Ten Lies I Told as a Mormon Missionary

[Osage Orange]

If a religion’s actions that are objectionable, that’s cleary a different story.

I'd guess you'd have a different opinion back when J. Smith was sitting on this mormon egg.

When Mormon terrorists start murdering non-Mormons I'll give a rat's ass.

If you really don't care; then why are you replying in a RELIGION forum?

[magritte]

Osage, what is your argument on who they have to “account to” when it comes to LDS assets? Is it my business to comb through the books of your church? Does the Pope owe me an explanation for the enormous amount of wealth the Vatican possesses? ...magritte

THE FIRST BOOK OF NEPHI
HIS REIGN AND MINISTRY

CHAPTER 14

 

An angel tells Nephi of the blessings and cursings to fall upon the Gentiles—There are only two churches: the Church of the Lamb of God and the church of the devil—The saints of God in all nations are persecuted by the great and abominable church—The apostle John shall write concerning the end of the world. Between 600 and 592 B.C.

 

  1 And it shall come to pass, that if the ^aGentiles shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in ^bpower, in very deed, unto the ^ctaking away of their ^dstumbling blocks—

  2 And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God, they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father; yea, they shall be ^anumbered among the house of Israel; and they shall be a ^bblessed people upon the ^cpromised land forever; they shall be no more brought down into captivity; and the house of Israel shall no more be confounded.

  3 And that great ^apit, which hath been digged for them by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the devil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell—yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into that ^bhell which hath no end.

  4 For behold, this is according to the ^acaptivity of the devil, and also according to the justice of God, upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before him.

  5 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying: Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be ^awell with them; and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord unto the house of Israel; and thou also hast heard that whoso ^brepenteth not must perish.

  6 Therefore, ^awo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God.

  7 For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a ^amarvelous work among the children of men; a ^bwork which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other—either to the convincing of them unto ^cpeace and ^dlife eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the ^ecaptivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.

  8 And it came to pass that when the angel had spoken these words, he said unto me: Rememberest thou the ^acovenants of the Father unto the house of Israel? I said unto him, Yea.

  9 And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the ^adevil.

  10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save ^atwo churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the ^bother is the church of the ^cdevil; wherefore, ^dwhoso 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 ^ewhore of all the earth.

  11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many ^awaters; and she had dominion over ^ball the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.

  12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were ^afew, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon ^ball the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.

  13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to ^afight against the Lamb of God.

  14 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were ^aarmed with ^brighteousness and with the ^cpower of God in great glory.

  15 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was ^apoured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the ^bnations and kindreds of the earth.

  16 And as there began to be ^awars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things—

  17 And when the ^aday cometh that the ^bwrath of God is poured out upon 1 nephi 14 of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the ^cwork of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his ^dcovenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.

  18 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying: Look!

  19 And I looked and beheld a man, and he was dressed in a white robe.

  20 And the angel said unto me: Behold ^aone of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

  21 Behold, he shall ^asee and ^bwrite the ^cremainder of these things; yea, and also many things which have been.

  22 And he shall also write concerning the end of the world.

  23 Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true; and behold they are written in the ^abook which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew; and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, the things which were written were plain and pure, and most ^bprecious and easy to the understanding of all men.

  24 And behold, the things which this ^aapostle of the Lamb shall write are many things which thou hast seen; and behold, the remainder shalt thou see.

  25 But the things which thou shalt see hereafter thou shalt not write; for the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God that he should ^awrite them.

  26 And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and they have ^awritten them; and they are ^bsealed up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of Israel.

  27 And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that the name of the apostle of the Lamb was ^aJohn, according to the word of the angel.

  28 And behold, I, Nephi, am forbidden that I should write the remainder of the things which I saw and heard; wherefore the things which I have written sufficeth me; and I have written but a small part of the things which I saw.

  29 And I bear record that I saw the things which my ^afather saw, and the angel of the Lord did make them known unto me.

  30 And now I make an end of speaking concerning the things which I saw while I was ^acarried away in the spirit; and if all the things which I saw are not written, the things which I have written are ^btrue. And thus it is. Amen.

“That doesn’t make them lies to those who believe them.”

People in cults also believe what they are taught for awhile, but it is still false.

[Osage Orange]

Okay...so why aren't the member's told what the assets are? And when they ask....they are harassed, badgered, and threatened!!

Tax exempt?? HA!! Much of what LDS, INC does is certainly taxable, because some is "church, and some is LDS, INC..." ....but who really knows????

Millions of acres of land....

Millions of head of cattle....

Billion dollar resorts...Million dollar malls!!!???

Where in the world does all this money come from????

[Colofornian]

From the article: Lie #5: We Have a Living Prophet

Think about the 20th century. Two World Wars + Vietnam, Korea and all the other warfare. Abortion on demand opened up a front. Tremendous violence worldwide. New ways of theft never before imagined. Exploitation with expanded frontlines...like porn and then porn-on-demand. Communism spreading like wildfire. Hard, hard, hard times of the Depression. Having to suffer under Democratic leadership. Assassinations abound. Racism run amok.

Now imagine you're one of the 11 Lds "prophets" during the 20th century...With all of the above...with the earth needing to hear from a "living" prophet, how many canonized revelations came from these 11 20th century "Living prophets" of the Mormons?

One...Only One...

And even then it took 60 years or so for Lds to declare it as "SCRIPTURE."

And what did they deem to be as "scripture" by a "now-dead-'living' prophet?"

Well this old Lds "prophet" had recently lost family members and was still grieving them...he was in ill health -- was about to die...and he had this supposed vision of the "dead"...

Where in the world does all this money come from????

Mandatory tithing?

[Hugin]

Protestants and Catholics said much the same things about each other, and slaughtered one another over it for hundreds of years. Somehow they got past it.

[Osage Orange]

Actually I think it’s being called a bigot, hater, arsonist, and a murderer...among other things...that sorta chaps my hide...So to speak.

[tlb]

>>> these really aren’t lies, but rather beliefs with which the author now differs.

You noticed that too?

These daily bigot threads are sick.

[Osage Orange]

It’s good “work” if you can get it.

[Colofornian]

Protestants and Catholics said much the same things about each other, and slaughtered one another over it for hundreds of years. Somehow they got past it.

Except we didn't create Revelation chapters 23, 24, 25, 26 & said "this is specifically what God said about you." Canonizing it as "scripture."

Big diff 'tween opinions stated by US -- vs. treating something as if GOD said it!!!

[Hugin]

Mountain Meadows Massacre. End of story.

If that was happening today, you would have a point. Of course Mormons were also murdered and burned out of their homes, which is why they went to Utah in the first place. But that isn't happening today either.

[Osage Orange]

My purpose...is to expose the mormon religion for what I think it is.

It was set up...as a sort of religious Ponzi scheme by J. Smith...a known person of dubious character..To be kind. And not to mention the flimsy baloney it was set up on....

Magritte..I double dog dare you to sit in a church and give and tithe for 2-5-9-12-17-30 years...and NOT search out..if it's good ground.

Is your church "doing all that they can"...or is your church "putting on a show"?

We are commanded to give to good ground....

Is your church with BILLIONS in assets....digging wells, building clinic's, treating people, etc...or building malls & hotels, and buying American cattle ranches, etc.?

These are good questions....and questions that "the church" of LDS, Inc....refuses to answer. Why?

[Osage Orange]

Who's the bigot?

Name a couple or three.....

Everything above also applies to the Catholic Church. And the businesses they invest in certainly do pay taxes. So again, if people donate, and those donations are invested, why is it your business? You sound like a socialist.
