lol it is so sad that all the anti-Mormons have is the same old tired and worn out regurgitated propaganda.

Shown the truth they just yell they don’t see it. Their choice.

I had a different experience. After finding out about Mormonism I decided I wanted to join. It was the best decision I ever made.

Look at my simple question to them a few posts above about which bible they use.

They will not answer because ANY LOGICAL answer spears stright through the heart of their cult.

Dozens of websites like this have sprung up in the last few years. They claim more and more as time goes on the centrality of the Bible to their "doctrine" yet THEY WILL NOT USE THE JOSEPH SMITH "CORRECTLY TRANSLATED" VERSION. They even try to keep it's existence a secret from members and potential converts.

http://www.truemormondoctrine.com/key-mormon-doctrines/book-of-mormon-bible/

How can any HONEST church claim the "Book of Mormon" to be the most accurate book on earth because it was written by the man who "communed with God", yet his "translation" of the bible to be a fraud, and not use it ?

Of course Sentinel - when one can’t make a defense, obfuscate, obfuscate, obfuscate.

Boldly I stand with the Lord’s annoited servant Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father

I notice how you boldly put Joseph Smith before Jesus Christ. This seriously pisses me off!

Furthermore, JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

They teach that they are the ONLY true church and the rest of us are apostates and of the ‘church of the devil’. It is all about religion to them, not Jesus.

Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned and looked down on everyone else:

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: “God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.”

But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

I tell you that this man, this sinner, rather than the other, the Pharisee, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

(The LORD Jesus Christ, Luke 8:14

So, you too have learnt of the falseness of Mormon doctrine from Paragon Defender’s links?! PD does a great job of educating people about the laugh-out-loud falseness in Mormon doctrine and history

The duplicity of Mormonism is such that even McConkie tried to have it both ways! ...

“By obedience and devotion to the truth he attained that pinnacle of intelligence which ranked him as a God, as the Lord Omnipotent, while yet in his pre-existent state.”—Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 129

This is the same McConkie who harped often upon the notion that Jesus did the same thing to become exalted that his father before did, and taught that jesus's father gained the attributes of godhood by being an atonement for the sins of another race on another world. This purposed duplicity allows the apologists to cite whichever side of the coin fits the intended deception.

I haven’t noticed any Jewish Caucus threads. Not sure whether there are a lot of Jewish posters here, I would imagine they would feel a little unwelcome given the decidedly christian slant of the site, although religion is off in it’s own forum area which up until now seemed to keep this religious bickering out of the front page.

Thank you for all your posts, and as I have said several times here, is I don’t follow the Mormon faith and do not promote any false teachings of the LORD Jesus Christ...I am not seeking religion, and yes I do believe that Jesus Christ came to expose the hypocrites in religion, that all people wether Jew or Gentile is in need of grace and salvation.

My point was just one that we can learn as Jesus taught to love our neighbors as he has loved us, and I don’t believe that compromises our faith in being steadfast to the Gospel of Jesus Christ...

I was not condoning Mormon Doctrine but respecting Mormon people who seem to be great families and parents....

I think the Osmond Family represents that.

The entire book of Abraham is a well domumented fraud. {sentinel]

Completely false. [PD]

ROFLMAO, PD. The BoA is a proven fraud. I even took Egyptian Hieroglyphics courses at UCLA in order to try to prove it ‘true’ and there is NO WAY to reconcile what Smith wrote. The LDS had a leg to stand on when they thought the scrolls were burned in the Chicago fire, but now that they have been found, it is easy to prove Smith a fraud.

BTW, God doesn’t have an erection, which is one of the biggest errors make in Smiths changes of the fascimilies (where he said Min was God).

Open your eyes, PD. Seriously.

See what I mean about Mormon spin people ? I aske three times a simple question abotu which bible they use, the Joseph Smith Retranslation deemed a fraud by Brigham Young, or the King James Version.

He just typed 30 some-odd words rather than giving a one word straight answer.

How "Harry Reid" of him.

The fact is that the mormons have rejected the "chosen prophet who communed with God"'s "inspired" full "retranslation" of the bible.
