Delmar O'Donnell: Well that's it, boys. I've been redeemed. The preacher's done warshed away all my sins and transgressions. It's the straight and narrow from here on out, and heaven everlasting's my reward.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Delmar, what are you talking about? We've got bigger fish to fry.
Delmar O'Donnell: The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo. Ulysses Everett McGill: I thought you said you was innocent of those charges?
Delmar O'Donnell: Well I was lyin'. And the preacher says that that sin's been warshed away too. Neither God nor man's got nothin' on me now. C'mon in boys, the water is fine.
Yup; that's the sweet tasting stuff that starts one drinking the poison of their soul.
And you; Saundra, are wanting to hold it to their lips.
You leave out - ON PURPOSE - the very things that would send a normal person fleeing from MORMONism and produce this PAP!
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.
You ever think this about the things JOSEPH SMITH claimed?
MORMON
ATTITUDES OF SUPERIORITY
1. Im Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost -- you dont!
2. Im Superior; I have Gods true priesthood power -- you dont! 3. Im Superior; I can go in Gods secret Temple -- you cant! 4. Im Superior; Ive been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge -- youre just normal! 5. Im Superior; Ill have my family with me in heaven -- youll be with strangers! 6. Im Superior; Im becoming a God -- you arent! 7. Im Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours dont. 8. Im Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures). 9. Im Superior; I dont HAVE a creed - Ive got 13 Articles of Faith. 10. I'm Superior; I have 4 "Bibles"-- the standard works (5 if you count the JST) -- you've only got one: in as far as it is translated correctly. 11. Im Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. -- You cant. 12.

13. I'm Superior; I have a testimony about a prophet -- you don't. 14. I'm Superior; I have a Scripture-producing Amos 3:7 prophet -- you don't 15.

I'm Superior; I have my calling & election made sure -- you don't. 17. Im Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man -- you dont. 18. Im Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom -- you dont ;so you cant. 19.

Im Superior; I will see Joseph Smith setting on the right hand of GOD, when I get to Mormon heaven, and he will recognize me and judge me favorably -- Youre on your own; when you get to wherever youre going! 21. Im Superior; Im going to hie to Kolob -- youre going to who knows where. 22. Im Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity -- you dont. 23. Im Superior; I have sun stones, moon stones, sky stones, cloud stones, Saturn stones, and the evil eye of Osirus guarding my temple -- all you have is a stupid cross.
24. Im Superior; My church has billions in assets stashed away -- yours has taken a stupid vow of poverty. 25. I'm Superior; Last - we have the power to keep a whole race out of our priesthood if we wanted to reinsert our 148-year legacy (we ARE still keeping an entire GENDER at bay!) 26. I'm superior; I have the "higher law" -- everyone else "lives under the "lesser law' because I say so...(over and over). Revision 46.2

I know it is not factual so have it your way someday you will meet Jesus you can brage how you lampoon His Church!
placemarker!
And not a single MORMON on this thread can show just WHAT is 'wrong' or WHERE it is 'deceptive'!
'THEY' just want to babble and whine; without EVER showing any EVIDENCE to back up their BASELESS claim!
We know!
You will not even come CLOSE to answering the PRESBYTERIAN question that Joseph Smith (pbuh) LIED about!
Wow, I never thought I’d see the day you are posting
things about your church that show it for what it is!
Way to go Resty!

PS - When you say I’ll meet Jesus someday...
Do you mean the mormon Jesus, who is a created spirit being,
OR the Biblical Christ who was neither created nor made, but is eternally God?
About this edition: Some minor errors in the text have been perpetuated in
past editions of the Book of Mormon. This edition contains corrections that
seem appropriate to bring the material into conformity with prepublication
manuscripts and early editions edited by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
By the way, I also used to get $20 a song from the Ogden funeral homes when I was going to college. Oh My Father, Silver Haired Daddy, Lord's Prayer, How Beautiful Upon the Mountains, 23rd Psalm...You name it, I did it. I still have all the music here in the piano bench. We had dear wife's piano moved down here last month from our SL home.
You have said confusing concepts Norman. On one hand you are saying works are not necessary - yet on the other you are saying that works ARE necessary. I was being specific - since by mormon use - salvation = godhood. If works are not necessary - why the mormon emphasis. If works are a requirement - why the minimizing them in previous posts? Works of ordinances are works never the less.
Not sure quite what you mean when you say I said that works are not necessary.
Could you provide a quote so I can respond?
Thanks!
Wow, is there anything in your life that is constructive?
It doesn’t seem so. Get a life.
You stated “Also many who have lived and died without being Mormons will receive the highest possible blessings.”

Further when you cite “Doctrine and Covenants 137’, the context appears to be refering to judging the dead based upon their earthly works - not post death work.
Your scriptures also state in ALMA 5:27-31: Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins? Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life. “
It appears from Alma the works must be performed in this life.
In DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS 25:15: I read - Keep my commandments continually, and a crown of righteousness thou shalt receive. And except thou do this, where I am you cannot come.
This also appears to state that all of the works must be performed while living.
I also read in ALMA 34:32: For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.
This appears to rule out continuation of works in the afterlife. So to say that people in this life don’t need the temple ordinances to become gods still has me puzzled.
