The article references a previous article. I’ll post that one the next time I post if I remember.

It’s here though if anyone wants to peruse it. It is a good article also.

Mormonism is a wolf in sheep's clothing... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (John 5:39)

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves
...
For such are FALSE apostles,
DECEITFUL workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.”

(Matthew 7:15; 2nd Corinthians 11:13).

And you are truly without Jesus. I advise that you seriously seek Him. Your mormon Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible.

You have followed a version of Jesus that is NOT of the Bible. You are following a false Christ. You have no basis for any of your beliefs. There is no proof, archeological or otherwise of any of the mormon teachings. Mormonism relies so heavily on feelings because of this. And saying I have no class simply because you cannot take the heat is just lame. But then, what is new, really?

I went to an evening young people’s get together dinner at a Mormon church many years ago. As the program progressed the hosts, some of the elders in the church asked the young people (late teens and early 20s) for a testimony.

Each stood up and gave a testimony as to why they had joined the Mormon church.

Good fellowship, friendship, good get togethers, social programs.

After all were done, I noticed that NONE had joined because they needed a saviour or even believed J Smith, but considered the church to be more of a social club.

Lol. It fits the Bible's warnings about false prophets and prophecies perfectly.

It’s very Christian.

Only if you change the meaning of the word 'Christian' from the Bible's original meaning. But then, you change the meanings of a lot of words and concepts just to make them fit your heretical beliefs.

Let he who has never spammed cast the first stone.

The irony of you, OF ALL PEOPLE, complaining about this is utterly breath-taking.

Please go and try to convert some Muslims. The history of the Mountain Meadows Massacre would positively entrall them.

lol too funny. I said you have no class because of your propaganda attack cartoon you slap up.

Disagreeing is one thing. What you and your anti-Mormon gang do goes well beyond disagreement.

“Fortunately, we are not left with emotion alone to discern God's hand in our lives. Reason, experience, counsel from others and other forms of revelation may all assist us.

Reason! Lol! Everything about Mormonism is unreasonable, illogical, unprovable, and totally unsupported by archeology. Take Smith's Book of Abraham for instance. He bought an old papyrus scroll and claimed he translated it and was all about Abraham. But any fool who studied Ancient Egypt can easily tell that the scroll a piece of the Book of the Dead. I studied Ancient Egypt in elementary school and I could tell that easy as pie. It shows the embalming process and the judgment of the soul before Osiris.


And if J. Smith couldn't be trusted in his 'translations' in that account, why should anybody trust anything he ever said? This is not even to mention Smith's false prophecies (example: his claim that the second coming would be in 1891). Everything is against Smith. The evidence indicates that he was a conman.

Except for the false prophet and prophecies part. Unless you believe the anti-Mormon regurgitated propaganda that is.


It’s very Christian.

Only if you change the meaning of the word ‘Christian’ from the Bible’s original meaning.


We are in Christ’s only fully true Church. That would make us as Christian as can be.

Have a great night!

You need to look here. You are being misled as is obvious by your worn out propaganda.

Here’s a few links to get your started from a different viewpoint. I have found that the vast majority of the “issues” brought up in the anti-Mormon propaganda can be found and addressed at http://www.fairlds.org/ but here’s more:

Your comebacks are lame. Can’t you even argue in support of your beliefs? Or is it too hard? I suppose you would rather post your list-o-links instead, because it is easier to not have to answer for yourself. All you do is sit in la-la land and make ‘comebacks’ that are not real combacks and then slap yourself on the back for scoring a ‘hit’. ROFL.
