When I was baptized my sins were washed the away and when I received sacrament often is to continuely wash of the dirt of the world.
 
 

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.

You mean this:

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.

When we are in the state of GRACE  than one is not being unkind or mean spirited, spiteful vindictive, set traps for your fellowman to fall into etc

 
 

MORMON
ATTITUDES OF SUPERIORITY
 

  1. I’m Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost -- you don’t!
  2. I’m Superior; I have God’s true priesthood power -- you don’t!
  3. I’m Superior; I can go in God’s secret Temple -- you can’t!
  4. I’m Superior; I’ve been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge -- you’re just normal!
  5. I’m Superior; I’ll have my family with me in heaven -- you’ll be with strangers!
  6. I’m Superior; I’m becoming a God -- you aren’t!
  7. I’m Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours don’t.
  8. I’m Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures).
  9. I’m Superior; I don’t HAVE a creed - I’ve 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. I’m Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. —                           -- You can’t.
12. I’m Superior; I am right (everybody knows) when I say 'evangelical' Christians are lunatics -- 
                           -- You’re a hideous narrow-minded bigot, who is persecuting me by practicing discrimination by saying I'm not a Christian.
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 a Living Prophet who talks to god every day -- you have a dim-witted hireling of Satan who only talks to himself.
16. I'm Superior; I have my calling & election made sure -- you don't.
17. I’m Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man -- you don’t.
18. I’m Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom -- you don’t ;so you can’t.
19. I'm Superior; I know secret handshake codes for afterlife entrances-- you don't.
20. I’m 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                              -- You’re on your own; when you get to wherever you’re going!
21. I’m Superior; I’m going to hie to Kolob -- you’re going to who knows where.
22. I’m Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity -- you don’t.
23. I’m 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. I’m 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).

You were listening to an evil spirit?
 
GLAD you asked that question!!!


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.
 
 
 
 
ANYBODY???
 
Like this fine looking fellow???
 
 
 
 
 

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.
 
 

Like THESE guys??
 
 
 
 
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

This post about the LDS is all wrong and deceptive

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!

Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings:

 
 
 
Praise to the Man!
 
 
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
 
 

Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav'n while the earth lauds his fame.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

 

Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

 

Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know 'Brother Joseph' again.
 
Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with
Gods
, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

I don’t engage in made up strawman bolony!

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?

who ever put that distorted mess togather is carring the devils water try to undermind the true Church!
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
My 11/2000 printing of the BoM, the one with © 1981 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. on the frontisplate, states, at the bottom of the BRIEF EXPLANATION page:


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.

SEEM appropriate?  Didn't the Quorum of Twelve convene to put THEIR imprimitur on the CHANGES?
 
How did GOD allow these ERRORS to even get STARTED?
If HIS purpose was to CORRECT error in the FIRST place...

What a sight. Binger and Elsie serenading Resty. I think "Standing on the Corner, watching all the MORMON GIRLS go by" would be special. They traverse that Highway 89 on a regular basis. We can stand out there on the deck and wait for the magic moment at sunset.

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.

Yes, I do believe that those ordinances will be needed to be performed.

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!

You stated “Also many who have lived and died without being Mormons will receive the highest possible blessings.”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2553070/posts?page=162#162

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.
