The Most Correct Book: Joseph Smith's Appraisal of the Book of Mormon

Robert L. Millet; he who is built upon the rock will we receive this work with gladness.

Much has been said and demeaning about bro Millet

...separating the wheat from the chatter of the tears!

I could not leave without leaving these words of bro Millet

Understand the words such as precepts, the word “most correct’ and how it was used in the 1800's, things of God are only known by the power and spirit of God, the truthfulness and much much more...

Most importantly again he who is built upon the rock receive this work with gladness

The Book of Mormon was met for the children of today and the thing of most worth was preserved.

The Book of Mormon is not on trial it is the people and the members of today and how they treat and what they do with the Book of Mormon.

[Elsie]

Those who are happy campers would not try spending all their time tearing down others but looking for the good in the Lord’s world!

Shut UP, Demon!

  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!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,

“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

 

 

And, continuing thru the years, the high ranking leaders of that Organization have said the same!

 

Joseph Smith continues: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith-History 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "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 fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses, 18:172).

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses, 10:127).

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p.196).

 

[Elsie]

I think we have a large coward who is feeding these queries to a willing dupe who knows no better than to be used this way.

 

 

HI!

 

 My screen name is Restornu; but you can call me Resty (if you are SINCERE, that is.)

 

I provide TRUTH to ALL who would care to seek it (if they are REALLY sincere) and I do it with much interpretation needed.

I am pleased to offer my services for the Advancement of my CHURCH.

Please feel free to ask me ANYTHING and I'll avoid answering and post something that I think is witty; or a picture of a kitty.

Remember...

I am normal too; and I am a MORMON!

 

Sincerely,

Resty

 

 

[Elsie]

...and so forth.

[Elsie]

The problem with anti-Mormon propagandists is with them being out-of-context or just plain misrepresented.

And yet, lazy folks like yourself cannot EVER seem to take the time to actually point out any of these things.

---

I think you are an ACCUSER: a MINION of the Father of LIES!

Parroting whatever the voices in your head tell you to say.

[Elsie]

The Lord in His wisdom preserve records for our day to guild us in these latter days.

HA ha!

The Lord in His wisdom DESTROYED records and artifacts and CITIES of ALL Book of MORMON peoples.

[restornu]

You are calling me names

“Shut UP, Demon!” ~ Elsie

Ye protest too much

If you are so sure Elsie why don’t you put your trust in the Lord and let the Spirit of the Lord edify men souls...

After all God is very cape able of tending His own flock!

Has not the Lord given all his children the same ability to receive as well as to discern.

Is not this method you are using the same one that those who are today trying to undermind and fool the American citizen that they are not cape able to know what is good for themselves.

Is not your way Elsie also being condensending?

Children of the Lord dwell on what is good to build up the Lord’s kingdom.

[Alex Murphy]

It was given to me and I did not know where the source came from only that those questions were legit!

Well, now you know

• A) not to trust everything given to you,
• B) not to trust the person who gave it to you, and
• C) maybe those questions aren't as legit as you think, based on A and B.

[reaganaut]

That is why we always need to vet our sources, Resty.

And those questions are very easily answered.

If you wish, send them in a freepmail and I will respond.

[Godzilla]

I get a kick out of this one, Zilla:
10. How is the Bible inerrant when it contains contradictions like Exodus 33:11 and 20 or Acts 9:7 and 22:9?

Missed most of this party apparently. mormonism, like most cults, MUST denegrate the integrity of the scriptures in order to make room for equal (or greater) footing for its so-called additions. The passages above are among the WEAKEST so-called contradictions used by atheists (commonly). They don't teach their sheeple to read in context or use a greek lexicon - otherwise their sham is readily uncovered.

[MHGinTN]

When your demonically founded and directed cult calls in that army of 50,000 'missionaries' sent out to play judaizer in Christian homes, then we will sit down and shut up. Until then, expect we few to continue to expose the heresies and balsphemies and deceit of people pushing Moronism at Freerepublic.

You still haven't attributed the drag and paste you posted, other than to admit that 'it was sent to you'. Mormonism apologetics at FR is a pile of deceit, spin, and outright blasphemies. You must be bursting with pride ...

[Godzilla]

No one wore a cross nor were any churches in 100 AD have crosses!

Resty, in 100 AD Christians still met in other people's houses, caves, the catacombs beneath rome, etc. The first dedicated churchs started to appear in the third century. During those years Christians were persecuted and killed - impossible to have a building like to day.

[Elsie]

You are calling me names

Like Jesus called Peter? (Matthew 16:23)

YOUR name is RESTY; the demon who speaks thru you is Legion; for there are many.

[Elsie]

Is not your way Elsie also being condensending?

Shut up; Demon!

[MHGinTN]

Well, I’ve only recognized two different syntax characteristics in Resty posts, so I’m not sure the demon is many.

[Elsie]

They timeshare....

[Osage Orange]

Those that only see what they want to see, and read what they want to read..and regurgitate it speak for themselves.

[Osage Orange]

You are correct!!

[Osage Orange]

Don’t expect an answer.........

[Osage Orange]

Well at least you didn’t call Elsie a bigot, a arsonist, a murderer, or guilty of tom-foolery. ( which is quite a bit more serious than mere “foolery”...)

[Osage Orange]

So PD...you think the following quote from your B. Young...a mormon prophet so well thought of...mormon's named a big time college after..is out of context or not?

“I would rather undertake to convert five thousand Lamanites [native Americans], than to convert one of those poor MISERABLE CREATURES [Jews] WHOSE FATHERS KILLED THE SAVIOR…. Yes, I would rather undertake to CONVERT THE DEVIL HIMSELF, if it were possible. …I would say, LEAVE THEM, AND COME HOME, THE LORD DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO STAY THERE, FOR THEY MUST SUFFER AND BE DAMNED. …[L]EAVE THEM TO LIVE AND DIE IN THEIR SINS and IGNORANCE. …[T]HEY TAKE PLEASURE IN THEIR WICKEDNESS….” LDS “Prophet” Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 2, p. 143, 1854

I can quote many more...I will, if you will tell me how this quote above..is out of context...or just plain nuts.

FWIW-
