You anti are not very nice people and at no time do any of you ever apply or display the lovely things of the Lord.

Some people show downright stupidity in these threads!

No. There is a difference between knowledge and belief.

Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.

Yup; That's what I said alright.

Now then, back to you: HOW do you KNOW something?

LOL!

The Scriptures support LDS beliefs.

The interpretation, and the cherry picking of which Scriptures to read and which to ignore is the art of using Scripture to deny Scripture.

God bless

Yep I agree the back biting, the insults, the mocking, the "not nice people", and fault finding are horrendous. I really wish the lds would just stop taking about Christians like that. /s/

It makes me wonder why lds are so desperate to be called "Christian" when they have such disdain for them.

Examples:

“Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the Church of the Lamb of God [i.e.. the Mormon Church] and the other is the church of the devil [i.e.. the Christian Church]; wherefore whosoever belongeth not to the church of the lamb of God belongeth to that great church; which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.” (The Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 14:10).

Or maybe this:

"I must join none of them [Christian Churches], for they were all wrong…that all their creeds were an abomination in His sight” (Joseph Smith History 1:19).

How about this:

“…the God whom the ‘Christians’ worship is a being of their own creation…” (Apostle Charles W. Penrose, Journal of Discourses 23:243).

“The Christian world, so called, are heathens as to their knowledge of the salvation of God.” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:171).

“The Christian world, I discovered, was like the captain and crew of a vessel on the ocean without a compass, and tossed to and fro whithersoever the wind listed to blow them. When the light came to me, I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness.” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 5:73).

“What! Are Christians ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as the brute best.” (John Taylor, Journal of Discourses 13:225).

“What does the Christian world know about God? Nothing…Why so far as the things of God are concerned, they are the veriest fools; they know neither God nor the things of God.” (John Taylor, Journal of Discourses 13:225).

Brother Joseph B. Nobles once told a Methodist priest, after hearing him describe his god, that the god they worshiped was the “Mormon’s” Devil-a being without a body, whereas our God has a body, parts and passions.” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 5:331).

“The Roman Catholic, Greek, and Protestant church, is the great corrupt, ecclesiastical power, represented by great Babylon….” (Orson Pratt, Orson Pratt, Writings of an Apostle, “Divine Authenticity,” no.6, p.84).

“…all the priests who adhere to the sectarian religions of the day with all their followers, without one exception, receive their portion with the devil and his angels.” (The Elders Journal, Joseph Smith Jr., editor, vol.1, no.4, p.60).

“…all other churches are entirely destitute of all authority from God; and any person who receives baptism or the Lord’s supper from their hands will highly offend God, for he looks upon them as the most corrupt people.” (Orson Pratt, The Seer, p. 255).

“Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the “whore of Babylon” whom the lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornication’s and wickedness.” (Orson Pratt, The Seer, p.255).

The Lord ways are not the world ways!

The spirit of the Lord does not teach to argue or to be nasty or unkind when the spirit of the Lord contends it makes known the love and truth of the Lord by the power of the Holy Ghost and those who are of His fold are converted.

1 Corinthians 2:

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth

Buying time for the committee to meet and fashion a response, perhaps?

“It is important to note what Alma’s words were. He did not claim Jesus would be born in the city of Jerusalem, but “at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers.””

Makes perfect sense to me!

God EXACTLY knew the location where Christ would be born. EXACTLY - down to the specific clan of Jesse.

Alma, written by Satan, only knew it was somewhere around Jerusalem, kinda within a few hundred square miles or so. He was not privy to the details of the Savior’s birth, but had a general idea of what God was up to.

“Thus, Joseph Smith gets it exactly right — the town of Bethlehem is in the “land of Jerusalem.” In fact, Bethlehem is only 5 miles south of Jerusalem: definitely “in the land,” especially from the perspective of Alma, a continent away.”

Actually, Joe Smith Fail, again. Residents knew the difference. God KNEW the difference. Had the mormonic verses been actually God inspired, Alma/Joe/Satan would have gotten it precisely right too.

Why didn’t he/they/his darkness know what God said with such precision?

“The Lord ways are not the world ways!

Restornu Fail.

If the faith was ‘ONCE FOR ALL DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS”..

Why not polygamy?
Why no polytheism?
Why not Temple rituals?
Why no salvation by works?
Why no created Jesus?
Why not Naughty Holy Spirit?
Why no Heavenly Mothers breeding in space?

Because NONE of that mormon st*ff was delivered
“once for all entrusted to the SAINTS.

It came later, after satan had a time to think how he
could distort things and keep people out of the Gospel
of Grace!

By the way...

INMANS do exactly what you posted...

“contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.”

Really, you couldn’t have posted a better Bible Verse.

You had me at hello.

You lost me at Satan.

I’m not playing.

“You had me at hello.”

Don’t think I said hello, but hello!

“You lost me at Satan.”

Yea, no one appreciates having their personal belief system
invalidated. I can understand that.

If it’s any consolation, you were “lost” in this matter
before you read the word “satan”. The great news is that
the real Gospel of Grace is open to you this very minute.

“I’m not playing.”

Me neither. I’m as serious as life or death - yours included.

There’s an anti-Mormon group of people here that spends a great deal of their time attacking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They post regurgitated propaganda on an almost daily basis. They have an obsession. You can witness many different tactics employed that you might find quite interesting. The strawman argument is a big favorite and is frequently preceded by cherry-picked quotes or other material. After the “quotation” the attacker will misrepresent what has been said or what was meant and then attack their own interpretation.

yeah sure

Link

As of December 31, 2009, there were 51,736 LDS missionaries serving in 344 church missions throughout the world. Their work, often in cooperation with local members, resulted in 280,106 convert baptisms in 2009.[12] Author David Stewart points out that the number of convert baptisms per missionary per year has fallen from a high of 8.03 in 1989 to just 4.67 in 2005.[13] He argues that the number of converts would increase if Mormon missionaries made greater efforts in meeting new people; he points out that the average companionship spends only four or five hours per week attempting to meet new people.[13]

How terrible it is that a handful of Christians post a handful of threads per week on FreeRepublic to counter the proselytizing efforts of the missionaries and public relations campaign of the mormon church. Don't you just feel SO sorry that the poor, persecuted mormons aren't able to have their message heard?
