Wishy washy horse manure:

But not *as* God... They do not believe in the Trinity, they do not believe in the Holy Spirit as an individual member of the God Head. They think God made Jesus as a spirt baby though sex with his spirit wife that Jesus *and his brother* Lucifer differed on how to save man.

The Jesus they worship shares a name, little else..

________________________________________________________

As I said before, I have been to their meetings. Mind you I have not been to the ones where they have sex on the altars of the temple or where they have human sacrifices. I have been to the ones where they tearfully, apparently spiritually witness that they love and worship Christ, the Holy Ghost and God The Father. I don't remember hearing them say that it was a different Christ, Holy Ghost and God than the Christians worship but if you say so I'm sure that it must be true, especially since you know so much about horse manure.

I really thank all of you for showing me the truth, they really had me fooled. Just think I really thought they were honest people who loved The Lord. I guess that just because you “say” you love The Lord and just because you “act” like you love The Lord it doesn't mean that you do. Only you true believers here can judge the “truth” of a mans heart. The Lord will be glad to have you around on judgment day so that you can tell Him that those people that were praying to him didn't really mean it, that they should go straight to Hell without even a passing consideration.

I'm lucky I happened to read this thread, who knows how awfully I could have been mislead.

I'll go now and tell my wife what an awful person she is for not being a “true” christian. I will tell her that she needs to stop pretending to be good by being so good to other people that I know she is really evil.

Thanks again for all your help.

Don't pretend to be.

You poor thing, you demand respect for your false prophet, and for you while you twist and mischaracterize and play word games you think are so clever.

Here it is straight up, Delph: Because of Mormonism heresies and blasphemies, I respect neither your peepstone divination sexual predator of married women, nor his faux scriptures, nor you. ... That's right you self-righteous pontificator, I do not respect you, for in years past I have found your knowledge of your own religion to be, shall we say, selective and very swiss cheesish.

When a deceiver tells us that the quotes of his religion's founder and subsequent leaders of his religion are not consider 'canon of his church', well, it is patently obvious you have decided to try and deceive readers regarding what is the true history of your religion. May God have mercy upon your soul. ...

Now, what cheese do you prefer with your Mormon whine? You play the victim so well, give us another demonstration of your victimhood as you pretend the direct quotes of your religion's founder are irrelevant to the truth of Mormonism history.

And before you whine that there are no blasphemies in Mormonism, remeber the discussions over your faux melchizedek priesthood, which blasphemes the Truth that Jesus is our living High Priest, our ONLY Priest forever in the order fo Melchizedek ... and there is only one alive at a time so you're no melchizedek priest by non-Mormonism God's standards. Thus your blasphemous priesthood denegrates the Jesus of the Bible in order to make room for the Moron jesus who was not even God with us until the resurrection by Mormon reckoning and who had to earn the attributes of godhood by the same method your founder's taught the Mormonism god had to and his father and grandfather and great grandfather, etc.

...your dissembling is not even a consideration.

I wouldn't 'consider' it either; if I could not document it.

ACCUSE, Accuse, accuse...

You are sure a whimpering little boy!

***Prove to me that it existed 300 years before. You’ve tried. You can’t.***

If you will take your combined BOM-KJV , the one that is published by your own printing house, and go to...

1Jo 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

you will see even your own version of the BIBLE has it. Now, YOUR CHURCH would not print and distribute anything that is mis-translated now would it?

Later bible translations (But not the Mormon KJV) consider this a “gloss” and have removed it.

I don’t think it’s acceptable for You to attribute motive to my words.

Whimper on...

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump.

 

I shouted, "Don't do it!"

He said, "Nobody loves me."

I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes."

I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?"

He said, "A Christian."

I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?"

He said, "Protestant."

I said, "Me, too! What franchise?"

He said, "Baptist."

I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Baptist."

I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist."

I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

I said, "Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912."

I said, "Die, heretic scum!"

 

And I pushed him over.

I’ll go now and tell my wife what an awful person she is for not being a “true” christian. I will tell her that she needs to stop pretending to be good by being so good to other people that I know she is really evil.

Thanks again for all your help.”


Always happy to lend todays drama queen a hand...

Kriag,

We are all awful people, your wife, my wife, my kids, and me... Thats why we need Jesus. No amount of ‘good’ that we do is sufficient. Unless Christ covers our sin *because he is God* then we are damned to hell.

Muslims Believe Christ was a wise prophet clearing the way for Muhammed. The moron Dipack Shopra believes Christ was a Buddhist of some sort (or some other nonsense). I know many Atheist who admire the teachings of Christ, but they do not believe he is God.

I notice you cut the actual scripture out of my post so I will put it here again:

“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”

Mormons do not believe in the God which is worshiped by the rest of Christendom. Their early works by the Chuch ‘profits’ confess as much. Can they be nice people? sure! can they be kind people? sure! do any of their tears or good works matter before God? no!

Speaking of duplicitous, you know the JOD is not cannon of the church.
 
It seems that you are in DISAGREEMENT with LEADERS of the 'church', Apostate!


You must read MORMON writings to VERIFY MORMON writings...


“The Journal of Discourses deservedly ranks as one of the standard works of the Church, and every rightminded Saint will certainly welcome with joy every number (issue) as it comes forth.“  (President George Q. Cannon, Journal of Discourses, Preface, Volume 8.)

“Each successive Volume of these Discourses is a rich mine of wealth, containing gems of great value, and the diligent seeker will find ample reward for his labor. After the fathers and mothers of this generation have made them the study of their lives their children’s children will find that they are still unexhausted, and rejoice that this Record has been handed down from their fathers to also aid them in following the way of life.”  (Apostle Orson Pratt, Preface. Volume 3.)

“It is impossible to give monetary value to the past volumes of this publication, … Those who read the utterances of the servants of God, contained in this book, under the same influence by which the speakers were inspired, cannot fail to receive profit from the perusal.”  (President Joseph F. Smith, Preface, Volume 18.)

“We take great pleasure in presenting to the Saints and the world the … the Journal of Discourses, which they will find contains rich treasures of information concerning the glorious principles of Eternal Life, as revealed through God’s anointed servants in these last days. All who read the discourses contained in this Volume are earnestly recommended to adapt them to their lives by practice, and we can confidently assure them that, in doing so, they are laying up a store of knowledge that will save and exalt them in the Celestial kingdom.”  (Apostle Albert Carrington, Journal of Discourses, Preface, Volume 15.)

To try to compare the differences between Christianity to the differences between what two Christian Denominations believe is just plain silly..
