stands there as the sentinel, holding the keys of the kingdom of God; and there are many of them beside him. I tell you, if we get past those who have mingled with us, and know us best, and have a right to know us best, probably we can pass all other sentinels as far as it is necessary, or as far as we may desire. But I tell you, the pinch will be with those that have mingled with us, stood next to us, weighed our spirits, tried us, and proven us: there will be a pinch, in my view, to get past them. The others, perhaps, will say, If brother Joseph is satisfied with you, you may pass. If it is all right with him, it is all right with me. Then if Joseph shall say to a man, or if brother Brigham say to a man, I forgive you your sins, "Whosoever sins ye remit they are remitted unto them;" if you who have suffered and felt the weight of transgression—if you have generosity enough to forgive the sinner, I will forgive him: you cannot have more generosity than I have. I have given you power to forgive sins, and when the Lord gives a gift, he does not take it back again."

 - Orson Hyde, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p.154-155

 

 

 

"It is because the Lord called Joseph Smith that salvation is again available to mortal men.... If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation,"

 - Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 396, 670

Don’t you guys/gals every get tired of disrespecting Mormons?

You guys STILL don't get it; do you??

You have to actually be holding the reins, if you want to steer the horse where you WANT it to go.

HOW many lurker/Investigators do you think will FAIL to sse that it's MORMONism that is being pointed out for the HERESY that it is.

You individual MORMONs are loving people, good to your neighbors, family oriented, conservative to the core folks that have been decieved by doctrines of demons and those who carry them.
